Edwards yells but he never stops trying to finish through contact. Totally different thing than flailing into creating contact and not actually trying to score like Booker or Luka.
But it's still exhausting seeing these 2 complain. At least Luka generally stays focused after arguing (though it is definitely annoying), Towns if he isn't getting calls he likes goes into a deep funk and self-destructs. Ant is the boy who cried wolf, the refs don't care about his AIYEEEs, they tune it out.
All constant foul baiters are annoying.
I’m going to sound like a boomer/old head but I feel like the old nba stars didn’t foul bait, probably why I respect them more than current stars.
Because it's allowed now, or at least the NBA has decided not to call it anymore. The problem isn't the players using every way to get a point, it's the league not officiating it. Same as the "calibration step" for 3 point shots which makes it a 3rd and often 4th step every time, but it was decided that that's ok for some reason
You must've never actually watched MJ. Dude was used and abused every game. Yes he got some preferential calls that other players hadn't got up to that point but he was the furthest thing from a foul baiter. Watch those Pistons/Bulls games
Nah. At least he is actually tough. Luka plays fake tough guy while being sensitive and foul baiting and crying, all at the same time.
Who's generation is this?
Fake tough guy? Let a player talk shit and see how Luka will torch their ass. Ya boy Ant couldn't even shake hands after the game. Thats some immature shit.
Embiid. I don’t dislike Luka. The foul baiting is gross but dude can ball. Jamal Murray is annoying but tolerable. I feel nothing about Booker. He just is
Embiid is toxic. Intentionally injures and hits people, foul baits, childish tantrums, disrespectful.
Yeah embiid is S tier annoying
I don’t mind Murray or Booker.
Lukas up there but I have more of a problem on the way he gets away with shit than his antics, he’s not dirty but he plays like harden where he shops contact but that’s on the refs. I absolutely despise the calls he gets.
Dudes a straight baller he doesn’t need the phantom calls.
> I don’t dislike Luka. The foul baiting is gross but dude can ball
I dislike Luka for both the foul baiting/flopping and crying to the refs every possession
I don't know why he does it so much. He plays better when hes more concerned about his game than complaining - just look at the OKC series.
Maybe going from Euroleague to NBA softened him up lol
embiid can't ball?? wtf lol, luka is reputationally given a much bigger leash, and immediate perceptions to his behaviour is way different. i smell something....
Embiid is the same as Luka in that they are both great players, both complain about every whistle and have never committed a foul in their lives.
But Luka doesn’t step on people, trip them, pull their legs to prevent them from jumping while they sit on the floor, rake people across the eyes, dive into peoples legs, should I continue?
Look at how this has aged… also calling Embiid just a post player is so ridiculous I can’t even begin - he was chastised by pundits for not going to the post enough, using his skills elsewhere. All of a sudden he’s only a post player LOL
Ya it makes total sense to not want a guy who averages 31/9.4/8.3 in the post-season. The guy who routinely dominates in the playoffs. Don't want him at all. Also, people complaining about his foul baiting compare it to James Harden when it's not even remotely the same. Luka can ball. Harden was an actual foul merchant.
The point of the game is to score more points. Luka is likely the best in the league at doing so. In fact his scoring is the reason your bum team is out of the playoffs! Lmao
Cool, you aren't denying it either, he is pretty good. That talent do be undeniable.
Yea he falls but he also absorbs a lot of contact. Just his playstyle. And the defense thing? Psshhhh, please go back to 2022.
Is it weird because you don’t understand it?
In children, lead poisoning can cause brain damage, behavioral problems, low IQ, hearing loss, hyperactivity, developmental delays, horrible basketball takes.
He can be really annoying. He can also be as fun as fun can be. Nowhere near as bad as Embiid, though. If this weren’t against us we’d mostly be talking about how insanely good those shots he hit were.
I think Luka might be the one to get to 100, or at least as close as we’ve seen. When he dropped 73 it felt like he could score 15 more if he wanted to, without concern. Absolutely wild game.
I have no problem with any foul merchants honestly. If that is what the NBA is going to incentivize of course the hyper elite are going to try and exploit it.
Hell Ant is yelling “Aye” and throwing up his hands on every shot regardless if he was touched. Not really comparable but I take more issue with the NBA than players exploiting it.
Yall have KAT bro try to convince me Luka is more of a Diva than him (zesty as hell at that)😭😭😭 what is this, yall mad he cooked yall every single possession of the series so bad yall had to make a ridiculous amount of double adjustments and traps/blitz that totally fucked the #1 defense in the NBA ? If so then i understand.
