Actually annoying how much Luka has been disrespected this season. I hope they win the trophy just for the media to pretend that's what they said all the time.
It's the first time I see that a player basically won back to back Player of the Month awards and people still find ways to downplay him. Literally one of the best records after All-Star Break, top 10 in both defensive, offensive, and net rating after the ASG, but still went down to 3rd in MVP voting. While SGA literally played subpar in his last 15 games or so (27P-5R-3A in like a span of 10 games this month while Luka went 33P-10R-9A and with a better record), and basically went up to 2nd in MVP ladder. To top it off, some "analysts" have doubt he will be First Team because they would rather have Edwards. This is confusing and comical at this point.
@@buckisz you ain’t even being honest with your damn self. As a matter fact I highly doubt you even believe that. He’s nowhere near the scorer playmaker or passer and does not make his team better than Luka does. the only thing you said right was defense knock it off. And I don’t wanna hear no excuses when he gets bounced by Booker and KD in the first round which will be his 3rd first round exit in a row
@@nobodybutsunder Basketball is a team game. I believe my eyes. Ant can score just as good if not better but he shares the ball and lets the other pros be a part of the process. He doesn't need the ball in his hands all the time to be successful. Your boy does. No hate. Everyone who thinks for themselves can see it. like I said ant all day.
A legitimate MVP candidate averaging 34/9/10 and not being named in the 1st team ALL-NBA is ridiculous. Its fcking hilariously-sad on how much the media hate Luka
@@Refreshment01bro what wrong with u? I think u needa get yourself checked out dawg 😂😂😂 Luka has been to the conference finals with literally no one besides Brunson. Beat a really good suns team to get there. Antman has a really good squad right now and so does thunder even though they young. Luka finally has a decent team and it’s still worse than the team that antman and sg has yet Luka is so great he makes up for it. Stop the hating bruh. Antman and sga who is older than Luka hasn’t done nothing even close to what Luka has done in the regular season and playoffs. Come with facts bruh not emotions 😂
The whole world is experiencing the rigged and stupid nba. The nba has been hating on luka since he was a rookie. Luka has been smiling, having fun winning and giving the nba the finger ever since😅😅😅
He’s white, he’s a foreigner, and he’s not the right type of NBA build but still is succeeding, and Kyrie is his teammates and the Mavs are doing better than the Lakers which is hurting LeMedia’s narrative.
It's hilarious man. Before the season started they were skeptical that Luka/Kyrie would work. That Kyrie would have off the court problems again and that Luka was a terrible defender and would hog possessions away from Kyrie. Now they have 50 wins. They clinched the playoffs and are one of the hottest teams since the All star break. Kyrie has been productive with ZERO off court problems, Luka is top 10 in steals, is having his best season stats-wise, and is moving the ball around and letting kyrie handle the offense more. And what is ESPN and all these other media outlets saying in response? People still have Luka 3rd or 4th in MVP voting. And some of them are actually saying that the Mavs being good was "always expected". One article even said it was obvious that this team would be good and mesh well together cause "Luka is playing next to a future HoF". Completely ignoring the fact that Kyrie missed 23 games this season and the Mavs still got 50 wins. the back and forth moving of their goal post is straight comedy for me.
The best way for dallas to shut them up is by winning championship. Tough since i believe they might be missing one piece (or more developed Lively for instance) but with some heroics by The Team and some luck it is doable. Maybe Nuggets will actually finnish in 2nd or 3rd spot so that is first sign of luck for Dallas. Still better to face them in conf. Fin. then in 2nd round… But first Clipps! Go Mavs!
Dallas winning the chip would be a big f u to the media, exactly like how Nuggets did last year. I would be ok with either of these two teams winning this year
Still statistics have proven that the Kyrie-Luka combination was probably a mistake and that Dallas would of been better off trading for a superstar to pair with Luka in another position and have the 2 guard spot be filled by a better off ball player/defender, still even after the multiple years of GM mismanagement Luka has been able to carry this team but they prob would be able to compete for a chip this year if they traded for someone else than Kyrie
jokic has better advanced metrics, but in all honestly it's a 2 man race, and they tried to pigeonhole Tatum and SGA even as SGA has had the worst month of his season when it matters most.
How the hell can u stop either Luka or Kyrie, let alone both of them at the same time? Kai is freakin maestro, his game is so smooth that he should be in mvp race if that is the rating to go by 😅
Lou Williams is also tripping, I cannot imagine how can you guard Luka and Kai by taking away all their comfort zones... You need to double team them if you want to make uncomfortable for them...hahahaha

