@@pauldack5129 They hate the Cowboys. They use them for ratings. The national media (mostly from the northeast) has always detested the Cowboys being called "America's Team" and the fact that they're from the South especially from Dallas makes it even worse to the media.
Forget "two". If you look at the top players according to the advanced stat PIE (Player Impact Estimate) there isn't a single American in the top 5 (Jokic, Doncic, Gilgeous-Alexander, Antetokounmpo, Sabonis) Now, two of those men are black, one European, one Canadian, but 3 out of the top 5 in probably the most important advanced stat being white Europeans definitely threatens some people. Pair that with USA's dismal international record of late, they're shaking in their boots that they might lose their game, and it shows.
@@jstucklessAbsolutely correct. They are doing anything they can to stop the international nba takeover. Unfortunately, young american players are too concerned with dunking and scoring that the other 80% of the game has gone missing
Brock Purdy gets the same treatment from everyone who covers the NFL. He'll never measure up to Mahomes and Lamar Jackson and Dak and Jordan Love and CJ Stroud for some reason. No idea what that reason could be though. 🤔
Luka’s 73 point game holds the record for the second highest Game Score of all time behind Jordan’s 69 point 18 rebound 4 steals game. It’s literally the best regular season performance we’ve seen since Jordan
Damn, I didn't know this. That's interesting. How was the score of the 60 point triple double that Luka got? I thought that would be the highest game score ever.
Bruh nobody really gives af about that. Larry Bird is one of the most iconic players in history. Not to mention Jerry West is the LOGO. Jason Williams a.k.a Whyte Chocolate, John Stockton, Dirk, Chris Mullen, the list could go on..c’mon homie.

Dude is on the verge of averaging a 37 point triple double for a season and he is still 5th in the mvp race. Can't wait till he finishes this season with that statline and Mavs end up with a better record than OKC had when Westbrook got his mvp even though it's way more competitive today. Let's not forget Mavs record of 3-5 as of now when Luka doesnt play and an entire month of missing his second star and most of his starters.

I remember back in the late 90s when Canadian hockey teams were consistently losing to Czech and Swedish teams the Canadians sports media was doing everything they could to attack their players and their style of play. 'They may be beating us, but we're still better!' Was the gist of it all, so it's certainly not unprecedented for analysts to get afraid that they're losing control of a sport.
They love Giannis. They love Embiid. They love Paskal Siakam, Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Kyrie Irving, Jamal Murray, Al Horford, Buddy Hield etc.
I remember Luka as a rookie said scoring in the NBA is easier than scoring in Europe. I did believe that because that was the first true season where scoring started getting out of control.
@@jimmy-rm3clwhich is a good thing. all the rule changes to help offense are just completely ignored by young fans. players have gotten better at shooting, that’s true. other than that, the rule changes account for the inflated stats. no more traveling, hand checking, offensive fouls… players are rewarded for flopping and getting in game-long debates with the refs. offensive players can do no wrong.
The 4 main reasons why it's harder to score in EU - smaller court which affects the amount of space you have to attack or defend - 8 minute shorter games - no 3 second paint rule - no hand check rule These alone make a huge difference. Maybe NBA is better, but euroleague is harder
Luka is currently 4th after Embiid is out of the race. But he will only go up if Dallas rises in the standing to maybe 5th or 4th in the West. All other MVP candidates are in the top 4 spots (Jokic, SGA, Giannis, Tatum).

The incosistency is the real tell. If Embiid got crapped on for his VASTLY less efficient 70pt game and then Luka also got crapped on for his 73pt game I'd be inclined to somewhat agree, would have never been a 73pt game 10+ years ago. HOWEVER they couldnt wait to get on their knees and slobber all over Embiids knob for the 70pt game which proves them to be massive hypocrites when they crap on Luka later. They clearly dont like White players or Europeans, Luka and Jokić are both so they get the worst of it but even Giannis gets constantly underrated...
