    Luka averaging almost a 34 triple double during the season, beating the toughest teams in the west playoffs to get to the final and he is SO UNDERAPPRECIATED by the midia in general.

      Exactly. He's a good young player, who certainly has potential, but could just as easily end up being one of those one dimensional, score first, non franchise players that always litter the league. The only sure thing about Edwards is that he's massively overrated at the moment.

      I don’t know if it’s clear that he’s better than Joker. They’re definitely one and two. I will say Mavs are better matched for Wolves because of their rim protection and how that slows down Ant and the Wolves bigs. And it’s clear that Doncic’s team is playing better than the Nuggets did in the last round. Hard to isolate Luka’s production compared to Jokic. Jokic had one of the all time runs last year. Luka if he can pull off the Finals MVP will be legendary, of course he’s younger too, and it will be fascinating to watch him enter his prime.

    MAILBAG question from a big longtime fan but flowers first -
    Hey Jason, getting to watch your analysis, commentary and insight is truly a privilege to me. I’n my mind you rival JJ (different style and not a fair comparison) but with that also, me and many others hold you to high standards.
    You maintain that you are not married to a take, almost pride yourself a bit with that.
    My question is: would you believe me if i told you that you very much are a prisoner of the moment?
    My theory is that the more engrossed and enthusiastic one is about a sport, and for someone like you who watches it professionally, you consume so much in such a short time that you cant help but overestimate the importance of a single 48 minutes of basketball or one single good or bad game of a player.
    If they win, it almost sounds like they were always better. If they lose, the flaws the we saw in that game were readily apparent and never possible to beat.
    After Timberwolves Nuggets you said “Jokic is still the best player im the world, all tough Ant is rapidly challenging that”. Do you remember?
    I’d really love know if you can see that too, and what implications that might have.
    I put a lot of time and thought into this question and i’d be thrilled and grateful if you answered it! 😊 thank you for your amazing work! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🍀
