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 😂

Windy STAYS cooking Luka Doncic

He stays complaining about each and every call.

Luka been like this but now he’s exposed because it’s the finals and everyone’s watching.. he needs to grow up!! He also needs to learn how to play some type of defense

people dont realize how good this boston celtics are even if u compare it to other historically good teams

It’s funny because this is how Luka has always been

Luka acting like a streetball bully. Hacks on every play or complaining on every play.

lol Windy must have placed a bet on the Mavs. Dudes spitting “disgusting” lol

making the money sign at the ref when you have been blown out twice is crazy. lol

As Lakers fan I HATE Boston with a passion, I’m an old school 80s baby Lakers fan, But… they’re a great team and we’ll put together, True professionals on that roster and that young DUO is great together, Boston has shown PAITENCE and hires from within, They didn’t panic from fan pressure and trade off their young Duo from failing multiple times, This is how a great franchise is ran, So at the end of the day F*** YOU BOSTON!!! 😊

Harden-ball, Luka-ball, Brunson-ball...whatever you wanna call it, it's not a winning basketball formula. Plus when your best player doesn't try on defense it's harder to win.

Luka has been doing this for years. Watch any Mavs game. He complains every single play. It’s a wonder he isn’t ejected more often. Cousins got ejected for nothing all the time.

RJ really had to correct Malika and let them know what really happened on that play 😂😂😂

Thank you RJ for correcting malika

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.

Jaylen Brown can have a Kawhi like career if he keeps this up. Only 27, early prime

@ 3:04 ESPN trying to divide a wedge between Tatum and Brown. Rj was having none of that.

I don't follow people with amazing talent that don't work hard.

"Luka can't control himself" 😂

How is Luka any different than prime James Harden? (2018, 2019) seriously someone enlighten me

A guy who is not even able to take care of his own body should just shut up. Why listen to him??

This is so dumb. Just because Dallas is losing it’s all of a sudden is Luka’s fault and Tatum is all of a sudden better then Luka when one player clearly has the better team and the other player is clearly playing better.

Luka "the next James Harden" Doncic And Kyrie "wants to be the alpha but can't and now still can't as a sidekick" Irving 😂😂😂

That blow-by stat should be incorporated into 2k next year. 😂

Luka is the reason the Mavs are in the finals. Ky finally showed up and helped Luka but, where was the rest of the team, the role players need to make plays too

Officer Brown forgot Luka in the back of the patrol car 😢

As the biggest Luka fan out there (and a Slovenian from the same city), a lot of this criticism is merited. Most of all, Luka needs to start taking nutrition and taking care of his body more seriously. He was a traffic cone yesterday, and made dumb fouls, precisely because he was gassed. Yet again. Imagine what a beast he would be if he was in shape...

Spoiled golden child. Hard work pays off when talent doesn’t work hard. He’s a great player but he needs to get in the gym and work on his body so he doesn’t break down.

Careful windy Nick wright will say you’re bullying Luka again.

yall notice malika trying to create a narrative with jaylen brown waving off tatum and RJ had to correct her

Luka has been consistently complaining since he got in the league, that sh!t ain’t gonna stop because he’s in the finals… 😂😂😂

The Bus Rider Kyrie now realizing he was always a rider & not a driver.

Perk averaged lessed then 3 points a game go make a some soup cause you always like to stir the pot and talk nonsense.

Perk and Malika please leave the panel your services is not needed

Luka worse than Ben Simmons on defense 😂

Not saying Luka doesn't deserve criticism but it's funny how all these talking heads are on Lebron's nuts 24/7 even though he's twice as bad as Luka when it comes to complaining to the refs.

Windy says this because he wants Luka to succeed. He's not criticizing him, he's giving Luka a good advise. Hopefully Luka accepts this and learns from it.

He can’t stay in front of anyone

Windy is right, his Defense is Brutal, he is very lazy on Defense, go back and look how often he was the last to get back on Defense just no Interest in Defending at all he literally gets beat off the dribble then look over to the ref and complain about absolutely nothing. Luka is a excellent player but he has work to do, need to get in better shape and become a better Defender

@0:47 body language says a lot about a player.. no hustle to get back. He even points at JT for someone to stop him..

There is one positive to be taken from the Mavs’ performance last night: They came back from 21 down in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter. There’s no doubt they can play with the Celtics. But Luka and his teammates have not figured out how to play consistently to their own strengths against a team that’s very good but certainly not unbeatable.

ESPN and it's crappy takes. Not a single word about playing Hardaway for 20 minutes with 0 pts and absolutely zero defense. This is what cost us this game, not Luka.

Jaylen Brown is still getting better

You guys hating on a 25 year old who has carried his team to the nba finals, on harsh defense, with an injured knee. Led the playoffs in all totals. 25 years old. Judging him like he is 33.

Malika annoying

Windy needs to go lose some weight and show some leadership at ESPN through actions. ESPN needs to reduce his per diem frfr

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.

Man, a week ago the panels were fully engorged with Luka Sausage. Talking about Boston's easy path and how Doncic dispatched the best teams in the NBA as they won the West. He was even being considered an ALL-TIME top 5 player. 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. Remember when Giannis, Luka and Jokic said the NBA was too easy? Well, looks like the three of them are going to be stuck on one and none in the title category for some time now.

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...