Lebron KD Curry are all on their way out and clearly ESPN and NBA dont want a white guy like Jokic or Luka being the face of the league they rather gift it to someone like Shai Gileous who has a stacked OKC and somehow is top 2 in MVP
Imagine if the NBA did with baseball does and just set up camps across the world to find impoverished Superstars. MLB has a crazy amount of baseball camps in the Dominican molding young players living in the slums into future professional baseball players
Gee, why would he praise all those other guys but not Luka? They're all exactly the same. No noticeable differences that I can see. They play the same sport, they're all males, they're all tall, they're all the same rac..... Oh. I think I get it now.
Kukoc, Petrovic and Divac had similiar " problems" in the beginning, then they proved them all wrong... And Luka and Jokic are doing the same, even better as it seems and i LOVE it !!!
What was weird about it was that Luka’s 70 game was easily the most impressive 70 piece since Kobe’s 81. He did so on a whopping 76% from the field, he won with clutch buckets, and it wasn’t a bunch of free throws. He ended the game with like two or three straight and-one’s. He’s the one guy in the modern era that I’d trust could score 70 in any era 😂
Its ikay man luka has been doubted his whole career and he just makes the game look too easy he will get his props once he gets his chip #letsgomavs #41 thanks for the videos man they great luka the best ;)
People underestimate just how bad the Dallas roster is. That team sucks balls, except for Luka. Irving is good, don't get me wrong, but he's missed a lot of games, and it is Luka who is carrying the Mavs. So the NBA has a problem, because no way is Luka going to get MVP while his team is struggling just to make the playoffs, even though he may very well be the best player in the league this year. So yeah, they are downplaying him intentionally, I think.
@@H2HOtexlmao yeah right Dwight Powell? Maxxi Kleiber? Dante Exum who was just out the league? Luka is playing with guys who wouldnt even make the Wizards roster😂
I'll explain the hate for luka. there are 3 parts to it. 1) he plays the same position as LBJ, and is on pace to shatter every record LBJ holds. he has a higher scoring average, he scored more in his rookie year, he is a better playmaker, and a better rebounder. Luka is a mirror into the fraud that is LBJ's claim to the "crown". Because when this all settles out, the "king" will have luka, a guy who played as a contemporary in the "king's" era, who clowned him up one side and down the other. This type of hate for luka started at the end of his rookie year when they started to notice his numbers were better then LBJ's. It's the same type of hate Carmelo got when the media awarded James the rookie of the year trophy though Carmello had a better rookie year. Its the same reason nick wright has nothing but hate for Jokic. Because Jokic is a better player by every "advanced" metric nick wright loves to trot out to prove how good LBJ is. it undercuts his claims that LBJ is the greatest BB player to ever live, and as a result he's got to hate on Jokic 2) he's a white european; same type of hate that Jokic gets for this one. 3) he plays BB like an old 40yo at the YMCA. He's not flashy, he moves slowly, he's not explosive, crafty. He's the anti-hype bb star, and the nba is addicted to adrenaline. They know they can't sell a pudgy white european like the could sell Zion and his explosive dunks with a 300lb frame. Though by every metric luka is a far superior BB player to Zion, and no where near as fat, Zion can sell shoes.
How the hell is luka not exciting to watch? He carves up defenses like they are 10 year olds and orchestrates the offense like a puppet master. How the hell is that not exciting to watch?
The Magic explained: Luka: “Well, I’m already going slow, and when I’m tired I just go a little bit slower.” “Youreasickfuck” 73, soon to be his number 77 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rules went softer over the years. But that doesn’t mean offense quality this season isn‘t absolutely out of this world. It‘s second to none, we have NEVER seen quality like this, the numbers such as fgp don‘t lie
How many times do we have to say that black folks who is into sports does not like anyone else outside of their own skin. Its as simple as what the truth is.
If Luka averages 35 points and 10 assists this, he is responsible for 55 points a game on average... That is some wild numbers. SAS can hate all he wants.
@fanaticist notice Stephen A didn't had a problem with Lillard, Mitchell or Embiid's 70 pts game performances? But with Luka it was all criticism? Skin color, race, nationality?
