Quick Summary

Draymond Green expressed his belief that Luka Doncic will not win the NBA's Most Valuable Player award this season despite Doncic scoring 52 points in a recent game against the Jazz and declaring himself on an MVP mission. On his podcast, Green argued that any slight dip in performance could cause voters to lose interest in Doncic’s candidacy, noting that greatness can become mundane over time. This stance follows Green’s earlier comments where he stated that NBA general managers didn’t consider Doncic as a potential future MVP recipient.

Story summary

On his podcast, Draymond Green reiterated his belief that Luka Doncic will never win the NBA's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award despite Doncic's strong performance this season. After dropping 52 points against the Jazz, Green acknowledged that Doncic appears to be on an MVP mission but maintains skepticism due to potential inconsistencies from injuries or poor games. This stance follows a survey of NBA general managers predicting the 2026-27 MVP winner where Doncic received zero votes. Green's opinion stems from the idea that people may become indifferent to consistent greatness over time.
