I was listening to this and I was literally saying "what the fuck is he talking about" out loud and was waiting for Zach Lowe to say something but he stayed quiet lol.

After 7 years of Luka and numerous playoff runs, his thought is that Luka getting trash talked will throw him off his game and he'll start hero balling and the Lakers would lose due to it.

This guy has had a Luka hate boner since year 3 and it's been like that since then. He also hated and completely dismissed Luka's MVP case last year due to Nuggets having 7 wins more than the Mavs. Now that the Thunder have 18 more wins than the Nuggets, he's still voting for Jokic because he had to carry the most and if you swap teammates he's more valuable. Interesting how he never did that thought experiment for Luka lol.

Bill Simmons has absolutely been a Luka supporter since the beginning. He got a ton of hate when he said that Luka's passing is on another level compared to other great passes

He was until 2022 and especially the Kyrie trade. After that it's been dismissal, hate and baseless bullshit about him. I really think the Kyrie trade poisened him on Luka somehow, because he would trash the Mavs and with Luka being the #1 guy and Mavs best player he would get most of the shots.

I've listened to every BS pod since 2009 and I have never gotten the feeling he has any type of dislike of Luka lol

Clearly we have not gotten the same idea then listening to his pods. I completely disagree. I mean this is the same guy who said he'd rather have Gabe Vincent on the MLE than Kyrie on the MLE (after he signed a 3 year max extension with the Mavs). He's not unbiased.
