Sk*p Bayless, R*shad Phillips & 13-year-old Trae stans be hating on Luka Doncic for no reason at all.
Meanwhile Michael Jeffrey Jordan aka the greatest player of all-time:
Royce O'Neale woke up feeling dangerous in Game 3:
32 minutes
2 points
0% FG
0% 3PT
2 turnovers
4 fouls
-13
3+ dirty plays on Jalen Brunson & held him to 31 points on 55% shooting
It is impossible to imagine Luka Doncic scoring only 11 points on 21% shooting & 0% from 3, being a -41 in 37 minutes, trailing by 46 points in a Game 7, & getting dumped by his girl right after the playoff series loss.
Sources: Kyrie Irving, Nets are at impasse in conversations about his future in Brooklyn, clearing way for the seven-time All-Star to consider the open market. Lakers and Knicks expected to emerge among potential suitors.

Tim Hardaway Sr says Tim Hardaway Jr is underutilized on the Mavs roster
"Tim is their best shooter on the court and they don't hunt for him. Everything is going to Luka and Kyrie. You gotta get other people involved and other people open to make it easier."…
Stephen A Smith: "Luka Donchick & Kyrie Irving are great. Imagine if Dallas can just defend."
Michael Wilbon: "In your dreams. They can't stop anybody."
Keyshawn Johnson: "92 points is a lot. 41% field goal is too high."
Chris Broussard: "Warriors are still a tier above them."
11 years ago TODAY, "the Corey Brewer game" happened.
Mavs were down by 16 at the start of the 3rd quarter then everything changed when Brewer entered the game for 8 minutes (+11 in that stretch.)
Mavs ended up stealing Game 1 in LA.
Luka Doncic was only 21 when he hit the game-winning step-back 3 at the buzzer while dropping 43-17-13 on 58% shooting against Kawhi Leonard & Paul George's team.
3 games since the trade, the Mavs have held:
- OKC to 38.8% FG
- WAS to 41.5% FG
- SAS to 36.7% FG
Mavs have outrebounded them by a total of 32 rebounds.
I normally don't do this but:
1. The Luka-less Mavs just got blown out by the 13-win Pistons' 3rd strings.
2. Denver at full strength just lost to the team with the worst record in the West in the Spurs.

*Luka Doncic put up 45/12/8 in a playoff loss*
Twitter: "He's a ballhog man. Empty stats & doesn't make his teammates better."
*Any other superstar/star put up monster stat line in a loss*
Twitter: "He had no help man. Free him. Let him go somewhere else."
*sound on*
Mike Breen's questions were immediately answered in the very next Mavs possession in which Luka tried to trust & get his teammates more involved.
The greatest shooting big man swept your franchise in the first round of the playoffs back in 2002 while averaging 33.3 PPG, 15.7 RPG, 3 SPG on 53/73/89 shooting splits.
Dorian Finney-Smith has made 41.7% of his 3's on 175 attempts in the playoffs while defending the best offensive player on the opposing team every game. He was special.
