You can’t win a championship if your best player is that fat slob Slovenian he has no impact on winning and starts faking injuries after he gets exposed

Real Sturdy 🧠👁✊🏽5 months ago

He was grabbing his hamstring in the first quarter. He should’ve been taken out of the game then. JJ had him still in the third quarter. The Lakers got jumped on. And that was that. Steven is a fraud when it comes to his basketball career. Like Luka all of sudden injured

GoatMuse5 months ago

Mfs think he faked an injury yall some classless fucks

𝕋𝕖𝕣𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖 🔆5 months ago

He’s right. and this isn’t just the case with Luka. many players especially star players just start randomly grabbing body parts if they are having a bad game and pretend to get hurt so it overlooks their shit performance. curry does it all the time too, but yea im glad people are realizing this because it is a very soft way to approach the game, if ur having a bad game just finish it out. don’t make up some random “injury” and then come back next game all perfectly fine.

This man has been playing through this thing with his left hamstring for a week and the narrative is that he is faking it. These analysts need to do their research before making conclusions.

Crazy work bro😭 Luka so hated for no reason

temi💕5 months ago

Stephen A. Smith just said what everyone was thinking but was scared to tweet. Luka Dončić dropping numbers then suddenly hurt mid-game? Yeah that timing looks funny. Great players get critiqued, not coddled.

"A lot of you know that because you were there to witness it. And now we have the strongest military that we've ever had!

#Isles prospect Cole Eiserman on the organization and his excitement for the future via Empty Netters: “I think even when I got picked, it was like, yeah, they haven't had a first-round pick in the last four or five drafts, so there's not really much prospects. That was good for me in that time.” “But then they were like a middle of the pack team, and now they have a lot more excitement. They had a great draft last year, Calum Ritchie is now there, and now you got Schafer, who's balling out. It's a lot of excitement and it's pretty cool to be in that conversation of exciting guys that they have, because they're very passionate fan base.” “I see people on BU's campus come up to me, be like, we're so fired up.”

The last time I saw a guy in that much pain and anguish over a hamstring was in 1992 when Derek Redmond's hamstring TORE OFF THE BONE in the semi-final of the Olympic 400m. Redmond then made it worse by limping the rest of the race, breaking down in tears as his dad helped him. That injury ended his career. Caleb ending up with a relatively minor hammy given that reaction is wild.

🤔🤼‍♂️ Henry Cejudo believes Sean Strickland ended up on top of Khamzat Chimaev in Round 2 because he hurt him on the feet before the takedown: “Sean Strickland caught him in the second round. He hurt him, Khamzat Chimaev was on stanky leg. He did a good job by being composed and not showing it. Where he made a mistake it’s when he went for a takedown. When you get hurt you almost always go for a takedown but it’s just not good. You must keep that poker face.” (via Pound 4 Pound)

I asked Jaylen Brown about Sam Hauser for the three-point record and he started laughing: “It was terrible. I remember when Sam almost had the record when we were in Washington, and he hurt his ankle, and I didn't play that game, and I was in the back, and I was like, ‘Bro, you got to get back out there. I need you to get that record.’ And he was like, ‘Oh, it's gonna come back to me. That was two years ago…. It might not be another two years.” “But it was a joy to watch, man. We was all rooting for him. I wanted him to get it, but probably it was a little bit too much pressure on it.”

Dwyane Wade talks about giving the Keys to LeBron James after losing the 2011 finals: “When you play on a team that can actually win a championship, it’s a feeling that you have…. You feel when you’re apart of something special. That first year didn’t feel special. It felt like we were a bunch of guys that just got together who were talented…. After that 1st year I realized if we were going to get to where we ultimately wanted to, the guy that’s 6’9, can handle, guard anybody, that can take over games. He had to have freedom to do that. He didn’t have that the first year because it still was Wade county and was trying to get me the ball too much.” (Via Point Forward)

"That pussy Adam Cole broke his ankle like the complete dork that he is." MJF talks about the revisionist history of his story with Adam Cole "Here's what happened. At the time, and this is just a fact, we were the highest minute-for-minute drawing angle, not just in AEW, but in all of professional wrestling at that point. We were moving the most merch in the company. At that point, and was to no fault, Bloodline's going to go down as one of the greatest long-term thing, but at that point there was a bit of lull in their story at that point in 2023, and we had taken lead and Better Than You, Baby is what everybody was talking about and then that pussy Adam Cole broke his ankle like the complete dork that he is and then he decided to turn on me because he's a horrible human being. But I learned a lot in that in that year I learned a lot about myself you know when I when I was out—full disclosure I was in a very dark place." I also asked about the injuries he had suffered "It was my hip, my left shoulder; my last two pay-per-view matches—pretty much the left side of my body was useless. But I wasn't going to tell the doctors that because that's not how I was brought up. In not just in real life, but in this business. When I had that time off, I had a lot of time to reflect and it made me angry. Now I look back on it and I shouldn't have been angry at the fans. Who I should have been angry was that myself. Because I went from being, ‘MJF is the best thing since sliced bread,’ and within a flip of a switch, ‘It's MJF sucks. He's killing this company that we love.’ It took, if we're being honest, it took all the way into like the first month of this year of 2025 for everybody to be like, ‘Maybe we were harsh. Maybe he's actually still one of the best in the world. They can't help it. But I know why. It's because nobody likes a braggart. But the unfortunate thing is I can't help myself. I'm just really good at my job and I can't help but talk about it."
