DISAPPOINTING LEADERSHIP 👀 Brian Windhorst on Luka Doncic in the NBA Finals | NBA Today

Bro. I see Luka complaining to the refs during a play he didn’t even touch the ball 😂

@@ali2538 Bruh... This ain't football. Their basketball club is nowhere near the football level.

[@CozyLoungeShorts]

He’s done it every game of his career. Him and Jokic. The refs just bless them all year long. There’s literally videos of both of them jumping up and down, mouth wide open to the air, eyes closed, and hands out wide. Like a brat. Luka should’ve been facing this scrutiny but the refs chose them over OKC and MIN. Also though, this is how sports and entertainment work. He needs this to build his storyline for the next 10 years. He either recovers, learns to lead, and wins multiple. Or he fails to correct himself and is a brat the rest of his career. We need this. We need the Shai and Ant losses. We need Boston to finally win another, it’s been since 08. History will always be important.

[@condlewis]

Does Luka play League of Legends? I swear he's learned to cry from some of the best and that is probably the best place to learn

[@ninjachannel007]

The worst part about Luka complaining every play is that HE is the one who is always initiating the contact--leaning in on jumpshots from 10 feet in, kicking his leg out on 3s, throwing shoulders and forearms--so it's not somebody like Giannis who is just trying to score and gets hit every play. It's a guy who is used to deceiving refs, realizing they call games differently in the finals because they don't want to decide them. You can actually see him scared to guard Jaylen Brown, too. Like the 5th foul, when he pretended to fall and tackle him instead of going 1-v-1 because Brown had already scored on him 5 times in the post this game. He's also fat. Like, he's always been varying degrees of chubby for basketball, but he seems out of shape.

[@farainyika2365]

james harden style foul baiting

[@StuTheDon17]

His overall fitness is poor. If he was actually fit and in good shape, he'd have the tank to be able to defend. Instead, he is lumpy and has poor cardio, so all he can do is be a traffic cone on defence. If he wants to be a better player, he needs to take his fitness seriously.

[@moxmann]

When you give a player calls they don't deserve the feel entitled and expect to get every call.

[@TheChrismeg34]

​@@StuTheDon17I agree. He needs to lose 15 pounds so that he can move his feet on defense. His offensive footwork is incredible, it's just his overall stamina and defense

[@condlewis]

@@StuTheDon17 yup that's why all the best players in the history of basketball take their conditioning very seriously. Lebron spends $1 million/year on his body. Steph's biggest skill besides his shooting (obviously) is his ability to run all over the court and not get tired. He spent years training this specifically. Luka thinks he can just show up with a bag of offensive skills and complain until the refs hand him a win. Nobody has ever won a championship doing that.

The entire postseason, he's been able to hand the best opposing backcourt player off, while he feasted offensively against smaller or less talented players. He can't during this Finals. Tatum, Brown, White, Holiday, even Pritchard, can get a bucket. He can't tell Washignton or Ky to guard Ant, Harden or PG while he posts up Russ and Conley.

Defense wins championships. Luka is a liability on defense and you can see him just walk to get an outlet pass after getting SMOKED by whoever he's guarding, instead of rotating or calling help. Boston always looks to isolate ANYONE Luka is guarding because he takes no pride in his defense. If forced to play defense like end of game 3, he just fouls and expects the refs to help him like they do on offense where they let him constantly push off to get space. He committed at least 10 fouls if you count the OBVIOUS offensive push offs where he literally throws a forearm to get space.

Dude you are a hater. He is toasted, Boston is wearing him out and he had issues with his knees all postseason long.

Honestly i don't like his personality and his style of game, but the media guys are not being fair with him. It's the very media that now burries him with criticism that glorified him as "best player in the world" not 2 weeks ago. And the guy has been playing like this his entire career. He is an elite scorer and passer, but his defensive effort, his conditioning, his off the ball movement and his ability to lead and have other teammates involved is just non-existing. These deficiencies have been present in his game his entire career and he is just not evolving. The primary reason he is in the finals is because of kyrie's unbelievable performance this postseason. The sooner the media stops projecting this false image of him as next goat and starts to rate his game realistically troughout the season, the sooner he will receive incentive to get better and work on his weak points. This constant patronizing him with "Luka magic" bs is not doing him any favours.

10:01 - 10:15 The criticism of Luka has gone TOO Far.... 2001 Olympics in Tokyo? No wonder Luka "couldn't control himself"... "He was only 2 and a half years old!" 🍼🍼👶🤣🤣👑

[@mjf8897]

KP saying Luka is out of shape, he isn't wrong but come on man. Richard Jefferson is trying to let him know.

[@keeyonniez]

I’ve been saying Luka has been crying when a call doesn’t go his way

[@davorvidovic8335]

A lot of “experts “here making comments,you do realize that he is playing injured,and still how quickly you forget that without him ,Dallas would be 20 wins team .

[@8mathdaddy]

Luka is the reason why the Mavs were in the Finals.

