Wouldn’t surprise me if this is how a lot of Euros feel coming to the NBA.
Luka got Dennis Smith Jr out of Dallas very quickly then had Cuban rip him that he wasn’t fundamentally sound enough to play for the Mavs. He represented an AAU culture that they don’t like. AKA too urban
Luka didn't have DSJ traded, DSJ wasn't good and was part of the Porzingis trade. DSJ doesn't even get minutes on the Knicks... I do think that Cuban is an a$$hole with racist ideologies.
DSJ sucks and the AAU culture is horrible for basketball which is why Kobe spoke against it
But Dennis Smith is legit trash though.
Just watched the vid. So basically Marbury derailed his career. To sum it up, he didn't want to play with a shoot first PG, Ai, which is why he asked the sixers not to draft him but they did anyway and he was immediately traded to the nets... He beasted by scoring 19 ppg and 21 ppg in his first two seasons showing that he was on his way to being a great player but his 3rd year the nets got Marbury, who had a very similar play style to Ai which Keith didn't want to play with and his career was never the same. I think ultimately he just didn't wanna play with the guards who had that Streetball element to their game. Ai, Marbury, Francis etc
No clue what you talking about.
And that’s the only response your weird a$s gonna get from me
I'm weird but you blaming Luka for this man being garbage. He had plenty of chances to prove he was good on the Knicks. You do this same caping for Andrew Wiggins. You gotta be the lamest n1gga in this section
I gotta watch the vid, but if that’s true why didn’t he flourish playing with Kidd? It’s like him and Kittles fell off the planet after the ‘98 season. Maybe injuries got the best of them once Kidd arrived, coupled with the addition of RJ and KMart.
Luka took control as PG. There wasn’t room for 2 “point guards” and it still isn’t unless it’s someone like Dragic who has experience with Luka. Nobody foresaw Luka being as ball dominant as a Harden or Westbrook.
And DSJ isn’t even on the Knicks. I’m not sure what the future holds for him because it’s extremely hard to get another opportunity as a starting PG once your drafting team drops you. Dallas had a vision for the guy, & we didn’t. I can’t foresee him getting another starting job regardless of how he plays.

Luka being ball dominant was not a surprise considering scouts said he was great playmaker. How many elite playmakers aren't ball dominant?
DSJ is on the pistons now which would hurt his stock since Cade is another ball dominant player. The only way DSJ will get NBA minutes now is if he can develop a 3 point shot.
Name a white player better than Luka, lets have a healthy discussion. thinking of making a Trae vs Luka Thread.... Dont say them old night like Bird,most players from that era would be in the G league or overseas
Then you don't want to have a healthy discussion because you already painting a narrative
Vanhorn was soft as fu#k...fu#k him lol