I’m really glad I wasn’t the only one who felt that there was almost no validation of Lukas 73 just mere days after embid. The complete reticence from the wider media circles showed me something was up, but not sure how to explain it. Or maybe I knew but not allowed to say. And say what you want about Lukas game, and those that think he’s selfish- to me he looks like one of the only high profile dudes (curry/jokic maybe giannis included) that doesnt go hunting for stats. Luka plays to win, and if that means sometimes he’s gotta take more shots, so be it. He’s an absolute stud and the NBA should count themselves lucky they have another player with international/world wide spread appeal Great vid as always
These people make me smile to tears when they start to talk about Embiid as about some kind of an 👽 dude is bigger than othe players (that is pure physical atribute,not a knowledge about the game of basketball),he's flopping as f*** +getting a whistle if people only look at his direction,he's constantly injured,and the so-called experts still have the nerve to call him the prime candidate for the mvp award,,,,while you have the Joker-a man who is available every single night,doing insane things that no one at his position even think to do with a ball.And Jokić has won the chip,while Embiid chocked every time when it matter the most,and then do the most outrages thing after that moments-blaming his teammates for losing in the playoffs...come on man,,,,look up to Joker,the man elevates his game in the playoffs even more than during the regular season,that is what the greats do!!Peace out
I don't say this often, since I don't know shit about the us and racism and all that over there, but Stephen A Smith comes off as racist here and it's not the first time I had that impression now that I think about it

he forgot to use his white privilege. i remembered i had white privilege and i went from working pay check to pay check to being a state senator. he just needs to get good.
what Stephen smith doesn’t consider not only did Luka score 73pts he also had the highest shooting percentage from the field and from the 3 ptline in history. So his efficiency.

just the people in the media and some of the older players. kinda silly to say all black people are racist. white people get that bullshit all of the time. don’t be hypocritical.
Holly F... It's hard to watch "highlights" in today's NBA because all I see is players taking long LOOOOOOONG trips. Because all I see is traveling going on everywhere 🤔🤦♂️👍
But it's funny how Steven a Smith triggers losers like you. Living vicariously through europeans who don't give a shit about you? Run along now. Once Luka and Jokic are done. There won't be another great white player from Europe for decades
Come to think of it, when Luka cooked the Suns in that game 7, Steve A's reaction to that game had the same vibe too. He spent more time roasting the Suns than praising Luka.
Cornbread maxwell saud in an interview that black players couldn't admit to white players being better. That perception has never changed. I remember when Rodman said Bird would be an average player if he were black. Bird kicked Rodmans ass everytime they played against each other.
Now that Dallas added Gafford and PJ Washington, after witnessing the beatdown over a full OKC team, I'm sure this team will rise to top 3 in the west. Luka has been the best player after Embiid this year. Those who watch the games (or the highlights at least) know. And what I like is that Luka keeps playing without saying a word. Hope he wins it all one day and becomes this year's MVP.
At what point do we all admit it’s about race? It took jokic getting two mvp’s and a ring before he got a hint of respect and now Luka is one of the best players in the world and probably the best guard on this planet and he isn’t respected by the media whatsoever
Same happened when he destroyed the Suns and the media was only talking about how bad the suns choked. The reason the suns collpsed and he scores 73 on insane efficiency is that he is a different animal. He is the closest thing to MJ. Not is playstyle obviously but in terms of ability and confidence.
we all know the reason for the hate, same reason they robbed Jokic of his third MVP in a row last year.
Cause they aint brothas they are white boys. White boys cant jump. lol.🤔 I wonder if McClung will win again?

Huh? Everybody LOVED Ginobili, even the otherworldly, soccer-inspired flopping. Nobody hated him. Fun player to watch.
Stephen A Racist
💯💯💯
Just imagine had it been Anthony Edwards that had this game instead. ESPN and other media would be absolutely drooling over it.
Just imagine if it was Shai ESPN wouldve ran biographies and documentaries about it
Because he isn’t a “brotha”.
Sad but true 💯💯💯💯
Racism
Why does stephen a act like a sassy wine mom tho
Because he takes it up the pipe
Dude is a clown who thinks he has actual talent hes in Skip Bayless are of media personalities who have 0 credibility
Luka is white.
