Luka is too "European", like Larry Bird. If Jordan had been European, then his Championships would be down too Pippen and Rodman. Without them he'd have been top 6. lol
Can we just say it out loud? They don't want a white euro player being the best in the league. That's their issue with Jokic, and that's their issue with Luka. I'm black. I can see all the passive aggressive racism going on here. That's why they tried to push ant as the new face of the league.

My man Luka is so inspirational and the most tolerant white person from Europe. Came to America and adopted two black kids in the name of Anthony and Devin. What a story!
I starting watch the NBA because of Luka. The ego, discrimination and bias of this guy's it's just insane. It's 3-0 and instead of giving props to the Mavs they are trying to find excuses for the wolf's. It's just mind blowing
And nobody even mentioned, how great lately Luka is in defence. 5 Steals last game, and his shaking head in the direction of Minnesota bench, when he posted Gobert and steal him ball. Just wow. This guy got balls.
I’ve watched Luka play since he was about 16 as he played with one of my ex-teammates in Madrid. This kid made grown men, the best players in Europe, look like trash at 17. He was the best player on the floor but also the nastiest competitor I have seen since Kobe. I had to pinch myself when they picked him #3. Soon, everybody will know.
This is where they make it so obvious. Minnesota is asking a 7 footer to guard Luka on the perimeter in way too many situations, and of course Luka is dominating the matchup. NBA media were trying to crown Ant as the new face of the league, but the reality is that Luka has been THAT guy for a couple years now. Ant has been sub-par in the 3 games so far, so they've shifted to blaming Rudy for everything when no big man can defend Luka
@@bigbrytunney8753No small man can defend him either. As a 6'7" guard he just shoots over them. He is very strong as well and plays bully ball with the smalls to get to his spot.

It’s eerily similar to how the media was treating Dallas in 2011. Most didn’t think we’d get outta the 1st Round, but now we’re 1 win away from the Finals!
In over three decades of watching the NBA, I have never been more hyped for a player entering the league than Luka. I was blown away by how good he was when I first saw him. I told my brother right away that this guy was going to be a top player in the NBA. I still remember guys like Gilbert Arenas saying back then that they didn't think his game would translate to the NBA. Arenas has since totally changed his tune, similar to Sephen A. Smith and others. The only player who intrigued me close to as much as Luka before he entered the league was Derrick Rose.
@@VeteranVandal Luca has also gotten a lot better this season especially when it comes to mental maturity and not complain to the refs all the time. So he was already great but even better this season.
Media did the same thing last year to Denver and Joker...it's Dallas and Lukas turn this year....and it s a darn shame....when will the media get into X and O's and talk about what actually happened and stop with the pontificating, obscuration and slander?
Even if Luka, Joker, Giannis wins multiple titles in 10 years, SAS and NBA media will shrug them off... If you ain't *black* or *American* you will never be the Face of The League.
Only player that has more PPG in playoff history than Luka is Michael Jordan. I think that says enough. Them pushing Ant is the same thing they did with Ja...and now he is nowhere to be seen. He will never go down as a great, Luka will. I remember Kobe and MJ interactions with Luka...greatnes recongizes greatness. Edwards is just overhyped imo... None of these experts managed to explain to me how a slow white guy is cooking all of these generational talents and ballers. How...SAS, Perk, Rivers...Explain it to us, come on
They hate Luka and Joker cause they go against every narrative that guys have been pushing for years. How players of the past are too slow and not athletic enough to hang with the modern player. Then Joker wins a championship despite not being able to out jump my granny, and Luka terrorizing supposedly elite defenders on one leg. In this era of non-handchecking. You can't stop these guys from getting to their spots. Kyrie and Luka in the 4th quarter.... will always give you a chance to win against anyone.
Media talking heads keep saying "can you trust them" in regards to the Mavs .. Think Basketball fans can't trust the media talking heads when it comes to the Mavs .. They've been wrong at every turn ..
It's the same shit as last year except instead of the Heat it's the Mavs this time. I dont think they actually even watch the games. My Detroit Pistons won a championship in 2004 while dealing with this sort of media treatment. Good players and teams thrive off of this sort of underdog attitude, so let's hope they can actually bring it to this Celtics team as well.
Let be honest it's the exact same thing that happened in the Denver-LA series. Dallas gets whatever they want in the last 5 minutes, and Wolves can not do anything. Minnesota was built to be Denver. That was the only thing on the mind of the organization and it's backfired
I think nobody expected them to be inept at beating Dallas. And, like Denver had with Porter, Minnessota is having problems with Kat. Too much bricking.
I'm super excited for the next game. I love your point about Luka and Kyrie being the best closers. I'm reminded how Kyrie is 14-0 in close out games. I think it's going to be intense!
These clowns are so desperate to have an American superstar. Most of the NBA superstars right now are foreign. There was no american players at the MVP race this season.
