I am so sick of him Reply @VeredetEtienne February 26, 2026 at 1:48 pm The roster isn’t good enough Reply @FatboyReg February 26, 2026 at 4:29 pm Excuses for Luka Reply @Rayo90210 February 26, 2026 at 3:01 pm 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. Reply @FerrisBuellermydayoff February 26, 2026 at 4:33 pm You can always practice and improve your defensive. It’s basketball.
