The Mavericks were relentless attacking the basket though and that is where they hurt Booker. The Mavericks were 9-of-11 on twos defended by Booker. It would be difficult to shoot that well in an empty gym. In at least one case, after Jalen Brunson bodied Booker into the stanchion, Brunson was essentially in an empty gym despite a mild contest from Deandre Ayton.

What you posted is talking about Mavericks(suchbas Brunson, DFS, Bullock, etc) not just Luka. The initial tweet you quoted is talking about Luka vs Booker when being guarded by 1 another.

I know and it's not true. Luka made a lot more shots over Book than just 4. He targeted him just in Dallas a ton. We all watched those games.

The tweet is about Luka vs Booker. Not Mavs vs Booker.

Do you have any proof? Cause the numbers say otherwise.

I'm not in the mood to go back and re-watch everything lol. But i would take these type of things with a grain of salt. Specially because it's coming from a random tweeter named "SunsAreBetter". If you had any more reliable sources i would say good for Booker. I also mostly link tweets from reliable people who are known stat guys or Mavs insiders. I just hate quoting random people because it literally means "It's true because i said so".

Because status is EVERYTHING for an NBA star.

Luka laughs, points, winks, etc. after just about every basket he makes. Tit for tat. I doubt he cares.

Those stats are from nba.com. I just checked. So because it doesn’t fit your narrative they aren’t true? :lol:

It's funny, some people really need to lighten up. The funny thing in some of these situations is that the players are likely having a laugh about it, while their fans come out to defend their honor as if they are feeling disrespected.

Luka likes to do the little smile or wink after some plays or if he gets away with something. I always thought the laying on the floor was a sneaky way to get some more rest.

You also said that Luka made more than 4 shots over Booker and repeatedly targeted him in Dallas specifically.

This is a funny clip. Booker is a huge complainer, which makes it funnier. Both can be true.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

It sure felt like he had more than 4 made shots directly over him.

The only one jelly if this happens would be Luka. Careers and greatness are defined by titles and finals MVPs/league MVPs.


Partly, sure. But everyone rates Barkley, Nash or Malone higher than a Klay Thompson or an Anthony Davis, I think we can agree on that. Just reread what you wrote. We actually mostly agree, MVP awards are a huge part, and I think Luka has a much higher chance of winning that one than Booker does.

That's what they say, yes, it is not how they act. They are whining at every supposed snub or disrespecting article or their fellow peers just not counting them among the best players in polls.

This one made me smile. "I am not in the mood to go rewatch the game....but don't trust the guys that rewatched the game and counted the stats".

I really don't know the exact stats, but from watching -- Mavs double pretty quick whenever Booker gets the ball. He seems to score pretty easy against single coverage by the Mavs. Doncic or whomever is on defense.

You're making things up now. I said i don't trust random tweets from random people. From watching It felt like he had more because Luka was attacking him a lot and so did Brunson and IF the stat is correct i will admit it, and i said GOOD FOR BOOKER.

Historians look at who was the #1 option and Curry ranks higher than all if the ones mentioned. KD wasn't ranked as high until he got his ring.