Ant not better the Luka in his dreams the nba is a perfect reflection of America right now nobody wants to do the work but be givin all the glory do none of the work but reap all the rewards its really sad and the ppl who do deserve the praise and the glory are always over looked (not just talkn about about basketball in life in general)
I heard Collin on the radio this morning and he couldn’t give Kyrie credit without calling him “moody” and so on… talk about what he’s doing on the court!
The so called professional analysts in ESPN seemed to forgot that clutch is an important factor in a best of seven games series. And right now, Mavs rank at the top when it comes to clutch win percentage.
Timberwolves had the DPOY, 6th Man of the Year, all defensive team guard, an all NBA player who is “the next MJ”, and what’s considered the best 3pt shooting big man in basketball, and still couldn’t beat a 5th seed Mavs. I think Luka and Kyrie deserve all the love and Jason Kidd deserves his flowers too… but the Timberwolves had a golden chance to make it to the Finals and have blown it
Tbh the reason they're just 5th seed is because they only got Gafford and Lively post-trade deadline. The seeding doesn't entirely show how good the team is. Besides, the West standings aren't too far apart.
“They didn’t give Luka and kyrie credit and instead blamed it on the supporting cast” They did the same thing when Luka scored 73 points this season. Embiid scores 70 and the media praises him (even when a majority of those points were Frethrows). But when Luka scored 73, instead of giving Luka his flowers, all ESPN talked about was how “bad the Hawks defense was” during the game and how embarrassing it was to watch. Like BRUH
What's crazy is very few of those 73 points were uncontested. Single digit win with 73 points. Embiid was going for the stats, Luka was going for the w. Hate on Luka is real real.
Every single year without fail the media will prop up a black "new star" to rival luka and Jokic. In Luka's career - Zion - Ja - Tatum - Booker - Ant edwards - Sga - Now brunson. Then for Jokic: - Embiid. - AD - Wemby will be next. But it simply takes one season for Luka and Jokic to expose them. When their careers are over, we gonna have receipts for every single year.
Wonder how perkins is still getting to talk on TV. Dude is so out of touch when it comes to predictions and his opinion. And the disrespect Kyrie gets is absurd esp by that clown of SAS.
The media will never give Kyrie or Luka credit. They did the same to Dirk in 2011. Even before his title win the media considered him a choker.

They hate Luka and Joker cause they go against every narrative that guys have been pushing for years. How players of the past are too slow and not athletic enough to hang with the modern player. Then Joker wins a championship despite not being able to out jump my granny, and Luka terrorizing supposedly elite defenders on one leg. In this era of non-handchecking. You can't stop these guys from getting to their spots. Kyrie and Luka in the 4th quarter.... will always give you a chance to win against anyone.
Media talking heads keep saying "can you trust them" in regards to the Mavs .. Think Basketball fans can't trust the media talking heads when it comes to the Mavs .. They've been wrong at every turn ..
It's the same shit as last year except instead of the Heat it's the Mavs this time. I dont think they actually even watch the games. My Detroit Pistons won a championship in 2004 while dealing with this sort of media treatment. Good players and teams thrive off of this sort of underdog attitude, so let's hope they can actually bring it to this Celtics team as well.
Doncic and Jokic have adopted all these homegrown athletes like Booker , morant and now Jordan jr
That ain’t no Jordan jr tho
Finally, the media gets humbled over this turd of a narrative that Ant was even close to being great, let alone MJ's son.
Let be honest it's the exact same thing that happened in the Denver-LA series. Dallas gets whatever they want in the last 5 minutes, and Wolves can not do anything. Minnesota was built to be Denver. That was the only thing on the mind of the organization and it's backfired
I think nobody expected them to be inept at beating Dallas. And, like Denver had with Porter, Minnessota is having problems with Kat. Too much bricking.
ESPN just be hating on Luka. The fans knows Luka the best but The media want give him credit except for Tim, Chuck and Richardson.
Plot Twist: they all betted Dallas to win it all. No way these fools are this clueless.
they prefer a young black guy to win aka Anthony Edwards. 😂😂😂
I'm super excited for the next game. I love your point about Luka and Kyrie being the best closers. I'm reminded how Kyrie is 14-0 in close out games. I think it's going to be intense!
These clowns are so desperate to have an American superstar. Most of the NBA superstars right now are foreign. There was no american players at the MVP race this season.
im not the only one who thought Luka was the clear MVP this season, right?
Thos is it. A very objective analysis of the great duo. The talking heads at ESPN could watch and learn how you do it! Keep up the good work!
Luka destroying all the “faces of the nba”.
We have enough evidence to confidently say, ESPN "analysts" be guessing and making outlandish predictions
Ant not better the Luka in his dreams the nba is a perfect reflection of America right now nobody wants to do the work but be givin all the glory do none of the work but reap all the rewards its really sad and the ppl who do deserve the praise and the glory are always over looked (not just talkn about about basketball in life in general)
Bro what the fuck are you saying what does that extra part have to do with any and Luka?😂😂😂
At 2:26, look at everyone’s face and demeanor. They know KP tripping leaving Luka off.