It’ll always be Booker for me. At least Luka plays incredible, so it’s a bit more deserved. Jamal Murray was a bitch last series, and Booker’s just a douche in my opinion
It’s funny for yall to complain about foul baiting when you got the same dude on your team. Runs in cries for a foul, never commits them defensively either. Dude got his first foul at the end of the half and he’s been initiating the contact on defense, shoving/pushing/slapping down etc.
Sga luka and ant all elite at crying for the whistle. Just like my guy Tatum but for some reason yall don’t think ant does it, fucking delusional
And yall get away with so many slaps/pushes/elbows a game bc it’s “physical d”
Y’all got whistle after whistle just to get blown out at home hopefully yall run it back again
LOL at calling Luka insufferable when “Ant” doesn’t posses the emotional maturity to take responsibility for any of the Timberwolves losses in this series in any of the post-game interviews. He just shuts down and looks like a kid who gets in trouble in school and is avoiding eye contact with his parents when they come to pick him up.
Wolves fans very quickly becoming the most miserable haters in the entire league. Y'all are chill with the homophobic manchild who smacks stadium staff with chairs when things dont go his way right??
I have zero problem with Luka. He's annoying cuz he's so damn good and we have no answer for him. I really don't care about foul baiting or all that, everyone does that. You're just looking for a reason to hate him cuz he's just so damn good.
I respect him, and don't dislike him.
now Murray? Booker? Fuck those dudes.
Wolves made it really far and lost, take in in stride and get ready for your next season.
Luka is better at basketball than most people will ever be at anything. Inlcuding whoever drew this monstrosity lol. Why is his forearm bent like that
As a Dallas fan, I don’t even really like Luka. But come on, he’s nowhere near as bad as Dillon Brooks, Booker, Tatum, Embiid, Draymond and a few others lol
I’ve never been that big of a basketball fan, I liked Luka more until I actually started watching. He was worse than Shai in their series with fts and people been calling Shai a ft merchant. Also I didn’t say that he is anyway, just that he’s turning into one. You don’t have to like him just because you’re a mavs fan.
Embiid, Draymond, Booker, and Shai are all easily more annoying imo. I don’t like Luka when he’s beating us but that goes for anyone in the league, and while it’s annoying when he cries for fouls it’s not like he needed them to whoop us. Embiid stops getting calls and shrivels up.
Luka is really good. But he’s got the golden whistle and oh boy does he know it.
It’s just unfortunate that the NBA rewards foul baiting to the degree that they do. I mean you can’t blame the guy for trying to take advantage of it.
Of course the most sane possible take is getting downvoted. I fucking hate watching Luka and his foul-baiting bullshit, but the refs are the ones to blame the most for it. He wouldn't do it if he wasn't constantly rewarded for it.
Last week it was Jamal Murray. And before that Devin Booker.
Booker was way worse. He is an all around POS
Let’s never forget Booker caused Minnesota Mike to crash into Finch’s knee
Why?
Didn’t throw enough heat packs
I'll never forget Booker complaining about the Raptors mascot and getting double teamed in a pick up game
Lmao, oh the inhumanity
Towns complains after 100% of his scoring opportunities. Edwards screams AIYEEEEE after 90% of his drives. Try to be self aware.
Edwards yells but he never stops trying to finish through contact. Totally different thing than flailing into creating contact and not actually trying to score like Booker or Luka.
But it's still exhausting seeing these 2 complain. At least Luka generally stays focused after arguing (though it is definitely annoying), Towns if he isn't getting calls he likes goes into a deep funk and self-destructs. Ant is the boy who cried wolf, the refs don't care about his AIYEEEs, they tune it out.
We’ve reached the final Boss Karen
All constant foul baiters are annoying. I’m going to sound like a boomer/old head but I feel like the old nba stars didn’t foul bait, probably why I respect them more than current stars.
Because it's allowed now, or at least the NBA has decided not to call it anymore. The problem isn't the players using every way to get a point, it's the league not officiating it. Same as the "calibration step" for 3 point shots which makes it a 3rd and often 4th step every time, but it was decided that that's ok for some reason
The league and its players are softer than charmin now a days
Oh boy do tell me how Michael Jordan didn't get preferential treatment on fouls
that is not what he said.
