    "Jalen Brunson deserves first team over Luka" - Stephen A Smith "Ant Edwards is the best player in the series" - Kendrick Perkins
  • @scruffd0g193
    You know it’s killing Stephen A to praise Luka.
  • @whatever_mma
    molly ending the video with "luka is the first player in post season history to lead the playoffs in points, rebounds, and assists entering the finals" is just the dagger
  • Perk last week: “Anthony Edwards Is The Best In The League”. Perk this week: “Luka Doncic is The Best In The League”.
  • @DRGOAT999
    Kevin Garnett had next level trash talk bro was trash talking himself 😭
  • @Call_MeJD
    Just in case y’all forgot, the Suns have NEVER been the same since Luka outscored the team in the first half, in Phoenix, in a game 7! It’s the meme of the century and the Suns have never recovered.
  • @khail58
    Luka proved last night that he has another level that no one else has and only a few guys in history have had. Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Lebron, that's about it. It's because it's so rare that it's special to watch a guy who can assert his will over all these other men who are the best in the world at what they do. Luka is fearless. No, I'll go a step further....he IS fear.
  • @peterfraser8118
    Remember when he basically said luka's 73 point game was just cause of bad defence but he during the finals he gives the best team 36 points while dropping 20 in the first and sitting in the last 5 mins
  • @ahoj4480
    Luka is everything media wants their favorite players to be
  • @kingwani8248
    Steph and kyrie getting rings after leaving kd will feed families
  • @itsADmyguy
    Nobody is talking about how Luka and Kyrie had the same number of points. Both had 36 😤 that’s a deadly duo
  • @elevateskillz
    "Matter fact I aint even bleed em yet, can I bleed em? Bet" - Luka Doncic
  • I died at Kendrick Perkins chuckle when he knew SAS HAD to praise Luka, lol!
  • @rajmathew6220
    1:21 Perkins chuckling before SAS answers is hilarious. He's thinking what we're thinking lmao
  • @cc3523
    People may not realize how much Jason Kidd has helped both Luka & Kyrie. Props to him and it’s dope to see him back in the Finals, as a HC this time around. Flowers to that man.
