I’m not one to pay attention to ESPN because I’m under no delusions that they can be counted on for actual journalism, but they interrupted their regularly scheduled Lakers segment to specifically call out Luka. They didn’t outright say that people don’t want to play with Luka, but they didn’t really need to. At one point, known bloviator Windhorst said he feels bad for Dallas fans. Dafuq? Over Kuzma?
What he say fuck me for?

The Mavs, after adding two players excited to be here, were turned down by two players for their own reasons. That adds to 0. Can’t dispute this report. Pack it up. We’re never signing anyone again.
I think the media just hates foreign players
Windhorst is the worst, I have never seen anyone have to eat their own words time and time again. Not sure how he still has a job and it’s no surprise he regularly has McMahon on his show. Luka could win a championship averaging a 50pt triple double and they’d just talk about how it was a fluke and the other team just played poorly.
Luka might win MVP if Mavs keep winning so they are probably trying to make a narrative
lol they just got Kyrie who signed long term, they’re still assmad he didn’t go join Lebron and the Lakers
Negative headlines about superstars. You must be new to mainstream media.
🚨 espn hates straight white men 🚨
Kuzma is a douchebag.He’s a quality role player, but I’d have been dissapointed if we got him.
Real talk – Luka would’ve treated that bricklayer Kuzma like a fucking dog lmao
Kyrie joined the Mavs. As much as some of them like Kyrie’s “bag”, he is sort of blacklisted on these bigger networks. So Mavs get very little praise now.
Mavs got better after trade deadline and on a 5 game winning streak. Suddenly they receive negative media attention despite all of this. Coincidence? Defenitely not. League don’t want Luka to be new face of the league and now they are afraid he might do so. They are afraid the moment they saw what having competent big man on Luka’s team looks like and now Mavs have 2.
I am already used on media talking shit on Mavs, guys did the same on 2011 and got embarassed real hard when we won that ring against their darling team lol.
ESPN mid-season post trade deadline: “Why aren’t any stars signing with the Mavs right now?”
Gee I wonder.
i said this last year. but after missing the playoffs directly after making the conference finals Luka very quickly was thrown out of his “budding young superstar, unlimited potential” phase into the “alright buddy we’re gonna need some mvps and rings” part of his career and this is just how its gonna be for him on the media/barbershop talk/twitter side of things until he proves he is the player we know he can be
its not really fair but its just how nba discussion goes
He’s European and white, case closed
In that same segment they said Grant Willams has been playing well with the Mavericks 🤣
Damn, windhorst is starting to look like an old man. Where has the time gone?
Windhorst is pissed at Luka because how can a fat, white man do those things and he fucking can’t.
Just a few things to point out…
Luka has less techs this year compared to before.
We got rid of Williams right away instead of holding on to him hoping to make a wrong right
Luka/Irving are the stars but the way we’ve played since the trade, absolute team ball
ESPN has nothing to jump on so they make shit up.
