Former NBA player Jalen Rose has picked Luka Doncic as the MVP for the next season. Rose believes the Slovenian is in the best shape of his life and he is going to be a game changer not only for Dallas Mavericks but also for the NBA.
Doncic has been ticking the right boxes in his young career and he has impressed one and all with his skills. The 23-year-old was at his best as he averaged 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists in 65 games in 2021-22 season. He was selected to play in his third All-Star game.
Doncic has been playing a key role in the success of the Dallas Mavericks and he was carrying the team on his shoulders.
Jalen Rose said while talking to ESPN’s analyst David Jacoby, “Luka being in the best shape of his life is going to be a game changer, not only for the Mavs, but for the NBA. I predicted when athletes start to realize, that everything I put into this temple [body] affects how I perform, now all of a sudden you start to look at life; you start to look at your diet differently.
“Now Luka, is gonna be training. You see videos of him actually training now. So, based on that – do not be surprised if he balls the way he balled last year, in the playoffs in particular.”
“He’s in pole position for me. I don’t know what Vegas says, but I’m gonna be Nostradamus here. Luka winning MVP this year.”
Furthermore, Jalen Rose backed Luka Doncic to average a triple-double in the forthcoming season of the NBA.
“You know what, Luka could average a triple-double this season if he wanted to.
“I need Luka to average a triple-double and win MVP this year. You could drop a couple of points, add a couple of boards. Luka MVP – averages a triple-double, I’m putting it out there.”
