Luka’s defense continues to be underrated

Should be worth noting he’s gotten a lot better as the year has gone on too. At least by the eye test

I noted it on my show. Can’t fit everything into a one-minute clip

Luka and his fans have seen and heard all of this before. All of it. The Lakers experience is just a re-run. 🤷‍♂️

@TuckFitter3 Past 10 years of MVPs. Only Giannis had great defense. There’s no way Defense was calculated every year.

Are you gonna tell your podcast buddy that ?lmao

U guys should send some of ur defensive analysis to the clueless media people that don't even watch games, but have a vote

Jovan, you should compare him on defense to the former MVPs like Curry unanimous MVP and Hardens MVP

I’ll add one thing. He doesn’t try on some possessions actually and that is true. That’s how the viral clips that pundits watch to make up their opinions happen. But for a high usage guard, that is not a new concept. Most through history take D possessions off to return energy

This is correct. He’s closer to an average defender on most nights. I don’t know what analytics Wilbon has to prove Luka does not contribute or is a negative on the defensive end.

Go look at his defensive numbers he’s top in the league not saying he is a great defender. Just saying he is playing good defense this season.

Finally someone has eyes

@LukaUpdates

Bigger guys playing smaller positions (guard/SF) often have a hard time with smaller, quicker guys on the perimeter: Examples include Bird, Magic, Harden, Luka. Getting beat on the perimeter is noteworthy and everyone remembers it (even Jordan vs. Iverson, for example). But all of those players (and maybe Luka?) were good on post defense. And that was because of their size and strength. Not allowing easy shots from the post is not as memorable, but it is good defense.

🗣️ Talk that 💩 Jovan! Luka isn’t a cone, he’s giving effort.

Tell em jovan. Tell the truth. Keep your job.

Tell your boy that

@LukaUpdates Jovan, please post the part about how and why voters are voting, please. From todays show. It will clear the picture.

Incredible - talking about how his defense is underrated while underrating his defense.

It’s smarter to give up a blow than get stupid fouls
