Suck it S.A.S. Luka is the face of the NBA and better than Ant and Shai.
luka is nice but beware of tatum
It's close with sga rn, but I will take luka because of longevity at the highest level. Sga did outplayed him in the last series tho, dont deny it. Jokic, giannas at thier best could also be better than luka.
@@thialhoinj1971 LOL, who is Sga making better? Luka can also play just for himself if he wants and he proved to you all with scoring 73 and Sga can only dream about it even if he never passes the ball. And by the way...giannas is not basketball player...he cannot shot, he cannot dribble, he cannot pass, he cannot hit a free throw...he is just a strong athletic that can run the floor and dunk IF YOU FREE HIM THE LANE, if not...ask the Greek national team
lMAO switch luka and tatum and celtics would have had a dynasty already and mavs would be a playin team if that@@kalyankonduru5831
Stop it u sound corny
ESPN doing their best to help their face of the league get a win.
They have no control over that.
Yes everything 😂😂😂😂
It's not gonna work social media standing on business
@@ClaxtonBay123 oh they absolutely do,be honest would espn rather have "the face of the nba" be the black kid that looks like michael jordan and gets posterizers every other game or the european white kid who can't jump even though he's obviously much more talented
Why can't a player from Europe be the face of the NBA? That is racist. Giannis, Nikola, Luka?
It’s always about how can timberwolves can win and not how good the mavericks are playing
constantly
If Naz Reid's shot rattles in instead of rimming out, we're having a very different conversation right now. The margins are that fine.
@@dentonyoung4314 Too many ifs. If the Mavs stop missing threes it wont matter.
@@dentonyoung4314 yh but it didn’t tho
Exactly!
SAS hates Luka so much that he makes these absurd takes. Luka Dončić this season and he has taken two completely different teams to the Conference Finals in 3 years:
• 34/9/10
• 1st in points
• 2nd in assists
• 73 point game (4th highest ever)
• First 33/9/9 season in NBA history
• Most 30-PT TD’s since MVP Russ
• 1st in 25-point games
• 1st in 35-point games
• 1st in 40-point games
• 1st in 45-point games
• 2nd in 3’s made
• Top 10 in steals
• 61.7% TS
• Highest scoring season in Mavs history
• Most PPG + RPG + APG since the merger.
• Most consecutive 25 point triple-doubles ever
• Most consecutive 30 point triple-doubles ever
• Lifted Mavs from 11 seed to 5 seed
• Most games missed by teammates among all playoff teams
• Mavs 50+ wins
• Mavs 1st in clutch win%
• 6th best record in entire NBA
Thanks for facts. Stephen A Smith should just straight up retire. Joke
i agree 100%. There should be fines put out for takes like this guy has on national TV. Iz is like dosctors doing operations on live patients. He is a voice and is hating on a superstat guy and poisoning minds of people who just watch recaps of games... He is doing his job wrong and should be punished for it.
PS: Brunson > Luka for NBA 1st team is in the same sphere as IGUDALA over STEPH XD and look what that take did to MAX
@@anzeozimek Yeah i remember that take, Aliens about to take the world and i get to choose one player to hit a shot "I'm going with IGUDALA" 🤣🤣
Wilt still better than Luka
Thank you for putting in the effort to lay out all the facts, to make SAS bias painfully obvious.
He has admitted to having personal beef with Kyrie, they won’t even speak to each other, yet he doesn’t hesitate to give Kyrie his flowers when called upon because “he’s a professional.” So why is it so hard to praise Luka then? I wonder 🤔
SAS and ESPN are doing everything in their power to not make Luka and Jokic the face of the league 🤣🤣🤣
Joker is overrated Luka the real deal
@@stanleyterrell717 No, its between Luka and Jokic nobody else is even close.
They are paid messengers. It's the league that is driving the narrative
@@djkido316 Jokic is the best player in the league and deserves his MVPs but when it comes to the face of the league he doesn't want that attention. He doesn't care about publicity and stardom and his game is predicated on fundamentals and making the right play ( a much better Tim Duncan if you will) , so that discounts him. Luka however has the game, swag, likeability and polarity( loves trolling opposing fans) that definitely qualifies him to be the ' next face of the league' and ESPN and more specifically SAS doesn't want that.
