I have no problem with his prejudices against European players and his poor assessments. Ok, it's happening. I have a problem with him outright LYING that there's any cap on the number of American players in Europe. Btw, this guy played in some lower tier European leagues and was never even close to play the Euroleague, which Luka won at the age of 19, being the MVP in the process.
“Not a Lottery pick” this is what Luka has done since he said that: 3rd overall pick(traded to the Mavs) Rookie of the year All star starter in his second year Averaged 29/9/9 in the regular season Averaged 30/9/10 in the playoffs Dropped a 40 point triple double in the playoffs Youngest player to make All NBA first team Finished 4th in MVP voting
Everyone can be wrong, but boy was Phillips out of his minds. He should NOT analyze basketball. European players are “overrated”, doesn’t have athletic skills? Welcome to nba 90-00’s thinking, where it was about physical force, not about playing overall complete and great basketball, the dude is lost in translation.
Since they got it so badly wrong they are trying to push Trae as the rookie of the year like he's at the same level of talent knowledge or efficiency as Luka and I think young is really good but it's unfair to compare them or even have a debate for both players
orX a They all somehow forget that in Europe, they still play defense unless nba which is basketball without defense so they can score 150 pts in 48minutes, arrogance of those tv people is astonishing
@@daviddeleon443 His dad was also very talented, but he didn't work as hard, he wasn't as dedicated as Luka and when he should have fully established himself as a player, the war in the former Yugoslavia started. In the summer of 1991, his father ordered him to come to Serbia as soon as possible. Saša (Luka's dad), although born in Slovenia, was without Slovenian papers. He obeyed his father and came to Belgrade. He signed for Crvena zvezda but wasn't immediately registered, administrative problems prevented him. When he got the papers to play, in the second half of the season, the team was already formed and the competition in his position (sg/sf) was fierce. He decided to return to Slovenia against his parents' wishes. He somehow entered Slovenia with an old Yugoslav passport, but he could no longer leave with it... For two years he was like Tom Hanks in that movie, lost at the airport. He had no Slovenian papers, Yugoslav ones were not valid. For several years he played for Slovenian clubs as a foreigner. Despite this, he later managed to achieve a solid career, played in the Euroleague and made his debut for the Slovenian national team.
no athleticism , yet is one of the more physical young players and is good finishing through contact, he isnt faster than guards but he can bully them easily with his size and strenght. his looks are deceiving
this so called experts tend to think that athleticism is buffed muscles, jumping and running. Ur IQ plays a big part in the way u can successfully use ur body, we could be here writing 3 books about athleticism, cause it goes so much deeper than that
Wait so Chris Broussard said hes a "Larry Bird" but if he was black, he would be more of a Magic or Lebron. Those 3 players play nothing alike? Just racism honestly
for real, how bad of a professional u have to be in order to fail so miserably? slower than rush hour traffic? now cmon u just hatin bruh, ur a professional journalist, a so called "expert"........
I’ll give RP credit for admitting he was wrong and facing Luka like a man apologize. Most these talking heads would just act like they never said it lol
Now he lost his job as an analyst lmao
fcking hope so.

“We tend to over sensationalized european basketball” 🤣🤣
These supposed “analysts” know nothing about basketball other than college or NBA
They don’t know much about it either
Me as European. All I can say is Rashad Phillips has not seen a single Real Madrid game LOL
ofcourse not!! he doesn't know luka, he never saw him play. He just talkin shit with no reason just for hating!
Chris was right there he heard the right things the other dude was a clown

My man said Hedo Turkoglu lmao
😂😂
Man, all this time later and this take just doesn't go away...only gets worse.
Not a lottery pick?! 😭😭... Mah boy was 4th in the MVP voting this year.
He probably didn’t even watch Luka in Europe!!
Well, this comment aged remarkably well.
Not a lottery pick?! Seriously 🤣🤣

It’s funny how they talk shit about Europeans when luka says it’s easier to score in nba
Just came to see this after the clippers buzzer beater😂
Same lol😭😭
How bout now 😂

He wasn’t wrong about him being slow, but Doncic makes up for the lack of speed by having the best body control of just about anybody in the NBA.
Also he is strong enough. How they think a 6'8 guy has to be fast is stupid.
Who the hell is the guy on the left
This dude describing another GOAT 🐐-TB12
I don’t think Luka actually cares about all the talking
He didnt even know the camera was taking a photo
Luka doesn't care. He was made and bred to be a basketball. He's been through it all at 19 - 20 yrs old. His dad was a pro

Rashad "number one, no pickles, no cheese, anything else sir?" Philips.
looooooool. great vision sir. maybe u can be a good bartender
LMAO luka in that last picture was like who let this fan into the locker room
Lmao he looked pretty pissed
This guy should never be on a draft show again. But he probably will be because knowone is held responsible for they're ridiculous comments.
Rashad who?
The disrespect on european players is insane
This nigga had Chris in shock

Just talked to Rashad on my show and he gave Luka all the praise he deserves.
Who gives a shit. He doesn't know anything.
Luka is actually great at his job, you are not!
Phillips couldn’t even make it to the nba 😂😂
I’ll give RP credit for admitting he was wrong and facing Luka like a man apologize. Most these talking heads would just act like they never said it lol
The fk are you talking about? He is still hating on Luka to this very day.
@@andreaspapapap7737 point it out then bc I haven’t seen him say anything else about him
@@jonnykilroy9762 i remember watching him saying that even if he was wrong about luka Trae young is better
Actually their excuse now days is because he's been a pro since 13🤣
@@Dro_gon and It wasn't even true, he played in the young team. He started playing real pro's at 16
wait for a unique asian guy that’ll be like luka. he’ll take more dumb critics than this for sure
Jeremy Lin lol
I can't wait for this
Rashad Phillips.. Go hide yourself. "Analyst".. Who maybe watched 1 TH-cam highlights video. smh
If they have watched on single réal Madrid game .... poor analyse for players coming outside the US...
We tend to over sensationalized american analysts
This has not aged well at all lol
Dude is like every millennial on TikTok…
Rashard Lewis now is a Casher
That first guy should have lost all credibility after this
get that man off tv.
A typical black dude
Rashad Phillips
These analysts lost all credibility.
Rashad is the dumbest scout, he is the biggest fan of himself
Yikes.
Brusard is making rasist comparisons lmao
rashad never been a good analyst
At least he admitted he was wrong. The rules in today’s NBA benefit European players.
Well he posted that hoping he'd get hes job back.
Rules in NBA benefit Europian players? 😂 😂😂😂😂
The nba benefits Euro players because America! Fuk yeah!
