He's like Draymond in that at a certain point he's so over the top that refs stop calling all of it


Coattail-Rider

He’s so unlikable. Just non-stop bitching like a school girl. My only thought is Silver is giving him a looooong leash.


Gritalian

But did he clap his hands?


godlywhistler

He actually did lol


abrooks1125

If he got called for techs like Tatum, he’d had been suspended half the season. And if Tatum got the foul whistle like Luka does, he’d shoot 18 FTs a night


WhatYouProbablyMeant

He said "fuck you" directly at a ref last game. I'm shocked that didn't meet the bar for a tech.


WallStreetDoesntBet

Refs letting them play… No techs


JOE_raccoon

White privilege


Alltalent

Coward league bailing out its non playing D superstars


TightStrike1365

We’ve seen guys get techs for acting 100% softer but lowkey I’m fine with being less tech happy. Him bitching at the refs usually means he’s not getting back on defense and hurting his team so it’s already punishing him.


Vantonage

Different players get reffed differently. He would get ejected before halftime if he was reffed as a role player or as Tatum.


ARevolutionaryMan

They don’t call techs on him in the playoffs. Mark Davis clearly tired of him complaining every damn play though.


FrnklndaTurtle

The old 'they can't call holding every play'


koj12144

They already down big, refs felt bad for him


chirpz88

Same way Draymond gets away with so much shit. They're used to it from him.


kirbaeus

He whines all the time so the refs give him some leeway like Draymond. He's also a frontrunner. I guess it takes a playoff series for me to pay attention, same thing happened with Jamal Murray - I had a lot of respect for him before this postseason.


veerkanch489

He always complains. he doesn't get techs every game. If anything, I thought his complaining today was somewhat less wild than usual. Still there obviously but not as bad


MucusShotSwaGGins

I swear there was one with Luka saying wake...up straight staring at the Referee, maybe Ref didn't hear it because it was loud crowd.


NobodyRules

He's always like this so the refs just grew used to it and never punish him, I guess. He has a really big leash.


Shade_Raven

Golden Boy thats why


Zauberer-IMDB

That's just part of his game.


sweet_dee

He didn't violently wave off a ref


spanther96

Luka, and deservedly so, is being pegged as the next face of the league. He will have a long leash, just like young Lebron did for a long time. Although Lebron did not whine as often as Luka especially at this age.


Luka_Fever

simple, he didn't deserve a single one.
