His post game and size makes him a bit more consistent than Harden.

Unfortunately didn’t have both of their durability

Prime Harden is still the better player and playmaker

Honestly I hoped. Then that hope went crashing down as we saw how better Celtics were in every aspect lol

Tbf that dallas was built almost perfectly around luka as well. Completely insulated him defensively for the most part w a secondary creator in kyrie. Tons of lob threats. Just ran into a historically synergistic celtics team that was a horrible matchup for him.

Shoutout to nico for blowing it up tho very cool of him

Sure, during Luka’s 1st and 2nd trips ever to the postseason. Bravo. He still averaged the most playoff ppg in history during those series

Kawhi was just otherworldly in that 2021 series, but Luka was destroying the Clips as well. Feel like they both averaged over 30 with insane splits

Kawhi had prime Bron cursing cause he checked into the game, idk what “being handled” by one of the best perimeter defenders of all time is supposed to say about Luka

I like how the focus of that series is always Luka when Kyrie literally faded out of existence the whole series. People should go back and watch that whole series instead of highlights or hot takes.

“Expose” was still the best player of his team by far and the only one doing something offensively while everybody else disappeared.

With another 24 seasons in the NBA, I’m confident he can win another world war or 2

And this guy has a decent amount of upvotes just straight up lying. Pretty accurate picture of the nephews on this subreddit

Not accounting the heat series he is 6th now dete this comment

His workload has always been too high trying to carry poorly built or injured teams. Luka starting a season healthy with an actual balanced squad would probably be fine outside of freak injuries, but we might not ever see it.

It doesn’t make sense. He’s only had 1 contending level roster and he made the finals and faced an all time Celtics roster while he was injured

His Stan’s are worse than chokics

Basketball discourse sucks

The team that won a title without beating a team that won more than 50 games? They sound like frauds.

Ooop misread it; my bad.

Yep. That loss is what made them go all in and add Porzingis and Jrue to an already stacked roster

They had the 3rd most dominant playoff run of the century, I think it’s fair to at least have them as an all-time 21st century championship team.

How are they not all time? With Porzingis how are you guarding them when they play 5 out? Unless you have a Wemby most teams aren’t equipped to deal with that

Now do MVPs and rings.

He lives in a fantasy world where if Steph got drafted to a shitty franchise like Wizards suddenly it would be Stephs fault if he didn’t win a ring there

Or he’s just being disingenuous to take a shot at Luka because he’s a crybaby Steph fan mad Luka’s been better for 3+ years now

The regularity with which they reach the late stages of the playoffs is impressive and there’s definitely an argument that Tatum is the most underappreciated star of this era, but obviously there are a bunch of stars who have made many Finals: Kawhi, Curry, LeBron, and KD.

Jokic, Giannis, and Shai have the advantage of actually winning a Finals instead of getting a 4-1 participation trophy. That’s a clear differentiator, even if they’ve only been once so far.

Wemby and Shai have surpassed Luka and closed his window basically. They’re likely to battle for the WCF these next few years barring injury interference.

Even Booker and Jimmy have been closer to a ring than Luka. His achievements are underwhelming for an alleged tier 1 superstar.

You’re close to the epiphany.

A team built around Luka will never be good enough to win the top seed.

If you need the perfect roster around you to win, you’re not elite.

There’s been a ton of blowouts bro

We legit just had a 60 point blowout

Congrats, he sent one of the youngest teams ever home. He has zero hardware - no MVP, no championship - yet that team came back and won it all the next year. SGA is the best player alive right now, stay mad.

You’re the funniest Luka stan in all of reddit man, just hilarious is all.

Judging from their roster sometimes it seems like we still have segregation

Lol you said what you said. If you meant don’t put down players to uplift others don’t say bs like Luka won’t like you putting down his bestie. Why does any of us give a shit what Luka likes or doesn’t like?
