I’m defending one of the best players in the league …… and you are an absolute clown if you think I’m actually a Lakers fan. Even after all these years, you believe that?

An angry old clown man who hates Euros... you sure got me pegged. I don't like a player because of the ball dominant style he plays (boring selfish hoops) and conducts himself (constant whiner) and you're getting emotional and lashing out... again. He's awesome at hoops, but his style and act makes for a tough watch for me. I'm far from alone in this opinion. I do like good defense and ball movement/team play... crybabies not so much. Not sure why you think you're the sheriff of what others like or what they can express on a hoops message board, but whatever. Hope you have a good night.

I agree. Luka is a hard watch. He doesn't even have a unique 30’ three to make it easier, like Dame.

But yeah, it’s the look on his face every time he misses a shot. Like a five year old whiner not getting the candy in the grocery store cause mom said no. And he takes most of the shots! Combine that with his non flashy, Harden style ball and yeah….Hard watch for me as well.

The attitude does it for me. I don't mind the basketball.

In general I root more for the team much more then individual players. I'm not a fan of his D (who is?) but I can tolerate poor D from a guard much more then someone from the frontcourt where I view defense as critical. While he does more Iso/1 on 1 ball then I prefer, he was never the ball stopper that Luka is and generally saves it for the end of the clock when it's necessary. Luka just pounds the hell out of the ball seemingly every possession.... dribble dribble dribble. Lastly, Dame isn't much of a whiner let alone the biggest baby in the league.

Given the history of Achilles injuries for athletic guys into their 30s, I'm doubtful he's going to be nearly the player he was. So I was a fan of his as he helped my rooting interest win & at the same time I was a lonely voice of dissent for much of his career about Soapy Olshey's stupid moves which failed to put much of a supporting cast around him. Anyhoo, while others were freaking out ecstatic when he resigned, I was not as I'm doubtful he helps the cause much going forward. Here's hoping he's the exception to the rule, his recovery goes tremendously & more prime Dame time is ahead of us.

Just because someone is good at basketball doesn't mean I have to like them on a personal level. Lots of Blazers fans couldn't stand Sheed. I despise Luka because of his attitude, demeanor, and his CONSTANT whining and bitching to the refs. The guy thinks every time someone touches him it should be a foul. It's the NBA you prima dona snowflake. Contact happens. When I watch him whine after every play I just want to punch him in his pudgy punchable face.

Sorry but no. Not sure why you're so bent & trying to make something out of nothing. It doesn't seem anyone is buying

Dame has a great deep ball, is an incredible passer, and doesn't whine at the refs or dramatize himself as a victim begging for the refs to bail him out.

Bro Dame bitches to the refs about every call. If Dame is an incredible passer, what’s Luka?

You said you don’t like ball dominate players who whine to the refs, did you not?

Dude, whats with you? Is everything okay? It seems you somehow missed my response, so here it is again...

I don't care if he talks to the refs (even if he's complaining to them). I care if he acts like he got murdered when nobody touched him and makes a dramatic show of it.

Like laying on the floor acting injured to try and get the call, but being fine to play 100% the next play.

Or being literally carried off the floor with an "injury" only to come back and play like nothing happened.

I'm not saying Luka has done that, those are just examples of the kind of behavior that causes me to lose respect for a player.

Luka is a great passer as well. But he whines to the refs and can have a negative attitude that isn't enjoyable. Definitely different than the way Dame complains.

Dame doesn't whine to anybody.

And I'm not saying I have much of a problem with Luka. I just don't like the way he whines to the refs. I hope it doesn't get any worse.

I love that he seems to have gotten himself into shape, and I wish he weren't a Laker.

I don't enjoy the "prima-donna" display...
