With how people talk about him youd think hes been mega ass lmao

I’m confused why people have been saying he’s inefficient this year. Sure there’s like 3 players in the entire league who are anywhere close to his level of volume who are more efficient but that’s it

People a couple of weeks ago were comparing him to wizards Westbrook who was at 50 TS% on 20 ppg lmao

They be twerking when he had 1 off night and dead silent tonight

Luka’s never going to be a consistently high efficient FG shooter because he simply takes riskier shots than virtually every other star in the league

If anything I always found it incredible that he’s so efficient given his so to shot is a 1k dribble step back that would be considered a heat check for any other player in the league

He’s been top 3 in MVP voting the entire season and people act like he’s been horrid. The Laker’s got exactly the player they traded for. The good and the bad.

i still have him ova sga

They will lose their minds if Steph have a season like this lol.

People talk about no defense, empty stats, etc and Luka just out here life “parry this 40 piece you casuals”

He doesn’t have a small margin of error when the team is healthy. I swear I’ve never seen a team get as much shit for a rough stretch with a star out as the Lakers since Austin got injured

hE iS a liAbiLiTy oN dEfeNce. 😂 Haters gonna hate. 🥳

Because people don’t watch games.

Yeah, the dude who took the first ever decent team he’s ever had to the Finals suddenly forgot how to play basketball. Makes sense.

At worst he’s a top 4 player man. Wemby has not even played a game in the playoffs yet.

Look at who was out during his “bad games”

There were like 10 games in a row where Rui, Vincent & Reaves missed some combination of 8 of those games.

Yeah Luka getting doubled and having to feed the ball to LeBron constantly (which in turn lead to Bron’s yearly “resurgence”) or being forced to turn LaRavia from a few minutes a game kind of guy (last year) to being a critical 2 way player and you kinda get what anyone would expect.

I don’t love the team as a whole, think there’s some pretty big gaps, but at least judge Luka on the healthy games not the hospital ones.

SGA would have to miss the 65 game threshold

Lakers going on a Clippers style 15-3 style run.

I can see it happen if Lakers go on a hot streak while OKC remains lukewarm towards the end of the season. Though, it’s definitely a long shot.

There’s a higher chance SGA gets unanimous than of Luka getting MVP

Honestly, it’d have to take something drastic with the two team records which feels virtually impossible.

It would take Shai getting injured or okc somehow ending under 60 wins with a giant Shai fall off(not happening)

Lakers getting the second seed would be a damn good case for him

I’m guessing Lakers winning against OKC and maybe carrying them to 2nd place in the west while putting insane numbers, both are just near impossible with the current roster.

I think if they lose they’re standing and lakers before the first seed

The defense narrative is too big to overcome.

Lakers have to have a better bet rating and being in No man’s land of not great but not terrible

They didn’t forget, they were just foaming at the mouth for him to not be that guy anymore.

”This sub” in this context is Oklahoma dudes attacking relentlessly anyone who they think is competing with SGA.

complaining on efficiency and they compare him to the inefficient poster boy

Delusional Pistons fans. Rookie Luka is better than the best version of Cade

There’s two sides of the ball

His defensive CUM which measures volume defense and quality, is the lowest since 1963 or something.

Still can’t believe they invented a defensive stat to shit on him. Prime hating.

The first player to complain of not wanting to take his jersey off on the court to show his body then the next game wears an undershirt

That has been my point for a whole year. The top 4 is set in place and they are a whole tier ahead currently of other stars like ANT, Cade and Brown (no shade to any of them).

absolutely, lwk he’s comfortably top 3, the storylines this year have been sickening

You just throw your hands up and say “how do we guard him”

Very very streaky tho, as predicted, he missed a lot of FT’s…

And its not just that but he also took like 2 logo 3s and at least 1 grenade at the end there. The thing about this guy is when he is winning and shooting well, he’ll shoot some dumbass 3s which will bring his % down lol

Crazy even on the lakers sub you’d get all these complaints on his passes and 3pt shooting

You don’t have to forget it bro, they’ll be back next game.

A crazy typo by me more like it.

I didnt see him miss.

Oh wait. I was watching a highlight reel. LMAO

If you believe that please go bet actually money on it you would win a lot

Luka isn’t a voter, he can say whatever

If he is hitting 3’s and making clean passes, it is about as elite as it gets.

Only 1 player on the plenty can touch his ability when he’s on and it sure as hell isn’t a dude from Canada

That was my bad lol, it was ¹⁵⁄₂₅ and my butter fingers did a typo.

It is possible to root for your own team and other players as well. Some of us just love good basketball.

He is an elite player and had an amazing game.
