@@raymondthomas1574 lol go back and watch game 7 vs the suns and tell me who in the league could replicate tht game of what luka did against the number one overall seed and favorite to win the finals. I’ll wait cause there is nobody. Mavs are gonna come back strong next season and Luka will be named the best player in the world.
@@EduSanjuan777 buddy Luka got blown by over TWENTY times last night, making Dallas help and leaving open shots. This has been his biggest weakness since he arrived. Zero lateral quickness and slow feet. You can’t possibly argue and say this isn’t the case.
@@EduSanjuan777 nevermind half the time he just stands in the corner taking possessions off because he’s out of shape and tired. Dude huffs and puffs every single 4th quarter because he has no stamina.
26 years old, un-drafted play in G league claims a 23 years old 4x All 1st team NBA, Rookie of the year overrated is crazy😂 and I’m a Sun’s fan let that sink in Edit:oh and 4x All-star
Luka is overrated in the sense that the mavs haven't gone past the conference finals. But for individual stats... He deserves all the hype he is getting. Luka's rookie year was already a preview of his greatness.
@@jjalessandro1234 I mean even MJ got swept in the first round 3 years straight after his rookie year, So I don’t really blame Luka tbh, and for us Suns fan we were sh*t team for decades even with booker when he got drafted in 2015 he didn’t debut in the playoffs until Chris Paul got there. Booker playoffs debut was in 2021 so 6 years and When Mavs drafted Luka in 2018 he took them from 2nd worst team in the league before drafted him to 50+ wins team in his Sophomore year(2019). I know last year they have Worst year since they drafted him but I know they gonna bounce back because they got HIM, so it’s kinda hurt that we drafted Ayton who is not with us anymore over Luka😂
Hell if I shot 99.99% of the time I would be making records. Luka is not a go getter, does not play off ball, NO DEFENSE, always looking to be bailed out by the Officials. The Officials are tired of his azzz period. These young guys are telling the Truth.
I think the point is LeBron is saying this man is trouble anytime he chooses. So LeBron and MJ feeling this way about Luka, is the biggest stamp-of-approval you can have these days
@@SorenHume Lol Lebrons probably done more for his community in one day than you have in your whole life man owns his own school but people stay focused on what they want to
@@BulkandCut2824 And yet you got people in the comments reacting as if his defense don't matter because all they want to say is, "LuKa WoUlD dRoP 50 oN tHeSe NoBoDiEs"
@@louismartineau1596 You’re wrong, Jokic is The Total Opposite of Luka period. I actually Love 💕 the Jokic’s Game. This was my 1st year watching him and he’s Awesome. I give credit where credit is due period.
@@louismartineau1596 Too Dam Long to know he’s overrated period. Luka does not take the NBA serious 🧐 He’s out of Shape (hurting Dallas and his Teammates) - you can’t play NBA on the fly. Forcing shit when it’s not necessary,selfish(don’t get teammates involved enough) - always crying to the Officials over BS and He doesn’t play DEFENSE at All. Just because you can score doesn’t make you a Great Player on the Court. Kyrie has given him the formula how to Win, let’s see if he uses it. I know Jokic is doing it and this is why they are in the finals. That Big Boy was running that court and doing all the big and little things to get his team involved, he knew he was going to get his and understands just getting his points will not be enough, so he sacrifice to get his teammates involved early…I hope you’re following me…this is called SELFLESSNESS period.
@@Randy-Bobandywhat he is trying to say is that luka has been playing pro grown man since he was like 15 year's old.. and he he was killing it 😅😅😅unreal
@@SoloLLC nah you can’t be a dude who aspires to be in the position of Luka and call him overrated. 33 PPG in the playoffs is NOT overrated. Just typical bums hating on the white guy cooking the league making it look easy 🤷♂️
@@jamesonedwardsii4943 WTH do you think Luka is???? That’s all y’all talk about is how many points his selfish azzz score this is why their azzzes didn’t make the playoffs because Luka wants a dam scoring title and not a championship….he knows the system and they don’t give a dam about your over all skills and whether you’re losing or winning….I challenge you to look 👀 at a full game of him…he caused Dallas several games and the playoffs
@@BlackLight_VAthey just want a white mf to be as good as black so they can say we not the best at everything that’s really what it comes down to subliminally Luka a great player overrated asf tho
Bruh America's desperate for the next Great 1 to take over, Bird,Magic, MJ, Kobe, LeBron,......but they aren't able to appreciate the fact that they are already here! Jokic, Luka, Wemby. The world has caught up and even surpassed us boy.
