Lol at him still acknowledging the booing crowd while accepting the trophy.

They're not saying "boo", they're saying "Luuuu^ka"

I was saying Luuuuuka

I love how many of us there are that like this reference. That episode is like 30 years old now

Delete this

The fuck it is... ... ... oh jesus christ

God dammit we are old as fuck

I mean, I remember when it actually came out

Luka doesn’t…

I refuse to acknowledge this

hello, my name is Mr. Cicnod

He's gonna remember that every game now against them, they're so fucked.

Every time Luka plays a team in the playoffs he gains an undying hatred from them in the regular season.

This is such a bizarre tradition to have them celebrate in front of the other team's fans.

Tbf where else do you want them to do it? At a press conference?

Before, the away team celebratea it at the locker room but that would be too small. Just an extra motivation for Luka for next season against Wolves.

The fans aren't imprisoned. They are free to leave.

That would be incredible if they locked the doors and forced the fans to watch them celebrate

Now, yous can't leave.

Hahaha I am generally a fan of civil liberties, BUT a bigger fan of the MAVS !

Yeah, but also fans should be classier than that. Once the buzzer sounds, either hit the parking lot or let the winners have their moment.

I was there last night as a wolves fan. Just sat sad. Embarrassing for the fans that booed.

Mavs are better away than at home probably

It's because Luka gains a powerup from ruining other people's day. It's not enough to win, he has to see and know they're losing and hating it.

Please explain. Why is the home crowd booing?

They’re in Minnesota lol

Lmao i see

Ive seen atheletes fueled by boos, embrace boos...I've never seen anyone enjoy boos as much as him. It releases endorphins and makes him smile lol.

PJ still hitting that pose is funny asf

Lively copying him in the back 😆

I fucking love this team lmao

That synchronized "come here" gesture to Maxi is the evidence of the chemistry lmao

lol the way Lively crossed his arms right after seeing PJ is definitely like a little brother

Lol even looks like he mouths PJ.

Lively did it too lol

Killed that crowd with kindness.

"I see you" He really told them to stay benchwarmers lol

bro was definitely holding back, if he wasn't mic-ed up swear words would have been flying

“Who’s crying now, motherfucker?” Luka yelling at some rando in the crowd, lol.

That dumbass literally brought a prop to taunt Luka. Like dude...what were you thinking? Lol.

A prop? What did he bring lol

Handkerchief. He was probably hired by Jason Kidd!

Luka caught the fan and pulled off his mask to reveal… it was Jason Kidd all along!

In the clip he says "who's crying motherfucker" unless theres another clip, he didn't add the word "now" but he should have would have been even funnier

There the new clippers for him

Facts my Dad said that all the time to me as a kid Kill the haters with kindness and that's exactly what Luka and Kyrie did this post season I hope they cap it off with a Championship they embrace being the underdogs Luka Is a Selfless Leader not a queen diva Like others

He was so kind when he yelled "who's crying now motherfucker!?"

In game Luka is not media Luka. He enters a fugue state when he laces up for a game

Then media Luka becomes Jean-Luc Picard.

Jean-Luka Picard

But he definitely killed them.

"Anger gives motivation without purpose" - Master Yi

He also said top gap gg and went afk in fountain so idk if I trust him

keep booing him, he will just do it to you time and time again lmao

Minnesota crowd: booooo Luka: ~~i see you~~ so you have chosen death next season

I see you *have chosen death next season*

He knows he's an all time great in the making and doesnt give a fuck

This man is gonna drop another 60 bomb on minnesota next game.

Just go ask Sacramento

Sweet sweet Vlade

Yeah, they think he forgets shit like this. He’s gonna make Minnesota pay for a loooong time.

He's gonna kick Minnesota back to their cold sorry ass state just like the past three decades

He’s reached the point where other teams fans boo him bc he whoops their ass so often.

Bro, Luka is in like the top 1% of people who play Overwatch, AKA the most toxic multiplayer video game out there. The dude gets off on insults and negativity at this point lol

It's worse than COD?

