There is a clear division between Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks fans because of the impending NBA Finals. But when it comes to the MVP of the Finals, Patrick Beverley of the Milwaukee Bucks has just one option: Luka Doncic.
Doncic was acquired by the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for fellow rookie Trae Young immediately after he was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks with the third overall choice in the 2018 NBA Draft. The Slovenian great had an immediate and profound effect on his squad, averaging 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per contest. Throughout his six-year NBA career, Doncic improved with time and guided the Mavericks to four postseason trips. In addition, he was named Rookie of the Year, was selected to five NBA teams, appeared in five All-Star Games, and won the scoring title this season. Doncic has transformed the Mavs into a championship-caliber club that can compete with the best in the NBA alongside All-Star guard Kyrie Irving. This is especially clear now that the All-Star guard will face the Celtics and Jayson Tatum in a best-of-seven series to determine the winner.