What was weird about it was that Luka’s 70 game was easily the most impressive 70 piece since Kobe’s 81. He did so on a whopping 76% from the field, he won with clutch buckets, and it wasn’t a bunch of free throws. He ended the game with like two or three straight and-one’s. He’s the one guy in the modern era that I’d trust could score 70 in any era 😂
4:25 WOJ looking around "is anybody goin' say something?"
ESPN graded Gafford C- and Washington a D! EXPERTS! 🤣🤣🤣
These same clowns have SGA at 2 and Luka at 5 in MVP ladder but Luka outplays SGA back to back games and hes only 4 now?😂
Someone needs to put SAS on his place. Need another Cuban vs ESPN debae
I agree, Fair is fair give Luka his flowers.
Oh wow. White guys can play...
And run...
And...
They can't jump though😢😢
Obviously he can if he can dunk.
@@JacksHardenedLiver
Luka's vertical, 42 inches.
Kobe Bryant - 38 Inches
@@JacksHardenedLiverspeak for yourself
Score as hell
We know why he gets singled out
Oh men that KAT sample vs Luka critique by SAS is atrocious.
Say it, man, just say it! We know you're thinking it.
What? You're bald?
SAS just doesnt have any clue about basketball
Its ikay man luka has been doubted his whole career and he just makes the game look too easy he will get his props once he gets his chip #letsgomavs #41 thanks for the videos man they great luka the best ;)
They hate Luka
Dude SAS is just an obnoxious, loudmouth, walking double standard.. it’s no surprise he’s constantly inconsistent. Great vid man.
People underestimate just how bad the Dallas roster is. That team sucks balls, except for Luka. Irving is good, don't get me wrong, but he's missed a lot of games, and it is Luka who is carrying the Mavs. So the NBA has a problem, because no way is Luka going to get MVP while his team is struggling just to make the playoffs, even though he may very well be the best player in the league this year. So yeah, they are downplaying him intentionally, I think.
@@footballfanboy9680 8th now bro but lot a games to play won there last 3
Bad roster ?? How bout now goober . They will probably finish no worse than a 3 seed if not #1 . Awful take dude
Hilarious. Roster is probably the best now after trade .
@@H2HOtexlmao yeah right Dwight Powell? Maxxi Kleiber? Dante Exum who was just out the league? Luka is playing with guys who wouldnt even make the Wizards roster😂
@@H2HOtexYou sticking by this, casual? They will be lucky to make the playoffs.
I'll explain the hate for luka. there are 3 parts to it.
1) he plays the same position as LBJ, and is on pace to shatter every record LBJ holds. he has a higher scoring average, he scored more in his rookie year, he is a better playmaker, and a better rebounder. Luka is a mirror into the fraud that is LBJ's claim to the "crown". Because when this all settles out, the "king" will have luka, a guy who played as a contemporary in the "king's" era, who clowned him up one side and down the other. This type of hate for luka started at the end of his rookie year when they started to notice his numbers were better then LBJ's. It's the same type of hate Carmelo got when the media awarded James the rookie of the year trophy though Carmello had a better rookie year. Its the same reason nick wright has nothing but hate for Jokic. Because Jokic is a better player by every "advanced" metric nick wright loves to trot out to prove how good LBJ is. it undercuts his claims that LBJ is the greatest BB player to ever live, and as a result he's got to hate on Jokic
2) he's a white european; same type of hate that Jokic gets for this one.
3) he plays BB like an old 40yo at the YMCA. He's not flashy, he moves slowly, he's not explosive, crafty. He's the anti-hype bb star, and the nba is addicted to adrenaline. They know they can't sell a pudgy white european like the could sell Zion and his explosive dunks with a 300lb frame. Though by every metric luka is a far superior BB player to Zion, and no where near as fat, Zion can sell shoes.
Fire take bro. 🫡🙏
How the hell is luka not exciting to watch? He carves up defenses like they are 10 year olds and orchestrates the offense like a puppet master. How the hell is that not exciting to watch?
Very deep, excellent comment brate...

@@catalogueboys2538 the average fan doesn't enjoy good basketball, he enjoys high flying dunks and flashy handles
hurts his pride, Luka wins by being smarter than all the blax.

