Maybe if I stop cussing out the refs they'll give me some calls LMAOO I love this man Luka
As we can see all these amazing guests on JJ’s podcasts, I think we’re finding out that players are starting to find out and appreciate having a platform where they can express their honest thoughts without any agendas and questioning forcing them into a particular image created by the media. Almost everytime if not all, that player’s public perception actually improves by leaps and bounds. You can tell by how relaxed they are that they don’t agonize coming onto the pod and it seems a lot of players actually look forward to it, to finally be able to give their side of the story.
Hope jj keeps it that way, great podcast
Such a great point .. I watch all of these podcasts and feel a sense of freedom just hearing real unscripted conversations . Kudos to these players for doing these
shut up
Perfect comment 💯
@@delicatessant 🤣
He's actually improving interms of complaining. Compare to his first 3 years
🤣
He’s leading the league in technicals rn he hasn’t improved one bit and the yelling at refs still takes him out of games mentally and costs them games
He never complained his rookie year , it’s gotten bad the last two years but those last two games I have seen a big improvement like he said . I’m interested to see if that continues tho
10 months ago th-cam.com/video/2D7ZDTZlUW4/w-d-xo.html he’s all talk and just knows the right things to say to media to make him look innocent but he’s one of the most difficult players to deal with in the NBA.
Almost every day I have videos (highlights from recent games) recommended on TH-cam with him complaining about the calls,seems like he is about to fight a ref almost every game
Mr Redick is a beast at the midia thing. Luv his reasoning and the questioning line he takes. Hope for a long a successful career at this for him! Cheers
way better than Stephen A.
He's from europe and people take sports extremely differently there and in Europe talking to the ref is a sign of the player playing hard and the determination to win. It's a cultural difference... There's a difference between being competitive and talking to the ref and complaining you know.
american sports lack passion because theyre reality tv (ill still watch tho)
@@JD-rk1rn your Def an LA sports fan. Come to northeast America. Fans are passionate. You’ll see
I disagree. There's a difference between talking to the ref and complaining.
What Luka did in the past was complaining (putting it lightly).
Talking to the ref calmly is taken seriously but then so is in the USA.
While constant bitching to the ref was considered immature at least for our team (like 3 years ago)... Firstly it never gets the results you want, secondly you look like a know-it-all, and thirdly if I see an opponent complaining to the ref you best believe I will try to get the ball in play ASAP, make a fastbreak and take full 5v4 advantage of the 0.5s he takes by complaining before realising what is going on.
I know they don't do this in the NBA but it is the easiest way to shut up a complaining player... If he isn't too in love with himself of course.
He also complained a lot at Real Madrid
….and he complains.
Luka magic here in the DFW is real!!
In the past two games he really hasn’t done it and I hope he keeps it at a very minimal especially come playoff time. He’s my favorite player.
Gotta love JJ. Gets guests most others can't
In the middle of the season too
@@sergmurkin6551 wish I couldve afforded to see him play the nets
Draymond just had Joel Embild on his podcast 🤷♂️
I mean he is a recent nba player , played with most of the league now
@Ebberhardt van Graven Deel There is no point in ESPN they should be dead in the water by now. Especially shows like First Take
“Sometimes I have game with sloppy numby” legendary quote Luka 💯
Where does he say that? Sounds like he says "sloppy a little bit" does he say that anywhere else?
@@friendlyneighborhoodtoaste8216 lmaoo that’s what he’s talking about 😭 bro has no ears
Yeah I was about to say the same, where was this quoted at lol I heard him say “sloppy a little bit”
@@rjonfully4915 apparently 178+ ppl don’t either, lol
Pretty sure he’s said this before 😂 he’ll be screaming at them again soon lol
Yeah, he keeps saying this but still ends up screaming at refs as much as before. And why would he not? I'm sure it helps him win
As a coach (youth community volunteer), I've figured out that if you go after Refs they react like any other human (they hold it against you). I've tried to tone it down, or apologize quickly if I over-react to their call (or non-call), and explain I am just trying to protect my players. Between the coaches, players and fans (now that they are back)... Refs get it from all sides, constantly, and it can't help but wear on them. Don't become a Ref's focus.. either by complaining constantly or by trying to intimidate them using body language. If they are terrible, adjust and deal with it after the game or have someone on staff bring it up at half time. As for the pro's... different ball game... with money riding on the game. I still think it should be the coaches challenging the Refs.. not players. There are spare coaches for just that reason ;)
Here here.
agreedd. i also think there needs to be a system that holds nba refs accountable. when their egos affect the game, they should take responsibility for unfair calls and bad sportsmanship/pettiness etc.
