    Can somebody tell them they blamed kyrie now Luka....BLAME the Celtics! Stop degrading the Mavs to cope with Celtics being better
  • They pump the brakes with Luka but called Anthony Edwards the next MJ.
  • @Ballin-97
    So does this also hurt the star stock of Ant and SGA since they lost to Luka? These conversations are dumb and exhausting
  • @ludnqka
    HOW TF DOES SAS SOUND THE MOST REASONABLE TODAY
  • @CJ-yf2xm
    How can you hurt your star stock when you’ve got your team to the finals?…
  • @Trillchris9607
    Mavs won by 9 with Luka on the court. Mavs lost by 16 without Luka on the court.
  • @1RobertSmith
    Luka didnt hurt his own stock, the Celtics did by isolating him on the defensive end & showing the world his less than stellar defense on the biggest stage

    "A team that I didn't pick to make the Finals overachieves and gets there, but since they lose now it's a failure." - 🤡🤡🤡
  • @SPRVLN27
    Crazy how someone can be the best player in the league one week and then have their star power debated the next. Keep it up, ESPN, you're doing great; no one is realizing that 99% of your content is fluff and junk.
  • @sanzo21
    Ah yes, ESPN being reactionary as always. Last week they're all dickriding Luka and Kyrie as the best offensive backcourt ever, and now they're questioning if Luka is actually a superstar. How people still put value in these clowns' words are baffling.
  • @rigger49er
    This conversation is dumb. Why I didn’t hear the star stock drop when Lebron crumbled against the Mavs? I thought I heard these dudes say Ant was the next MJ. This is clownish to say the least.
  • @rlino716
    I feel like we didn’t really learn anything new from Luka this series. We already knew he was one of the best offensive players in the league, one of the worst defensively, and had difficulties controlling his emotions with refs. This finals simply reenforced all of these points.
  • @rconley40
    The Celtics are simple too deep & play excellent defense. As far Luka goes, he plays (offensive) for the foul & not the shot. Celtics coach exposed Luka defense.
  • @Thomjr33
    Stephen A Smith hairline & eyebrows are distant cousins 😂😂
  • @jmcooper2006
    Big Perk really called Luka a traffic cone. Savage.
  • @derikc24
    Made the excuse for Embiid being hurt. Lukas been hurt all off-season and ballin, yet they never bring it up.
  • @mikethekidd_
    Honestly, the biggest thing hurting his star stock is seeing him cry after every single play 😂 it’s extremely hard to watch
  • @notacat7127
    Perks jacket looks like a static filled tv when you’re moving the antenna searching for channels to get for free
  • @GdfhgDfg-xz7gf
    They talked crazy about James harden in his prime like that they keeping the same energy.