@@stanleyterrell717antman is the real overrated. Cat even see the “defense” they talkin about
Espn mj going to get swept
Jordan got swept twice
@@DylGonZonot when he was the “clear favourite “ by the media. The only ones that were thinking we could take this was Dallas fans
MJ? Marcus Jordan maybe
@@DylGonZoAnt has a team a very good team MJ was a 23 year old with a squad full of bums playing the future champions
I hope so.
"total of 4 points" is the new Lakers "moral victory", it doesn't matter if you lose by 1 or 50, it shows up as the same 0-2
I think losing 1-3 points do much more mental damage than losing 10+ points , because you're gonna keep thinking of possible things that you could do to win that match . . Losing 10+ in match , you could easily accept that . .
@@romeocortez3419 yeah, but bluds point is that noone remembers the best "almost winning" team
3-0 now lol
Luka is easily the best player in the league who shows up EVERY SINGLE NIGHT WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT but let's talk about the losers.
ESPN will never talk about how Mavs are doing , only what the TWolves can do better
That's because the series isn't over. to talk about how Dallas is doing would be pointless as they're already proving what they're doing. Knowing that Minnesota is a great team. for them to lose two of their home games, especially the fact that they were closed is something to talk about.
Margins in a series like this are so fine. If Naz Reid's shot rattles in instead of rimming out, people would be talking about how this one is going 7. What we have here is two very closely matched teams and Dallas has won both the first two coin flips.
People don't understand how often in a relatively short series a sweep can happen by chance. If you have two teams that no matter where they play are absolutely evenly matched, so the probabilities of either team winning are exactly 50% in any game no matter where they play or what the circumstances are, the series will end in a 4-0 sweep more than 10% of the time.
Minnesota should be up 2-0
@@edikanakpan3696 Very true but the Mavs haven’t played their best and still took both games from the Wolves. That’s a topic to discuss as well. Just feels one sided from a media reporting perspective
Because Minnesota Timberwolves are that team idc what anybody say
"I dont care about this european kid" - Stephen A when Luka was about to get drafted
Luka is the face of the NBA for last 5 years and media don’t want that to happen
Stop crying smh. he wasn't face of the league until now because he hasn't reached the final or won any mvp in 6 years.
Last 5 years? So since he came into the league he’s been the face? Dumb.
Stupidity comment I ever reed
@@thialhoinj1971you’re the one crying
Yeah SAS doesn’t want a white man to be the face of the NBA
"upset the mavs"?
I thought your timberwolves are the favourites?
the momentum change, they win two game away, now if wolves win this series its gonna be an upset
@@abolutionmouv4194nope. Mavs is still the underdog. Every Mavs win against Timberwolves is an upset.
"You underrate the Mavs. I think their roster is very strong for their matchup against the Wolves
😂😂😂
@@notachef291You have to be joking
So, who’s next on the “face of the NBA” ladder? After Shai, Tatum, Embiid and now ANT-ESPNMJ just aren’t it (yet), and European white boys are veto’d by Stephen A? Who else we got?
Shai and luka are amazing
ESPN hates Tatum. It was always Shai, Embiid and ANT
WEMBY easy
@@WesJenkins518maybe Brunson next on their agenda then? Stephen already made some weird statements that he should be all nba 1st over Luka, so let’s see where this goes on ESPN.
as of right now its 1. Luka 2. Jokic 3. Giannis 4. Tatum 5. Shai 6. Ant, but Wemby has potential to be 1
Title should be, how can Mavs go up 3-0
but the first two games were close. and the Timberwolves are a great team. given the fact that Minnesota lost their first two games at home. The question rightfully should be "how will Minnesota respond? obviously.
@@edikanakpan3696 "Great" teams dont lose both home games as the favorite with homecourt advantage.
