Realistically, Luka won’t change his game, and style to where it is focused on defense. He is an offensive player, and m a playmaker, but defense isn’t one of his strong attributes. People just have to accept him for what he’s only capable of.

You can always practice and improve your defensive. It’s basketball.

But you can teach and coach defense but doesn’t have a head coach that can do that or offense.

That guy is clearly anti-Luca Doncic, S. A. Smith is one of the most Racist people in sports history.

If Luka could play defense, then the Dallas Mavericks wouldn’t have traded hm. “Defense wins Championships” – Nico Harrison
