Amateur: Luke Donkey Is Not The Next Me

[horseshue]

Without porzingis mavs are a lottery team.

[Killakobe81]

Pace of play greenlight whatever you wanna call but when 25 5 and 5 is an off night even with six turnovers you are legit.
Plus he owned it in the press conference didn't blame refs (directly but did imply he has to better handle bad or no calls)
He is a brat but he only 20 he ss scary good prodigy now and only getting better.

Say that again?

[horseshue]

Dubs, Kings and guests is what they won. Ok, mavs are still better spurs, so lottery team was an overstatement from me.

Donkey passed up on a game tying / lead taking three a couple times very late against the Clippers; and his teammate bricked the three.

The one that I clearly remember, he was passing up on a straight-on three from a few feet behind the line to pass to a guy at the line for the angled three.

Could that have been the higher percent three and the sign of an unselfish player / smart player? That can be argued. But I don't see MJ or Bird passing up on such shots usually.

if he took the 3 and another guy was open the talk would be how he's selfish, so there is no win for him in this.

Both were open. Donkey decided he wasn't the guy for the job.

Yeah, because he hasnt hit plenty of clutch shots already out of all the things you can criticize him for being afraid of the moment is one of the dumbest you could pick tbh

[Aspergtacular]

he's a choker i knews it all along...ive got it all figured out, i so smart everyone else dumb hehehehehe

[Spurtacular]

Basketball fans are racist though so we have to compare him to other whites tbqh.

TBF, OP kind of saying to not compare.

[lefty]

Lol his « clutch shots » were made when his team was already leading by a couple of points

That ain’t pressure

[somerset]

Luka will be better than bird.

Talented, but has that get gene, so no

[somerset]

No clue what a get gene is. What is the get gene? Something you have? Is that something to do with that actor you have as your avatar? He started off great then disappeared. Are you worried Luka has already peaked at 20 and will follow in his footsteps of being irrelevant after one successful movie?

Hating on a 29, 10 & 9 guy in his second year, leading his team pretty much by himself into a playoff spot in the west is just re ed. I thought people here were smarter than skip bayless, but I guess I was wrong.

He's got to be top 3 in usage rate if I had to guess. It's legit nothing special on a statistical level.

But don't get me wrong; Donkey is a top 10 NBA player right now. I enjoy watching him and all.

I question whether he is that good of a shooter or a byproduct of current NBA spacing. 78 FT, man? Come on now.

Russell Westbrook was putting up better numbers in OKC; we all know what certain ball hogs can do in this league in the right situation.

Westbrook had the stats, but he is just a dumbass with a low basketball IQ, while Luka looks like one of the smartest players in the NBA already.

[Killakobe81]

Luka sure looking Like Bird whenever he plays the Spurs ...

Cool we won

Doncic like Curry before him is a product of no hand checking. That pile of pudge would've got his ass handed to him in the 80's and 90's.
