Today, Nowitzki talked about Doncic on the NBA on Prime program.
Talking about the possibility of Doncic winning the MVP, Nowitzki said: "I very much hope that he can win the MVP. I think he has maintained an amazing level for many years and is definitely worthy of this honor. My only question is, can the Lakers' record meet the standards? You know you usually have to be at least the top two or top three seeds in the conference to be favored. We have to see the Lakers. How is his performance this season? After all, LeBron is still recovering from injuries, and they still have a long season to play. But as long as he can maintain this state, there is no doubt that he will be included in the MVP discussion. "
In the first three games of the season, Doncic averaged 45.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 58.4%.
