🚨 PERK & RJ DEBATE 🚨 Is Luka Doncic or Anthony Edwards the BEST PLAYER in the WCF? | NBA Today 

Recency bias is crazy, Luka is 25 and he’s about to receive his 5th all nba first team selections, he’s already a 5x all star and a scoring champ. He just came of a season where he averaged 34/9/9 and finished 3rd in mvp voting. Two good playoffs series from Ant doesn’t make him better than Luka

If ant had averaged 34/10/9 for the season they would've already called him better than mj at this point

ANT is undeniably a great a player and a superstar but they butter him up so badly just because he's American and they don't want more foreign players sizing up domestic players

Keep it going ESPN. LUKA LOVES THIS

2 WCF in 3 years. He has never had homecourt in the playoffs. The only time he did he missed the first 2 home games due to injury.Has beaten 2 #1 seeds. Number 2 in Playoff PPG only behind Michael Jordan. Number 1 all time in Playoff PPG following a loss at 34 PPG! The first 34/9/10 season in NBA history. This season # 1 PPG,#1 in 40 point games,# 1 in 35 point games. #2 in APG. The most efficient 70 point game ever at 75% and 4th highest scoring game in NBA history. The first and only 60/20/10 game in NBA history. Luka just ended the Thunder series with 3 straight triple doubles two of them being 30 point triple doubles.Led the Mavs to a 50 win season despite being one of the most injured teams this year in the most stacked Western Conference ever. 4 All NBA First Team selections will be 5 this year in 6 seasons!! He just turned 25 in February 2024! Luka Magic ladies and gentlemen the most disrespected young superstar in NBA history!!

Its Luka. Its not that close.

It’s not even a question luka is the best player arguably in the world luka averaged 34/9/9 How is this even a question luka best player in the series Thanks for the likes.. love passion in the comments 🔥 People who say Luka bad defender go watch he did to Conley in game 1

We weren't having this conversation in previous years when Luka had been breaking every record within reach and having great playoff runs & performances, so I'm not about to start just because Ant is having ONE historic(In ESPN'S eyes) post season unless he wins the championship in really dominating fashion.

Looking at achievements in the last few years there is just one possible conclusion......it's Luka!!!!!

ESPN: Jokic is gone yes, oh...Luka is still around

Every single year every single young player has been compared to Luka and most of the time was chosen over Luka. From the likes of Trae Young, Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson, Devin Booker, Ja Morant, SGA, and now Anthony Edwards every single young player was compared to Luka and yet Luka stand still up to now. Going to his 2nd WCF in 3 years in a harder conference. Always in the MVP conversation every single year. And about to be 5x ALL-NBA first team in his 6 year career is crazy. And yet People most especially the media are continuing to disrespect him. I repeat "FIVE TIME ALL-NBA FIRST TEAM IN 6 YEARS" please take that in y'all mind

In a space of 3 years luka has been compared by media to young, booker, morant, sga and now edwards. It’s almost like he’s the common denominator they’re trying to bring down

Ant is great, but this should not even be a debate. Media is pushing it with him

The disrespect for Luka in all media is crazy like he ain’t doing what ant is doing he been do it.

Booker was a best player at one time until he fk with luka😂😂😂

It's Luka, Ant is the new fresh face but Luka has been demolishing hopes and dreams for the last couple of years. As a basketball fan, Ant v Luka is the best you could've hoped for.

Having the most points in T-Wolves postseason isn't a real big achievement. Haha

Luka has proven all year that his is the better player. Not sure why this is even a question at this point. If Edwards comes up and beats Luka in this series then you have a case for Edwards.

These Antman d riders are outta control, man. Lmao He's great, but good Lord

Never seen people hype up a 6/24 performance in a game 7 so much. Anthony Edwards was absolutely not the best player in the Timberwolves/Nuggets series. And its very funny to say Luka also averaged 25/5/5 like thats a serious downplay of what he did. The man averaged 34/9/10.

It's like they are setting up A. Edwards for failure... so much glazing prematurely.. They heaping too much pressure on the young man.

It’s Luka, and he’s about to prove it.

So, Anthony Edwards affects the game more than just scoring, but Jayson Tatum supposedly does not???

