When Trash Talking Goes Horribly Wrong

When I watched “the last dance” there was a moment when Michael Jordan was playing with a baseball bat in the locker room saying something like “it’s easy to talk trash when you’re up in the scoreboard, real men talk trash when the scoreboard is 0-0”. Luka saying “everybody acting tough when they’re up” was as cold as MJ.

Never forget Devin Booker also couldn't handle a Mascot trying to distract him at the free throw line. Not in a million years would Kobe be phased by something like that

Had to see this again to reminisce the moment when luka adopted his suns.

nah getting beat so bad you have to write an apology letter is crazy 😭

"every body acting tough when they up" one of the coldest line

“the man (luka doncic) beat the suns so bad the franchise had to write an apology letter to their fans” 💀☠️

I will never tire of this beatdown. The quotes, the images, the result. It’s like a movie. The Luka special.

Ain’t no way the Suns wrote an apology letter to the fans💀

Luka said "everybody acting tough, when they're up" after a loss, then after that won the series. Savage

“That’s the sign of a good man, if you can talk shit when it’s even score or talk shit when you’re behind score. When you’re ahead it’s easy to talk.” - MJ

Anyone back here after Luka dropped 50 😂 Edit 1 1/2 month later Luka dropped 73 💀

Booker also complained when he missed a free throw after the Raptors mascot was waving his arms, but one time Larry Bird made a free throw when people in the crowd were holding up pictures of models in a bikini

Luka literally “took it personally” and Devin Booker couldn’t do anything about it. “The Luka Special” is now the NBA’s “I’m gonna shock the world”

Lukas “everybody acting tough when they’re up” reminds me of MJs (not word for word) “it’s easy to trash talk when you’re up, only a real man can talk trash when they’re down or losing” both similar starts to their career , insane individual stats but little to no help , he’ll win a ring soon he’s a generational talent.

Who is rewatching it again after Luks's historic 60/21/10 game? 🙂

There was one man I remember in the 90s that not only was not scared of trash talking Michael Jordan, but that actively seeked him out and provoked him in every game they played, even if MJ was going hard on him and beating him, this player would still do whatever he could to make sure Michael Jordan came hard after him. It was Drazen Petrovic. Before his death in a car crash, when he was playing for the Nets, Drazen would always look forward to playing against Michael Jordan, because he too had that mentality, he looked for that pressure, loved that pressure. He saw Michael Jordan as man that he had to step up to, and defeat. He did this because he was not scared of Michael Jordan. Toni Kukoc once told in an interview that before the Gold Medal game in Barcelona 1992, everyone in the Croatian team was like "Okay, well, this is it, we made it, Silver Medal is for us." but not Drazen. Drazen Petrovic entered that court against the original USA Dream Team thinking "We can win this. We can beat this guys." Drazen had that predatory mentality, and I always feel sorry that he died so young before we could all see what his peak was while playing in the NBA, what kind of player he would have become eventually.

Steph once had 0 points against the Rockets in the first half, and torched them for 33 in the next half. THAT is how u overcome a rat shit half, not by pouting and giving up...

"U gotta send another one..." Yes sir, that's the real Mamba talk right there. Yup, right there.

“Everybody acting tough when they up” will go down in history alongside Jordan’s “Took it personally” and Kobe’s “Job’s not done”.

I’m back here after Luka dropped 73 on the same night Booker drops 62. Luka can’t help but one-up Booker 😂