MVP even if they dont give it to him. He's averaging Legend stats.
Yeah I no longer care who they 'give' the MVP to. It's ambiguous and political.
best pplayer in nba
He does not have MJ blood.. more like Larry Bird
The nba hasnt realized, (maybe 5 more years dah) that a players IQ has a place in the nba. And we all know why😂😂😂. Just look at their talking heads and refs😮😮😮
Bruvvas
True. Nba organization is stacked with low iq employees. Not even talking media... Bunch of bozos 😂😂
Actually annoying how much Luka has been disrespected this season. I hope they win the trophy just for the media to pretend that's what they said all the time.
It's the first time I see that a player basically won back to back Player of the Month awards and people still find ways to downplay him. Literally one of the best records after All-Star Break, top 10 in both defensive, offensive, and net rating after the ASG, but still went down to 3rd in MVP voting.
While SGA literally played subpar in his last 15 games or so (27P-5R-3A in like a span of 10 games this month while Luka went 33P-10R-9A and with a better record), and basically went up to 2nd in MVP ladder.
To top it off, some "analysts" have doubt he will be First Team because they would rather have Edwards. This is confusing and comical at this point.
Lebron use to win them all the time if im not mistaken. And I believe lebron holds the most player of week accolades in NBA history.
What happened in a week to go from 2nd to 3rd… Shaq been pushing the SGA tripe
Shaq is afraid of his own legacy when Jokic turns out to have a better career and Doncic too. Imagine his spot on the list LOL
Ant over Luka is diabolical
Ant is the better option. He can do everything Luka can do plus plays hell a D. Just be honest.
@@buckisz you ain’t even being honest with your damn self. As a matter fact I highly doubt you even believe that. He’s nowhere near the scorer playmaker or passer and does not make his team better than Luka does. the only thing you said right was defense knock it off. And I don’t wanna hear no excuses when he gets bounced by Booker and KD in the first round which will be his 3rd first round exit in a row
@@nobodybutsunder Basketball is a team game. I believe my eyes. Ant can score just as good if not better but he shares the ball and lets the other pros be a part of the process. He doesn't need the ball in his hands all the time to be successful. Your boy does. No hate. Everyone who thinks for themselves can see it.
like I said ant all day.
@@buckisz dude if that was the case Luka wouldn’t be getting a triple double damn near every game fam once again your eyes deceiving you
@@buckisz😂 if he could he would… but he doesn’t even come close… try 9 pts, 4 boards, and 4 assists short of what Luka does per game
A legitimate MVP candidate averaging 34/9/10 and not being named in the 1st team ALL-NBA is ridiculous. Its fcking hilariously-sad on how much the media hate Luka
Blackcel envy
What’s his team record? What’s his defense rating? Offensive stats were the only thing listed here.
@@SeverancePay500 and SGA isn't a better leader or team player. That's why he's nothing wo chet. No playoffs lmao
@@chauvintookaknee4blm268 no player can win alone that’s a moot point
@@SeverancePay500 carrying a team to playoffs is possible. You completely changed the goal to protect your diversity star lol
Luka and kyrie gonna shock the world. They can't believe they can play together as a team. I believe 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🏆2024
so if you were a GM and knowing what you know about these players now you’re telling me you’ll pick SGA and Ant over Luka? seriously?
Yes anyday.
@@Refreshment01 Then you would lose, every day.
They are 3 different players. They are all great...but right now it's Luka
@@Refreshment01bro what wrong with u? I think u needa get yourself checked out dawg 😂😂😂 Luka has been to the conference finals with literally no one besides Brunson. Beat a really good suns team to get there. Antman has a really good squad right now and so does thunder even though they young. Luka finally has a decent team and it’s still worse than the team that antman and sg has yet Luka is so great he makes up for it. Stop the hating bruh. Antman and sga who is older than Luka hasn’t done nothing even close to what Luka has done in the regular season and playoffs. Come with facts bruh not emotions 😂
SGA has a proven leadership leading his young team into top seed . luka has kyrie and fumble again this year
Luka for MVP being from Dallas this really upsets me that Luka doesn’t get the respect he deserves
The dudes just hate it and i love it. The top 5 players in the NBA are not even american and that kills them from the inside .
I swear every year I see Luka bust some crazy stuff and every year the disrespect gets crazier.
The whole world is experiencing the rigged and stupid nba. The nba has been hating on luka since he was a rookie. Luka has been smiling, having fun winning and giving the nba the finger ever since😅😅😅
