Warriors will close out the mavs easily…from there I think Boston will be able to close out Miami…dubs in 6 in the finals

Luka highkey annoying


I would say this, watching Luka play on television doesn't do him justice. What I mean is I went to a lot of Mavs games this season.

And I have NEVER seen a basketball player rather its middle school, JV, VARSITY, JUCO, D1-D3, NBA that cries and complains more than Luka. It's so annoying, like he stops and doesn't even run back on defense because he's always screaming at the refs, even going into halftime at games he does it. You can see it more in person when you can solely focus on him.

A lot fans at games scream at him and complain about the same thing. Also White America will take a win anyway they can get. Even though Luka is not american born some are trying to go with the narrative that he's the "New Larry Bird", I find it even more insulting that a Old Head like Shannon Sharpe calls him "baby bird".

Larry Bird was a DOG, and played great defense and way more than just a scorer. Luka has miles to go before that comparison is even negotiable in my book. People really need to really go back and watch Bird play.

It's just hard to be a Luka fan because he's so annoying. Yes he's gifted on offense. But he needs to hire a nutritionist this offseason and get in shape.

Luka been playing pro ball since he was a kid so he believes that now that he's made it to the NBA and is a superstar, he should get superstar calls.

The numbers look good and he's young but...I think he's gonna find that the refs will grow tired of him the same way they grew tired of Carmelo

man why do some black people do this..... It's like every time there is a gifted white athlete in a primary black sport, some of yall take it as a threat or think the media is trying to push some "great white hope". Luka is just a gifted basketball player, he's made all nba 3 out of his first 4 years, that's not a narrative push that's a testament to his skill

i seen the reactions when Fury beat Wilder, these reactions towards Luka and Jokic sometimes just scream insecurity to me

Man what are you babbling about?

It has NOTHING do with insecurity on my behalf. If you think America doesn't want a great white hype then you're just being obtuse.

no because even most white American fans tend to like the more athletic players which tend to be black. The media was pushing Ja much more than Luka this year

About the warriors. They can't beat the 96 bulls, 2001 lakers, etc. Not really a goat team. They were good for their era because they brought a new style. Since then all other teams have caught up. They'll never dominate again like they did in the mid 2000s, especially without a Durant caliber player. If the 96 bulls, etc. know their style and can prepare, they'll win in 4.
