This guy is so damn good, but my god does he whine and complain after literally EVERY.SINGLE.PLAY he's involved in?
It's just painful trying to watch a great series and this guy is whining more than Chris Paul on any call that doesn't go his way.

Does anyone remember a superstar complaining this much?

No.

Has there ever been a topic re-heated more often than this one?

Nor one more factual

I've been on this board for a long time. I can't remember any Luka whining topics recently?

Have you ever watched Nejmar play soccer?

DeMarcus Cousins says hi. I don't blame anyone for not watching these DeMarcus led teams, though.

LeBron stands out to me more and it seems to have only got worse as his career has gone on

I really do wonder what these so called “superstars” would be without the whistle. Such double standards by the refs between guys like luka and any other ordinary joe. Today the reversed a foul on luka because he cried and pleaded and they challenged the play which there was clearly contact but they ruled it no foul

I'd wager Luka has LeBron beat when it comes to complaining when comparing whole careers at this point.

Don't think so. Andre Iguodala would complain about every call, that's the closest one I can remember. Chris Paul is also up there. But Luka actively takes himself out of plays to complain to the ref sometimes, that's a whole another level.

He just made the conference finals, and we have topics like this...

I can only think of LeBron at this point.

He whines too much but the referees have been the only reason this series have been so competitive. It felt everytime Dallas was riding the wave they decided to call everything a shooting or ofensiva fault for the Thunder. Dallas is the biggest, strongest team dominating the paint and It was like every contact was allowed to Thunder players and half the contact to Mavs.

The OKC Durant/Westbrook/Harden breakup holds the record for most threads

I'd say LeBron and Luka are top 2, but Luka is a tier above LeBron in that category if that makes sense

Bron x 100

Multiple threads per year of people being mad at LeBron because he was arguing and the other team went on to score. That was some prime complaining.

I agree with this it horrible to watch such a talent but such a child.

This.
Both things could be true at the same time:
1. Luka whines too much, probably the most in the league (among players with 65+ RS games )
2. At least in this postseason, he's got the worst whistle, not only among superstars.
