    He's a great player, that's undeniable.

    I picked LAC winning the series in 6. I can still be right.

    Very strange that neither Leonard and George guarded Doncic in the most important possession of the game.

    Are they no longer elite defenders?

    Harden wasn't that good at age 21 yrs... I can't look into the future doe.... Harden averaged 10 or 12 ppg back then.

    This fat kid is averaging 30 and 9 and 9 ish.

    How is Paul George playing so bad? If he even gets like 20 points the clippers win this series handily

    How is PG making max money producing like this? You’re trash on offense, and won’t even guard Luka on defense. Kawhi is all too ready to switch off of Luka and have Morris and Reggie Jackson get slaughtered time and time again. I don’t get it. It’s like they don’t want to get embarrassed on defense, so they leave it up to the likes of Reggie to try and get stops.

    Dude didn't say Doncic at 21 > Harden at 21. Dude said Doncic at 21 > Harden at any time in his career.

    they scared of getting embarrased and being talked bad about by skip, shannon and max and them the next morning. In the mavs game harden took the assignement on luka and kinda held him in check for a bit even with the 5 fouls

    kawhi and pg already had a gamewinner put on them in the bubble by dbook, and they wasnt trying to have another hit to their defensive reputation in the clutch

    they way they’re switching off so quickly and having this lackadaisical defensive stance when they actually do guard him, it’s like they’re scared of guarding him all out and getting embarrassed or exposed

    Damn that was an amazing shot.

    I will forever hate Phoenix, Sacramento, and Atlanta for letting Dallas get Luka. It was so, so obvious that he would be good - not saying that I thought he'd be MVP caliber at age 21, but I knew he would be better than the other guys taken in the top 5. "Oh but he played in Euroleague." Yeah guys! Euroleague is better than NCAA!!!! And he won MVP!! And the title!! FFS!!!!!!!

    That shot, though. Before, the year it was arguable that Luka might be a top 10 talent in a few seasons.

    He might be top 5 with the way playoffs have gone.

    They can't stop him.

    Nobody was this good at 21, why just single out harden.. steph, kawhi or ad. Luka is a generational talent

    I don't even want to check reddit with how much they are going to kiss Luka's ass.
