It was nothing like he's describing
Luka was nominated for a defensive player of the tournament and MVP. He's had a historic run, not seen in the last 35+ years of FIBA basketball. I think he's just trying to make himself feel better now that Nico traded him
It's a common knowledge now that this was one of the worst reffed games ever in basketball and bad calls went both sides. Luka picked up ghost fouls and a T which should have never even be a T in the first 3 minutes. That already almost derailed the game for Slovenia. Then he picked up 4th foul when Schroeder tried to set up a charge but was moving and wasn't even standing in the right spot, that should have been and1. Schroeder was flopping like Embiid 2.0 entire game.
But what was happening afterwards and specially in the last 5 mins of the game, should be studied. Slovenian only center picked up 2 quick fouls on Theis even though he barely did anything. Then another Slovenian player who even barely touched a German player, was T'ed up, etc.... You should have watched the game to fully understand what kind of nonsense these refs were doing entire game.
Would just like to add that entire team and coach congratulated Germany for the win, it had nothing to do with them. It was mostly refs that were insanely bad. If you want to see how a game of 5v8 looks like, re-watch this match.