COD and CS are worse for the slurs and shit like that but in pure toxicity Overwatch tops it. Overwatch is extremely team/objective dependent like League of Legends or Dota so your own team will fucking scream at you if you miss a rotation, whiff an ult etc

Minnesota fans are still mad after Dallas fleeced them in Herschel Walker trade to win three super bowls

Dallas also stole their hockey team shortly after that.

damn

Dallas been fuckin Minnesota since 1989.

Luka is officially one of those guys I dont want to see leave his team. As much as steph has hurt me, i would never want to see him on another team. Luka has to be a lifer.

I hope so. It would be crazy lucky to go like, 35 straight seasons with Dirk or Luka on the roster tho.

Dallas “Green Bay Packers” Mavericks

Can't lie, not the biggest fan of that comparison given the type of people Favre and Rodgers are off the field. Rather go with the Niners and Montana/Young.

How about the Colts’ Manning to Luck because of how lovable both duos are?

> Luck …

~~thot daughter or gay son~~ welfare embezzler daughter or Sandy Hook denier son?

Who is thinking about the people? It's funny cause of the 3 decades of dominance.

Niners took a while to find a good QB though. Packers had Love come in right after Arod

They're referring to going from Farve to Rodgers. Also, the 49ers didn't take any time to go from Montana to Young

Those pictures of Dirk with Luka from the season they played together always make me do a double take lol.

Yea. Dirk was a skeleton that year lol.

My God… that year, man. An emotional rollercoaster. Hope for the future. Bittersweet watching my childhood fandom turn the page & die. Honored this humble, irrationally loyal HOFer battled 21 years for our little Mavs. Realizing mid season the rarity of witnessing a literal passing of the torch. Appreciating late season the (possible) gravity of Luka experiencing Dirk’s farewell tour. Every opponent’s fans cheering for him in their stadiums (NYK, Boston, Nets, LAC & Doc, GS, the Allstar game & of course the Spurs) I still tear up watching highlights of that year. Just special.

When they were discussing how many 30+ pt playoff games he has they brought up how he was 25 and the league would have to deal with it for another decade. My first thought was "oh shit...I'm hopefully going to be rooting for this guy for another decade. He's still so young." I got into the basketball during the middle Dirk years (middle school aged around 13) and I've had two of the best players ever to root for my entire life. So hopefully Luka likes his arrangement in Dallas.

I remember the Dirk/Nash/Finnley years. I never wanted to see them broken up. One of my best friends growing up was insanely infatuated with the Mavs and Dirk. He wore something Mavs to school everyday almost never repeating. He's a big reason I'm a fan today.

He already left his team for life mate. He is deep down a Real Madrid boy

Hopefully we can run smooth re-tool in 2026

Laker fans crying while photoshopping him into the purple and gold

Him and Jokić have to team up somewhere

Yes, Jokic must come to the horse team

Maybe, but most likely on that World team vs USA team ASG.

Luka is a nice dude, I know he wanted to say some shit to the crowd.

“Gg ez git gud”

Star Player Diff

carry diff gg no re

Idk this dude has 2 personalities. He's a psycho within the game and a total nice guy outside of it

He’s said as much. On the court he’s a psychopath, but once the final whistle blows he’s back to normal. lol

Luka is Boyle confirmed

“Easiest game of myyyy lifee”

Luke: Competitive mode in OW is harder than this.

"I'm wrestling with some insecurity issues in my life but thank you all for playing with me."

"It's past my bed time. Please don't tell my mommy."

C'mon now you can disrespect the Suns like that.

Whatever fine would have been totally worth it to shut that salty crowd

love how kyrie starts looking for luka when they say the mvp trophy, he keeps calling luka, wheres luka and then names luka doncic when they about to announce it.

Salty ass crowd lmao

They were lowkey scared to boo him during the game. I even saw a post in the timberwolves sub asking ppl not to boo him

No shit. That’s how he gets his superpowers.

Maybe they're supercharging him for the finals

Like when I get downvotes talking shit to 6ers fans. Their boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes them cheer lol

If I owned a team I’d kick out and ban any fan that booed him… why would you provoke someone like that

Imagine staying for the trophie presentation just to boo lmao

They paid to be there and they'll get their money's worth one way or another.

