tbf Luka will be what 26 by the time the next MVP is named? plenty of guys won their first MVP at or after age 26. Kobe, Embiid, Harden, Curry, Dirk, KG, Shaq to name a few
Luka will for sure get his MVP eventually. Mavs just need to start the year strong in the standings for him to build up some momentum
I disagree that Luka retiring with one MVP would look bad on him. it would be the same as Harden where people understand he had multiple MVP-level seasons but the voting didn’t always go his way which is why he only ended up with one
