Gilbert Arenas is preparing for the upcoming season as one of the most important and controversial commentators in recent years. He believes European star Luka Doncic will be this season’s MVP.
After leading the Mavericks to the NBA Finals last season, Doncic, a three-time All-Star, is expected to improve on his impressive stats of 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game in 70 appearances.
Arenas predicts that with Klay Thompson by his side, Doncic could average a triple-double. He feels Doncic is a top candidate for MVP with Thompson’s assist potential.
The former NBA star believes Doncic just needs a trophy to further elevate his game. He is confident that Doncic will achieve something extraordinary this season.
Doncic received praise and advice from Dirk Nowitzki, encouraging him to continue playing his game and not be deterred by past disappointments.
While experts expect Doncic to excel, some believe Jayson Tatum is another contender for the league’s next MVP title.
Quinn Cook expressed his belief that Tatum will win MVP this season based on his recent achievements and performance.
Tatum, fresh off winning his first NBA championship, is confident in his abilities and anticipates another successful season, aiming for a rematch in the Finals.