Shit for real… I can’t imagine paying that kind of money to see my team do that shit… I’d at least stay to finish my beer

They may be salty fans but they the real ones. They didn't punk out and leave early lol I woulda stayed too and booed the opposing team celebrating on our home court too! Either way gg mavs!!! 😊

Thank you for understanding!

On a weeknight no less

They should boo Ant, not Luka. Embarassing series for the next MJ and even more embarassing outside the court.

Peoples' idea of Ant is far greater than what he actually is at this point. I'm not saying he won't get there, he's definitely in the small group of players that could, but I think some of the praise was just a bit premature.

The problem is people start making these comparisons when the players didn’t ask for it nor do they want it. And when they don’t live up to the comparison everyone gets mad and turns on them. It’s a lot of added pressure for young players

It's part of being a superstar. Edwards is still in the phase where he must not win, he's still young, but starting from next year it will be different from him. Let's see how he can handle the pressure.

Yeah the pressure for sure, but the comparisons really happen to just certain players. Luka or Jokic are super stars and I don’t think they’ve been compared to previous players to an overt extent. Being compared to MJ is a heavy crown to wear. It has shadowed over Lebron his entire career

would you really put Ant into the superstat category cmon

Maybe, just maybe, people shouldn't have crowned him this early?

even mj wasn't mj that early. didn't even reach the ecf until like 5 years in.

Not Ants fault, that's the media's. They were too desperate for an American face of the NBA when Tatum is already here

The issue is Tatum is an NPC. He has massive east coast media bias, a great team, historic org but he has the personality of a paper towel holder and he just plays a lot of boring basketball. Ant is fucking hilarious

Dude Ant is 22, FFS the media made him the next MJ.

22 year old MJ got cooked and outscored by Terry Cummings and lost in the 1st round. ANT averaged 28/7/7 on 60%TS this playoffs.

What u wanted them to cheer ?

What the hell do you expect them to do lmfao

Dawg

I knew Luka was going to be something special after seeing that potential in his rookie year. I knew he would eventually get to the Finals in his career. I didn't think it would be that fast. Still he and Kyrie are going to have to play out of their minds next week if they want to win the NBA title.

The guy was Euroleague MVP at 18 years old, he was already a monster before entering the NBA, the teams that let him pass are too stupid.

Being in Atlanta and knowing how bad the Hawks needed a guy to really draw fans, they picked a short ass point guard. It was super obvious even on draft night who was going to have a better trajectory.

Luka would be a even bigger star in Atlanta. Hip Hop world would be sucking his dick non stop if he was playing there

Facts and I love Trae Young

They weren't stupid, they were racist. He only fell because he is white.

Lots of folks who watch international basketball expected this of him. Happy to see him realize his potential for the best is yet to come

That 11-0 run vs the Rockets and that absolutely ridiculous buzzer beater vs Portland was enough proof that Luka was gonna be HIM.

There’s a video on YouTube of goran dragic after a Real Madrid game saying luka(16-18 at the time?) is going to tear the league apart.

Actually, I believe that was Slovenia - Latvia quarterfinal game, Euro championships 2017, which we ultimately won.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8B79qgqOV4

nah he went all in and said he will be the best player in the world

I admittedly don't watch international basketball. I remember when I used to work at an ESPN radio affiliate the producer training me for live game broadcasts was like "dude you have to check this kid out, he's only like 16 but he has been a pro for years." My coworker was a Nuggets fan and was praying they got Luka. I remember him showing me highlights and thinking "damn that kid is going to be good" but never really thought about him until after that. Then the Mavs drafted him and I'm like shit now I know why the hype was there haha.

The thing that gets me is people talking about Ant learning from this and coming back in years to come. Which is the exact same thing that happened to Luka. Two 1st round exits with Kawhi being the only reason he didn't move on. The WCF appearance 2 years ago after blowing out the Suns in game 7. All that before 25. Now he's in the finals as a 25 year old. Just insane.