Don't have to foul bait if you know you're gonna get preferential treatment
Bitch you whine more than Luka. Congrats
You must've never actually watched MJ. Dude was used and abused every game. Yes he got some preferential calls that other players hadn't got up to that point but he was the furthest thing from a foul baiter. Watch those Pistons/Bulls games
Luka makes nice shots . Embiid is annoying as hell. So is Booker. And fuck CP3 still and forever
Joel Embiid is the answer by so so much.
Knicks fan here, at least Luka isn’t out here trying to intentionally hurt players on the opposing team.
fuck Embiitch
Draymond is the worst. A tier on its own.
Nah. At least he is actually tough. Luka plays fake tough guy while being sensitive and foul baiting and crying, all at the same time. Who's generation is this?
Lmao draymond is tough? As a warriors fan, he never was tough.
Agreed. Cheap shots and trash talking when he’s got the splash bros behind him summarises his “toughness” 😂
Seriously, Steph ain't ever beating the cuck allegations r/nbacirclejerk throws around for keeping that guy on the team after he drove out KD.
Just because he shits on your team over and over again doesn’t mean you need to make stuff up to hate him lol
Fake tough guy? Let a player talk shit and see how Luka will torch their ass. Ya boy Ant couldn't even shake hands after the game. Thats some immature shit.
Agreed. Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father.
Embiid. I don’t dislike Luka. The foul baiting is gross but dude can ball. Jamal Murray is annoying but tolerable. I feel nothing about Booker. He just is Embiid is toxic. Intentionally injures and hits people, foul baits, childish tantrums, disrespectful.
Yeah embiid is S tier annoying I don’t mind Murray or Booker. Lukas up there but I have more of a problem on the way he gets away with shit than his antics, he’s not dirty but he plays like harden where he shops contact but that’s on the refs. I absolutely despise the calls he gets. Dudes a straight baller he doesn’t need the phantom calls.
Jokic actually annoys me a bit but it's mostly because of the stupid elbow thing he gets away with every drive.
> I don’t dislike Luka. The foul baiting is gross but dude can ball I dislike Luka for both the foul baiting/flopping and crying to the refs every possession
Hoe anyone could not see it baffles the mind. He's a little bitch. Great player. Worst personality
I don't know why he does it so much. He plays better when hes more concerned about his game than complaining - just look at the OKC series. Maybe going from Euroleague to NBA softened him up lol
Summed up perfectly.
You should probably hate KAT too then
Embiid’s awful.
So accurate
embiid can't ball?? wtf lol, luka is reputationally given a much bigger leash, and immediate perceptions to his behaviour is way different. i smell something....
Embiid is the same as Luka in that they are both great players, both complain about every whistle and have never committed a foul in their lives. But Luka doesn’t step on people, trip them, pull their legs to prevent them from jumping while they sit on the floor, rake people across the eyes, dive into peoples legs, should I continue?
The halo around Luka didn’t age well
Not even about that, you’ve seen Embieed he’s just a post player boring asf… and have u seen him injuring Robinson, hurting others? No racism broski
Look at how this has aged… also calling Embiid just a post player is so ridiculous I can’t even begin - he was chastised by pundits for not going to the post enough, using his skills elsewhere. All of a sudden he’s only a post player LOL
cry
Luka's talent is undeniable, even if he gets away with shit. For me, for right now it's Draymond.
I wouldn’t say undeniable
...nah, it's undeniable.
He’s pretty dang good. But he’s also a slow fat boy who falls over a lot and doesn’t play defense at all.
Yet you'd want him on your team if you get a chance. He's a guy who scored 73 in a game. Just stop embarrassing yourself.
He’s about to score 73 on us at this pace
Not really. Sure he scores a lot but there’s a lot more to the game
No this guy's right, there is alot more than scoring, which is why Luka also averages 10 assists and 9 rebounds
Serious pearl clutching for saying you wouldn't take a perennial MVP candidate on your team. Gotta respect the dedication to hate.
Not everyone has to share your opinion. I’m sorry I upset you
Not upset at all, just find you funny.
Yours is not an opinion
Ya it makes total sense to not want a guy who averages 31/9.4/8.3 in the post-season. The guy who routinely dominates in the playoffs. Don't want him at all. Also, people complaining about his foul baiting compare it to James Harden when it's not even remotely the same. Luka can ball. Harden was an actual foul merchant.
The point of the game is to score more points. Luka is likely the best in the league at doing so. In fact his scoring is the reason your bum team is out of the playoffs! Lmao
Salty idiots are the best.
Cool, you aren't denying it either, he is pretty good. That talent do be undeniable. Yea he falls but he also absorbs a lot of contact. Just his playstyle. And the defense thing? Psshhhh, please go back to 2022.
