Although he may be considered one of the best players in the league, Luka Doncic is not unanimous when it comes to his behavior or his basketball.

A former Laker was not gentle when it came to qualifying the Slovenian.

With Kyrie Irving and now Klay Thompson at his side, Luka Doncic dreams more than ever of winning the NBA title.

He is not necessarily very far since the Texans reached the final this year, but the competition remains very strong within the Western Conference.

The Slovenian will therefore have to raise his game a little more, but some have serious doubts about him.

Luka Doncic strongly criticized by a former

Although Doncic is seen as a real MVP in this league, and why not in 2025, his game does not convince everyone either.

For some, he monopolizes the ball too often and he is too slow once on the court, especially when it comes to defense.

This is the controversial opinion expressed by Michael Cooper, a former player who spent his career with the Lakers.

Michael Cooper on Luka Doncic: “He’s too slow for me. If he wasn’t a scorer, I’d kick him out.

I give him credit for that, but to me, he’s lazy. He doesn’t work his ass off.”

Doncic isn’t the NBA’s biggest defender, that’s for sure, but the criticism is harsh on the player.

Slow or not on the court, the Slovenian dominates his opponents with his own pace, to the delight of the Mavericks and fans alike.

I really don’t care if I’m slow if I’m putting up 33 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.

It doesn’t matter if he’s slow as long as he’s averaging 30 points and leading his team to the Finals

Is Luka Doncic slow on the court? Yes, but it’s not really a problem when you see what he does with the ball.

The fact is that the Slovenian dominates his opponents and just reached the NBA Finals.

That deserves some respect.