They say Luka can't be MVP cuz the record but Westbrook got MVP in the 6 seed and so did Derrick Rose why not Luka cuz he's white 🐻❄️ 🤔
The media hates Luka. But for what? It’s really jarring to see and hear
He’s white, he’s a foreigner, and he’s not the right type of NBA build but still is succeeding, and Kyrie is his teammates and the Mavs are doing better than the Lakers which is hurting LeMedia’s narrative.
He is too slow and can't jump
@@vn_loc7316 too slow but drops 40 on your favorite team
He's white
It's hilarious man. Before the season started they were skeptical that Luka/Kyrie would work. That Kyrie would have off the court problems again and that Luka was a terrible defender and would hog possessions away from Kyrie.
Now they have 50 wins. They clinched the playoffs and are one of the hottest teams since the All star break. Kyrie has been productive with ZERO off court problems, Luka is top 10 in steals, is having his best season stats-wise, and is moving the ball around and letting kyrie handle the offense more.
And what is ESPN and all these other media outlets saying in response? People still have Luka 3rd or 4th in MVP voting. And some of them are actually saying that the Mavs being good was "always expected". One article even said it was obvious that this team would be good and mesh well together cause "Luka is playing next to a future HoF". Completely ignoring the fact that Kyrie missed 23 games this season and the Mavs still got 50 wins.
the back and forth moving of their goal post is straight comedy for me.
The best way for dallas to shut them up is by winning championship.
Tough since i believe they might be missing one piece (or more developed Lively for instance) but with some heroics by The Team and some luck it is doable.
Maybe Nuggets will actually finnish in 2nd or 3rd spot so that is first sign of luck for Dallas. Still better to face them in conf. Fin. then in 2nd round…
But first Clipps!
Go Mavs!
Dallas winning the chip would be a big f u to the media, exactly like how Nuggets did last year. I would be ok with either of these two teams winning this year
Still statistics have proven that the Kyrie-Luka combination was probably a mistake and that Dallas would of been better off trading for a superstar to pair with Luka in another position and have the 2 guard spot be filled by a better off ball player/defender, still even after the multiple years of GM mismanagement Luka has been able to carry this team but they prob would be able to compete for a chip this year if they traded for someone else than Kyrie
Mavs are my second team behind the pelicans. I like luka and I like how Kyrie stood his ground with the so called Vax.
Work for a championship. And they are not going to do that no matter how great those two are
Luka should be the MVP. NUMBER 1 in scoring, second in assist, second in 3 points. Jokic is not even close to Luka stats.
jokic has better advanced metrics, but in all honestly it's a 2 man race, and they tried to pigeonhole Tatum and SGA even as SGA has had the worst month of his season when it matters most.
Kenny Smith is NOT a legend 🤣🤣🤣
I have to disagree. He is a legendary bench warmer/water boy.
Smoothness was Larry Bird's chief weapon in his 3x mvp
There are plenty of other guys who can score. No team has stopped both Luka and Kyrie. They usually don’t slow down either.
How the hell can u stop either Luka or Kyrie, let alone both of them at the same time?
Kai is freakin maestro, his game is so smooth that he should be in mvp race if that is the rating to go by 😅
Kenny Smith just trying to make headline
Well, he’s a racist.
Thanks man as mavs fan most of us just laugh at this😂😂
I just hope we get okc in the second round so Luka can cook SGA
@icel7858 for sure man ion really trust the thunder I think LAL and GSW can beat em
It's becoming increasingly obvious that the media is ignoring the fact Luka is the mvp
They're scared age by age he's the goat
American NBA players are not as good as advertised nowadays. International NBA players has surpassed American Basketball.
Nope and that will never happen. But keep wishing.
@@buckisz The two best players in the world are not American and we are a couple years away from another European being the best player in Wemby.
@@robertdouth8979 According to who? You? lol
Love it man! Every point u hit on as pretty much every point u have ever made is valid! The media is racist sometimes towards white dudes in NBA!
Lou Williams is also tripping, I cannot imagine how can you guard Luka and Kai by taking away all their comfort zones... You need to double team them if you want to make uncomfortable for them...hahahaha
If Luka had "sunbathed" a little more, he would have been MVP last year and this year
Remember they tried shoving curry 1st team last year but never luka throughout his career lol
What a breakdown - well done!👍🏾🙌🏾!
Imagine the finals are Mavs/Nuggets - Bucks. Already know now that for Kenny, Stephen A. & Co. the finals MVP will be Kyrie, Murray or Lillard :D
Nah Murray's Canadian, they'll vote for Aaron Gordon

