american hustle and live for work attitude vs european work/life balance
Wouldn’t say it’s the European mindset, it’s the Balkan mentality
Adam Silver and the league are playing 3-D chess while the rest of you are playing Tic Tac Toe. The league set this up to protect the lakers, While Nico gets all the attention and the blame. The fans at the end of the day are still buying tickets and supporting '' Entertainment ''
Just like the league fixed the 2002 Western conference finals to protect the lakers from the Sacramento Kings

New Mavs billionaire clown 🤡 owners want a casino and didn’t want to spend money on Luka. Nico is a Laker insider and made it easy for his team to get Luka for an injured 31 year old. 💩💩💩💩
i think you're spot on. the culture is much different and that got into Nico's head. However, as an executive when I'm in these situations where someone is not meeting my expectations I have a sit down to understand their expectations and reiterate mine. The goal is to come to an understanding of how I intend to manage them and to agree on a process to meet expectations. Nico clearly didn't do that.
Mavericks management gonna be a 🤡 show for decades to come, while Luka gonna set his legacy with the lake show 😂 I hate the lakers but can’t deny how good they are at stealing superstars and making themselves relevant over & over again! RESPECT! GO BOSTON BACK 2 BACK!
This is definitely not European… maybe it's specific to Balkan countries but I doubt it. Djokovic has a very different approach. It might partially be cultural but I think it's mostly just his personality, just like Jokic.
And yet they were all blind to see all his accomplishments and traded him
Great video. Great points. I couldn’t agree more with these theories.
they act like another generational star will fall into their laps in a couple years when is reality it’ll be decades
Nico Harrison is generational
I didn't know the European way was to ignore defense
Its clear that the Luka Trade isn't really about Luka. No sane GM or owner would trade a talent of that caliber especially if it was just about weight issue. If you think about it its more of an nba issue just like what DWade said
Jordan got very angry any time he lost, he lived to win. Europeans want to play good basketball but they dont live for basketball. The Life is not basketball. It's everything else. This is why so many black athletes lose all money and all of their family when they retire. They dont have anything in their life, they were basketball players and nothing else.
hahaha i really enjoyed the Real Madrid comment that Luka was trained to complaint to the refs! 😀
Kobe wouldn't even have that crazy work ethics if he had 3/4 of Luka's talent. Let that sink in for a while
Not everyone can workout like Kobe, every person it's different and unique (physically and mentally). Luka's way works perfectly well for him. He just need to complain less and try to do more defense… What happend with Kobe in FINALS game 7 against the Celtics?? He missed a LOT and still won the championship not because his "work ethic" he won cause his TEAMATES HELP HIM A LOT that game 7
This is incredible insight. I'm a Mavs fan who knew about Luka before they drafted him but I'm not familiar with the Eruo basketball mentality. The Jokic analogy is perfect, people perceive both as not hard workers who don't love basketball, but they just do things differently than American players. Nico is an idiot and Dallas fans will never forgive him for what he did.
Nico is just stupid. It’s not more complicated than that.
I wonder if people will look at Harrison as a generational talent in management 😂
Its absolutely hilarious that Nico thinks all of these things are big concerns when he’s this young lmao. What was bum ass Nico doing before he turned 25. Complaining to refs in NBA games is not a big issue for a young player who’ll just naturally grow out of it with maturity. Ugh just writing about it again pisses me off, I fukn hate that man and the dumbasses who own it.
I've been saying for years, Lukas arguing with refs comes from RM, he should work on that, he should work on FT and a bit on defense, of course he has room for improvement, but if all these things check out, who tf is going to stop him or the team he is on? 🙂
The beginning of the video was nice, talking about early Luka but you lost me at "he doesn't need to stay in shape year round/run the floor when he's angry."
Great analize. I can Just smile 😂😂😂. It is how it is.
hey. great great video. personally, I believe in the theory that mavs oners want to destroy the team so they can take it to vagas or so they can force Texas to legilaies gambling
Luka will become washed up with the Lakers and the Lakers will be trading Luka. The Mavs dodged a bullet before Luka becomes washed up. The Mavs definitely won that trade. Luka will become the NBA washed up version of Ezekiel Elliott. Look at overweight Zion his performance is declining and going downhill because of his weight Luka is next. Luka has an aging body with lots of mileage on it. The Luka fanboys don't want to admit that Luka will become washed up because of his weight and his performance will go down hill and start declining. Reality will be slapping the Luka fanboys in the face and biting them in butt.
Luka did not learn Madrid's complaining style fully. There is a big difference about Luka complaints and e.g. the king of crying, Rudy Fernández. Rudy never, ever lost his game focus in his more than 20 years of constant complaining everywhere he played. Luka loses his focus and leaves the game so frecuently
It's not European, it's Balkan mindset.
Nah, this came from above. Casino Texas politics
Well I love LBJ, 1 of the things he LOVES to do and I truly hate about him, complain against the Ref vs coming back for defense. Don't think LBJ is in that category a good example. Of course he can be the perfect of getting your body in best shape possible, play, reading the game and many more.
