Somebody made a highlight tape of Luka Doncic's NBA Finals defense. It's impressive.

[Rell84shots]

He's giving up as many points as he's contributing. No cap.

And the talk tomorrow will be all about Kyrie.

Luka might legit be the worst superstar defender I’ve ever seen

Worse than Harden.. at least he was a good post defender. Luka is a literal traffic cone out there, and his flops are ridiculous… he had 2 back to back tonight that were horrific

He definitely fell out of my Top 10 after his performance and exposal this finals

1. Jokic
2. Anthony Edwards
3. SGA
4. Steph
5. Giannis
6. Jaylen Brown
7. Brunson
8. Anthony davis
9. Tatum
10. Embiid

To be honest after this finals Tatum should fall out of your top 10 as well

Luka going to be three bills easy when he retires.

 

[Biscayne]

He leads the Playoffs in Points, Assists and Rebounds. Who cares if he stinks as a defender? Magic is one of the GOATs and that wasn't his strength either.

Cmon.....

 

[GoldenGlove]

This exposal on this stage is great for the game of basketball. Coaches from youth and prep ball can use this as a brick to build on when coaching kids.

Defense matters. Especially against a team and coach that knows you're food and designs their game plan around destroying you

 

[Tunez]

That shyt pissed me off Tonight. Blow by, ball watching l, complaining to the refs

 

[#1 pick]

Defensive rebounds is one of the worst stats, shyt is pointless if you don’t watch games. I could grab a bunch if I’m the designated rebounder, especially nowadays when the paint might look like the dentist waiting room

But yea, he is a top 2-3 offensive player but this is not soccer or football, you have to be able to do both. Perhaps not as good but you cant be playing defense like an amateur in the finals unless you’re dropping 60 with very high efficiency. Unless the rest of your team is 04 Detroit

Trae stans tried to tell ya'll Luka stat padding ain't that valuable. Trae gave Boston hell last year. Damn near won games by himself against them.

 

[yseJ]

Nah

Jokic defense is almost as bad when he's gassed, but him being a 7 footer helps

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Trae young is ass on defense cause he’s a frail midget

Luka is fat & doesn’t try


Ima need Luka to get the same smoke Trae does

Trae is genuinely a better defender than the Luka we’ve seen in these finals. By a good margin too. I wish Luka was given even a quarter of the energy Trae is given for being a bad defender. Guaranteed Trae would put up a better fight than this disaster class defensive performance we’ve seen from Luka

 

[Damnshow]

They should update it with his game 3 performance. Dude was beyond trash.

 

[wire28]

“who cares about defense in the NBA finals?!”

Jesus fukkin Christ this website man

#SilversNBA

nikkas got lulled into thinking a 4 quarter 138-132 game was the evolution of the sport based on supremely talented athletes like Luka

 

[Jeshaman]

He's hurting. He is so gifted offensively it doesn't show but, his defense will be disproportionately affected because it's something he really has to focus on to even be average. He needs to get in better shape and realize that to be a true great he has to at least not be a liability defensively. Learning the hard way, nobody will care that he is playing hurt.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Maybe Minnesota would’ve given Boston a better challenge… oh well

 

[Black Mamba]

He leads the Playoffs in Points, Assists and Rebounds. Who cares if he stinks as a defender? Magic is one of the GOATs and that wasn't his strength either.

What the flying fukk
