JRob was recently named to the Lega Serie A Dream Team and is one of three finalists for League MVP.
In 31 games with Trapani, he has averaged 14.4ppg, and 6.1 apg while shooting 50% from the floor, 41% from 3 and 84% from the line. Trapani is 23-8 ad Robinson led them in almost all offensive categories in two playoff games this week.
La doppia doppia da 22 punti e 10 assist di Robinson e la tripla di Galloway sul finale regalano alla Trapani Shark la vittoria in Gara-1 di quarti di finale contro la @PallacReggiana a cui non bastano i 21 punti di Barford 🙌#LBAPlayoff #TuttoUnAltroSport @UnipolCorporate pic.twitter.com/og9NARdV7o— Lega Basket Serie A (@LegaBasketA) May 17, 2025

Go 5.
14 and 6 does not seem like MVP numbers. Is the game drastically different from the NBA? I know the lane is wider in Euro ball, but not much else.
"best player from best team" is pretty entrenched in european mindset towards individual awards in sports
Team scores seem to range from low 80s to just over 100 which is much lower than the NBA. There is more a focus on everyone contributing as well so it's not the NBA where one or two players account for 60% of the shots. As said above, he is the clear leader of a playoff contender so puts him in the MVP talks.
It's also a lot harder to score in Europe than NBA. They pretty much allow hand checking, its technically a foul but so is traveling in the NBA. There is no Shai getting free throws because he tripped or Reggie kicking people on his jumper or Harden doing whatever he does.
They also play 8 less minutes a game (4 x 10min qtrs) which is some of the same issues you see in the WNBA with statistics being lower, there is just less time to get them.
