lebum holding back the lakers
Lebron need to retire he just slowes the game he didnt even look happy over win nyn
I hope for playoff the crowd changes man, no energy at all so sad 😭
I have been saying this, lakers is better when he's not playing
Numbers don't lie…the Lakers offense and defense are better without Lebron
Luka magic 🎉
Great player, poor character—abandoning a wife and newborn is inexcusable
My boy 👏
Bro I love Luka but holy how did he get away with that travel at 0:04 and why is no one point it out
This Season MVP
Luka really strong as hell. He basically shoots a set shot jumper, but routinely takes threes several feet behind the NBA line.
It’s almost like the Lakers are way better when LeBron doesn’t play but yet the media paints Luka as the villain… Luka can be a cry baby but LeBron is a stat chaser who doesn’t play defense and is a terrible leader who is always passive aggressive towards his team mates, like when he’s got mad at Reeves for taking "his" rebound so he could get his legacy triple double, and he ducks good teams to stat pad against bad teams and he just faked an elbow injury where no one including himself knew which elbow was hurt during the broadcast. Luka and Reeves need to prove this media narrative wrong while LeBron isn’t playing and go on a win streak.
I love Lebrun but he needs to realize he is a fourth option at best
35 for Luka is like an ordinary day. We're so accustomed to it now.
1:56 Even OG was shocked that it went in. He was so appalled by it. 😂
Luka one of my fav players to watch but how is taking 16 threes in a game?
That is not acceptable when ur always been a league avg 3pt shooter
Luka is unstoppable
They play good till Bron shows up! Austin and Luka be hattin on that nihhhgaa xD LOL
He looks fast
LUKA has 17 STEALS and 9 BLOCKS on the last 10 games.
BROWN has 23 STEALS and 10 Blocks on the last 29 games.
Lebron would've shot few logo shots plus turn around fade away 3's to impress others when they are up by two digits and made NY comeback and tie the game.
Marcus Smart was 1-10 from the field and 0-5 from 3 with a total of only 5 points but he had a +/- of 27. Let that sink in. A +/- of 27 with 29 minutes of game play. Dude is a gem and I hope Lakers are aware.
Ar has learned some of lukas moves
lebron needs to retire man…
MVP
Been tellin these clowns Luka better off without Bron. He ain't Kyrie the cold blooded scorer Luka can lean on. LA 100% cuttin ties with Klutch next year, no ifs, no buts.
Lakers without Bron are a really good team. But if you replace Bron for any good player, you have a real contender
Problem is doing 35+ point in playoffs in Best Of Seven. Luka has gastank for 1 game, no problem there.
Best player in the world
Well his name should be Oncic, cuz he has no “D” 😂😂😂
When Luka is locked in he's the best player in the league.
He didn't complain or whine as much in this one. And was playing with a lot of joy. That's my favorite version of Doncic.
Can't wait for Lebron to Retired. I use to be a Laker Fan.
Whoever said Luca wasn't a good athlete is a freaking idiot😂
Haters silent for now lol. Put a solid team beind Luka see what happens. Get out of here with that Jaylen Brown Cade talk. Luka at worst the 3rd best player in the league.
Bron gone come back and drop a 30 point trip dub after he sees all this shit they talkin
The was a big chance that luka would win mvp this year if le bron was not playing
Insane
luka made me remember prime james harden..lethal offensively…but couldn't win championship…..
