If he is winning championships why would he care about LukA?

Because status is EVERYTHING for an NBA star.

Maybe this what it takes for Luka to realize how bad he is perceived and stop all the whining. Like it or not, it hurts when your peers make fun of you. Even more when turned into a meme and passed around the internet.

Who made that point? The point is that laughing about another guy's flopping when you are probably flopping more is more cringe worthy than funny. If Jokic made the joke, it would be funny.

Booker is overly arrogant and disrespectful- have really disliked him ever since he got in PG13 face while he was on the ground (and possibly injured) calling his a "soft ass . . ."

Booker is not a flopper, he regularly gets hammered driving to the hoop with no call.

If you want to make the claim about Chris Paul or Jae Crowder, I really don't have any defense.

But I think Booker was taking a dig at Doncic's whining. Luka plays the flopping game, but is known as the GOAT for whining and complaining.

Because he won't be viewed on Luka's level. That'll undoubtedly eat away at him.

Shocking the soft jump shooter doesnt get a lot of calls. He was 58th in drives per game. He gets tothe rim at one of the lowest rates in the league. Doesnt mean he doesnt flop/exaggerate

It's amazing how you don't even know your own team. That's design with the Suns, you guys take and make the most mid range shots, have the lowest attempt at the rim, and don't really care about getting to the line all that much.

This is hilarious. Even if you're a Mavericks fan or a Booker hater you gotta respect it. Game recognize game.