@@moniquewrites9046 you meant, probably, 'hear'
As a young youth basketball coach myself not that I’m constantly complaining or in the refs face but I needed to hear something like this. Thank you
Jj thanks for existing in my time and making this podcast
Lmao biggest 🧢 ever, you know Luka gonna let the refs know every time
last 2 games he is quiet
Yea lmfao he way too passionate bout the game to keep his emotions in check in the heat of the moment
I would agree if he wasn't close to getting that 1 game suspension after 16 or 15 techs. Luka right now has 14 techs. Last year he was in the same situation where he was close to the suspension mark and he stayed quiet for the rest of the season and I believe he will do it again this year, but if we are referring from here on til his career ends then nah Luka gonna get in them refs ears til he retires and even then as a fan or maybe coach he gonna get them T's.
@@benoz9303 he might cost the team a important game if he doesn't watch out in the playoffs
@@Treeko55 technical fouls reset at the start of the playoffs
Keep it up man these are gold 🔥
Luka "the dagger" doncic when jkidd called him out about his complaining and he stopped it he started playing like a god
Great interview. Great basketball content.
They should try to get jokic, would be a great interview
It’s definitely not “over.” But, I’m glad he’s conscious of it and making an effort to change.
Congratulations J.J., it's a great podcast !!!! My personall opinion of NBA refs is that unfortunatelly many of them are not good enough at all and in the other side all Balkan people are very sensitive with very short temper :). Greetings from Slovenia! :)
Greetings
Luka is the biggest sponge on the game. Hell look perturbed one minute then the next he using someone's move or situational approach. Interesting guy.
Exactlt
I love this man, but I've never seen someone go after the refs as much as he does.
Yeah he's worse than LeBron which is saying something
you're too young to have seen Rasheed Wallace then, lol
@@DensDaPens and Bill Laimbeer too!
It’s gotten better tho since 3 months.
@@Ben2bwild Worse than Draymond,although Draymond has curbed his outburst also.
Still hasn’t stopped🤣🤣
Thank you! Finally Luka is getting it. He was one of my favorite players to watch except all the whining. This is good news!
Can we just take the the time in thank jj Reddick for this platform , not only that he's very smart man I see what your doing ,
Luka is gonna be up there in the goat discussion you can’t tell by his receding hairline
So he does have a receding hairline?
@@LukeGreen12 ur slow
Tommy alters voice just permanently sounds like it’s coming through a zoom call 😂
He should just be honest, if he had the same calls as the other stars he wouldn't have to go at the refs .
Last game he constantly attacked the basket and only got 4 FT .
Look at Embiid and Harden in Philly .
Yeah a reputation can go pretty far in the nba.
For the refs he has a reputation as someone who is annoying and complains. And if refs have that opinion of you it’s Hard to Shake.
They will call less Fouls for you and you will get more annoying and the refs see their opinion confirmed even though they created it.
He consistently has gotten some of the most calls in the league lmao fans of stars love crying about calls
Only people shooting 11 free throws a game are embiid and Giannis and they live in the paint. If 11 free throws a game for a star is average basketball would be hard to watch
@@lenoio512 Harden flops and complains all the time too yet the refs are perfectly content at letting him march to the FT line.
@@DeanGl
I was about to say this, too
JJ already goated in the Hoops Pod space
Luka realised talking trash to refs won't help him finally go past the first round of the play offs
Like Jordan, he uses the ring his anger and fire that gives laser focus to shot to ball accurately.
Always got a kick out of Luka losing it on refs, but definitely smart to chill with that, it'll help him with calls in the long run.
