And the crazy part is even without the best record in the league the team still had a good record this year, he clearly should have won the MVP this year, the media just hates him so much😂 they kept expecting him to lose but he kept winning until they reached the finals, I know that pissed them off😂
He’s winning it this season Mavs are winning 55+ games and they will be a top 3 seed.The only reason they haven’t been giving him mvp is cause he’s not a top 3 seed which makes no sense cause Jokic and Westbrook won mvp while being a lower seed than Luka’s 2023-24 Mavericks.
Ayton isn't changing anytime soon man. He's going to shoot those midrange shots and never attack the basket. Yeah he could be amazing if he had that drive in him but he just doesn't. Dude is what he is after so many years.
As a #Suns fan..we think about how bad of a decision that was made maybe every week or so even though he got traded..we never recovered from drafting early Dragan Bender, Josh Jackson and others that weren’t long ago..
10:54 "yea, luka doesn't play defencec sometimes" proceeds to show a clip of where porzingis (a center) shot 5 feet behind the three point line on luka's closeout
@@teogotdasauce4233 I am a fan of Luka but I totally understand if he doesn't like Luka's playstyle (where he has the ball most of the time) and demeanor on the court, because it is really frustrating at times. But Luka battling through injuries the last playoffs is something to admire.
Jordans first 5 years were in the 80s. And a few months in the 90s. Lebron and Kobe played in much slower paced seasons so their numbers would suffer on top of Kobe not being a number 1 option
What People seem to forget is the Suns success Ayton sacrificed for the team. They ALL kept saying it. Say what you want about his performance etc but team success of stats is most important.
@@Glassofmilkwithcookies some has to sacrifice their game in a big three and the one that does gets the heat. Bosh, Love, Westbrook as examples. Now I’m not saying Beal was great
The 2018 draft will likely go down as one of the greatest ever as it could contain 2 MVPs, a DPOY, and a few other all-stars. The only drafts that stack up to this are 1984, 1996, 2003 and 2009
Pretty deep draft to be honest. Has stars and a ton of starter/roleplayer level guys. It legit has a chance to be one of the best ever, but way too early to lock it in.
surprisingly yeah. I don't know if Memphis needs his rebounding but for contracts sake if he could become a 19 and 10 guy with like 1 block he could be one of em
Holy shit, i didnt realise that that is what happened to zhaire smith. I thought he just didnt perform well... hope he can make a return to the league!
Hoping there are Hornets fans in this thread huhu cos that season before Miles Bridges got suspended was pretty nice (I believe he won player of the month at the start of that season? Or was it week hahaha man that was hype.) If they stay healthy this year, with all their pieces clicking at the right spots (Melo staying in games, BMill becoming a solid 2nd option, Bridges as a solid pnr and iso option, 'The Condor' becoming an anchor on defense), maaaan making the playoffs this coming season would be a dream come true. WE NEED THEIR ANNOUNCER ON THE PLAYOFFS MAN!!!
I love the hornets announcer also lol. I remember watching them the year before bridges got suspended, and they were looking really good for a young team. Even this year with Miles coming back he looked pretty good, and Miller looks like a solid piece as well
yeah anyone who actually watched suns games knows this. he does not play at all to his athletic ability its like hes always playing scared and is a liability defensively because his lack of physicality
Has he been underwhelming, yes, but I wouldn’t put him in the same category as Olawakandi and Anthony Bennett. I think he’ll have a long career but will never be the franchise player Phoenix drafted him as. He’s in the “Meh” category like Kenyon Martin, Andrew Wiggins, and Joe Smith.
@@LockdownK but he still didn’t win MVP. His team didn’t win enough games. Ik the Hawks suck right now, but a lot that is due to the horrific front office situation going on in Atl
I didn't really think much of ayton. When he got picked 1, over Luka!? Well I assumed the scouts saw a shaq with a shot. He turned out to be what I thought, a decent center
Giving Luka credit for defensive winshares is the same as giving Zach Lavine credit for the 20/21 Bulls defense. Incredibly disingenous he was a godawful defender the entire playoffs apart from round 1.
You wouldn't make these excuses for any other superstar if they had a terrible defensive series. Luka is an all time great offensive player but that doesn't mean he gets a pass for getting blown by every defensive possession in the NBA finals most of all.
@@LockdownK Adam Silver's announcement on the draft night is close to perfect, that's why your mispronunciation of his last name right after that clip makes it even funnier :) Good analysis btw.
Ngl it’s hard seeing Luka winning a mvp since it’s a regular season award and there are a bunch of players with really good stats not saying he’s stats aren’t good they’re amazing but it’s just jokic is insane he’s super effective at 58% while averaging 26,12,9 embid is more effective than Luka while averaging more points Shai is more effective and a way better defender Giannis who I feel like should have been top 3 in mvp is just a more valuable player as he is impactful defensively and super effective yea he a big but there no other big dominating the paint no other inside scorer is even close to him the dude averaging 30 I honestly would take AD as mvp over Luka since he had a DPOY season at 3.5 strks and average 24, 12 cause it’s the most valuable player not best offensive player he’s the worst defender of the top 10 players possibly 20 but people only care about who shoots the ball more and who scores more without looking at how they do at the other end and if they effective how good they make their teammates
Being the greatest aint all about stats, its about aesthetics as well, how good you look while playing also your swagg and entertainment value. Luca has great stats but looks boring as hell.
Ayton is a failure but not a bust Bagley is a clear bust Doncic is a already a Superstar and a HOF almost JJJ is a dpoy and might be the best defender in this draft Young is Star and good player but too much of defensive liability
I'm confused why people call Ayton a failure/bust. Sure he is not better than Luka and or Tray he is 17 point walking double double who averages a block per game. Could he be better sure, but calling that a failure is crazy imo. All the other people you mentioned though I can see your point haha
@@LockdownK Yeah Ayton is an double double guy and a max player. But he has underperfomed and playing mycareer 2k before games. To me i will yell to him you have a nba career practice that. From being scouted as next David Robinson to a crying for a 5 year max contract when you have a 4 year 133M. I will be a grateful person for that. My man is a poor mans KAT. Love ur videos tho.
Trae young is a defensive liability but Luka Doncic is such a terrible defender he has the top 5 games in NBA history of getting blown by. A dude who has mads playoffs 3 times has more games being blown by than any player in playoff history. That’s a defensive liability . He is a cone wearing #77
@@caponecharles2643 I understand the point but he led the league in playoff steals. But i mean he played the most games so he is a liability on defense maybe. Tho hes bigger than young so bad defender but not a liability
Playing 2K before games is not a bad thing haha. Different people have different ways of getting locked in. But I understand your point, from what he/the media has shown of Ayton, it leaves something to be desired from him as a player.
Lol I was ahead of the NBA world Giannis Jokic Luka were best in there classes and future of the league watched FIBA for year's still . Frank Nita my bad pick maybe it was the KNICKS system
Pat Bev not overrated lol Dillion brooks not either he a role player that think he can get in ppl head by playing defense(Hack) n talkn sht 😂😂light skin Pat Bev,Tyreese got a gold medal he would’ve never got put on that team to represent our country he proved his point SO FAR…Rudy,Beal & Trae overrated IMO especially Rudy
