FIRST TAKE | Did Luka Doncic tarnish his image? - Stephen A. breaks Mavs' NBA Finals loss to Celtics

Just because Luka isn't ripped doesn't mean he is in bad physical shape. Wasn't Antony Edwards the one who was sucking on oxygen in the tunnel???? Body types vary. Enough said.

All yall chose Dallas to win don't back track now😂😂😂😂😂

What’s frustrating is that before the Finals, everyone picked the Mavs KNOWING Luka isn’t great on defense and doesn’t have the best conditioning. To sit up here and say that’s why his performance was lackluster is disingenuous. Instead, look at his teammates performances. Kyrie averaged 14 ppg and he was their 2nd best scorer! Luka’s conditioning and defense had little impact on this series

How Brian gonna talk about someone out of shape lol

Andrea's "insights" are infantile. When Stephen A is the voice of reason...Zeus help us all 😆

If Tatum lost his image woulda been tarnished worse

So luka gets credit for losing the finals after being exposed defensively but Tatum never got any credit for losing in the finals in his previous loses? Tatum was even blamed for getting hurt in a game 7 of the conf finals that they forced being down 3-0. My my my

What was the Mavs record before pj Washington and Gafford so how is ESPN praising Luka smh

Stephen A Smith is a piece of work. What I mean is The question is: did Luka's performance tarnishes his image. Stephen A didn't say anything about his game He talked about being in shape. Which being in shape matters but it's like the only thing that he could come up with in a negative manner was being in shape. One thing I realize about Stephen A over the years is that he's so critical because deep down he's really envious and jealous of the basketball players because he's so wish and he really think he could have made it but the reality is he was not talented enough.

Andraya...not getting it.

That woman is insufferable. Her argument is “Luka has never been in shape and he’s a great player, that’s his thing”. It’s ridiculous. The argument should be “if he’s a great player in spite of being out of shape, imagine how much better he could be if gets in shape”. Luka is soft mentally (complaining about everything) and physical (no muscle all fat). He needs to change that.

LOL...Luka averaged 29, 9 and 6......47% from the field...my GAWD...if this was Lebron the conversation would be "Lebron needs more help" also, Boston was the favorite because they have been building this team for 7 years...this Dallas team has been together for 6 months....they were the underdog for all 4 series and beat 3 50 win teams

Luka the first player ever to lead all postseason players in pts, Rebs, assists, and steals.

Speak to Luka like you spoke on Zion!!

Idc if Dallas was there because of Luka or not. He didn't do it alone. All that offense doesn't mean a damn thing without defense. The whole league is on that same tip. Fans and retired players have said it time and time again, and we're tired of it. People don't care about high scores. They care about good games. NBA defensive rules are a bore.

Steven a is a 🤡

Larry Bird was at the arena running the rafters before games while the rest of the players were still at home getting ready to go to the arena for the game. And these fools want compare Luka to Bird? Stop it!

Kobe was right when he said Luka's style of play cant win.

Mrs Carter please stop making up excuses for Luka. They lost. Tatumwws getting fouled all series. Stop excuse making please. 🍀🍀🏆

WHEN LUKA SAID THE NBA WAS EASIER THAN EUROPEAN BASKETBALL .. HE WASN'T THINKING ABOUT DEFENSE ..