The Magic explained:
Luka: “Well, I’m already going slow, and when I’m tired I just go a little bit slower.”
“Youreasickfuck”
73, soon to be his number 77
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rules went softer over the years. But that doesn’t mean offense quality this season isn‘t absolutely out of this world. It‘s second to none, we have NEVER seen quality like this, the numbers such as fgp don‘t lie
Racism has a face, ESPN likes to show it.
"Stephen A. Myth"
The better example, for me, is the contrast in reaction to Embiid’s 70-piece earlier *that week* lol.
Dame was 22-38 on FGs; Luka shot 25-33 -- Luka's 73 was all-time amazing performance
Luka is getting the same treatment Joker was getting until he won it all. But don't you dare call it **cism!
How many times do we have to say that black folks who is into sports does not like anyone else outside of their own skin.
Its as simple as what the truth is.
If Luka averages 35 points and 10 assists this, he is responsible for 55 points a game on average... That is some wild numbers. SAS can hate all he wants.
You speaking real facts-good job dude! Luka is amazing no doubt about that... much love.
Stephen A Smith just hating on Luka because of skin color and he's European
race* we are much more than a color
@fanaticist notice Stephen A didn't had a problem with Lillard, Mitchell or Embiid's 70 pts game performances? But with Luka it was all criticism? Skin color, race, nationality?
The league is making it extremely difficult to defend
I appreciate ya making a video like this. I tried my best to expose it as well
Gee I wonder what Luka and Jokic have in common to provoke such outward hatred, dismissal, and ignoring.
WHAT COULD IT BE?!
I’m really glad I wasn’t the only one who felt that there was almost no validation of Lukas 73 just mere days after embid. The complete reticence from the wider media circles showed me something was up, but not sure how to explain it. Or maybe I knew but not allowed to say.
And say what you want about Lukas game, and those that think he’s selfish- to me he looks like one of the only high profile dudes (curry/jokic maybe giannis included) that doesnt go hunting for stats. Luka plays to win, and if that means sometimes he’s gotta take more shots, so be it. He’s an absolute stud and the NBA should count themselves lucky they have another player with international/world wide spread appeal
Great vid as always
These people make me smile to tears when they start to talk about Embiid as about some kind of an 👽 dude is bigger than othe players (that is pure physical atribute,not a knowledge about the game of basketball),he's flopping as f*** +getting a whistle if people only look at his direction,he's constantly injured,and the so-called experts still have the nerve to call him the prime candidate for the mvp award,,,,while you have the Joker-a man who is available every single night,doing insane things that no one at his position even think to do with a ball.And Jokić has won the chip,while Embiid chocked every time when it matter the most,and then do the most outrages thing after that moments-blaming his teammates for losing in the playoffs...come on man,,,,look up to Joker,the man elevates his game in the playoffs even more than during the regular season,that is what the greats do!!Peace out
I don't say this often, since I don't know shit about the us and racism and all that over there, but Stephen A Smith comes off as racist here and it's not the first time I had that impression now that I think about it
cannot accept the fact that a pretty young man from Europe is better than almost all brothers in the League. FACTS!!
Stephen A lost his blackness to Max Kellerman, he is trying so hard to get it back.
I’m pretty sure Stephen a smith has said that he lifts up his black friends career wise to take the jobs of others
They hate Luka and Jokic because they are white! The very same way they did Bird back when he played and they Still hate Bird!
same with Eminem
They didnt start hating him untill Kyrie got there
Wooow the content is amazing....CHAPEOU🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩.....I really appreciate the sincerity and wholesomeness of your words..... I'm your subscriber and I could say qiute frash😅😅 but anyway you've got some extra points for your honesty....... cheers from Portorose Slovenia ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Gee I wonder why this could be?
Why does Luka get singled put? Because he's white
he forgot to use his white privilege. i remembered i had white privilege and i went from working pay check to pay check to being a state senator. he just needs to get good.
As a black man, we know why lol.
what Stephen smith doesn’t consider not only did Luka score 73pts he also had the highest shooting percentage from the field and from the 3 ptline in history. So his efficiency.
