He's so competitive, he can't let anyone on our team score more than him even in individual games. He wants to always be the top scorer on the court, our team and theirs. If he wasn't about that, he'd be letting JB and SD go to work more than he is this game. I wouldn't believe it if you could get past 1 hand where Luka was outscored by a teammate in a game this season. I don’t believe this. And if I did, I would quit liking Luka.

I was more so pointing out that even on Luka's worst nights he's still amazing and better than 99% of anyone. I don't think for even a second Luka cares about outscoring his own teammates. If he was that competitive then he'd care more about the opposition score first. Further, Luka is a generational scoring talent. We throw the word generational around a lot nowadays but he is seriously on par with the best scorers that have ever played. Few, if any, are better. When you got a guy like that on the court, more times than not he's going to be the lead scorer. It's not cause he has a personal goal on making sure no one else gets the spotlight, but rather he's just better than everyone else.

I've watched him go to himself plenty during a players hot streak to think otherwise. But don't you want a generational scoring talent to shoot the ball...? He's not icing out his teammates because he's trying to out-do them. He routinely sets them up.

Saddiq Bey is just too streaky. He can be red hot like last week when he made like 7 threes or earlier in the season when he scored 51. But he can always be ice cold and give them absolutely nothing like tonight

Thats 8 times alone from a quick look at box scores and I'm sure there are many more I missed.

Yes to all of that ... And, not only all of that, but ... Luka defers to his teammates PLENTY. Luka is the ultimate anti-Westbrook, as far as stat-padding is concerned. Seriously, I am amazed at IGT's take, because my perspective is almost the exact opposite.

Well ...
Hip hip hooray for the WIN! This is surely the worst 26-point/8-rebound/14-assist performance I've seen lately. GO MAVS!!!

It's not Westbrook I compare him to. It's a better player in Harden, who ended up not doing much cause he couldn't work with other stars. I hope he comes out of it and think he can, that's just who I see him as right now.
