    Haha. Can’t call him a version of Jeremy Lin and then say he’s not a superstar YET.

    Just cuz Max says stupid things doesn’t make Luka the enemy. He is in Year Two! And will be leading his team to the playoffs in this second year. He’s a star and that is leadership.

    What a night for Luka! Just 4 fouls short of a quadruple double.

    Really so what has he done? MVP? Nope? Won the Division NOPE scoring Title? Nope Led to league in Assist? Nope just a Taller Version on Lon in his hey day. Period

    Didn’t he win Euroleague MVP and finals MVP and a couple of championships before he got to NBA all before 18? I mean Luka is way better than Lin. If not just because he is 6 inches taller.

    Lin never won ROY. Dude's in his 2nd year and only 20 yrs old why does he have to win scoring titles and lead the league in assists? Harden ave like 12 pts in his 2nd year lol.

    It's a no brainer to take Luka over Harden just cuz of the age gap between the two. Harden's 10 yrs older and prob has 5 more years of peak performance, Luka has all the time in the world to win championships. Lebron is so much better than Giannis but if you ask the gms who they'd rather take right now almost everyone will say Giannis.

    If you are seriously trying to argue that Jeremy Lin is better than Luka Doncic.

    Son, you need to admit yourself into an institution.

    People ragging on 21 year old Luka when he is the closest thing to Harden out there is incredibly stupid. As a Houston fan, I'm not liking the direction Dallas is headed.

    Actually most of the regulars know luka is good. There’s no question about that.

    it’s the posts by @ashleyem that people are hilariously laughing at

    Haha, even if the outcome was different this was still a very poor post. Definitely agree with you

    We are talking about the NBA. We talking about the game. NOT PRACTICE, THE GAME

    No, I also have one more thing to say.

    Max Kellerman would choose organic chicken over prime rib.

    Someone needs to make a thread about that now.

    Luka is great and yes, at 21...but extended dominance is not guaranteed. Some players peak early and never get better. There is no guarantee that he'll ever be at the level Harden is at and I think that's where the frustration comes.

    He's perennial all-star level right now but taking that next step to MVP level is extremely hard. Some guys just never do it. Look at guys like Carmelo who everyone thought would eventually become a rival to Lebron. He peaked and just never got better.

    Kevin Love, another guy who looked like he was going to be an elite player that just...really never got better.

    Deron Williams whose last season in the NBA was 32...Deron was a really great player that just never continued his dominance. It is hard.

    So yeah, Luka is 21, yes he's great...but we can't assume that he's just going to get better and better like say Giannis.

    Vince Carter was another guy who just never took that next step and just sort of remained at that all-star level and then declined.

    So yeah, Harden's been to the mountain top, he's been a top 3 elite, arguably best player in the league level. Right now, Luka is perennial all-star level. He could continue this for years and years and have a great career but taking that next step? That's hard.

    It's not just media. I know of a lot of Steph fans who hate on Harden. They don't like the step-back, they don't like him drawing fouls, etc. Apparently it accrues to a boring game.

    If you're a GSW fan, I'd give it 90% chance you're hating on Harden. They're like LOFs just milder.