The RATINGS are so low now because they NO LONGER PLAY actual basketball.
It's become a joke.
It's becouse NBA is woke.
it's also a propaganda outlet for the regime.
African Americans don't like Luka. They don't like Jokic. In the words of Kendrick Perkins, I'll let you figure out why.
I like both of them. What are you talking about?
@@JSUTrumpet Yeah I wouldn't lump fans in with the medias shit takes, Dallas has a huge black population and everyone there obviously loves Luka
One of your pink brethren gets what you perceive as discrimination and it's call for an uprising right? Someone of color gets discriminated against and it's race baiting in your eyes🤷🏾♂️😏 you guys are so delusional it's not even funny! Your pink privilege, and arrogance knows, no bounds!! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣
just the people in the media and some of the older players. kinda silly to say all black people are racist. white people get that bullshit all of the time. don’t be hypocritical.
I'm African American and I like watching both. Statement proven false.
Karl Towns scoring 58 in 3 quarters is a good example of why I don't care who scores what in today's NBA.
I just want Luka and Kyrie win a ring together...
Holly F... It's hard to watch "highlights" in today's NBA because all I see is players taking long LOOOOOOONG trips. Because all I see is traveling going on everywhere 🤔🤦♂️👍
I'm looking forward to European players taking over a majority of NBA roster spots.
Will never happen. We can literally see how trash Euroleague is in comparison. 2 great players=/=lots of europeans
But it's funny how Steven a Smith triggers losers like you. Living vicariously through europeans who don't give a shit about you? Run along now. Once Luka and Jokic are done. There won't be another great white player from Europe for decades
ESPN is always hating on Dallas! Every sport gets no respect.
Imagine how sports media reacted if it was kyrie instead of luka now all of a sudden that luka put up 73 scoring that much ain’t fun anymore 😂
I gotta give Luka credit for not talking shit about the Mavs because boy that franchise is incompetent.
Stephen A Smith 1,5 point in one game is impresive....73 points from Luka is not so...lol
Come to think of it, when Luka cooked the Suns in that game 7, Steve A's reaction to that game had the same vibe too. He spent more time roasting the Suns than praising Luka.
Completely agree. He'll disparage Luka no matter what spectacular thing he does on the basketball court.
Stephen a is the same guy who said Shohei Ohtani was bad for the game of baseball. Are we really shocked that he hates on any race that isnt his?
Cornbread maxwell saud in an interview that black players couldn't admit to white players being better. That perception has never changed. I remember when Rodman said Bird would be an average player if he were black. Bird kicked Rodmans ass everytime they played against each other.
Now that Dallas added Gafford and PJ Washington, after witnessing the beatdown over a full OKC team, I'm sure this team will rise to top 3 in the west.
Luka has been the best player after Embiid this year.
Those who watch the games (or the highlights at least) know.
And what I like is that Luka keeps playing without saying a word.
Hope he wins it all one day and becomes this year's MVP.
ESPN will never have serious basketball coverage as long as SAS is their flagship personality
Eventually, the ones that don't vote Luka for MVP this year will feel stupid.
At what point do we all admit it’s about race? It took jokic getting two mvp’s and a ring before he got a hint of respect and now Luka is one of the best players in the world and probably the best guard on this planet and he isn’t respected by the media whatsoever
These so called sports analysts thinks they are that all knowing gods of sports when in reality they all talk trash😂😂😂
What is the name of the music in the background?
Let the game speak for itself!
They can talk all day, but in the end everybody can see with their own eyes who really is the MVP
Same happened when he destroyed the Suns and the media was only talking about how bad the suns choked. The reason the suns collpsed and he scores 73 on insane efficiency is that he is a different animal. He is the closest thing to MJ. Not is playstyle obviously but in terms of ability and confidence.
Until Stephanie scores 1 point in the WNBA or any other Pro sport, his opinion has no merit
It’s cuz he’s where they were literally praising embiids free throw shooting contest 2 weeks prior
It is normal that they trashed Luka D.!
Because Luka is bringing crazy numbers all night and they NBA favourites are always on the background 😂😂😂😂😂
