Luka with 60-21-10 and whatever the hell this is to send it to overtime. Unreal is right. 

Dude is going crazy this season. If the Mavs can really start winning, he's MVP. But he's fun to watch because he actually shows a lot of raw emotion and passion for the game.

Luka’s destination viewing. The guy can shoot 2 for a million and turn it over 10 times and he’s still the most interesting player in the game. Other than Wilt, has there ever been a 60-20-10 triple double?

This is as the first in history according to Twitter not even Wilt had one

Wilt’s best line:

53-32-14-24 blocks-11 steals

 

Shaq had a 60-20 but didn’t get the assists.

It would be funny to time travel back to 2000 (or even 2005…?) and tell a huge NBA fan that in 2022-23, the two years prior, and for the foreseeable future the clear cut MVP candidates are a Greek, a Slovenian, and a Serb with no Americans in sight unless I’m missing someone.

Tatum a lil' bit, but you're right - those are the three leaders and three most likely.

Tatum is probably the MVP front runner right now, but yea, Luka, Giannis and Jokic are on his heels.

Embiid  if he  can stay healthy has to be in the discussion 

[Uspshoosier]

Need a recovery beer.    That’s awesome 

[Alford Bailey]

Luka and Jokic both fun to watch

I’m thinking Jokic leads things right now. Those guys are garbo when he isn’t on the floor, but I definitely forgot about Tatum.

As of right now there definitely isn't a wrong answer between those 4.

All 4 are absolutely killing it. Mavis need to get some help around Luka or he may seek a new destination when his contract is up.

When was the last time the NBA had 7 dudes averaging 30+ going into the new year?

He signed the rookie extension so he’s in Dallas through 2027. Cubes definitely needs to get him some help though.

The few years Cuban has should be enough to attract talent. The unfortunate part about having an elite player that can carry a team like Luka can is that they will always be good enough to avoid a high lottery pick unless an injury occurs. Gotta hit.in FA or mid round picks.

I imagine I'd have to play a game at a 4 and under day care on a fisher price goal to get a stat line like Wilt's. Even then I'm not sure I could get the assists or rebounds. Seriously though when I see his #'s I can't help but think he was playing against 4 card board boxes and 1 guy chucking it at the rim.

I don’t think the reality was too far from this tbh.

Wilt was so far ahead of his time. All time great level size and athleticism. And the crazy part is he would excel.in today's game. He would not have the insane numbers but I bet he would still average 30 pts and double digit rebounds.

And this is why teammates are never gonna bat an eye when certain guys go off. Dude passes up a gimme to get his guy a clean 3. Stone nuts.
