That's an interesting view. Ja outplayed Luka the entirety of October, November, and December. Only now in January has Luka returned to Luka levels.
Does a good 3 weeks count over the first 2 months for all-star award even if the records are similar? I personally don't think so.
Luka is without a doubt a better player than Ja. But one of my favorite sayings when I used to play was "hard work beats talent if talent don't work hard."