Hats off to Don Luka for growing up and realizing the refs gonna ref and to just play ball
We'll see if this holds up in the playoffs
Luka Docic is probably my favorite player
Luka is real as "real" gets, he just is European guy
That’s actually a really mature thing to do
LUKA MAGIC 💫
The nba is in great hands the next 10 years with Luka Ja Trea Mitchell booker tatum jokic embiid and so many more talented young cats
Curry be gone by then and so will i. Sorry Luka but you're no Larry Bird and if I'm watching a white guy regular you have high standards to follow on from.
You know he's gonna do it again in the playoff. Maybe he'll held back on lesser instances, but that's just who he is.
He had a talk with himself...and with new head coach Jason Kidd.
It'll be cool if Luka can actually learn to complain less. Most players come into the league complaining less and as they become bigger stars they get a more entitled attitude towards the refs.
J. KIDD is a good fit for Luka
At this point he just love getting a tech 😂
As a Celts fan I hope Tatum watches and takes notes.
Just make it JJ's show its a 1on1 conversation
Luka..im nobody..certainly no authority on basketball talent, but it is more than obvious your in the top tier of talent. That being said i believe you have a next level inside you. I want to see that happen for you. God bless you sir
Well, that was three and one.!!!
Learning how to focus that rage into something more productive is going to make him even more of a killer. Oh boy.
I think this is why Jordan loves him so much. Almost the same winning mentality.
He will neverrrr stop yelling at refs!!! Never!!!!! You know!!!!
Good for u luka , see it , own it, correct it
I love him, but I really have to see it on the long term, before trusting it
Haha we have definitely heard that one before, expect to see him going at a ref in his next game
I miss Luka’s instagram stories with “Miki Milane”
3:48 JJ not buying it
waiting for the next game xD
I love Luka!
Luka, you are not done yelling at refs 😂😂😂. Still love him tho hopefully he embarrasses Gobert in the playoffs this year so people stop the gobert propaganda for once
Propganda? Have you seen what the Jazz look like without him? They are among the worst defenses without him and borderline top 5 with him. He is, without question, a top 5 defender in basketball
@@micahpg3407 gets completely exposed in the playoffs tho. Lasts playoffs jazz could’ve been the same without him. He contributed basically nothing on both ends. He’s a liability, that’s why the jazz can’t get anywhere, no matter how highly seeded they are
@@papayasmith because the jazz dont have any perimeter defenders on that team. You cant play 1 vs 5 in defense bruh.
@@papayasmith tell me you only watch ESPN without telling me you only watch ESPN.
The same casual take ever . Rudy spent this entire series covering his other 4teammates mistakes, so obviously he'll be late to cover or contest at some point .
Watch defensive breakdowns videos about Gobert and you'll realize how wrong you are
bro rudy gobert is most overrated nigga ever.
We shall see about the ref stuff. I think it's hilarious when he yells at them, but sometimes it hurts him. he will stand around arguing while he should be running back to play defense sometimes & that Is not okay at all! If he complains while playing, then I say Pappa bless, but he can't let it distract him.
JJ is the uncle you dont know he is playing basketball but he is actually good at it. Lol
Luka had a talk with himself to stop yelling at refs because it was a bad look. What a great example!!
I think players should ideally avoid interacting with referees at all costs. Don’t chat them, don’t toss them the ball, don’t ever yell at them, etc. Give them zero reason to ever miss calls on you.
Talking to them, pointing out something that you think they are missing, rather than yelling, gesticulating and showing them up and even worse rushing toward them in a intimidating/threatening way will get a better response. The latter way will only get you grief.
can you bring Giannis??
Those nba fines is what is making him stop
Face the challenge but of respect
He legit did that against boston couple days
He answers the question at 3:40 when there is only about 10 sec left of the video. Clickbait essentially, wasting viewer's time in exchange for better channel analytics.
Bro he has not stopped yelling at the refs lmao!!
If you watch a mavs game, he throws his hands up soooooo much, TOO much tbh
JJ joining Dallas in playoffs 👀👀
Soft European? the nba is soft af
alright hard man
@@Chigz10 Aye yoo pause
NBA is pretty soft when you compare it to Euro or national basketball. Funny because when you see NBA players play for their national team you rarely see flopping or complaining. Then they come back to the NBA and start crying at every whistle again. I don't understand that.
