So yesterday it was an interesting change of perspective for me watching Luka play my German national team - and I see and feel now what all the other fans are complaining about.
He‘s super frustrating to watch „against“ because of three things: he hits those incredible shots like his step back threes, he gets constant foul calls where he initiates and manipulates minimal contact and the refs bite on it - and he is still talking and complaining to the refs all the time. He made a money gesture in the third quarter - while already having one tech - and after the game told the refs they should feel ashamed of themselves. And that in a game where he got by far the most calls and a lot of very favorable ones.
I‘m really interested how that will play out in LA - he could become the biggest villain for all the other fans easily, kind of a super Harden.
