If Joker wins MVP I’m ok with it.  Sad for Luka and the Mavs, but Joker is the best player on the best team in the West and the defending champ.  But I will be ticked if Luka finishes lower than 2nd in the voting.  It’s debatable between those 2 as to which team is better without their star.  Basically is Jokic more important to winning than Luka?  I’d lean towards Luka but I’m biased.

I think it's a wash. Both are tremendously important to their teams. Dallas's slow start to the beginning of the season as a team, cost Luka even though he's been magical all year.  If he had the team as currently constructed from the start, he would have had a better chance IMO.  I think Jokic will win it again..
