my point is these guys have a lot to do before anyone talks even top 75 or top 100. People want to call someone all time great before they do anything

Just you called Mavs in the finals When you see all time greats you got to be able to tell. West and Dirk both said Luka will be better than Dirk. Mark Jackson even argued he should be selected Top 75. If Luka is kidnapped by aliens today at 23, he will be in HOF without a question one day. That's how much he has done.

Dirk is humble as hell - Dirk humble as HELL...Dirk actually is under appreciated and Luka Not better than prime Dirk - don’t forget Dirk gave Barkley 40 when Dirk wasn’t even in nba yet.

If Dirk came to the nba right now as a youngster and went to a team (other than Dallas that wasted most of his damn career) Dirk would/could and damn well should have been at least considered as good as KD...yep I said it...plus I think Dirk beating the Heattles makes Dirks ring more significant than either of KDs...I think Dirk definitely has had better years than any of Lukas... Luka was worse this year than any of his other years. If Luka doesn’t improve from where he is right now he is not gonna win a mvp or be on the level of Dirk...stop being blasphemous!

Amd yes I still got the mavs in finals....but Luka getting to finals doesn’t make that dude dirk! Stop being crazy! Dirk in the pantheon and Luka isn’t

Of course Luka is not better than Dirk yet, but he just turned 23. Dirk had not made all star or all nba at this stage yet. Those are my two babies, proud of Dirk but would not be mad if Luka turns out better than him at all :lol:

If Dirk was 20 right now he would be coming into an nba where a 7’ can be a natural SF or play center and would get better usage because he would be coming in this era....Can you imagine Dirk today.....mvp mvp mvp

Dallas moves Nash and thus 2 MVPs got 1 ring between Them

Looks to me like he simply looks up at the fans and smiles

Watch the video in the Tweet until the end... and turn on the volume. You may have left it on mute.

Buwhaha. I watch that video multiple times. I definitely had the sound. I must have literally somehow stopped it before the very last second every time

Ok, ignore my previous post :lol:

FWIW, Booker and CP3 were laughing *with* Luka the previous game when Luka drew a foul on CP3 and said it was a good play.
Booker putting on a show for the fans would be my guess - yknow, these guys arent introverts like RealGM guys.

Sometimes you guys are just way too serious.
That’s a sign of having nothing to do. Making a mountain out of a mole hill.

You don't understand

These grown men being paid tens of millions of dollars and living the top 1% of 1% life need keyboard warriors to defend their honour

Booker does flop sometimes but he is more of a complainer as he often berates the refs for foul calls he feels he should have gotten.

He isn't even one of the league leading free throw leaders so I doubt those calling him a flopper actually watch Suns games.

The peak at the camera was hilarious

I used to have a Serbian neighbor he used the term pichka kuratz a lot when he was ticked off. I think pichka kuratz was used there by Luka

Because status is EVERYTHING for an NBA star.

You're wrong... and if you're right then I would hate for Booker to be playing for Suns... as a suns fan. I would want players only caring for winning.

But I'm pretty sure you're wrong, at least half wrong because plenty of stars care about winning.

Nobody likes a front runner.

I see American dudes are at it again? Hope this goes just as well as LeCringe and Wade's fake cough at Dirk

that's great because Luka is the biggest frontrunner in the league. all cocky and showboating for the crowds when his team is up but borderline suicidal at even the slightest difficulty. the key to beating him and the Mavs is getting an early lead and keeping it.

Do you know which team had the most comebacks, when 10+ points down this season?

Truly a groundbreaking strategy.

He implied that Mavs are not coming back, if they're down. But the funny thing is that Mavs has had the most comebacks in entire Nba, when they were 10+ points down.

Oh, they do care about winning too, I'm not saying they are not, I guess I could have worded that better. My argument is that contrary to the popular belief, winning is not everything for them. They want to win, but they also want to get the credit of being the best player on the team, being the best player in the league, and what might be the most important factor for them is how their peers view them.

Booker is just jealous. Luka is the kind of superstar Booker wanted to be, but will never be.

Bob8 · Post #157 » by **Bob8** » Thu May 12, 2022 8:52 am

I kinda doubt that Twitter is the right place for Booker to get what he wants.

There's really easy path for Booker, he just has to win the title and he will get recognition he wants. Perfect year for Suns to do it too.

Booker is 9-3 against Luka in his career. Ayton and Bridges too.

Booker just finished ahead in the MVP, is drastically more efficient, and actually can defend a paper bag.

Also he was just voted higher in the MVP, so he is viewed as good.

bc he never won as the best player and luka is a better player?

He is currently the best player. Was last year too, and basically his entire career since year 2. So last year and this year, he made the finals as the best player and is the current 1 seed as the best player. Who is better on Phoenix this season?