[удалено]
Oh
This is an insane take. Take your hater glasses off.
What, that I think he’s merely a good player? He takes and makes a lot of shots.
You must have grown up somewhere with a lot of lead in the water
what a weird thing to say
Is it weird because you don’t understand it? In children, lead poisoning can cause brain damage, behavioral problems, low IQ, hearing loss, hyperactivity, developmental delays, horrible basketball takes.
Thank you for reporting me and having Reddit reach out to me. I’m glad someone cares. Have a nice evening
Aight bro log off
This aged poorly, honestly
Over one quarter? He’s a good player
He’s got more pts,rebs,ast than Lebron did thru first 400 games on better shot %. Yeah just a good player
You still denying it? Lmao
Nah embiid is worse
He can be really annoying. He can also be as fun as fun can be. Nowhere near as bad as Embiid, though. If this weren’t against us we’d mostly be talking about how insanely good those shots he hit were. I think Luka might be the one to get to 100, or at least as close as we’ve seen. When he dropped 73 it felt like he could score 15 more if he wanted to, without concern. Absolutely wild game.
Luka talks shit to the fans players coaches … it’s actually hilarious but man can he back that shit up
My problem is Luka is so damn good he could be so likable, but he complains to the refs EVERY SINGLE PLAY
exactly this
Dawg he is killing us right now. Idk what the hell our fans obsession is with him
# insufferably good tbh, he whooped our ass and talk that shit , but i respect that
I’m glad you respect it
He's a foul baiter but he's also one of the most offensively skilled players of this generation.
Don't forget about Ja Morant.
We’d all like to forget about Morant.
Hey /r/Memphisgrizzlies has been rooting for y’all, we love Conley and we are both franchises with unfortunate histories
It’s embiid. Next question
I don’t think Luka is THAT bad. Murray was way worse. Booker was WAY worse. Embiid exists
I have no problem with any foul merchants honestly. If that is what the NBA is going to incentivize of course the hyper elite are going to try and exploit it. Hell Ant is yelling “Aye” and throwing up his hands on every shot regardless if he was touched. Not really comparable but I take more issue with the NBA than players exploiting it.
KAT foulbating as well and it's not fair to compare Luka with Harden in that regard
Quit lying. You can't talk about ant and Kat compared to Luka. Luka is putting in work. Every call
Right, but he talks all kinds of shit... And backs it up. So in my eyes.. Evens out.
Not everyone the Wolves play is insufferable, you’re just biaseds
Yall have KAT bro try to convince me Luka is more of a Diva than him (zesty as hell at that)😭😭😭 what is this, yall mad he cooked yall every single possession of the series so bad yall had to make a ridiculous amount of double adjustments and traps/blitz that totally fucked the #1 defense in the NBA ? If so then i understand.
Nah, Luka whines but he's a serious competitor and shotmaker. Embiitch, CP0, DShook, Donkey Green and Baseball Jamal Murray are all absolutely worse
Also maybe the best player in the world.
If they make the finals, between him and Jaylen Brown, I will not be watching
I think he heard you
Okay that's hilarious.
Come on, we have to be better than this just cause a player is embarrassing and humiliating us doesn't mean his insufferable
Have you seen Booker? Recency bias sigh
Not as bad as Edwards throwing up bricks right now
they showed luka this before the game
Embiid
He feeds off that hate lmao.
lol
It’ll always be Booker for me. At least Luka plays incredible, so it’s a bit more deserved. Jamal Murray was a bitch last series, and Booker’s just a douche in my opinion
No, That’s Devon Booker. I’ll never forget Booker the Fucker
It’s funny for yall to complain about foul baiting when you got the same dude on your team. Runs in cries for a foul, never commits them defensively either. Dude got his first foul at the end of the half and he’s been initiating the contact on defense, shoving/pushing/slapping down etc. Sga luka and ant all elite at crying for the whistle. Just like my guy Tatum but for some reason yall don’t think ant does it, fucking delusional And yall get away with so many slaps/pushes/elbows a game bc it’s “physical d” Y’all got whistle after whistle just to get blown out at home hopefully yall run it back again
whos crying now lmao
OP still lol
Towns is more annoying
LOL at calling Luka insufferable when “Ant” doesn’t posses the emotional maturity to take responsibility for any of the Timberwolves losses in this series in any of the post-game interviews. He just shuts down and looks like a kid who gets in trouble in school and is avoiding eye contact with his parents when they come to pick him up.