This take looks pretty stupid now. Luka is by far the best player in the series. Luka at 80% this series is making Ant look like a G-league player.

Not gonna say who but based on the stats it shouldnt be hard to tell… 1st team all NBA last 3 seasons League leading scorer 2nd in assist 4th all time in most points scored in a game (74 pts) Has been top 2/3 in triple doubles past couple seasons 2nd in 3’s made #1 guard in rebounds 8th in steals Avg 34/9/9 this year Conference finals 2 times in 3 years Eliminated #1 seed 2 times in 3 years In MVP race past 3 years MVP finalists this year Eliminated one MVP finalists this year Gets double teamed waaaay more than any other player Has a GLOBAL following ANT ISNT TOP 10 IN ANY CATEGORY BUT HES THE FACE OF THE LEAGUE? STOP IT…

ESPN hates Luka and the Mavs, it’s so obvious lol

Lol yall just forget kyrie Irving is on the mavericks he knows what it takes.

People forget Luka made it to the WCF WITHOUT Kyrie. The disrespect is ridiculous.

We weren’t having this conversation about Luka when he was dominating the postseason a couple years ago, and he didn’t have another all star, a defensive player of the year, and another defensive first teamer

What has he done yet to even be compared to kobe and jordan these guys need to relax

Why is this even a question… Like disrespect is crazy

Come on now, this really a question smh...Luka and it ain't even close

Dude shot 6for24

Ant is the 3rd best player in this series behind Luka AND Kyrie. LuKai > Ant + KAT + Rudy.

As a wolves fan... Luka cmon lol

Kyrie about to say, “hold up. I’m better than all you mfs” 😂

Luka was better in his second season than ant was in this season this is ridiculously not close

lmao greatest game 7 of all time. 16 on 6/24 shooting. real MJ like lmao

Richard is the only one up there that makes some sense!

dude Luka and the Mavs had arguably the hardest route to the WCF. Sixers with Harden and Paul George who played REALLY good, and the runner up MVP in SGA with the #1 seed Thunder?? Timberwolves is going to be the Mavs easiest series. MAVS IN 5

The best player is clearly Luka

They making the common mistake up doubting Luka. Typical.

A reminder that Luka was the best player at 22 when they went against the Clippers. He averaged 35.7 points, 10.3 assists and 7.9 rebounds against a healthy Kawhi and PG. Can you imagine if he had a four-time all star teammate, four-time DPOY and 6MOY?

If Ant had Lukas numbers yall wouldn't shut up about how superior he is. But since his numbers aren't as good "meh they're about the same."

Until they play 1v1, the better question is which is the better team.

Saying Anthony Edwards is better than Luka is blasphemy

How is this a debate?? Luka 100% Ant is great but he’s here today because of GoBear Cat and McDannie

if luka shot 6 of 24 from the field these talking heads will bury him .... even if his team wins

I love how Edwards didn't want to call out Luka instead he called out kyrie . he know he doesn't want that smoke 🤣

What has Edward done to be likened to Kobe or Mj? 😂😂

First it was ja, then sha and now it's ant, of course they have to look for anything anywhere so they could pick somebody over Doncic for obvious reasons I can smell the desperation in their breath

Luka is best player still standing, and its not particularly close.

lmfao luka is playing with a sprained knee, a bad other knee, a bad back, and a bad ankle and he’s still better than Anthony Edwards. Can you imagine if Luka had Edwards’ supporting cast LMAO they would have been 8-0 in this playoffs with a blowout win every game

If Luka at the same age performed like Ant, you wouldn't be praising. Even when you're trying to praise Luka it sounds like a backhanded compliment 😅

It’s a close one, but I’d go with ANT because he’s such a DAWG on the defensive end!

Y'all hyping ant for no reason lol

The best player in the Western conference finals is the one who takes his team to the finals

We are about to find out. Luka Vs A.E.

This is a actually insulting question. Luka is in a whole different league.

Anthony isn’t better than Luca. He has better teammates.

kyrie irving showing up is the most important aspect of this series. by far.

Perk used to say it was tatum, morant, trae… and eventually he admitted luka is better. Ant is just another player who will come and go

Luka finished top 3 in MVP voting, led the league in scoring, is a 5x all-star, and is on his way to his 5th all-NBA selection in 6 years. I love ant but lets have some respect

This video didn’t age well 😂

The luka disrespect is crazy

Nice work, Perk!

