No, with 4 more wins he'll at least have taken a Conference Finals to 6 games-- something Luka has never done.
Conference finals haven’t started yet lol

SGA averaged 8.7 Free Throws per game this season.
The exact same number as Luka yet Shai is the free throw merchant according to you.
It’s ok to like Luka better than Shai, no one cares. But to say that he’s better in every category other than perimeter defense and ft% is a dumb thing to say and easily refuted.

Luka is better than SGA at every single aspect of the game of basketball outside of perimeter defense and free throw percentage. SGA is a foul merchant, averaging most PPG off free throws.
Take away every free throw in the NBA and SGA’s scoring goes from 2nd to 7th in the league.
I love when people post fake stats. You wanna see the real stats? And does this make Doncic a FT “merchant”?
Games/FT’s attempted/avg per game
Luka: 70 / 608 / 8.69 FT’s per game
SGA: 75 / 649 / 8.65 FT’s per game
What say you now? SGA looked way better than Luka last night too. Luka got the Dorture Chamber
And to add to those FT stats.
Luka took 744 3pt attempts
SGA took 269 3pt attempts
Now, isn’t it fair to assume when you drive the ball more you get fouled more? Less players are fouled on 3 point tried than 2.
Give me a break with this merchant crap, Luka is a whiner every game he plays. He’s worse than Russ ever was.

Fair points, but to me SGA plays to get fouled sometimes, just as James Harden once did. Nothing wrong with that, just what I’ve seen with my own eyes.
You’re right he did. But 1 game when both players have played 6 years in the league and Luka has been better every single season, doesn’t move the needle for me.
Luka is playing hurt right now, and that’s quite obvious.

Every player tries to get fouls its part of the sport. Luka complains more though.
And better is subjective. I would say SGA is more a team player, he defers more overall. It makes the overall team better. Mavs have 2 stars in Luka and Kyrie but they try to do too much and therefore the rest of team is worse. OKC has a better overall team due to that team concept. Luka seems to want his stats over team. He tries way too many hero 3 balls. I mean just look at the 3 attempts compared to SGA. If he’s making them it works but when not it breaks down. He also doesn’t stay in top shape and it always catches up late season. So he does put up stats likely at detriment of team.

Isn’t getting a lot of points on free throws a good thing?

Yup. I remember in 2011 playoffs Mavs vs OKC when Dirk was 24/24 from FT line in game 1.

Jokic just won his third MVP, Mr. race-baiter.

It has recently become a bad thing in certain corners of Twitter the best players have always gone to the line a ton.
