I had Luka as clear top 5 before the season but gotta drop him
Top 5 players don't miss the playoffs/play-in when there's 10 fukking spots in a conference

I can't believe he rolled with what they did tonight. I can't imagine LeBron, Kobe or Jordan ever agreeing to some shyt like that and being okay with it.

He's clearly behind Embiid Giannis and Jokic. After that it kinda just depends on what you're measuring; i.e. i don't think Luka is better at basketball than LeBron, KD, Steph, Kawhi, etc. but i felt those guys would simply be too old/injury prone in 2023 to be as proficient as him over 82 games. Ironically, Luka isn't an ironman himself and only plays 65 games a year.

More to your point: Hardaway Sr be making life difficult for his son talkin reckless lol but those narrative talkin points (not a leader, a crybaby, doesn't lead by example, no defense, etc), get raised when ppl see you "fail" to win 39 games and can't blame your star sidekick. I mentioned before whatever criticism comes his way wouldn't be completely fair but it never was for past players nor will be for future players. Hell, It wasn't fair to give him all the credit for last year's miraculous playoff run.
