Jalen Brown to the Wizards.
One of my favorite topics.
been kind of a jagged ride so far in LA right so this is not necessarily about Luca as a Laker the totality of his career so far with the Mavericks right one finals appearance not so much so not so great of a finals performance and then we're in this really interesting moment here where the Lakers have a lot of major decisions this summer and all of them need to revolve around Luca right
And I keep thinking about what this is going to mean, what this next phase of his career is going to mean.
And I keep coming back to, aside from all the things that the Lakers need to do for him and around him, that the greatest threat to Luka's overall legacy when we start getting to, he's like mid-career now, right?
It's seven, eight years in.
The greatest threat to Luka is Luka.
It's a great take.
Every year there's some little like, you know, Luca's really trying to rein himself in.
Coaches start praising him for doing a good job of not chewing out the refs all the time.
Dude is still fucking complaining about every single call on every single possession.
I don't know.
But there you go.
still chewing out the refs all the time for every call and every non-call and everything else, still too consumed with that.
He's the biggest whiner in the league by far, the biggest whiner among stars by far, and maybe the biggest whiner among stars that I've seen in 30 years of covering this league, right?