Bryan Greenlee. He's 26 years old playing college ball and for florida in 3 years, he averages 8.8 pts, 2.8 assists and 2.6 boards on 42% FG% and 66% FT%.
They'd be surprised to find out that Luka is better defensively than some of the other players think are better than him. He's ranked significantly higher than Ja, for example.
@@StrongMan2426 You give 95% of your energy on Offense, Especially when you running the offense, You gonna have to take breaks on D. It's the law of Physics. Lebron does the exact same thing. All Offensive Stars do.
Yes, he said it in an interview that he tired to play defense everytime that he saw a bad call from the ref and we see how he always argue with referees and stock on his head. He don't need to be an Elite defender just a decent one is okay. Great team defense is the key to win. Just like the Nuggets, only KCP is considered an elite defender but their team defense is great. There are teams have a multiple elite defender like Bucks but struggle to play Team D just what happened in the recent playoffs.
Funny how Luka is having his best defensive year this year. Dude is balling on both ends. The more focuses the more he’ll grow. Everyone said this version of luka was impossible..
this video aged beautifully, after so much hate given to these two professional athletes by the pathetic, the Celtics have shown that Luka is overrated for real
@@SoloLLC You know whats funny. I bet ya anything that your racist ass said "I KNOW DATS RIGHT". Right before you came back with "Nobody said that shit period". Admit the Truth. It will set ya free.
This more racist crap. They never going to give credit to the euro stars like jokic and luka. Jokic had to win 2 mvps and beat kd and booker in the playoffs to finally get where he is.
Complete joke how Embiid charmin boy got anywhere near the MVP over Jokic. Shame that Jokic and Luka get judged because they don’t look like 95% of basketball players.
His defense is actually super underrated. He's not quick or fast and certainly isn't a great defender but people act like he's the worst in the league yet he get's tons of steals and deflections and can block pretty much any guard in the league because of his size. In the 21-22 playoff run he finished 5nd in steals in playoffs (all 4 players with more steals played more games) and led all players in steals for almost the entire playoffs. He finished with 27 steals and 9 blocks in 15 games.
Out of 540 players in the NBA (2022/23 regular season), Luka was: #9 in defensive rebounds #28 in steals #30 in rebounds #113 in blocks Are those the stats of someone who doesn't play defense? Or do you not know what you're talking about?
@@leblubblab bro he sucks on defense stop lying to yourself, he has good defensive iq and good size but he's still a cone, maybe if he gave more effort he'll be decent
@@ericzz93 you either don't watch the games or are simply too stupid to understand what you're watching lol does he get beat by speed and quickness and do great players beat him off the dribble? Sure but that happens to everyone in the NBA, the main reason this looks so bad is because Dallas has absolutely no rim protection what so ever and there is never anyone home when he gets beat. This isn't really his fault and is an issue with the team, the roster construction and possibly coaching as well. The Mavericks front office clearly tried to adress the roster construction to add some interior defense this off-season, whether or not J Kidd can utilize the new pieces we will have to wait and see. Luka is still a decent defender with great awareness and hands, he lacks quickness, especially laterally but again this doesn't make him a terrible defender just is simply a weakness, he does well staying in front of people on the perimeter and has the length to get blocks, is always in good positions in passing lanes and if Dallas can protect them rim this will do wonders to help cover his only weakness on defense which is speed and lateral quickness which all oversized guards suffer from. The numbers don't lie, hes never going to be ALL-NBA defensively but he will consistently get tons of steals and a decent amount of blocks regardless of how many people cry about how bad he is.
@@thejeanyes12 It isn't crazy based on the reason he gave in the video. A lot of people only focus on his defense, which is evident in these comments. Giannis and Jokic both got criticized before they won a championship and the same thing is happening with Luka. People are finally pointing out a possible reason why he isn't at their level and why it will be hard for him to get there without fixing his flaws. Not crazy at all, perfectly logical.
@@ye87 What ain't a myth is how Russell Westbrook at 35 years of age blew past him for an easy layup and told everybody on the team, "Go at him!" Yeah he's a great defender.
His reasoning was “offence only”? Lmao 99.999999% of the point guards in the league is OFFENSE only. Curry is the biggest defensive liability every game, and LeBron always abused that. Who’d Kyrie guard? Even Durant has been offense only most of his career, and he gets some help defense blocks here and there because of his height. THAT CLOWN who just said “Luka overrated”, purely said that beyond his ignorant mindset and jealousy. Zero logic
@@andymardubas6564 BS - He is Overrated - shooting 99.99% of the time does not qualify you as a top 5 player PERIOD. That is just straight BS Period 💯🤞🏾💙
What a horrific take. Luka is a top 5 player ever from just 19-24 years old and I’ve been watching NBA (going to 30+ games yearly in great seats) since 1987!
