It got tiring listening to them. For once Kenny was the voice of reason. Luka would’ve cooked anyone, Dikembe, Ben Wallace and anyone else would’ve gotten cooked by him
Yeah he’s really taking the Gobert hate to an obnoxious level. Interestingly enough, when I’ve listened to his podcast he doesn’t spew bs like this. I’ll be upset if he embraces the brain rot and we have to watch another Kendrick Perkins in the media.
There is nobody, Nobody, Luka loves humiliating more than Rudy. You could make a highlight reel of nothing but Luka shaming Gobert's entire bloodline. Luka's got that bully killer instinct when he sees Gobert's nerdass. The day Luka saw Rudy post that Dragon he painted on Insta it was blood in the water.
Especially after things got heated between them earlier in the game when Rudy stopped a Luka fast break with a fisted arm bar. Luka was NOT ever in any multiverse going to miss that shot
The list apparently was for becoming the face of the league and included marketability and other factors. Still do not understand how Luka is not right behind Wemby, if not number 1.
I think he’s just being nice cus that’s the only real possible argument. The other two are clearly nowhere near yet. He obviously thinks that’s bullshit.
Luka has already been good for so long that people are bored. Even Wemby, who's gonna be insane, shouldn't be over Luka given the body of work. At minimum he's a walking offense that goes insane in the playoffs
Wemby I can understand given his upside and age, but the others should not be ahead of Luka. 5 all nba first teams, career averages of 28.7/8.7/8.3 and 31 PPG in the playoffs, coming off of a 34/9/9 year. He’s a legend in the making.
Ant can't leave Kyrie wide open though. If anything, I'd put it on McDaniels or Naz Reid, as Naz was just sitting alone in the paint and McDaniels wound up essentially doubling Lively instead of handing him off/helping when Lively went into the paint. But really, with Naz just sitting in the paint, Gobert shouldn't have bitten back so far and should have pressed up, knowing there was help underneath if Luka did drive. It's just terrible team defense.
No one in the NBA can guard his 'left to right between the legs' dribble, but a center like gobert even less, the outcome was obvious it's just a matter if the shot would fall or not.
It's crazy how fast people took Luka for granted. This dude is so good and never afraid of the moment. Him and wemby are the only ones under 25 who has the potential to crack top 10 of all time.
I don't get why they didn't double team him and blitz him off the 3. I'd settle for the 2 and OT than losing the game. Just doesnt make any sense to me. Like you said, everyone saw that coming.
Wolves coaching has been shitting the bed in the WCF. They're letting ANT run the offense instead of sticking to what made them successful all season long.
Left the tallest player in the world on an absolute island on the perimeter with the best player left in the playoffs. Everyone knew a step back was coming once Gobert switched on him. And there was nothing Rudy could’ve done except watch lol.
This might not go down well, but DJJ is every bit as athletic as Ant. He’s matching his physicality and has great length + lateral movement. Ant is generational and he will beat him time to time but he hasn’t really shown much of a mid game. SGA was solid last round because he has an amazing Middy.
