How well does the luka/booker meme age?

It would have been the same for the suns.

They let Dallas take the beating.

Anyone good with photoshop have a way to reverse this meme?

Booker looked dumb as hell mocking them and deserved to get the "Luka Special".

Am I insane or did the last few games go by super quick? I swear I was just seeing Booker say the "Luka special" thing. My god

I think Luka and Booker would make a superb duo TBH. Wish there was some way to get them on the same team.

Wouldn't be my first or even top 5 choice of a "star" to pair with him. Luka in theory can pair with almost any player.

Fair enough. I didn't say they'd be the best duo btw... just feel they would make an excellent duo as they'd complement each other in attack and their personalities would gel. It's also a duo that seems somewhat realistic... and one that people won't be able to dismiss for being too overpowering (like the Shaq-Kobe duo).

Out of curiosity, which 5 stars are your choice to pair with Luka?

Yes in theory. The Mavs already paired Luka with a star in Porzingis and it failed. The Unicorn failed with Luka.

The Mavs missed the playoffs without Brunson.

I said "Star", Who the hell cares about Porzingis lol. But yes, It's all theory until we can actually see him with another star.

Buddy was down 40 in a game 7 after mocking Luka all series, this meme ages incredibly well regardless of what happens.

While not realistic I think I'd go
1. Jokic
2. Giannis
3. Embiid
4. Tatum/Booker/KD/whoever

Realistic options
1. Lavine
2. Ayton
3. Jrue
4. Ben Simmons

You should be looking for a 2-way player/plus defender if you are playing fantasy matchmaker with Luka, somebody that can help cover for his defensive issues. Pairing him with another poor defender es no bueno.

Another dude who needs the ball all the time might also be problematic.

Giannis all the way.

Luka with Giannis would break the wheel. The universe wouldn't be able to handle such power.

Just the fact that Booker was clowning Luka and then Luka makes him eat pie in the worst way imaginable will never get old. That's a lesson in humility.

The Blazers got swept in the 2019 WCF by the Warriors but plenty of people are still raving about Dame waving goodbye to Westbrook in the first round. Why would Luka need to reach the final for this to age well? The Mavs losing to the Warriors doesn't change they beat a heavily favored Suns team. The Suns being happy they lost in the second round instead of the WCF is also such a loser mentality imo. I swear these kind of people would rather miss the play-offs than lose in the finals or conference finals.

It's going to age hilariously well once the guy Phoenix drafted over Luka decides to sign elsewhere instead of playing with that frontrunning chucker and Napoleon Flop-a-Mite.
