Luka led the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals. He was also second in Kam's favorite +/- stat.
Kamm has something against Luka. Maybe he didnt want him in the draft back then, or its some other explanation, I don't know. Once the team loses, its always always Lukas fault. Once the team wins, its 99% of the time always the supporting cast that made it happen. IMO Luka has been fantastic this series and best player by far, and only one out of two of our players having the guts to continuously step up to the moment and the pressure regularly in this series and produce. But lets not only make critics of the above opinion from Kamm, that opinion is fully OK and might be even correct. This is an opinion, and IMO all opinions are fully welcome, and I like to read this still, despite not agreeing with it. It challenges ones other opinions and we need to challenge opinions. Some of the people here are being called Luka fan boys I can read. I am probably included in this group. It's also OK to have such opinion. But on other side, isnt it also OK to be a fan of Luka. This should not be prohibited or anything like that.
The bottom line when you take everything into account is that only 2-3 other guys in NBA history have achieved early in their career what Luka has achieved, and based on this being a fan of such accomplishments of a particular player is fully normal. Its easy as a fan to get too muched used to this and take it for granted, and maybe not realise what a player is actually doing and contributing. Players around Luka are mainly castaways from other teams or lowly drafted players which Luka helped lift their game in the recent years. Its no coincidence that once we drafted Luka, this team became a winning team, heading to playoffs and competing, never accepting losing.
Coming back to voting, the only fair system is listing all players involved that played significant minutes. Because once you remove somebody and only list a few of your favourite players, in doing so you are actually taking the voting as your own decision and process. The only fair thing is to list all players above 5, 10 minutes played and let fans decide who they want to chose for the award. Once you start filtering things on your own, you start making the voting a biased undemocratic process.
