HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

He totally is, but isn't playing like one so far. That was my point.

We played 11 games, and on paper Luka should look close to the best player on the floor in each game from both sides. Midseason Luka often was the best player on the floor by a wide margin. We haven't seen that even once. Yuck, he wasn't even the best player on the floor from his own team in the majority of the games.

Credit to Brunson, playing like a "mini" star so far, otherwise the Mavs have the same record as the Blazers or even worse.

I wouldn't even put Luka and Brunson in the same league with each other, as far as which is the best player. Even playing badly by his own standards, Luka is not stoppable. On a poor night, he still has 20 points and 10 assists. Without taking anything away from Brunson, JB can be played off the floor when the opponent chooses to focus on him.