@@jeromec1983 *word if it were Dallas with the better seed and home court and lost them to the wolves, not only would the talking heads be drooling over Ant being the next MJ but they QUESTION the Mavs hard, and put HEAVY doubt on Luka and Kyrie's court relationship. Instead in this reality we get, "Props for Luka" && "AnT JuSt LoOkS TiReD" (NEVER QUESTION WHY EDWARDS IS OUT OF SHAPE IN THE PLAYOFFS)*
@@Falconfest No one brings that up. Ant was gassed in the 1st quarter on Friday.
@@jeromec1983 dude, im telling you. the media hates the Mavs but Luka in particular.
The way he reacts to luka getting 70 vs every other player to do it, is comedy
Mainstream media dislikes Texas teams.
and we all know why.
Except the Texans and Rangers
There you go! FINALLY people are figuring it out. All this bias towards all Texas teams is coming from all mainstream cable TV media which is centralized in NY and LA......wow what a surprise😅
* Southwest teams
No they hate all Dallas teams.
SAS hates Luka since before he was drafted, what is his issue?
Cause Luka's white.
Skin, Race, Nationality.
Because SAS is xenophobe, racist and a hater all at the same time.
Coz luka not a "brotha" so he cannot say "that brotha is special!"
He has been racist since forever
Why is everyone trying to find a way for the timberwolves to win 😂😂
And this Racist SAS had the audacity to say Brunson is more deserving of the 1st Nba team than Luka. Smh
oh how this aged so well 😂😂😂, dallas up 3-0
I get it that a “domestic product” is who you’d preferably want as the face of the NBA, however that shouldn’t determine the direction of the conversation, and who is in or out. Let the numbers and impact of the respective player(s) dictate it!
Americans don’t usually do that. Just look at the way Stephen A was badmouthing Ohtani
if twolves wins game 3 SAS would make an highly praise to twolves by stealing W from dallas but if the mavs win lets talk about minnesota's error and not credit mavs players/stars
This Stephen A Smith really hate Luka and the Mavs
Love how the media HATES the mavs. Also, love how the titles are ALWAYS "how can (opposing team) WIN".
Dallas literally younger than the timberwolves, this timberwolves younger narrative makes no sense, like OKC didn't, Mavs are just simply better than both, end of discussion go next.
One Leg Luka is way better than 22 year old new face of nba
Are they experts or Wolves Cheerleaders.. they are exposing their hate on European players …
SAS literally hates both Luka and Kyrie. This Mavs team is his worst nightmare
You asked the ultimate choker CP what the Wolves have to do in game 3 😂
right?! 😅
CP3. One of the most over rated in the history of the game.
SAS so desperate 😂😂😂
Ikr?
That Luka & Kyrie combo is crazy!
They also have good role players. They have a team.
About 99 percent of all broadcasters picked the wolves to win this series. Even though I think Dallas wins in 6, I really want them to get a sweep to really make them look stupid!
Mavs don't even have to wait for game 6.
SAS just mad that Dallas teams (besides Cowboys) are dominating all sports rn. Every team either won a chip in the last year or are getting close
Bought a black tent at walmart, but it folded and flopped as i walked past it. Now stephen a smith wanted to make it the mvp over luka and jokic. 🤣🤣 i bet he wants white house to be black house and ferrari’s color to be black 🤣
Stephen A the type of guy to think anyone driving a white car is racist 😂
hard team to root for cuz the media wrote hit pieces for the last 2-5 yrs in luka nd kyrie😂. ripbozos
I applaud the comments for realizing what the NBA has been doing for decades
NBA is changing what they dont want to be.
Why is more about the timberpups ???? Give mavs they credit
More like Miny Blunder Timberpuppies
Espn moral victory segment
Yo SAS. Your timberwolves are now close being timbersweep. Keep doubting Luka and the Mavs.
SAS the clown man😂😂😂
Finish it mavs then finish again in 4 so that pretemders in east wearing green are shaking
Racist SAS
If only Luka was born in Chicago to black parents....
Lmao SAS hates Luka. All of us Luka truthers just know ball. We don’t fall for the race hustling.
Luka doesn't deserve the all NBA nom right Steven A.
I trust Luka and Kyrie 👍
Dude is just running out ways to hate on luka
POV: When you have 0 ball knowledge so you pick for the man who’s black.
