Colin obviously doesn’t actually watch the sport he covers. Sounds like a prototypical casual fan
This was a lazy segment imo
I watched a few Mavs games just to see Luka complain. I’d estimate he complained 85% of his shots in the paint.
plays nothing like melo, carmelo cant pass the ball
The Carmelo hate from the media is weird. The media tells us they hate when players join super teams yet they kill him for not joining a superteam. If Melo joins the heat this discussion is different. But he wanted to beat his friends in NY. Sighs
If Detroit drafted Melo this whole narrative would’ve been completely different also Denver melo was insane but it’s hard to win when prime Kobe and prime Duncan is in your conference
luka needs to learn to play better defense and play offball
… Vulture trash take and at the same time he looks very smart to himself, driven by low passions …
How do you know that his Pharma is brilliant ? Brilliant Pharma company? I never heard this combination of words. Brilliand + Pharma
Luka 33,9,8 a problem?
COLIN now Compare Luka with Dirk as this early😮. 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Did you ask Yourself who was Giannis 😂 when he was in his 4th Season in the NBA same Year with Luka now?😆How about Carmelo? 😆 When you Compare please Becareful.😮💨😮💨😮💨.
Thats Why this Commentator needs to Zip their mouth sometimes.😮
Luka style of play is hard to play with. You can win with his style of play, all he gotta do is play within the system
Lebron was never a lil bit better than Melo he was always a lot better than Melo Jason 🤣🤷🏿♂️🤣
Acting like luka is the same kind of ball dominant as melo is a braindead take.
Luka is a significantly better passer/playmaker than Carmelo who is one of the most overrated players in the history of the sport. They’re not even in the same category. Insult to Luka to compare him to Melo.
I hate the pouting and the hot dogging
Collin u gotta stop with the revisionist history acting like Miami ddnt have byfar the most talented team in NBA he made it work like it wasn't a all-star team stop it
Their comparing hof players to luka in his 5th year. Luka plays like that because it works and who was he playing with before Kyrie came for half a season?
"He's going to be the Carmelo of this era or an all-time great"
Melo not an all-time great?
Did you just say Dirk didn't get a ring, Colin?? Um 2011.
Let me weigh in. I love Lukas game. But he ain't going to ever win a Chip playing point guard. He's too much of a defensive liability. I said a few years ago that,it's best to move him to small forward where he could be a sort of Larry Bird/Scottie Pippen scorer and passer.
Melo would have at least made the finals if he had a quality point guard for a few straight seasons.
I am sorry but what the Mavs did is just desgraceful no matter from what perspective you look at it
Colin – "nobody likes Luka"
Meanwhile the reality he is among the top 5 in most jerseys sold this year and was 2nd above LeBron last year😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Colin you are going to regret this take of yours pretty soon
Terrible terrible take on the basis of half year's performances he took his team to wcf without a star
Got his team to number 4 without Kyrie
"I am not anti luka" – thn proceeds to hate on his whole character😂😂😂
If Melo played with greatvl Hall of Famers in his prime this would've been different. If the Mavs surround Luka with Hall of Famers hell be fine.
Why does Collin keep being funny by not calling Kareem his name? Is he being political or what?
Colin said Durk didn’t win a championship and Jason scared to correct him wtf
Yet he is playing differently with kyrie. They just didn't have the roster to help them. Hes giving the ball way faster, pushes the pace more doesn't have the ball every possession. These are just narrative that people who don't watch go by
Why don't yall think a freaking professional can adjust?
So how did they reach the wcf last year if hes such a problem.
So who are you to say luka isnt liked by players? How the hell would you know? Maybe its time you fault the organization, cause everyone luka was really close to they traded or let go.
What stupid examples. So giannis is on the right path cause hes not threatened by lopez, crowder, ingles? Seriously? Why should he be? What tells you luka being threatened by anybody he plays with?
When LeBron is gone Luka will be the best player in the world.
Did he say dirk didn’t get a championship?😂😂😂
