Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green says Luka Dončić and Jayson Tatum are unlikely to win the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award during their careers. Green, a four-time NBA champion, pointed to LeBron James’ example as he made the prediction. He also issued a particularly firm warning about Dončić, saying the Los Angeles Lakers star will “never” win MVP beyond the 2026–27 season. The comment puts the focus on Dončić’s prospects as he approaches that season and on whether he can claim the league’s top individual honor afterward.