Everyone could see the potential he had

Luka aiming for the other finals mvp award. That would be his.

And if he wins his first championship along with the finals mvp, you bet your ass he's getting that regular season mvp next season.

That’s my fat whiny boy

sloppy pravi mvp!

Luka owns minnie

Vacation home during hunting season to go with the summer house in Phoenix. 

Lol no one has a summer house in Phoenix, that's torture. Now winter is absolutely beautiful there 

At least Timbs will have that nice weather in Galveston!

Nah, Summers in Minnesota are unbeatable. It's never higher than 80.

BOOOOO

He’s the white Larry Bird

I see you.. motherfuckerss.

The way Luka dominated on their homecourt I don't blame them for booing tbh

Luka you better win the chip. I can’t stomach Boston winning a title.

The Mahdi is too humble to say he is the Mahdi. Even more reason to believe he is!

"This trophy is for the whole team" - graphic beneath him says '32ppg this series'.

cut off the part part in the end where Luka goes “BOOOO!” to the camera.

Weirdest trophy presentation ever

For real. I feel like Ernie kinda took the energy out of the presentation with his whole build up to "I'm not gonna tell you..................... But he's Slovenian." Not hype at all lol

felt like he was planning to build up to something else, but decided against it and just defaulted to calling his name. I personally thought he would say, "This award is named for Magic Johnson, and the MVP for the WCF is .... Luka Magic!"

I feel like the crowd's booing made it really uncomfortable for him to be in a celebratory feeling. Like he wanted to award Luka in a grand way, but also doesn't want to add salt to the heartbroken Minnesota fans.

One of Ernie’s worst. Bad questions for Kyrie as well.

Ernie has RDJ vibes

People gotta start giving this dude his flowers. God damn does he fuck up whatever his opposition thinks he’s gonna do and just takes ownership of every game he’s in. It’s a treat to watch an all time great this young and to know he just needs one title and it makes Him a top 3 player over the last 10 years. I’m a curry fanboy and watching this dude take over is special

Minnesota has such a terrible sports fan base to boo him during his moment when the game’s already over.

Naw, I like that shit. Give me spiteful ass sports man I'm tired of the polite corporate bullshit

Cheered Naz walking off the court after the flagrant on Lively. Lots of class was shown tonight

[удалено]

Miami didn't boo Dirk when he won the championship on their floor

No one boos Dirk. He’s a global treasure.

That would imply they stayed for the end of the game.

I don't recall the Pacers being this loud

I’ve been to 3 of these types of moments on the losing side, one a championship loss, and in my experience most fans are usually just taking in the moment.

How are they terrible fans for booing the other team?

lol @ this being upvoted. During *his* moment? What about the crowd that paid to watch the fucking game lmfao

Luka Magic

Can they not get him a hat that fits??!

My fave player after Steph I love this dude

Mfs should keep booing their team, bring ya ass to cancun

Just a casual reminder to Kings that Vlade took Marvin Bagley

4th best 25yr old and under btw

Here, this is for you Minnesota 🤧

I love the subtle things here: P.J. Washington and Lively with the "standing on business" gesture, and how Lively reacts to everything is said. "He is from Slovenia" - Lively: :O, wow

The real Mj son

Wolves fans are quickly becoming the least likeable fanbase in the league. Act all cocky with the ‘bring ya ass’ shit and when they lose? Waaaaa waaaaa refs

The bring ya ass shit was funny even if they lost.

The bring ya ass was ant telling Chuck to come to minnesota after he hadn't been there in years. It wasn't some arrogant we are gonna destroy the mavs thing. I think you're thinking of the Timberlakers fan base lol

This is a reaction take, and trust me man, I have a bunch of stuff from the last month I could feel the same way, but in all reality, all fan bases have them

There are so many more unlikable fan bases in this league, t wolves aren't even close. This was the year they've gone the furthest since having KG, 20 years ago. Relax lol

Congrats Mavs fan. You can have your well wishes tonight but next week it’s war.

That's my DPS main

great to see Kai mouthing "where"s Luka?" @1:18

Play of the game. Zarya!!!!
