By /sy Go To PostI mean, Luka does play like Harden, I've heard both the Mavs and Rockets casters call him a "right handed Harden".Yeah they both take lots of step-back 3s and close shots. Pretty much no one takes mid-range shots any more unless they're elite at it or just dumb. They have similar body types and some of the same skills, but that doesn't mean they play the exact same way. Harden iso's on 40% of his possessions, Luka only iso's 15% of the time. Luka is much more pass-first than Harden. And I haven't seen any of the arm-hooking bullshit from Luka.
Lots of stepback threes, barely any midrange, lots of floaters, lots of swinging his arms into other players to draw fouls etc etc, he's not as flagrant as Harden with the foul baiting but it's there for sure lol.
Luka
Harden
Anyway I look forward to Luka clearly being the better player in 2 years so the only people who still call him "Euro Harden" are people who don't even watch him play.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean people don't watch him play or think he isn't balling right now and most likely will continue balling... again being insulted by Harden is crazy to me

And I haven't seen any of the arm-hooking bullshit from Luka.I don't think calling him Euro Harden is the same as him playing *exactly* like Harden but their games are very similar. It's a pretty popular opinion I'd say:

Also, Doncic should should definitely be better than a 32 year old Harden in two years. I don't get the apprehension to the Harden comp, Harden did win mvp and have the highest ppg season since Jordan. I predict Luka will be similarly annoying to watch.

But seriously guys like Luka, LeBron, Harden and just about any dominate scorer post Kobe having been flopping for FTs it's almost a critical skill in today's NBA. It just happens to been that Harden and Luka are among the best at baiting... I could if you don't see that you are a casual but I know love is blind

They're much more similar in terms of body type, athleticism, and driving skills than FTA.
By diehard Go To PostSabonis just fouled out for playing defensemakeup call for the bs call on embiid.
