      They are not forgetting Doncic, they are purposely forgetting Doncic. Last game Doncic was the hero but all the praise in American media went to Kyrie for getting the Mavs going in the first half. When Doncic scores 25 and more in the first, they will talk about how Kyrie took over in the 4th. SAS is the only guy who didn’t vote for Doncic for first team in 2 years in a row, you know it is not a coincidence.

      valid points, but mainstream media won’t wanna admit that. Basketball and the NBA is an American sport, supposedly leagues ahead of everywhere else.

      Luka since his 20 years was experienced player. Only people who haven't seen him and didn't know anything about him think that he needed to experience some things. He hasn't won title before because he hadn't good team enough to acomplish that, not because he had lack kf experience. Luka won Euro Basket title at age of 17, at age of 18 he was Euro League champion and MVP. When Booker was 24 years, Luka was already more experienced basketball player than him in that time. And hr still is.

    That is not even a close call. Luka has been on another level his whole career. People seem to forget that Luka also dragged his team to the wcf at the same age Ant is now without any other star. They started powell and dinwiddie was the third option while Ant has KAT, Gobert, McDaniels and Conley. Not to mention all of his success outside the nba. When I remember correctly Luka almost took his 2 million people country to an olympic medal while Ant somehow managed to lose with team USA last in last years world cup.

      Luka also brings a lot of value just because he has the size of a PF instead of having a small PG. He can defend every position and is a very very capable help defender when locked in. Rebounding is another huge plus. People get distracted from flashy plays but Luka is actually the better defender overall in these playoffs.

    US media compare Luka With Ja last year, This year Compare SGA with Luka, Luka Beat SGA, and then Ant with Luka, and the result Luka One step closer to beat Ant. How can USA media keep underrated and at the sametime they keep another Player compare with Luka each year since his rookie year.....

    Man?? I love watching ANT MAN PLAY!!! WOW!! But I also enjoy Luka's game but in a different way.... as much as I want to see Luka get there and try to beat the Celtics (which are my favorite team btw), I honestly think Anthony Edwards and Kat are going to knock them off. I hope I'm wrong.... that's all I'll say.

      He meant KAT and Ant are just emerging as playoff performers, but Luka and Kyrie have already proven themselves a lot more in the playoffs.

    All I’m gonna say is if the mavs take game 2 it’s over for the wolves all this hype for the wolves and Ant feels like hope more than belief sure he’s been taking off lately but if they lose and the mavs go to the finals a lot of these guys will have egg on their faces, and idk how Kat is considered “up and coming” while Luka is considered a Vet now, that just doesn’t make sense to me Kat has been in the league longer and was the number one overall pick and has had more experienced players around him like Kat should be considered “in his prime” right now and in my opinion until he wins a finals Butler was right about him. I like Ant’s aggressiveness but at the same time I don’t think calling out Kyrie was the best strategy sure it worked with KD but rn Kyrie is a different animal if you come at the someone like Kyrie you can’t miss you gotta get it done and not be gassed by the 4th like he was in game 1

    Edward only becomes relevant as great player consideration because two great big men do the dirty works for him. But Luka is Luka. He does not have solid team mates before but was able to carry the team and beating all odds. How much more he has now Krie, Lively, PJ, Gafford, Jones and the rest of the guys except of course Tim Hardaway who i believe is over rated maybe because of his dad.

He’s got the bad knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist…he might not survive this Minnesota defense lol. For Dallas to win Kyrie gonna have to put that cape on and just do what he do…and we all know Kyrie can take over whenever he wants…gonna be a fun series for true basketball fans. It’s super exciting to see these teams late in the playoffs, with these young superstars. It’s great for the NBA and great for the fans…
