00:00Alright, let's get into, John, I wanted to talk about, it's really early for this, like everyone, it's obviously very
00:07early to talk about the MVP, but there are some early candidates here, obviously, Luka, I think last year, if
00:17he didn't tear his hamstring up, he would have been in the conversation a little bit more, but he averaged,
00:23I think, 33 points a game last year, like he led the league in scoring last year.
00:27He's at 38.8, like I said earlier, that's an NBA best. His last five games, John, Luka Doncic's last
00:33five games, 43.4 points per game on 53, 44, 89, with four 40-point games. Like, how insane is
00:45that? That's like prime James Harden numbers.
00:47Can I ask you a question, though?
00:49Yes.
00:50And be honest, be honest, be honest. Are you impressed?
00:55No.
00:56Because I'm not. See? See? See?
00:58Well, here's the point.
00:59This is what he can do. Now, if you told me he was leading the league in rebounds and blocked
01:05shots, or rebounds and steals, or defensive efficiency, now I'm blown away. But we knew he could score.
01:14It was never a question if Luka could score. And that's why I was so high on the Lakers to
01:18get to the regular season wins. Like, I thought they would be an awesome top four regular season team because
01:24of this guy right here, and because of the offensive output that he puts forth. I mean, Giannis just called
01:30him one of the best scorers of all time.
01:32Oh, you know, hold time out, hold time out, time out, time out, time out, time out, time out, time
01:35out.
01:35Wait, wait, can I say something before you make your argument?
01:37Okay, okay, okay.
01:38Career scoring average of 29.3 points behind only Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. I'll just say that.
01:46Hey, Giannis. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. Man up and guard him. How about you do that?
01:53Cook.
01:53You run your mouth, Giannis, so much. You think you're so much of a difference maker. Giannis has now become
02:03the guy, and I like Giannis, so don't get me wrong about this, but.
02:05Giannis has become the guy because he won. He thinks he's always won. You understand what I'm saying? Like, yeah,
02:11yeah.
02:12He talks like he is LeBron. He talks like he is Steph Curry. He talks like he is KD. You're
02:20not, buddy. You're not. Stop saying somebody, one of the greatest scorers ever, when he just boned y'all.
02:26What were you doing when he was dropping threes on people? Well, what were you doing? Like, I'm, I'm, I'm,
02:34I, again, I'm a huge Giannis fan. But, Giannis, what are you doing?
02:38You're supposed to change Miami. Why is Bam standing in the corner? Like, so, yeah.
02:44We haven't talked about Miami either. I mean, Miami's two and five.
02:48Well, the, and they were 0 and 4. The, the Lakers blew y'all out because the calling card for
02:55the Heat at this point was supposed to be y'all defense.
02:58Led by you and Bam. Not all physically, because people knew you guys were going to have trouble scoring because
03:03the court was going to be shrunk.
03:05But now you can't score and y'all can't stop nobody? So you shouldn't be out here touting, touting somebody
03:10as the greatest scorer, you know, to go up there with the prime guy.
03:14Shut up and guard somebody, buddy.
03:17I think that whole team needs to do that. Eric Spolstra's tearing his, whatever's left of his hair out. I
03:23mean, it's just like he's just so frustrated.
03:26A follicle of quarter.
03:27Yeah. I'm going to start saying that when I go to Clipper games, which I hope the Heat will be
03:33playing the Clippers on Wednesday.
03:34I will be in attendance for that one. It's going to be a disaster. The Clippers have been a disaster
03:39so far.
03:40But in any case, like the thing I will say about Luka, okay. And people are going to say that
03:46we're crazy.
03:47And I'm sure that you feel the same way here. And I'm going to go to a bigger screen so
03:51people can see me when I say this.
03:53It is an awful watch. It is an awful watch watching Luka Dacic play basketball.
04:00I mean, listen, I understand he's a prolific offensive talent. I fully get that.
04:06With that being said, he is so prolific that you don't need to complain to referees every time you go
04:12down the floor.
04:13I feel like his entire 48 minutes, even when he's on the bench, the entire 48 minutes of Laker games
04:20is just him looking at a referee, looking at a player, looking at his bench to go like this, which
04:26I hate when players do this, but they do it anyways.
04:28That is a Luka Dacic game in 2026. And the thing is, Luka, hey, buddy, you don't need to do
04:35that.
04:35You're such an awesome scorer. You don't need to be complaining and whining and crying to referees.
04:41You can play through contact because you're a six foot nine demigod of a scorer.
04:46You don't need to look at a ref for a bailout. You are such a premium talent.
04:52Don't worry about it. But it's such an awful watch. It's a chore to watch, John.
04:58The last three super scores in the NBA, and tell me if I'm wrong, James Harden became unwatchable by the
05:06style he played.
05:07Shea's unwatchable by the style he played. And now Luka, who has always been unwatchable because his physical demeanor to
05:15the referees, it's not watchable.
05:18He's an amazing player.
05:20And Reeves, too. His running mate, Reeves, too.
05:23Just unwatchable. It's got to stop. It's got to stop, man.
05:26The only game he didn't do that was the second game against the Warriors because he was locked in because
05:31Yaksu called them out.
05:33Other than that, man, it's just that he's constantly working the reps when he can easily just constantly be working
05:39the opponent.
05:40Yeah, I just don't think he needs to do that.
05:42And for me, he's the leading MVP candidate right now.
05:45So...
