[Highlight] Jarred Vanderbilt followed Luka Doncic to every ref he went up to at the end of the 1st half.
Vando’s new defensive assignment.
That would drive Luka fucking crazy if at the end of every rant you just went to the ref and said “Please disregard everything this man just said.”
“He didn’t mean that he just gets himself a little worked up”
Yea, but he’s our psycho.
“Your honor, my client is clearly insane”
Vanderbilt, Attorney at Law
“Your honor, per Jacobson v. United States, 503 U.S. 540, 548 (1992), this statement was clearly obtained via entrapment and should be disregarded”
— Jarred Vanderbilt
May as well provide value for money since he’s out of the rotation
Vando “all-defensive 1st” Vanderbilt tape

Better Call Vando
This is unironically how you maintain a long career as a bench / third string guy
Kyle Lowry did this earlier this year when Maxey was yelling at the ref, he came over and was like “go get back in the game, I’ll handle this”
Luka is a tech from a suspension and Lakers play the rockets again tomorrow. Just smart to avoid that, these games against conference rivals are extra important.
He should probably get a tech against Rockets next game and just sit out the b2b against Miami so he doesnt get suspended for any non b2b games.
It doesn’t work like that. It gets worse the more Ts you collect. It’s not champions league football to just reset your yellow cards
Well technically it “resets” to two infractions away after serving the suspension instead of hovering at one. So there is some tactical room, if you will.
Not really, Luka has 15 techs on the season and you get suspended for every other tech starting with the 16th. So if he gets the 16th tomorrow and is suspended for the Miami game, he’ll have a one-tech buffer before the next suspension
Whatever Dorian Finney Smith did 6 years ago to start hitting threes, Vando needs to go on some summer long psychoactive sabbatical to do some voodoo and absorb that ability.
Doe was a solid shooter in college (36.2% on 511 attempts). Even shot 42.6% from 3 as a Jr.
Vando was 0-1 from 3 in college.
Dude I would love to be the “he’s just playing… you know he’s just playing ref” guy. I’ll do it for the vet minimum
I’ll do it for whatever the average salary is in US or LA or tbh any team in the NBA plus I get to travel with the team and watch basketball close up. I am sure the benefits would be great as well, hotels, meals, obviously the gym and whatever facilities.
I’ll do it for slightly less than this guy if any hiring managers are in this thread ready to make an offer
I’d do it from even less but I’m in the UK so would have to be remote. You’ll save a fortune in travel expenses tho and I wouldn’t have to quit my job.
I’ll do it for free but just let me have one of LeBron’s sweaty towels every now and then
We accept your offer. DM me your email, and we’ll have HR get in contact with you.
Everybody should have a coworker like Jarred. They should introduce a special award for him “Defensive Offensive Foul Player of the Year”.
NBA Peace Prize
Jarred World Peace
just call it special teams player of the team
Now this is true defense that wins championships lmao
Defense that protects that bank account lol
Vanderbilt probably a slightly better defender than I am but I’d do this job for much cheaper
Luka has to like you for you to qualify
If you’re a top ranked Overwatch player that might help your case
Having played overwatch a lot for its first couple years, it actually is likely to make another overwatch player like you less.
damn that pass was slick lol
I feel like we hardly ever see a behind the back bounce pass.
I’ve seen Bron, Luka and Jokic do this all the time
You should watch Nuggets games you’ll see one every few games
Harden does this every game
Luka can legit have a career highlight off of bricked assists
Luka handler
lmfao I was just gonna say this. he’s fr Lukas unofficial handler🤣
Need the clip of him sliding up and putting a beer into Luka’s hands.
This is A Key and Peele skit waiting to happen.
RDCworld is making one as we speak.
The reverse of the Obama anger translator. Translating salt back into calm discourse
Vando stays being a lock down defender
Send this guy to the Middle East and it’s solved in a week.
Assistant player of the year right there.
even if you’re not on the floor, still finding a way to contribute to winning basketball.
Glue guy
Lawyer making sure his client doesn’t say anything incriminating
Vandolorian.
Vandobuilt different
Guiness World record for most expensive babysitter
Luka got his own translator, but the nice version. Key& Peele would be proud
that’s one way to get your steps in
He’s trying to become the new maxi
He’s like the guy on the Rams sideline whose sole purpose is to keep McVay off the field.
Luka : “Ref you suck” Jarred : “Ref, that’s Slovenian for “you are gifted with the greatest talents; and should get a raise if not a promotion””
Vando is Mercy to Luka’s Hanzo.
that flop by marcus smart is actually hilarious
Can anyone explain the bloody footprint?
Someone from an opposing team should shadow Luka like the for a whole game.
The suspension resets in the playoffs yeah?
He gets in between JJ and Luka, too. He’s a real one
He need to get his next tech out the way so that suspension don’t happen in the playoffs. (Idk if they transfer to the postseason.)
They don’t and they don’t reset in the regular season either lmao. So no point in “getting them out of the way.”
Behind the back bounce pass?? Tf kinda accurate witchcraft is that?
Imagine being such a fucking baby bitch in real life that you need a grown man to babysit your dumb ass.
NBA version of the “get back coach” in the NFL
THEY CALL HIM:
the peacemaker
Talent at de-esc
I wonder if he took it upon himself or did coach say when Luka goes to the ref you shadow him lol
Better idea. Every team should have their best debater on the bench follow Luka to the ref and immediately start talking over him. Luka will get more pissed. The ref will get more pissed and this shit will get shut down real quick.
Luka 😭 to every ref
What happened to the game I loved…
I’m getting frustrated that this is just Luka’s routine now. And I have no interested in the Lakers. Half is over, time to make the rounds with each ref and complain? Come on man. Lock in.
Now? Luke been my favorite player since his rookie year, and even I can admit that this is just who he is. Its a gift and a curse. Do him wrong in his mind, and he’ll speak his mind. It leads to some of the best trash talking in the league, and his constant complaining.
I’ve been stubbornly defending this dude for years, but i draw the line at needing a fuckin babysitter for when you talk to the refs. Come on dawg.
at least he’s not shoving aside security to get to a ref and proceeding to cry on twitter
Ooof
Yeah he should just load up his twitch streams instead to bitch about refs.
Difference is JB’s complaints are justified.
y’all defending him like your team aint fuckin sorry as hell is even sadder
Literally a 2 game difference between the Celtics and lakers all while the Celtics have an insanely deeper team in a easier conference. Lmao. lol even
And, ya know, their perennial all nba 1st team player out almost all season.
Guarantee you predicted the Celtics to be a lottery team.
Average celtics fan behavior
You’re a first round exit outside of the mickey mouse participation trophy conference just fyi
Ah yes the Lakers and the Rockets are scary teams in the playoffs.
Lakers fan saying mickey mouse participation trophy when they got a participation trophy in mickey’s literal house is ironic
Oh no! You’re drawing a line? Damn it!
He was exactly at 15 techs for two seasons in the Mavs. I think Luka just uses it as a ref complaint pass. Now having reached the 15 limit he is different and doesn’t complain that much to avoid the 16th tech till the end of regular season.
Then he will get it for some uncalled shit and we’ll be back again :D
Okay
I’ll be honest. I drew the line at playing for the Lakers. (Except for Smart and Rondo. They had special dispensation.)
