Hits guys in the nuts. Has his mom sign half of his autographs and is rewarded with a Panini Exclusive deal.

Of course he staired him down because he did mean to hit him, but I bet he didn't even realize that he hit him between the legs.

Are we slowly seeing the true Luka emerge?

Shows up to the season overweight

Whines like a 2 year old constantly

Temper gets the best of him...resulting in 15 Technical fouls... 1 shy of one game suspension

Punching a guy in the gonads who gets under your skin

Did I forget anything?

I'll take a player that averages 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists a game and makes his team better any day. He certainly needs to work on his temper but the positives far out weigh the negatives.

This is supposedly the face of a franchise. Bad temper, constant whining and punching people are things you can live with... As long as he puts up 28 points a game?

I don't recall ever seeing this in a franchise player before. MJ? Magic? Giannis? LeBron? Dame Time? Garnett? Carter? Shaq? Barkley? Maybe I'm forgetting it.... Help me out if you know anyone.

LOL must be a huge dong for it to be situated by the navel - or there is something wrong with his physiology. Which brings us to the discussion of physiological inferiority. I think we can steer clear of that one. I guess BDM. LOL Interesting takes here.

Don't forget his mom forged over half of his rookie autographs and Panini covered it up with an exclusive deal for the future.

Shaq, Barkley, and Garnett have all gotten into multiple fights in the league and threw punches. Lebron whines more than anyone in the league. I don't think that these issues have hurt their legacy because they were all winners. Everyone loses their temper occasionally. It just happens when playing a competitive sport.

Threw punches in that region? I seriously doubt that. I'd be interested in seeing the video if you have it. Now... Dennis Rodman? Ok... That I understand. He kicked a camera man in that region and I believe he got suspended.

When you have 4 rings and carry the league on your back for more than a decade....

Good lord.

That was soft to be ejected for.

A bit silly by Luka though.

Oh look a defender has emerged that disregards all evidence to promote their investment.

Always the chosen deflection. Oh God, the Luka fans disagrees with something. It must be because he's protecting his money in Luka!

You think my life begins and ends with my Luka cards that I have no plans on selling? I don't even have a paycheck in the guy. It's not that serious.

Luka's gotta get smarter with his temper but I'm all about that fire. If he only joked and smiled on the court he'd be Dwight Howard.

Where does he stand with technicals now? Does it impact the playoffs for him yet?

We still have to keep in mind how young Luka is. Although he looks like he could be pushing 30 he's only 22 years old and has not fully matured mentally yet. Just think back at what you were doing at 22. Im sure we were not all 35 mentally.

Oh, absolutely. I'm not even against what he did last night - he's just got to mask it better like all the other superstars. Didn't LeBron recently dangerously push Embiid midair and cause him to fall on his back? That's a bit worse than what Luka did last night.

Just running around punching dudes in the nuts. That’s what we all did at 22.

Do you consider D-Wade a franchise player?

You clearly were not around in the MJ, Magic and Barkley days. They threw punches frequently. It was like the wild west back then compared to today. What Luka did would have been praised as tough basketball back then!
