It's been a really bad year for all the racists. First Jokic wins his 3rd MVP in four years, and now Luka has sent the "guy who should have won MVP" and the "Face of the League/Jordan 2.0" packing in back-to-back series. If the Mavs win the championship, it will be a LONG offseason for the haters.

Why do they have to be racists though? I think Jokic’s choke job in the playoffs kinda proves their point a bit.. no one ever said he wasn’t a great player.. but 3x MVPs are held to a higher standard than 1x or 2x MVPs and they generally don’t blow 20pt 2nd half leads in game 7s at home.. especially not after getting blown out by 50 after being up 3-2.. that has zero to do with his color.. and let’s be real, people overrated Ant to make Jokic’s loss not sting as much and let him off the hook.. no one said Jordan 2.0 before he blew out Denver in game 2.. no one said best defense in 30 years until Denver could only muster 80pts.. and then 70pts.. And really, Luka was the one who got robbed for MVP.. SGA probably deserved #2.. color doesn’t have anything to do with it.. And as far as face of the league, people saying that about Ant or Tatum or whoever else, let’s be real, face of the league is more than just being the best player.. it’s being one of the best players AND assuming the responsibility of ambassador of the sport.. you gotta like the cameras.. gotta want to shake hands and kiss babies.. gotta embrace the media, embrace the culture of the league, do sit-down interviews, all of the photo shoots, charity events, meet with league offices, players unions, etc.. it’s more of an unofficial figurehead role.. and Ant seems like someone who would embrace that.. he’s already been in movies and stuff lol.. Jokic has probably already left the country.. Luka curses out fans on live TV lol (which I like, but the NBA probably isn’t fond of lol).. Maybe there are some who only see the color aspects.. and they’re gonna have to live with it - for years to come lol.. but not all criticism or opinions are based on that stuff.. don’t fall into making the same mistake as them..

He's been locked in on defense. That's what has him taking the next step. Man can hoop and is a wizard with the ball, but when he is bringing it on defense, it motivates his teammates to give their all. When your superstar is playing hard all game on both sides of the ball, it makes the role players lay everything out. You see PJ Washington, Lively, Gafferd, Derek Jones, all the Mavs playing with fire. It takes a team and Luka is owning his role as the leader.

Says something that the highest level of European players are taking over. 1) The best of other countries can compete 2) They learn basketball at a fundamental level, here in the U.S. is all about showmanship and flopping.

This is why I hate the NBA media. They don't talk about the players that deserve to be talked about, they only push their little narratives to promote certain players over others. We all know the reason they hype Edwards and not Luka, this is just wrong.

Luka might look like he’s not the most athletically gifted player, but he is! He’s 6’7 and is the main point guard, he’s the one that makes this offense extremely explosive! His basketball IQ is off the charts…He see’s the court so well. When the defense collapses on him, he ALWAYS finds the open guy! I think the Mavericks have 50+ alley oops, the next closest team has like 5…Game 5 Luka set the tone early, scoring 20 points in the first 10 minutes of the game, out scoring Minnesota himself! Luka & Kyrie are the best backcourt in NBA history, period! And I agree, if Luka was black, he’d get way more respect from the biased/racist media!
@SatansLittleHelper83316 ай бұрын
It's just the media making noise tbh, and I like that they celebrate more than one or two players. We're so spoilt with this generation of ballers and having so many elite players in the league. The NBA and media around it needs to be more team centric again and knock it off with constantly talking about individuals. I'm a Slovenian basketball fan and Luka is our pride and joy, but the team around him is so important this year. I hope they can take it all the way and win, go Mavs!