Luka and Kyrie are unorthodox to their approach of the game. They can get their shot/layup from anywhere on the court
Luka shouldve got mvp this season
As an OKC fan I really wanted OKC to win. However I hope Luka and the Mavericks win the NBA Finals
Shai actually shoved us how good he is.
Much better than Edwards.
Luka.makes me proud to be a Slovenian. Unlike our politicians. Let's get that title. #PRAVIMVP
Justin Jefferson said that Luka is the best player in this series. And he said it before the series. Some media peoole have at least some common sense
People on tv don’t know any better than who is off tv
If Luka wins, is he the best Maverick ever?
He'd be tied with Dirk should that happen.
To get over him he would probably need 2 championships or 1 championship and 1 mvp to be better
No he have to win 2 and on top of that, the way dirk won his championship was Legendary....
No. He has to win 2. Dirks career was so long and his championship was legendary.
Dirk had the tougher run. Also, Dirk has an MVP so even if Luka wins the finals this year, I would still say he is second to Dirk.
History repeats itself. First Dirk and the Mavs get voted to be first to be eliminated. Now Luka and Kyrie are counted out.
The Minnesota lakers about to get swept 💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Finally, a hoops talk channel with some intelligence and humility. You are the best, on par w Zach Lowe. Keep going dude, you've got "it."
Yes dallas guards are doing well, but they also wouldn't be anywhere without Lively and Gafford. The bigs have been amazing.
That’s why it’s a team sport 😂
Luka is the best offensive player period .and he is defending to theres no comparison
When you can travel, the game is not comparable to any other era, ever. With that said, Luka is sick.
I’m so glad you did this video!!! Props to you brother! 🔥
ESPN be on some BS
I heard Collin on the radio this morning and he couldn’t give Kyrie credit without calling him “moody” and so on… talk about what he’s doing on the court!
Do i need to reiterate what Kobe said? I think i do. ESPN is full of idiots.
I still remember when i thought it might not work out to have Kyrie on the Mavs.
Now Kyrie and Luka are an insane duo. Their chemistry is gold.
Love the content keep speaking the truth dont let the greats fade in to the pass
The so called professional analysts in ESPN seemed to forgot that clutch is an important factor in a best of seven games series. And right now, Mavs rank at the top when it comes to clutch win percentage.
Asking if you can trust Luka basically exposes you for never watching Luka
Timberwolves had the DPOY, 6th Man of the Year, all defensive team guard, an all NBA player who is “the next MJ”, and what’s considered the best 3pt shooting big man in basketball, and still couldn’t beat a 5th seed Mavs. I think Luka and Kyrie deserve all the love and Jason Kidd deserves his flowers too… but the Timberwolves had a golden chance to make it to the Finals and have blown it
Tbh the reason they're just 5th seed is because they only got Gafford and Lively post-trade deadline. The seeding doesn't entirely show how good the team is. Besides, the West standings aren't too far apart.
Jokic was the best player last series by far
“They didn’t give Luka and kyrie credit and instead blamed it on the supporting cast”
They did the same thing when Luka scored 73 points this season. Embiid scores 70 and the media praises him (even when a majority of those points were Frethrows). But when Luka scored 73, instead of giving Luka his flowers, all ESPN talked about was how “bad the Hawks defense was” during the game and how embarrassing it was to watch. Like BRUH
👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯
What's crazy is very few of those 73 points were uncontested. Single digit win with 73 points. Embiid was going for the stats, Luka was going for the w. Hate on Luka is real real.
Luka is BBQ in Minnesota
"4 GAMES ABOVE 50% AHOOTING"!!!! LETS FG!!!! 😆
Hahaha this NBA MEDIA is talking nonsense😜 Luka is cooking them Bigtime🤣🤣🤣
I'll say this for ESPN - they've got enough clowns for their very own three ring circus!
How these racists react after dallas winning the champ will be absolutely fun to watch
I love how that reporter on the far right is trying to pull off Zoolander's 'blue steel' look! 😗
Legler and Jefferson believes in Luka
Every single year without fail the media will prop up a black "new star" to rival luka and Jokic.
In Luka's career
- Zion
- Ja
- Tatum
- Booker
- Ant edwards
- Sga
- Now brunson.
Then for Jokic:
- Embiid.
- AD
- Wemby will be next.
But it simply takes one season for Luka and Jokic to expose them. When their careers are over, we gonna have receipts for every single year.
Wonder how perkins is still getting to talk on TV. Dude is so out of touch when it comes to predictions and his opinion. And the disrespect Kyrie gets is absurd esp by that clown of SAS.
i’ve been saying luka has top 10 potential ever since 2022
The woke nba media don't want to give the straight white man credit
Are you serious? They would crucify a gay White guy or a gay Black guy. Bigotry runs wide.
They would vilify and make cornball jokes about a gay White player or a gay Black player. Your whining for straight guys is misplaced.
And let’s see who deletes this because it hurts their feelings 💧😂
As a Kendrick and Mavs fan, this year has been nothing but Ws