Hmmmm....what's decaying is how difficult their jobs are getting. There's more trash now than ever. I wouldn't want to be a cop ...no rights to even do your job now. It's changed drastically over the last 40/50 years.

@MS-ns2pj respect. Like I said, cops rights are basically gone now. And society has become trash. I couldn't imagine trying to deal with criminals who feel free to do whatever they want because they have more rights and have no respect for cops. They talk back to police like they are garbage.
To put into context, if you go back to the 60s when somebody underage was on the streets at night a cop was allowed to stop them and ask what they were doing. It was flat out illegal after a certain time for a minor to be out alone. See someone who looks obviously suspicious? Now you can't say anything because you might he racial profiling.
All we're used to seeing is stupid youtube videos of a few Select cops who are bad apples and then the entire police force is disrespected and demonized because of it. I am not a cop or know anybody that is.

I can see Kenny's point, he named two guards from the top 3 teams.. that makes a lot more sense than a player outside the top 3, considering Ant and Shay are the top players for those teams.
Lmao! PHX has Beal as the 3rd guy, how is that worked out? Luka & Kyrie won’t be stopped, and it’s a team game anyway! Modern Sports Media is absolutely embarrassing!!!
To be fair saying that he showed a lot of smoothness is at least more honest as former takes like that Shai gets his team mates more involved, etc. Now they openly show that they are just making up some fantasy stuff because they just want to vote for Shai.
Real basketball fans who support great athletes regardless of their race or national origin must boycott the racists at ESPN, TNT, and Fox Sports. BUT Don’t be fooled. This Luka hatred is coming straight from the top of the NBA who doesn’t want a White European to be the face of the league. Europeans must boycott the NBA.

I can hardly wait for this first round. Clippers haven’t seen this squad yet. I’m here for all of it! #MFFL
I can't even take these guys seriously anymore. They make comments without watching games, they are clearly not watching
Yeah Shaq is 100% not watching games. He is just there to be "funny big guy". But it gets boring.
This is another example of why college basketball is getting better ratings than the Woke NBA, which has lost more than half of its fans since the MJ heyday in the ‘90s.
It's more important to try your best to win games. It doesn't matter what the talking heads in the media say or think. There's always going to be haters
Best basketball youtuber out there bruh, these nba legends hating cuz Luka is white 🤣. That was the same with Jeremy Lin too. Melo jealous on Lin because he was Asian and getting a big contract.
What lou said.... about what your going to do if you make luka and kai uncomfortable, I'm sure thats exactly what clippers fans are banking on.
And I promise mavs fans who have watched the games are not worried about that.
"who they gonna swing it to?" Idk maybe 50% 3pt shooter Dante Exum. Maybe they could actually watch the games.
The biggest if in NBA history 😂 if you can make any of these guys uncomfortable. 😂
Dude said the answer in the clip and Lou Williams tried to act like he didn’t know what was being said… He said ‘If you trap Luka then you Ky gets a 1 on 1…. That’s it. That’s the answer. Sure, sometimes that’ll lead to a swing to an open three but Ky can smoke anyone in the world 1 on 1 and the Mavs will take that each and every time the clippers wanna give them that 🤷🏻♂️

SGA got back and had a game with
19 points 3 assists
40 points 20 FT 4 assists
26 points 5 assists
23 points 3 assists (7 of 21 fg)...
SO how is that enough to pass LUKA who had 5 wins 1 loss

I can, racism and xenophobia, simple as that man. The only reason Jokic 1# above SGA is due the fact that hes been putting up crazy stats, his team is top tier and have been winning a bunch and also won the championship last year.
