Some pretty lolsy takes in here.
It seems like the worst takes are from those that actually don't like him. Or are really trying too hard to pump LeBron and his empty stats right now.
I'll get my house on Luka making these guys look foolish |
LeBron is also injured - he has a left ankle injury.
Additionally, this type of mentality is why the USA/Canada 4 Nations game garnered the TV ratings it did. The NBA has an existential problem (soft, coddled players) that other leagues will capitalize on soon.
The whole, "how to fix the All-Star game" is another self-explanatory question. How to fix it? Umm, how about having the players actually compete?! It's the same for the regular season - it's unwatchable and has ~10% of the intensity of the playoffs.
Rant over, but Luka, et. al. are part of the problem. Get your ass out there and play and try to give some effort on the defensive side of the court.
