@TheHoopCentral On one leg

ANTHONY EDWARDS TONIGHT: 30 POINTS 10 REBOUNDS 2 ASSISTS 2 BLOCKS 40 MINUTES

Again Jokic cannot play defense as amazing as an offensive talent that he is.

@LegendOfWinning Not responding to this anymore if Luka ever makes any defensive teams or stops getting hunted on defense I’ll switch my stance.. he can always give more effort and get more in shape/stronger to improve

@LegendOfWinning Luka doesn’t play defense though.. it’s literally whoever offense on him.. the whole lakers squad to be exact except smart

Nearing 24 hours and he is still arguing Luka defense like he actually watches games

@receptionlivid @Cvpitalzz @LegendOfWinning Ive been watching luka since he first got to the league, my hs varsity coach used to say he was going to better than all my favorite players at the time (based off his Europe highlights) and had to see what he was talking about.. he definitely surpassed the hype

@Cvpitalzz @theNBAPost @LegendOfWinning Nah that take was around long before the lakers for Luka.

@RainMaker423 @bball824 @LegendOfWinning Only time I’ve ever sat and watched anything other than offense highlights are freak athletic college players who get crazy blocks or just wembys intimidating defense..

@bball824 @theNBAPost @LegendOfWinning You can put together 20 second clips to make anyone look bad for almost every game.

@iBetOnLuka @Cvpitalzz @LegendOfWinning Lmaoo u pressed for what, for one I still know more ball than you, two Im better than you at ball, and 3 life skills/intelligence, I’m doing pretty decent in life, so not sure how you made the assumption unless your a troll who just dickrides 3 people who’ll never know you exist

@theNBAPost @Cvpitalzz @LegendOfWinning I promise I know ball - translating * ** - I am a retard with no life skills and no tangible intelligence so I claim my takes are correct only by asserting my pretend knowledge.

@Madamadamada58 @Cvpitalzz @LegendOfWinning Than both of yall

@theNBAPost @Cvpitalzz @LegendOfWinning No you don’t

@Cvpitalzz @LegendOfWinning I promise Ik a lot more ball than you man

@theNBAPost @LegendOfWinning Your basketball knowledge is simply Twitter takes.

@zeghiro @jaredtyrelpls @LegendOfWinning Well yeah he also had one of the best records in the league, it’s still tough to beat those 3 if you’re not atleast a top 2 seed..

@theNBAPost @jaredtyrelpls @LegendOfWinning My point is these idiots called Harden ass for a decade but now wanna act like Luka plays defense Prime Harden would’ve still won MVP this year fwiw, because he actually had his team as the best in the league

@zeghiro @jaredtyrelpls @LegendOfWinning Nope not at all, harden also didn’t compete with Jokic SGA and Wemby for mvp that season

@jaredtyrelpls @theNBAPost @LegendOfWinning So prime Harden was a good defender after all

@PritiKothari @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning You asked me to show you and I did.. regardless I won’t consider Luka a good defender unless we can actually see him make impactful stops on ball when it matters, and just cuz okc team is good defensively doesn’t mean SGA isn’t a good defender

@theNBAPost @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning Cool story, bro. His whole team can play football defense and are in the refs pockets. The refs wear his shoes. Anyways, I'm done with you because you absolutely do not watch Laker games. Enjoy your false media driven narrative. Off to bed I go.

@jaredtyrelpls @ITACH1UCHIHA9 @LegendOfWinning You also have to consider what their up against, all those players you mentioned aren’t great defenders and those were always brought up to diminish their mvp seasons, but based off the stats, team record, and other mvp candidates, they usually were the clear winners

@theNBAPost @ITACH1UCHIHA9 @LegendOfWinning My problem with everyone riding the "Luka not good enough to be MVP" train is that they use defense as an argument when there have been equally "bad" defenders, like Harden and Curry, who have won it. Thats my point.

@jaredtyrelpls @ITACH1UCHIHA9 @LegendOfWinning If lakers had the best record in the league you don’t think Luka would finish atleast top 2 in voting?

@PritiKothari @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning Like I said Jokic isn’t a great defender. SGA has finished top 10 for DPOY twice according to Grok, which I didn’t even know but isn’t surprising due to the eye test

@theNBAPost @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning Still not showing me when SGA and Joker were nommed. And you've gotta be dense as hell to not see the clear hatred and bias in the media against Luka. It's been happening since he was in Dallas. They absolutely do not like him. Negative headline after negative headline for him

@ITACH1UCHIHA9 @jaredtyrelpls @LegendOfWinning Steph is my favorite of all time and actually led the league in steals, I still considered him a bad defender.. he’d gotten stronger as of late and it’s made him slightly better but that’s not saying a lot..

@jaredtyrelpls @theNBAPost @LegendOfWinning Harden and curry were considered bad defenders and were top 5 in steals at one point

@PritiKothari @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning Jokic doesn’t play good defense, but he’s a top 3 seed and obv averages a triple double, why wouldn’t he be over Luka? SGA is definitely a better defender regardless of dpom nominations.. Steph has had goalposts moved his entire career so I’ll stop now cuz Ik u don’t know ball

@theNBAPost @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning You literally said he doesn't play defense AT ALL and yet Luka was nommed for DPOM. Again, show me where SGA and Jokic were nommed. They weren't. Goalposts are never moved for them or Curry but they ALWAYS are for Luka.

@PritiKothari @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning I don’t understand how they can have a bias against him, he plays in one of the most profitable markets in the league and is truly one of the best offensively players we’ve ever seen, that doesn’t mean we have to lie and act like he’s a good defender

@theNBAPost @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning The voters have an inherent bias against him. Just like you do. You cannot with a straight face tell me you've been watching games & that he's not a good on-ball defender when he's been playing average to good defense all season. Show me when SGA or Jokic were nominated for DPOM.

@PritiKothari @2KWRLDWIDE @LegendOfWinning I’m not pressed to respond cuz I got other shit other than Twitter but Steph curry has lead the league in steals and has prob been nomm bc of that.. I mention this bc he is my favorite of all time, but I’ve never considered him a good defender

@2KWRLDWIDE @theNBAPost @LegendOfWinning keeps replying to himself though, he thinks he's the brightest bulb lol. You've gotta be pretty damn good at defense to be nommed DPOM but this mfer still keeps replying to himself that Luka plays NO defense. Perk/SAS/Windy/Brou/Nichols make shit up and everyone stupidly follows

@2KWRLDWIDE @PritiKothari @LegendOfWinning I’ve been commenting on this entire post, those same nba voters don’t have him as an mvp finalist, so what are we really talking about then? Im see that the final month of the season that he was considered for dpom? I love watching Luka play but he’s not a good on-ball defender

@PritiKothari @theNBAPost @LegendOfWinning crickets from him lmfao

@jaredtyrelpls @LegendOfWinning Listen man, defense possessions with the game on the line or whenever the other team goes on a run matters more than playing passing lanes or getting the occasional back tap

@theNBAPost @LegendOfWinning 6th in steals this year but ahhh i forgot he doesnt play defense my bad.