They really want the Wolves to win….😂😂😂
Racist A. Smith!
Just downvote video untill they appriciate Dallas and Kyrie&Luka!
We can always be sure that SAS will make stupid comments about Dallas. He is biased against Dallas SooooOOOoo much it's funny !
Losing 2 games back to back with 8 Vs 5, SAS still thinks he makes the right pick?
I swear if Luka carried his way like Tyler Herro, there would be no Luka hate. With that said, it’s tragic that ESPN and SAS looking dumb af for the continued Luka hate
Herro AAU prodigy, like all the other American players, he was built by the system. He grew up in American basketball culture, Luka, and them others outsiders. Only reason Joel gets love is that he got a bit of the culture coming to America. And so what they hating on Luka? Y'all didn't have a problem with them hating on LeBron for 20 years, just because he's better than Jordan?
Negative. Guys "like" Smith always talk about how Herro is overrated when he comes up. They prefer black players. Its that simple. Its ok though and its natural. People have a preference toward their own, regardless of what people want to pretend about race. Just like its no coincidence that White people love Luka and Jokic so much.
@@Musso88yea but that racist clown Stephanie A has a vote
And the fact that SAS had to mention the Cowboys in this is quite sad and pathetic. lol
The only person i respect on here is cp3. Tired of these non athletic mfs having dumb hot takes and no real analysis of the game.
That’s alright, this lack of appreciation is all fuel for Luka’s fire. He benefits from it.
So NOBODY of the MAIN ESPN CREW aiad anything about LUKA
Second Mavericks WCF in the last three season with two completely different TRADE DEADLINE teams led by the lion himself. Let that sink in ESPN sport entertainment analysts. Hey SAS, the players know, the whole world knows you can't stop greatness. It was just a matter of time before Mavs turn in to the juggernaut.
Face of the league about to go up 3-0 tonight
If a black man made that insane game winner SA would be going crazy. The fact he had no energy for Mavs game winner
What a great weekend of exciting games. Hope we get a 3rd great game Sunday night. My Knicks are at home so just looking for a great game
Diggs and Parsons were there for game 6 of the OKC series and it worked out just fine.
Stephen A should be sent fishing.
Luka and joker are the best players in the league and many people are upset that international players are dominating and are the face of the league - accept it folks.
First he said Booker was Kobe and then Ant is MJ. Max should take his basketball card away and should go to ESPN execs to not allow him to ever talk basketball again.
The very first play on game 2, when wolves called a timeout, after luka penetrated and got an alley opp explained the entire game.
Isn’t that because Conley got nobody to pass the ball to? Lol
Yes the only other player on that side of the floor was Kyrie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well this looked like a funeral where they're reminiscing the good times
The series is 100% over. The Mavs have managed to win both games shooting 25% from three while the Timberwolves have been shooting over 40%. The Mavs are going to blow the Timberwolves out at home.
Not yet if they win tonight then may have good chance of winning the series!
@@giffondhall9214 like I said, it’s over. The Mavs reverted back to a normal percentage from 3 and won by double digits. Good chance is not the correct statement. Considering teams up 3-0 are 154-0 I feel very comfortable saying it’s 100% over
@@RightStickRob well they still have to close out the series game 4 let's not get too cocky anything can happen in the nba like i said it ain't over til it's over!
@@giffondhall9214 you think they’re gonna be the one team in the history of the league to win four straight against the team they couldn’t beat once. You have to be a Minnesota fan. There is no way you really believe this. Minnesota might win game five. But they’re not beating Dallas four times in a row. They don’t have the personnel to stop Dallas. Jaden McDaniels is too late to affect Luka Dončić. Luka is only affected by strength. Length has never bothered him in his career. Kyrie is too dynamic of a three level score to be affected by Anthony Edwards. The problem Aunt is facing is that he is expected to be the number one option on offense, and then guard one of the hardest players in the league on defense. That typically never works because you’re exerting too much energy guarding Kyree, who is one of the shiftiest change of pace players in history. Kyrie and Luka don’t have that responsibility on the other end. They can throw very athletic win ant. Luca is the best three level playmaker, especially at the rim in the NBA. If Rudy steps up in the drop Luka is throwing the lob every single time. If he doesn’t, he’s killing them from the mid range. It is a horrible mismatch. There is no adjustment Minnesota can make. By the way, I’m not a fan of either team. I’m just a fan of basketball.
