> I had a scout the other day tell me Luka Doncic is the worst transition defender in the history of basketball. I want to say that’s hyperbole, but man, when he gets in all of his feelings and he’s yelling and screaming at refs and he’s not crossing – forget half court – he’s not crossing the free throw line on some of these possessions. He’s playing as poorly defensively as we have seen him play.

The history of basketball? Damn
Bros never seen me at the Y
Running back on defense just sucks balls
Im here for this
The only thing keeping it from being Jordan Poole is the occasional chase down block or steal from playing passing lanes
My old ass is with Luka. Next run is half court only, clear it past the 3 point line
Luka is on his Harden arch. Bout to date a Jenner.
It is kind of wild how much shit 37 year old Lebron caught about his defense last year, but 23 year old Luka with Kyrie barely gets any criticism.
That’s cause Luka is crying at the ref for 35 seconds everytime he misses. It’s always 5 on 4 the other way
He doesn’t get back on defense, he whines and complains after missed shots.
A lot of players do this on occasion. But Luka does it A LOT
Damn, Luka slander? Count me in 😂
Hard to run back when you’re yelling at the refs every play
Does Luka run?
Makes sense because he is arguing with the ref on other side of the court during transition
Looks like the honeymoon is over.
Welcome to the ‘tear them down’ portion of the storyline
I think it’s good that Trae and Luka are going through their villain arcs at the moment. It’s important for the next generation of stars to see that nba fans and writers don’t respect whining, flopping and foul-baiting with poor defense. They’ll write positive stories and make you a star when you’re young, but those poor qualities will eventually sour opinion to the point where THIS is the result.
Doesn’t take a scout to tell you that.
I’ve never seen a man be the last man back, ahead of 3 opposing players in transition, and end up behind all of them at the end of the play.
Not sure if its a good or bad thing, but this is entirely to due effort and not competence.

Man he would’ve been perfect for Vivek’s team based on his ideology of playing defense 4v5 and parking one person up ahead. If only there was a way to make that happen.
So luka is too fat and whiny to leave the offensive end of the court.
Dude thought I was a scout.
This won’t be good for my man’s basketball depression
Its cuz he fat
Bagley would never
I’m gonna say it
Luka is the player LeBron haters think LeBron is
