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
not sure if you're a NA watcher but nothing abnormal in FIBA, maybe a few ones got missed yes but pretending that's on every move definitely not.

Where is the technical for NAW for taunting?

Luke proving once again that he is the most overrated player in the world.

Joke refereeing.
Apparently, it was his second tech.

They can’t yell it at refs 87 times I guess.

It was his second tech and he's been complaining tons all game (warranted or not). The joke was all the complaining from Slovenia. How many techs do the refs have to hand out before they shut up?

Hey this Prepelic guy is really annoying. Complains just like Luka, plays alright, except nowhere near as good.

Have you not watched this whole game or the tournament?
Fiba hand out techs for complaining after an initial warning. It’s been consistent each game.
And he wasn’t tossed for that incident, he was tossed because it was his second tech foul.
I believe the same for Brooks as well.

Hahaha good on the refs, fiba refs showing nba refs how it should be done if a player cries too much.
Even without that ejection, the talent (depth) disparity was too much for Slovenia to overcome.

Imagine this is game 7 in the NBA, do the refs have the balls to send a superstar to the showers with a double tech? I doubt it.
That's why it doesn't matter how **** FIBA gets, I will always respect it more.

Slovenia team including the coach are a perfect fit for Luka. What a bunch of whiners. As a man I would be ashamed that this is representing my court on the world stage.

FIBA refs took over. Yeah it’s a blowout but you just ended the game right there.

Luka is annoying, no doubt.
But that did not look like something that warranted a 2nd technical.
Hopefully will be a learning experience.*
*It wont be. Its ingrained in him.
