[@amerp4050]

@@Crrazzyrulezz I rarely take part in the discussion between racism/discrimination or stuff that is similar. But in my opinion, if you completely ignore a player because of his skin colour (so be it white, black, yellow or whatever other), then you are part of the community that “discriminates”, believes in superiority or anything close. I dont take that lightly, even if we are talking about something thats completely unimportant as basketball. These people showcase this behaviour on TV, no one knows how they behave when the camera is turned off. Discrimination and racism are the cancer of our society, and we can not tolerate/normalize that behaviour. In my definition of discrimination/racism, SAS did take part in pushing aside a player for not being black.

Just because you won the title, it doesn't mean that you can be compared with someone eho is better than you. AD played with Lebron James when he won that title🤣if he won title in Pelicans, while he was clearly the best player, than I would also say he is better player than Nikola Jokic, but because he won the title with Lebron and Lebron was actually Finals MVP in those finals, I can't put AD over Jokic, I'm sorry... Back to back MVPs, had the highest per in the history of the game, had 2000 points, 1000 rebounds and 500 assists in one season...

Recognising athleticism is easy. Not so much with BBall IQ and understanding the game. So what I am saying: SAS is not that well educated about BBall. That’s why he only looks to athleticism.

BUT Luka ALLWAYS elevates his game to a different level in the Postseason, something Booker just isnt able to do! Not to mention that Booker takes WAY more C&S 3's then Luka. Over the last 2 reg seasons, when Booker made the PO, he averages 26.2/4.6/4,6/ while shooting 47.5%/36.4/86.8% in the reg Season and 26.1/5.4/4.5 while shooting 44.8%/35.6%/90% in the Post season. Luka? Over the last 3 years when he made the PO? 28.3/8.8/8.7 while shooting 46.6%/34%/74.5% ... vs ... 32.5/9.3/7.9 while shooting 47.3%/36.6%/69.5% So in the PO? I take a contested step back 3 from Luka over a contested 3 from Booker every day of the week... but thats just me!

And if it comes to reg Season shooting... how long did it take Booker to even have a somewhat acceptable reg Season winning percentage? 5 years? Luka forced the Mavs to up their timeline, cause he was to good too early! As the lone Star he carried a still shaky KP (after his Injury) and a bunch of unproven Role players to the Playoffs IN HIS SECOND YEAR! So his numbers contributed to WINNING! Bookers didnt.

Stephen A and a lot of national media is typically not as accurate as the local media because they're not watching every game and controversial takes gets more eyes watching. If it's not the Lakers or Cowboys, they're just throwing stuff at the wall.

Stephan A: yo book, brother, superstar, game 7, showdown, kick his white butt Booker: i'm hot, im hot, will score at least 11

[@aleksmp5346]

I know Goran, as a child we were from the same block and I confirm that he wanted to come to Dallas, but they gave him a terrible offer. Goran and Luka are good friends, they won Eurobasket 2017, Goran was a kind of role model for Luka and Cuben and his management still did not sign him or any all-star player since now. Dallas is Top 6 team, Luka can't win it alone, he needs time to grow in his head, they can't win against the Warriors. Everyone knows that just Cuben is ignoring the facts (1+1=2) :)

Oh, he is a terrible commentator and one that was lucky to be born in the States because that type of analysis would not stand on this side of the pond (meaning Europe). Right now the best NBA players are three Europeans (Giannis, Luka, Joker)* and that hurts... that hurts a lot... *It would probably be fair to also put Steph in that list who is definetely in the conversation of the best player in the world along with the three I mentioned*

[@jasonschad5379]

He did the same thing to Dirk and Nash. I think its two things for Stephen A. and ESPN. They don't like the Mavericks, the only people that are allowed to be the best is who they like. Thats why they will always say that Dirk and Nash never deserved their mvp's. They never give the Mavs credit for their win over Miami. It's actually embarrassing for them at this point as they make excuses for the Lakers now.

[@ioncarebro]

you cant say the lakers have "great role players" in this context when you be trashing them in any other situation.

The biggest difference is in who can lead a team. Ja may become a good leader but he still has lessons to learn. AD and Book don't seem to have any leadership qualities

Shooters like Booker are great but if they are cold, they will be a liability. You have to be able to attack the basket, post up, pass, etc. So if your shot doesn't drop you can help in multiple other factors.
