Dude has been balling at pretty much MVP level recently and yet somehow its always others that gets the recognision.
Sabonis has played really well? Yeah? I guess so…hey but what about Keegan? Seen what our MVP Fox did tonight, wow! Kvon was huge for us tonight. Sabonis dropped 25 pts triple double? thats nice and all but what about those free throws??? Gotta hit those my man!
And I am not even sure why it is like that. Is it his lack of Charisma? I have been his fan for long time and even I am not watching his interviews because he is giving very very generic politically correct answers pretty much 100% cases. Is it because he is not American? (well he was born here but he is playing for another national team). I feel like he is decent flashy (has some nice dunks, fancy assists, hustles) so I dont think its that.
God forbid we lose…then comments start rolling in how we never advancing further in playoffs with Sabonis as out center and similar.
Stop the non American card when literally it has been international players who have been winning the award for the last 5 years. If you compare Domas’ production, Jokic and Embiid and even Luka have been doing that consistently for multiple seasons now that to break through the mold and be in the conversation he has to make a huge jump like his 3 pt shooting maybe. 4 of the top 5 best players right now are foreigners so stop portraying Domas like he is ignored. He is not, he is just doing the things that others have already been doing a lot these days. Heck even Sengun is starting to be dishing triple doubles every game.
