“If this is Draymond Green, it's not getting rescinded.”
- DeMarcus Cousins on the NBA rescinding Luka’s technical foul
(Via Run It Back)

@BrandonRahbar Literally won the western conference player of the month. But sure go ahead with the March Valuable Player jibe.

@SGAJDYBANTSA @realapp Did you had issue with SGA’s NBA Finals efficiency?
English
@ruka_mikami @XPJHX1 Luka had these stretches before but main stream media never glazed him this hard. Some calls were made but at least he is getting some recognition and he well deserved.
English
@Asmoove114 @winigoat7 OKC were favourites to win. Luka and company packed their asses in 6.
English
@winigoat7 Luka played us when we had 0 playoff experience and Shai outplayed him no so we chillin
English
Luka is 1-0 vs Shai in playoffs and 1-1 vs Ant 😂😂😂😂

@iztok_franko Effectiveness >> Efficiency. Stats nerds are ruining this game.
English
I think the under looked part of efficiency is efficiency of teammates shots. Luka takes and makes tough shots but creates the best quality looks for his teammates.
The gap between eFG% on passes by Luka(61.1%) & SGA (57.4%) is bigger than the gap in their shooting efficiency.
Andy Bailey@AndrewDBailey
If Luka Dončić keeps up his level of play from the last couple weeks over the rest of the season, and the Lakers finish in the mid-50s, his MVP argument is going to be strong. There's a significant efficiency gap between him and SGA, but I think he can make up for it with the volume of his playmaking.

Is it me or is Luka slowly starting to grow on James Worthy?
Hard earned respect of the #LakeShow legend💪

James Worthy on Luka Dončić tying his Lakers 30-point game mark with 52: “But I just want to clarify something. Luka’s got that as a Laker. It took me 14 years. He’s got his in a year and a half.”
English
@LBJgoat_talk @MediJo20 @twnkiehuntr He is most of the time doubled/tripled on the final possession.
English
@MediJo20 @twnkiehuntr Wow that’s crazy… even crazier that it’s been 4 years…why won’t Luka take a late game shot??
English
@frankmikesmith It’s a grown men game. It would have been soft as hell if they called this a push off.
English
Luka Doncic game winner is one of the clearest push offs you’ll ever see. Broadcast showed 4 different angles and didn’t mention it once

@MarzTalksSports Kids these days don’t know that fear the beard was an actual thing.

With all due respect this isnt particularly close

Who’s a better isolation scorer: SGA or James Harden

It’s easier to be consistent when you are surrounded by quality players in a system that matches your play style. Luka, on the other hand, has been carrying the offense, and still producing elite numbers regardless of the roster around him. Roster advantage has to be mentioned when comparing them. Lakers were projected to win around 48 games. Luka is over delivering at the same time under appreciated.
English
this is just a straight up lie
i encourage laker fans to really start paying attention to who is being honest about this team and the players

The idea that Luka has been snubbed for MVP because of media bias is not based in reality. One of the biggest things I’ve noticed with Luka stans in particular is that they want Luka to be regarded as the best player in the world without him meeting the enormous standard that comes with that recognition.

So here would be my pushback. The two guys we compare him most to are Shai and Jokic. (I’d also argue, to your point, that those are the only two guys who get “put above him”)
I agree that Luka gets criticism for a lot of things that Jokic gets away with (and I use that broadly because I’ve called Jokic out for his poor play at times this year). But Jokic is a champion. He’s literally hoisted the trophy, and he’s now in his early 30s, where most stars start to take more regular season time off. Also, no one is saying Jokic should be MVP this season for the same reasons Luka is not MVP.
Shai is actually a better comp because they’re a similar age. Shai has a level of consistency in his intensity night to night, and particularly his focus on limiting or addressing his flaws that Luka doesn’t have.
To me that’s the standard. Consistent intensity night to night. Imagine 26 year old LeBron James having as many nights as Luka has had where he comes out flat over the course of 82. Where he’s settling for super tough shots and complaining at the refs and just not playing very hard.
Another way to put it is Luka’s floor is just crazy low compared to a lot of the guys who have gotten MVPs or “best player in the world” recognition.
I think as soon as Luka adopts that level of night to night seriousness he will win MVP, and he’ll get that recognition. I’m okay with that being the standard.
English
I would argue Luka actually gets held to a higher standard than A LOT of players who get compared or put above him. Which is why a lot of his supporters get annoyed. His flaws are scrutinized in ways most other stars aren’t while his genius is taken for granted.

Most ethical 70+ point games ever:

@drenchmansports @CosbyOutOnBail Even Rob knows they don’t have a real shot at the championship this season. That’s why he didn’t trade any of their picks for a win-now move. The only way the Lakers win the chip is if Luka and Reaves go supernova in the playoffs
English
@CosbyOutOnBail 2 games out of the 7th lol big picture tho.. hurt they championship chances
English
I think we need to have a real conversation about Luka Dončić and his shot selection.
He makes some incredible shots… but sometimes the timing of them kills the possession.
When the Los Angeles Lakers actually run the offense and use Luka off the ball, the team looks completely different.
***Film breakdown.

I was told people came because they were offered biriyani. Just saying.