Find it funny that they are breaking down how Edwards is the leading scorer for the Wolves franchise history when we all know what kind of history that franchise has 😂

Love ant but how Crazy Media Rides an American Young Star . This getting out of Hand Dallas in 6

If you think Luka whined like a baby in the OKC, particularly G6 and refs had to tell him to stop, just wait til the release the hounds, uh wolves.

It’s ANT & it’s not even close. Luka is a cone on defense.

Luka is dealing with like five lingering injuries this postseason and still is playing like a superstar. When he’s fully healthy, Luka is a better scorer, playmaker, rebounder, and shooter than Ant. Ant’s got the defense over Doncic for sure, but other than that I think Luka is the better player in most areas.

Luka owns the poverty state of Minnesota

Its luka but if he’s hobbled by this knee than maybe ant can have the better series

Hollup, this iSpy bit is kinda 🔥🔥lol

Its funny how quickly and easily ppl forget. At a time not too long ago, KAT was projected to be one of the best players in the league. Bad management and bad injury luck has curbed that narrative. But a healthy KAT will certainly be the difference in the rest of these games. If he stays healthy and focused, no one beats Minnesota.

It’s actually Kyrie Irving. All around better scorer than Luka and Ant. But obv they gonna promote Ant vs Luka cuz they got next. 22 yrs old vs 25. Gon be a fun series 🍿

Wolves in 6 maybe 5 don’t sleep on defense 🏀 🐺

I guess we'll find out in the next series!

It’s gonna be a fun series to watch.

I got Ant all day but that boy Luka is a baaaaad man. & Kyrie just quietly doing his OG things

“Ant climbing a mountain” 😂😂😂 Perk Cooked 🔥

Luka no doubt. Dude continues to make progress as a defender and even close to average there he’s head and shoulders above anyone in the world

Am I hearing a fire alarm sound?... lol

This is the closest thing to a Kobe vs Lebron playoff match we’ll ever get.

NGL I just want to clown on Gobert if he gets embarrassed by Derrick Lively

This series will decide who’s better

AE plays defense too. Debate over.

Both teams will win games in the series, but I guarantee you that Minnesota will be the team that wins 4 games in this series

That is nuts he just said ant and mcdaniels are the best duo on defence, any 2 of Dwhite, jrue, brown and or Tatum is better, keeping it just within the 4 teams left

Ant won't send Mavs home. Wolves could do it, however. I do love the way Ant puts his heart out there, owns when he messes up, gives his teammates credit, and never backs down from the moment. He is going to be a treat to watch for many years to come. Luka, whines way too much, but what an offensive talent. Can he finally pass the ultimate test? Get to the NBA finals against a better team and make others better around him, for the Wolves definitely have the upper hand in this series. Enjoy the new guard of hoopers...I am personally glad to see the old guard out of the playoffs.

The Ant Glazing is hillarious

Really mj and Kobe 🤣😂

Perk is trippin

It hasn't even started and these Mavs fans are already coping for being underdogs. 😂

Jeff is right on the money, overall if you’re looking at skills and the ability to control the pace of the game it’s Luka but he isn’t 100% and Ant been balling so all that matters is who shows up game to game. I’m a Mavs fan but the wolves ain’t no joke it’s gonna be a back and forth series

As of now, Ant-Man has been averaging 29 PTS, 6 REB, and 6 AST in the playoffs, while shooting 50/40/84. Luka has been averaging 27 PTS, 10 REB, and 9 AST shooting 42/30/79. You CANNOT tell me that Luka has been the better player in these playoffs. Not until he shows up against Minnesota.

It’s obviously Anthony Edwards. Anyone saying Luka is as delusional as when people said LaMelo was better than Ant.

Luka could average 40/10/10 and sweep the wolves and ESPN will say Edwards had no help and was on a team with average players.

i still don't get it why these people keep putting mj on anthony edwards he is not even good he is mid player.

Difference is that Luka still is a liability on defense. Ant can clamp up any team’s best guard. If Luka is on Ant then Luka’s ankles bout to snap in half.