[@Eric.T.Rogers]

Windy is spot-on!

[@ronf.2029]

Miami Heat won 1 game against the Celts without Butler and Rozier. Mavs have Kyrie, Luka and added PJ and Gafford and now about to get swept. Let that sink in.

[@kevinscott9242]

Windhorst & Perk saying Game 3 will be a learning experience for Luka. By 2026 Luka will be ready to be a leader. How can anyone call him the #1 player in game when analysts still talk about him like a raw prospect who is a couple yrs away from being a mature leader. Jokic & SGA don't have these questions.

[@nintendoconvert4045]

This is the guy they tried to trade for KD. Tatum is now 1B.

[@SoundsOfMotoring]

Windhorst was probably waiting for the day he could bring up all the dirt on Luka. Well its your day dude. Be happy to kick the guy while he is down.

[@kevinc8955]

Luka is ANNOYING. How can anyone who doesn’t live in Dallas like seeing this dude play? I used to say the same thing about Harden in his prime. Cool…awesome numbers…but super unlikable foul-baiting cry-baby play style.

[@swarajthapa5798]

heard about constructive criticism?

[@RickRanger711]

The world has been in extreme pussification mode for about 10 years now so I can see how you feel this way...

[@sixtynine2856]

😂😂😂

[@Jdcjr1991]

@@kevinc8955I’ve been fussing about how he plays for a while now but people say I’m hating lol

[@AiimStraight]

“Greatest ever to touch the basketball,…” but he’s too slow. Luka needs explosiveness, also with Jokic

[@JMJMusic88]

Luka is competitive and he’s young. I think he wants it so bad. He has to mature but we’ve seen players quit in moments like this. He just needs to mature

[@ronjackson9895]

He has been playing as a professional since he was a teenager. He should know better by now.

[@megmaravillas]

@@ronjackson9895He is very competitive, that's why attitude is like that. He hates losing. Boston is just too strong as a team, almost as a superteam I may say.

[@lovemycity420]

He is not competitive…..competitors don’t allow opponents to score so easily! Real competitors would hate others scoring on them and do something about it

[@megmaravillas]

@@lovemycity420 Oh really, don't make yourself look stupid. Google his name. He's been a champion already. He killed Twolves with his defense. Don't watch highlights, go watch the full game. Scored a triple double with beat up body because of hard fought west finals, compare to easy path for Boston.

[@TerryMcDaniel-uf2bl]

Luka need to mature lmao its over for Dallas . Wemby and the Spurs are taking over . This was your chance and yall laid an egg

[@BZFilmz]

Perk you might not be the right person on this panel to speak on Lukas weight.

[@gregoriusrex1855]

Luka is the only player who is performing decently for the Mavs what are they talking about

[@alexshirley6096]

Kyrie was laughing in game 1 when they were down 20 and going after Celtics fans on Twitter after they lost kyrie and Luca need to grow up

[@funkallectual]

sweep. celtics champs. it is done. this team has been on playoff runs for years. now they have learned their lessons and is 1 win away from the championship. as bad as an all star dunk contest contestant brown was, he has now become an alpha by being consistent throughout the playoffs. tatum is a beta with his up and down performances. white and jrue has been great support for them. porzing at least made an impact on game 2. mavs, on the other hand, has offensive power in luka & kyrie but is subpar in defense especially compared to boston. it is their first time in the finals since dirk. although they have improved their defense a bit, it is still not enough to stop the celtics. luka's immaturity also has cost them their finals. these constant bickering and complaining instead of putting his head in the game. this run is a tough lesson for them. will they come back next year? lets see.

[@Holmescourttv165]

Luka's drunk and tired out there... and Luka's not a leader.. He leads scoring because he gets to shoot until he finds his shot... How you shoot 27 times and only score 27 points? That's horrible... He got exposed and he ain't who he thinks he is nor is he who the league is hyping him to be...

[@FlyWithMe_666]

3:05 The difference between somebody who knows basketball (Jefferson) and … well, Malika.

[@LALakers4life34]

She’s one of the worst

[@cg-constantlygrowing1896]

Perkins is 1000% correct. Luka was a liability

[@Joe_Ma99]

Windy is gross. Luka had the best +- on his team with a +9. Kyrie played well but even he was a -3. The role guys have been abysmal on offense.

[@1crediblemessenger494]

Let’s call a spade a spade this is one of the worst choke jobs in NBA History stop sugar coating it.

[@TheJJALLDayShow]

people are acting like MJ and Kobe never complained to the refs

[@94mikless]

Windhorst was waiting for this moment for years 💀💀💀 Hating at its best

[@CozyLoungeShorts]

Malika shut up. First you’re trying to make points talking about you talked to someone in the organization. Then cutting Windy off just fit in part of the conversation. Hush.

[@jaysalazar107]

Thank God we have Victor wembanyama

[@TerryMcDaniel-uf2bl]

Its more intriguing to watch Victor Wembayamas highlights than it is to watch the NBA finals . I'm a Laker fan !