@@dom4591 the culture is different, the FIBA refs don't mood police games as much. They even stop the game at times to make sure everything is alright, like sweat pools on the floor, having a player just finishing a drive where got dangerous at landing etc
BUT, they can also afford that, the game lasts 8 minutes less and even more that Luka said timeouts last 1 minute instead of 3
IF the refs in the NBA also cared and put the time into things like make sure the court is ready or players are alright and prop up that "fair play, let the better team win" kind of stuff, games would last 3 hours tbh
Dam Luka sees the hate tweets no wonder he took his weight seriously now and is currently taking over the NBA.
What's crazy to me are some of the fans perspective on this. I was born and raised in Dallas, and if you follow our community, sports fans are always talking about how they want our players and coaches to have that fire. The Jimmy Johnson, in your face type of spirit, and honestly I believe that's all Luka was doing before. I could rattle off a dozen names of players who frequently get into with Refs, and if we're being honest, basketball is an emotional sport. If someone just clobbered you, or a call was made against you that wasn't made against the other team, I can understand getting into it. It's simply emotions in the moment and I don't think any of these NBA players are the type to actually have beef with a ref. I feel like there's a double standard there from the fans who talk about Luka. You can't say you want fire and then complain when they display it.
You're right in general. But the problem is he argues and complains about every call he doesn't get during the whole game. That's not fire - that is a childish sense of entitlement (if not a bit of narcissism) and is quite disrespectful towards the refs. It's very annoying to watch. Must be even worse for the refs. I just watched a live game with him 6 months after this video was posted. It seems he's gone back to his old ways. Shame really. He is an amazing player but quite immature still.
@@notperfect101 Name an NBA player who doesn’t complain to the refs all the time. LeBron is constantly doing that. Also, they have good reasons bc the NBA refs are trash and horribly inconsistent on calls.
The fact that even espn and all the old players that are now anchor literally say to the public that certain players get calls by the refs because of who they are, you should all know that the NBA and most professional sports are as real as the WWE. Hoping JJ will expose it soon.
Unfortunately it has developed in to a bad habit. It's going to be hard for Luka to overcome it but it's possible. I can see him toning it down considerably but it will never go away in my opinion.
I mean lebron still complaining to the ref until today lol
this guy's competitive intensity brings someone to mind: MJ
“Soft Europeans”
Giannis 👀
Luka 👀
Jokic Brothers 👀
Calling Europeans soft is like calling Americans in shape.
War is constant in Europe.
Jj needs embiid or simmons here preferably simmons since embiid already told his side on draymond podcast. And i think jj would set a lot of things straight he was a former sixer and play with both of those guys. So if anyone should know more or less if someone is capping would be him.
Did he just say Luka has Dry sense of humor? In his face?
Wish luka played for my bulls
It's more that his agent had a talk with him. Hurts your marketability when you're whining after every call. I don't think it will last long.
What does 'sort of' really mean? I hear it from JJ a lot. It's sort of his go to qualifier.
No way he stops
Hopefully he stands by this 😂
Bro said this last year too and he's leading the league in techs. He's gonna calm down cos if he gets one more he'll be suspended a game and mavs are tryna get the 3 spot if they can
Nah the refs need to hear it.
dont let these softies make you weak luka
Bron should take note on the crying to the refs
Luka has done it more this season
I wish JJ will interview lebron after or before he retires.
Nigga said “ real talk “ you know he been in Dallas too long lol.
damn davis reid looks like he needs a nap
2+ years later he might finally be making progress 😭
His English has gotten better
Yall gotta remember that in the stadiums he played at in Europe where the stands are bouncing with the fans, refs can hardly hear the players cuss them out but in the NBA where you can hear a rat's squeak they hear everything that's being said about their momma and their whole fam tree lol
Do you know the boy who cried foul (wolf)? Refs would no longer call fouls even if Luka is still bleeding. That is the case now. Every time he drives to the basket less fouls are being called.
MVP JOKIC NEXT JJ!
If beating. I didn't start but I will finish
0:15 He was infected by the league's antics, pretty common to be changed by your environment.
Luka cries about calls.... lmaooooo this isn't Europe
Self Accountability = Mamba x 1/3
YEAH RIGHT BUDDY 😆😆😆😆
Before he used to playbto real Madrid.
No reason to complain to refs as they were always favor him.
(Great player going for the goat ofcourse)
