I wonder what Brooks said lol.

He just took away Canada's main Luka defender. Villain Brooks can't help himself. At least Canada still has Dort, but now it's easier for Doncic to dictate his matchup.

Wish they’d give him techs like that in the nba, the constant crying is so annoying.

I find his constant complaining to be quite annoying but he's getting hacked every single time. He's really getting bludgeoned on every drive


He's not, everytime he goes to the basket he moves toward the defender to bait the ref. His last basket of the 3rd quarter is a perfect example as after release he changes his motion to initiate contact.


He is... he's getting hammered every drive.

It is what it is but you can't say he's faking it

Why was he tossed?

Players can't say they were hit on the arm?

Joke refereeing.

NBA created this baby. They encouraged this behavior from Luka. Glad he got ejected. He is so hard to watch.
