Earlier this year when Embiid scored 70 points against a Spurs team who are a lottery team yet again, Stephen A said Embiid is sending a message that he's not here to play around. When Luka scored 60+ against Hawks, Stephen A brushed it off and Hawks defense was to blame for Luka going off. Moron acted like Embiid dropped 70 points on Minnesota's elite defense.

@lionelsheja6381 23 дня назад

Jalen Brunson doesn't deserve first team over Luka or SGA. Since it's position-less, maybe you can argue over Tatum. Even then there's no clear cut argument. Giannis, Jokic, Luka, SGA have all been COMFORTABLY ahead of Brunson this season. And I think Tatum also has a solid argument. I can't believe Perk said he would take out Giannis 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@SwitchMentality 23 дня назад

Brunson over LUKA? SMH, Steven A clearly forgot its postionless... you can make an argument for Tatum but definitely not Luka

@asantana2570 23 дня назад

Why does the goal post always move for Luka that trade for kyrie and pj and Gafford was both rated a D by nba experts…. Idk what Luka has to do no more

@gdmav7775 23 дня назад

1-"JB averaged 31 after Randle went down" (Luka averaged 33.9 on the season) 2-"JB propelled his team to the 2 seed" (The Mavs and Knicks won the same amount of games) 3-"JB had less help than Luka" (Kyrie missed 24 games this season, Lively 27, Gafford and PJ were only here for less than half a season) 4-"JB was the best player in The East" (And Luka was the best player in the west)

@johnkieu2200 23 дня назад

Huge emphasis on the caliber. In actuality, Jokic has never played with another all star/all nba while Brunson has Randle who was an all star this year and all nba 3rd team in 2023. SAS and Perk will try to do anything they can and spin things against Jokic and Luka. And we all know why.

@johnkieu2200 23 дня назад

@brendonbeckmann3899 yes all star "caliber" but his health issues and general inconsistency and deeper western conference has stopped him from being an all star. Jokic has been carrying a heavy burden.

@Trillchris9607 23 дня назад

Brunson over Luka is insanity. SAS has to be trolling at this point. Luka was arguably MVP in a 2-3 player argument. Luka is arguably the best player in the world. Luka had the most injured team out of all playoff teams this year and carried.

@phillipschuman4307 23 дня назад

If a very good player doesn't have another reliable scorer on his team, it is easier to get big scoring numbers. Whereas Luka has Kyrie averaging over 25 ppg, which takes about 20 shot attempts a game away from Luka.

You're full of sh!t Giannis averaged 30, 12, and 7 on 61% from the field. The first to average 30+ ppg on 60+% from the field in NBA HISTORY! How is Brunson ahead of him for ONE more team win compared to Giannis who was out with injury and held the 2nd seed while he was healthy. Not to mention that the Bucks dealt with injuries the entire time they were under Doc so that isn't a reason for Brunson either. The Knicks are also a deeper team so he had plenty of help. Giannis, Dame, and Khris were all out with injuries and only played 6 games together under Doc. STFU

Espn need to have ppl that can make precise points. There were better teams in the west but they act like brunson couldnt score against western teams, SMH i looked it up, brunson averaged 29 points on the dot against western teams. He averaged 28.9 against eastern teams. Brunson gave all coast buckets his 50 plus games was against western teams