Wait, is the NBA Finals logo on the court just CGI by ESPN? Because that's not in the other replays o.o

Remember Cam in NFL talked about game "managers" and game "changers". It also applies to Luka

I have had it with these so called experts. Time for espn to clear house. They try to come across as the most knowledgeable people, but usually know nothing. ESPN has had their narrative all year and it has always been anybody but Luka. The players just laugh at the stupid things these idiots say. Bet windy has never played a game of ball in his life.

I want the same energy for lebron when he pulls that stuff

I use to have the same gripe with Tatum, he used to complain a lot about noncalls and he would miss the transition or get a technical which cost his team. I'm very impressed with his growth in the respect, he still does it sometimes but but nearly as much as he used to. That to me shows a leader who is willing to listen and act on that advice. Luka listens, he just either doesn't care to change his complaining or he can't. I don't know which is worse.

malika just be yapping

ESPN should change it's name to The National Enquire. The reporting and analysis is about the same.

They really waited for game 3 to slander Luka since he was amazing in game 1 and 2. A perfect example of 1 negative thing can outweigh everything you did so well before. HE IS IN THE FINALS AS THE MAVS BEST PLAYER. Maybe if THJ hit one of his brick 3 they win game 3, Brown hook Luka in that 5th foul, the 6th foul was called bc Brown fell down, Luka was not exactly trying to take a charge but just absorb contact that Brown INITIATED. Refs are letting them play physical but Luka got the short end of it at the worst time possible.

Media and fans are getting exposed right now for calling this guy the best in the league. He is up there for being on of the best, best this is your best player for you

Its low key so distracting to watch Luka play cause if you focus on him you see him just talking to the refs every freaking possession. I really wish they made a rule players aren't allowed to speak to refs at all. That's the coaches job

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

Mavs need to add Dirk to coaching staff to mentor Luka on how to be a champion.

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!" 🍼🍼👶🤣🤣👑

Perk is officially useless

08:00 this tape show how shameful the effort on defense is from Doncic. He is just standing there!

This is incredible slander on this mans name. Please please when Luka matures and reaches his prime please dont apologize and tell everybody how great he is

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

The Mavs defense has been good. The “blow-by stat” is because the gameplan to funnel left and force the Celtics to shoot contested 2PA against lively/gafford. The Mavs’ offense has been the reason they’ve lost each game.

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

They didn't lose that game because luca doncic, but they also didn't win because of him. Let that sink in.

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 .

Being strong is not crying and arguing with the refs. This is weak. I say that and I love this guy. He just need to go through this before becoming his best self.

Perkins is 1000% correct. Luka was a liability

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

Windy speaking facts lowkey

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

Why is Mr. 3 point career average Kendrick Perkins talking so much crap about players a 1000x better than him. You just gonna forget that Luka's whole team haven't showed up the first 2 games and he just had 1 below average game? Lmao

Jason Kidd wearing hat backwards in press conferences was the sign they were losers.

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.

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

mavs in 7

Richard Jefferson's face at the 10:30 mark... Luka's not in shape. Ouch. Slam. Dunk.

Absolutely, Luka is the key reason the Mavs are in the finals. However, where is the Luka we saw against the Wolves, the one who hit the game-winner against Rudy and played solid defense? That version of Luka seems absent now. Against the Celtics, he's missing a lot of shots offensively, not to mention the defensive struggles. But I believe Luka will improve from this series and win a ring very soon.

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.

Think Malik’s was wrong twice on this one. Didn’t see any fans leaving early because everyone knows this is the nba in 2024

where’s the podcast windy

This proves that a healthy Clippers team, would have beaten Dallas in the first round en route to their first championship.

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

All these excuses for Luka is laughable 😂

Ive stop being a Luka Fan at his second year in the NBA cos i Notice Dam He complains alot like ive never seen someone complain more than Luka and its just rub me the wrong way. i know NBA players complain about calls but Luka is on another LEVEL.

Dont't create this BS that Luka is not playing great defense because he's not healthy. Because he gets really healthy on offense. So is he only injured on defense? 😂😂

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

I got to say that at this point watching Luka constantly complaining it's just boring

People acting like “officer Brown” putting Luka in a chokehold and he’s averaging 30 lol. Luka BEAT himself this year by continuing to develop his bad habit of complaining to the refs. Celtics won this nba championship by building healthy team habits during last year’s offseason We’ll see if Luka will learn to do the same. If Kobe was around I believe he’d be the one to get through to him rs. Mazulla hasn’t proved himself as a coach to me yet though. He inherited a team built to win + face a depleted team every round this year in the playoffs. Brown, Tatum and the GM deserve the credit

it' all cool and all, but whats happening in utah?

Bro that stat is CRAZY luka has the top 3 blow by percentages of THE LAST 10 years!!! Bro come on

Brian should go eat a brisket and let the true analysts do the talking.

I can’t listen to Perkins critize a player when he’s never done anything in his career. He’s a bystander in the NBA. He’s never been the reason any team has won or lost. He was just watching from the sideline. .. calling Luka dumb for getting called for a foul. Watch Perkins when he was sitting on the bench with a suit on and got called for a foul against curry when it was cavs vs dubs lol .

When Michael Finley took Luka’s beer away, it gave a glimpse into the difficulties that the Mavs have in managing him. He would need something like the Miami “Heat Culture” for him to be in shape, play defence, stop complaining to the refs etc - because they mandate discipline, effort and accountability.

Hated this guy watching him during the Timberwolves series

I dont want it to happen but it would be fire if we can celebrate the chip at home in the garden