Espn should be ashamed to give SAS a platform for his ignorance
mavs are 2-0 and they still talking about what the Wolves didnt do is absurd, do they think we are dumb pushing every african american as the face of NBA. it s over ESPN Devin book is about to have a lil bro.
"Mavs were on Anthony Edward's heels like a pair of fresh church socks" 😂
It was nothing the Mavs did. Everyone waiting for Ant to decide, step up
@@ekisola17 it was a team effort bruh
@@ekisola17lol djj and PJ Washington is on his head can't step up if they won't let you sick of these excuses
@@raymondthomas1574
PJ ain’t even guarding him 🤡. You don’t even have any analysis. Learn what a Box in One is
Love that CP3 have some flowers to the Mavericks.
Everybody else against the Mavs.
Clear narrative in the NBA
I honestly think SAS is a bigger clown than Skip bruh😂
SAS biggest hater of Luka
It's always "what did the Wolves not do" or "what can the Wolves do?" but never apreciation for what the Mavs are doing or how they can close out.
Jason Kidd making all the great decisions.
How about letting Wilbon coach the Timberwolves?😂😂😂
The bias in most if not all nba sportsmedia these days is so annoying.especially when it comes to the mavs...rooting for each opponent vs dallas is realy hard to watch and i wish they would just talk about the good and ugly of the fn game.this has to stop and i just for that reason hope the mavs will crown over them all this year!
Wolves doing their best Nuggets impression, ya gotta do more than just show up
He wants Minnesota to win so bad
I think it’s disrespectful to Luka that ESPN and it’s people keep overlooking him and his achievements.
He’s better than most, accept that. He’s arguably the best player in this series.
SAS preparing them resignation joining him Perk and keyshawn. Them preparing their buddies' stay in Cancun.😂😂😂
they forget that PJ, DJJ and josh green shoot better at home
4:05 for 2 years, I hear this theme song. can someone give me the lyrics? I like the beat but don’t know what the words are. What language is this?
Wolves failed to capitalize on phenomenal efforts from their role players (Mcdaniels in Game 1 and Naz in Game 2) because their star players utterly failed to step up and uphold their side of the bargain. The games were only close because the Mavs' role players failed to hit the wide open chances from the 3 that Luka and Kyrie provided in abundance. I'm pretty sure the Mav's role players will start to hit their 3s. Not so sure if ANT and KAT will figure things out before it's too late. Series isn't over, but things look pretty bad for the Wolves.
Why ESPN talk so much about Minnesota and how they will win, not how good Dallas are? Give some credit to Dallas, they were 18pts behind in game 2 and managed to win it. Anything is possible, but I don't see Minnesota having the answers for Luka and Kyrie.
How does a 7 footer shoot 35%-38% over 2 games???
Its like the Woves are the USA and Dallas are a team outside of US lmao, hilarious stuff.
I don't know if any cowboys going to be at the game but Patrick Mahommes probably will
This is not a match up between Wolves and Mavs this is the match up ESPN against Mavs...
The amount of disrespect Mavericks and Luka get from them is Just crazy. Pure ignorance. Give them hell today Mavs! Let's goo!!! Greetings from Slovenia.
We should expect bogus takes from ESPN. They just ride the hype train and watch as their takes and favorite players fall apart😂
Stephen A asking cp3 about stars showing up in the playoffs 😂 😂 well played SAS
Well it’s now 3-0. Luka and Kyrie
Stephen A. Drop your sources. Isiah called you out right? Come on man.😂
Sas is a one trick poney. When in doubt, bring up the cowboys. There ya go. Straight class brother.
The key to beating the Mavs is not overreacting to Luka and kyrie, if you can do that you give yourself a chance to win.
0-2 Series is over. Let's start the Mav Celtic Finals. chop chop.
this is what it would look like if LBJ fights Mj in basketball.
Funny thing is the Mavs haven't played that well they just smarter
