HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

All of what omahen said plus one more thing: 

I don't think Luka is selfish at all, but has a tendency to take all the scoring burden when his teammates struggle. The result is the same, Luka tries to do it all, but the intention behind it is a huge difference. He's also an emotional person and young , so he might get carried away sometimes. Man, this guy is the undisputed leader of this team at 20, give him some time to figure out the nuances and control the emotions.

We just disagree. Your post is just plain enabling/ excuse making for a lot of bad things that he does that can be controlled.  

He is the leader because he is the most talented player on the roster by a mile. So no one can say anything.  A weaker supporting cast by itself is not an excuse for heroball offense or minimal effort on defense.  I wish he had a veteran who was also playing well so that he could firmly correct Luka since RC seems unwilling.  

The talk last year was that Europeans play the right way as opposed to selfish American teens who are used to AAU.  Now that Luka is playing exactly that way it is because he is young, a leader, and is emotional.  Nice.
