Let’s face it nobody plays defense. The whole game is played above the ark and they have a 6 foot cushion to take wide-open threes. If they hit them, they win, you miss them they lose what defense are you referring to?
Not a bad comparison, I don’t hate it
Carter does comp to Jimmy butler and Brunson as far as players in the past who were overlooked
Orlando isn’t taking Bub trust me. Orlando has Anthony Black and Cole. Cole and Bub are the same
Luka is nothing like Carmelo lol. At the end of the day Boston just has an incredible team. 5 all star level players. It was their year
It is crazy how people flip on players. Doncic is an elite passer and ball handler, he plays nothing like Carmelo. The problem is his team isn't good enough. Steph was not an elite defender, he just had a great team that covered his weaknesses. Doncic needs the same.
I am just so tired of the sports media. A week ago Doncic was the best player alive.
Carmelo all day everyday hands down better than that bum
Carmelo was never a good passer. Hell, after leaving Denver, he never won a series. Luka is too injured to be playing good defense
He has always been a liability on defense
Luka is getting exposed for what he is. Nothing but a shooter and crybaby. He should get 3 offensive fouls a quarter.
That’s a horrid comparison, his passing is twice as good at least, but that’s why Boston won, they chose to deny the passing and let him try to score, they TURNED him into Carmelo Anthony.
First of all, Luka is NOT Carmelo Anthony LOL!!! WTF are we doing with this story line. I like Luka yet HE HAS NEVER PLAYED DEFENSE. Just look at him against Team USA in the Olympics. He was the primary ball handler when Slovenia got BLOWN OUT. That's just not his strength. I understand the NBA is a business and every team has to make money, yet I don't understand why the NBA is trying to make Luka something he is not. And NO, he is not better than Larry Bird.
Carmelo is better than Lebron and so is Luka
Just pick a name out of a hat
Luka is also injured like a mf I think they said he’ll need surgery on his knee and ankle once the finals are over.. you can obviously tell something is wrong you don’t get wrapped up like that for fun like he was in game 2 smh how quick the media changes.. he’s still young he just needs to lose some of that weight still so he won’t be so injury prone he’s a big guard but he doesn’t have to be that big maybe 5-8 pounds he can lose or turn it into muscle, show a little more effort on defense, & stop complaining about a call every time he’s tapped.. I’ll give it to him the refs have been terrible with their calls when I seen who was reffing the finals I knew it’d be an even more uphill battle for them.. Boston is just the much better team anyone who has eyes & an understanding of basketball should know this.. their depth is INSANE JB is playin on another level to the point JT can play semi poorly & it doesn’t even bother their chances of winning.. Tingus Pingus was playing beautifully until the injury.. like JJ said the better team is the team who’s gonna win & it’s that simple.. Luka will be back in the finals I don’t see this being his only trip they just need one more piece to take the offensive weight off of kyrie and him & they’ll be just fine.. I’m sure they’ll find it
I like Luka but you're absolutely right about the Tatum comparison.
Melo was no scrub lol but he def didnt pass or rebound at the same rate of Luka. He's not a better post or mid range player then carmelo either.
Melo was never the best player in the league, luka is already there and hes 25
Look at the two teams. Outside of Luka and Kyler Dallas had nobody who can just go get a bucket they’ve gotta be setup. Boston is probably the deepest team in the league
I’m so sick of this dude
This dude a lizard
Luka is white james harden
One huge thing you're intentionally leaving out. Luka has already won a championship. The Tatum comparison is back AF.
Melo defense ain’t never been this bad .. especially in the playoffs … he wasn’t battling Kobe with Lukas defense … who cares what this dude thinks anyway .. lol he’s not a hooper
Sports media is getting ridiculous. That’s an awful comp.
I know Jason was going crazy inside but was too respectful to say anything to colins.
That melo comparison is horrendous.
Besides bullying people in the post they really have nothing alike.
Melo did shoot threes and a lot of them in his second half of his career.
The biggest difference between them is lukas passing and willingness to pass.
Luka does pound the ball but he will make the right pass when available and a mauch better play maker