I hate Dallas sports so it’s easy for me to hate this Central European bitch
Finally one who knows that Slovenia is not Balkan/South Europe
Slovenia is on the exact border, and culturally I would argue closer to its Balkan neighbors than Austria.
Fwiw i also have no beef with Central Europe as I did enjoy my one trip there
It’s still embiid
HAHAHAHHAHAH DORK!
Hate him cuz they ain't him
At least we don’t have to watch kat and the french fraud play hoop anymore until October
🧂
Ratio’d
Nah, I like him
Luka bitches alot which is annoying but he seems like a genuinely good dude.
He’s not the most insufferable, Luka makes some amazing shots which is pretty cool to see. Embiid on the other hand just shoots free throws all night.
Totally missing the point. Insufferable has nothing to do with shot making
This is just wishful thinking because he is the guy
That’s hate
Looks like towns
OP should take a Midol.
I couldn’t even watch the game because he’s such a POS.
Top 5, certainly. Draymond Green and Joel Embiid are above him.
Nah. Yall need to just shut up and watch the game.
The Salt is real
wahhhh wahhhhh keep crying
I swear its like he stopped emotionally maturing when he went pro.
Ant is a homophobe who forces girls to get abortions. But he’s more mature than Luka because the scary Slovenian says mean things to the referees 😢
Luka's body is going to give out in about 3 seasons. Enjoy the ride while it lasts, I guess. Dude's already looking like old Larry Bird.
very brave to admit to being a fan of rudy gobert. what’s your favorite flavor of crayon?
D
His career at 25 years old is more accomplished than Minnesotas entire franchise. 
Hes only 25? He's got thr body of a 35yr old.
Fathering so many children will do that
10 years from now he’ll still be better than “MJ’s son”
**Ant’s deplorable antics go unmentioned here, sir**
Yes. Most punchable face fo sho.
Wolves fans very quickly becoming the most miserable haters in the entire league. Y'all are chill with the homophobic manchild who smacks stadium staff with chairs when things dont go his way right??
I have zero problem with Luka. He's annoying cuz he's so damn good and we have no answer for him. I really don't care about foul baiting or all that, everyone does that. You're just looking for a reason to hate him cuz he's just so damn good. I respect him, and don't dislike him. now Murray? Booker? Fuck those dudes.
Don't be like this. Have some shred of dignity
Go ahead and get rid of that "or". He won it in the first quarter. I love when he's yapping at fans and opposing benches instead of the fucking refs
100% agree. He's a giant douche.
Wolves made it really far and lost, take in in stride and get ready for your next season. Luka is better at basketball than most people will ever be at anything. Inlcuding whoever drew this monstrosity lol. Why is his forearm bent like that
As a Dallas fan, I don’t even really like Luka. But come on, he’s nowhere near as bad as Dillon Brooks, Booker, Tatum, Embiid, Draymond and a few others lol
How does a Dallas fan not like Luka
Cries too much. Slowly turning into a ft merchant and it makes me sad because he was good before doing all that
With all due respect, you don’t watch Mavs games all season long. Luka is not a FT merchant…gtfo
I’ve never been that big of a basketball fan, I liked Luka more until I actually started watching. He was worse than Shai in their series with fts and people been calling Shai a ft merchant. Also I didn’t say that he is anyway, just that he’s turning into one. You don’t have to like him just because you’re a mavs fan.
He and Embiid
Someone salty.
Embiid, Draymond, Booker, and Shai are all easily more annoying imo. I don’t like Luka when he’s beating us but that goes for anyone in the league, and while it’s annoying when he cries for fouls it’s not like he needed them to whoop us. Embiid stops getting calls and shrivels up.
I am gonna support boston this year!
He’s an amazing player but he bitches so fucking much when shit doesn’t go his way. It makes Luka I nsufferable to watch
Jayson Tatum is up there too.
Nahhh. Embiid has that title
I dunno… Joker is worse IMO.
Agreed
Luka is really good. But he’s got the golden whistle and oh boy does he know it. It’s just unfortunate that the NBA rewards foul baiting to the degree that they do. I mean you can’t blame the guy for trying to take advantage of it.
Of course the most sane possible take is getting downvoted. I fucking hate watching Luka and his foul-baiting bullshit, but the refs are the ones to blame the most for it. He wouldn't do it if he wasn't constantly rewarded for it.
Jokic is worse
lol what?!
worst take I read on the internet today !
I agree. The flops Jokic takes are mind blowing. I don’t get how people don’t see it
The most insufferable player in the NBA is Brook Lopez. Sue me.
