DALLAS — Luka Doncic’s statistics speak volumes as he continues to make NBA history while guiding the Dallas Mavericks.

Some have questioned why Doncic hasn’t received more MVP consideration.

Entering Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, Doncic has averaged 34.6 points, 9.9 assists, and 9.1 rebounds over 57 games.

The Mavs have secured a 34-23 record with him in the lineup.

Furthermore, he’s notched 17 triple-doubles, including a historic streak of six consecutive 30-point triple-doubles and five straight 35-point triple-doubles, both setting new NBA records.

During a recent appearance on SiriusXM Radio, former NBA player Eddie Johnson pointedly criticized Doncic’s on-court behavior, suggesting it might be the reason behind a lack of favor with MVP voters.

Here’s the thing with Luka. I don’t think a lot of the voters like him,” Johnson said, “See, and I think that’s what Luka has to improve on.

And not that he’s not a nice guy. I think he’s obviously his teammates like him. It’s just his demeanor on the basketball court.”

Johnson further commented on how Doncic’s frequent disputes with referees and visible frustrations on the court could be alienating him from MVP voters.

I just think he gets into it,” Johnson explained. “He complains a lot and I think it turns some people off and I’m thinking it might turn some voters off because he is having a great year, man. You cannot ignore it.

But it’s something with him that I think, and you just said it, that you feel like some voters aren’t going to vote for him.