Or a woman asked for their opinion and they gave theirs because they're being interviewed. NO ONE asked for your opinion and you're hating in RU-vid comments. Maybe one day you'll become important enough for someone to want to interview you too.
@@unbout8184 Are you going to read them all???? When I have something to say I will speak my mind, if you don’t like my Truth then stop reading my FACTS about overrated Luka period….weirdo
These guys are a couple of clueless knuckleheads if they think Luka is overrated. Doncic would leave these two guys shuffling off the court mumbling to themselves all the way to the locker room.
Luka Overrated??? In his 5 years, 4x all nba 1st team, 4x all star, broke too many records. Reach conference finals. Mr triple double.. Who the hell are you guys???
When I was watching Luka in the Euroleague as teenager, he was good, special but I never thought that he would make soo much show in the NBA. And I dont think that he is a bad defender, but he is not great either. But he can block you. In a team ypu need defenders and attackers.
Excuse me? I'd like to see you be the ppg leader in the nba and average almost a triple double every game Luka dropped 60 and carries a bad team every year
As a croatian, as teenager I use to spend summer on Island Krk, same island Luka was spending summer since this island is crowded with neighbors Slovenians. We were in the same village, played hoop together few times on open courtyard. By the time, 2014, we all knew he is famous because he is in Real Madrid. He is 1 year older than me and he was 2meters tall at 15. He was so lazy playing the game until we saw he is that good that he could easily dunk and shot 3points as much as easy. Until he accelerate himself at one moment, he shut 10/10 3pt in a row, 9/10 dunks in a row and nobody could stop him, not even close.
So you want to know who this guy is? The guy calling Luka "Overrated" is Bryan Greenlee. Bryan Greenlee is a 6 foot 0 inches guard that plays for Florida Atlantic. Bryan Greenlee is 26 years old. He averages 8.8 ppg, 2.8 apg and 2.6 boards. He shoots 66% from the free throw line. He also shoots 42% from the field. This is the guy that is calling Luka "Overrated" 😅😂😅
@@BlackLight_VA To say Luka is a terrible defender is just not true. Advanced statistics will tell you that. Luka's size probably helps him be an average defender at best. He isn't good on the perimeter but he's able to get steals, get def rebounds and alter some shots purely because of size. He only needs to be ok at defense when his offense is that good.
@@JuicyCharon I never said he was a terrible defender but I see a lot of people saying, "LuKa WoUlD dRoP 50 oN tHeSe NoBoDiEs" without arguing the man's point about defense at all. He feels Luka is overrated because people only focus on his offense and he's obviously right about people doing that. He's entitled to his opinion of whether or not Luka overrated, but there's a bunch of nobodies in the comments complaining about the OPINION of someone they consider a nobody. Got to love it.
Heres a reminder that Luka played professional basketball for 2 years straight non stop with no actual offseason. He played in the 2020 bubble in September/October, then started training camp almost immediately after in November then started the 2021 season on Christmas, then played in the Olympics in Tokyo where he averaged 24/10/9, then went straight to training camp and started the 2022 season where he averaged 28/9/8 (30/10/9 after January 1st) and made it to the Western Conference Finals after pantsing CP3 and Devin Booker, then went and played for Slovenia in Eurobasket even beating out Jokic and Serbia, then went straight back to the 2023 season averaging 32/9/8. And people out here questioning his work ethic? Hilarious.
How is he overrated? If you put luka in the top 5-10 in the league rn that is perfectly rated. I hear no one talk about he’s a top 3 players currently. His second best player (kyrie) is literally only offense and never wins anything outside of lebron… so people forget what luka was doing to the clippers in the playoffs? Or what he did to the suns just 2 years ago? Y’all praise steph and curry then hate on luka? It’s not possible to be overrated then go out and drop 60 20 and 10…. These people are crazy. If you wanna @ me then come at me with facts then. Luka has been him since he was 16. Y’all saying “what has he won” sound corny asf. You know how old Jordan was when he got his first title? How old lebron was? How old steph was? KD? Hakeem? Y’all praise Dame but what has he won exactly? Y’all can’t flip both ways🤣🤣
@@BlackLight_VA 4 months too late buddy and neither did magic. That make luka, steph, Trae, Jokic, harden ect overrated? Nah luka just dropped 44 6 6 and is a top 3 mvp candidate so far. You pay attention.
