00:00it's funny because you we've you've always called him crybaby luca uh and how much he does he does
00:05a lot of talking with the refs he's always complaining he's always i think you could say
00:10since he's been with the lakers maybe it's because he's with lebron or something he's been a little
00:15toned down now he still talks but i don't think it's been as bad as when he was in dallas but
00:20this ref uh gave him the gate uh after he was talking to the fan there early in the fourth
00:26year's luca yeah i mean you can see it that happened uh but you know i never got a fan
00:32ejected never uh but if he's gonna talk i'm gonna talk back like always so that they had nothing to
00:38do with the ref so i didn't really understand what's what's the i guess the level of frustration
00:43is you're coming back in here your team was up one after you make the shot and you see okay okay
00:47see you go on the run and presumably you're watching in the locker room i mean it was tough i mean we
00:52were right there uh i think we fought the whole game you know we were down eight at halftime we
00:57came we came back in the third quarter we were fighting man so it was tough to see that uh with
01:03this kind of situation that happened and you know that's for me too so i can't let my team down like
01:08that listen a couple things one he i don't think a leopard changes his spot i think that he is still
01:16the same guy he still talks to refs from belly to belly every game he argues with refs uh and not
01:24only that he talks shack to players and he talks shack to fans like that's all there is to it this
01:31guy how many times have you seen him after he makes a big bucket just blow and shack to people
01:38this guy never stops with his act and that includes crying the the whiny bee that he is
01:46and the uh fans he goes at it with fans like i i don't understand that for the life of me why he's
01:53arguing with fans like they don't even exist you know i've heard a lot of players over the years say
01:59that you know they don't even see them they don't even hear them they're like in a tunnel vision
02:05they the noise the screaming the booing the yelling they claim a lot of guys claim they don't
02:11hear it at all that they're just in this vacuum meanwhile this guy argues with everybody fans
02:18players refs i don't think he's changed at all i think he looks better in la uh his body looks better
02:27than it did in dallas in dallas they you know i think they were right he was fat and it is what it is
02:33but i think he looks better and it could be you know obviously i think that there's a different
02:38standard in la playing for the lakers than there is playing for the dallas mavericks that's just all
02:44there is to it i won't deny their you know dirt title but they've done nothing else i mean you know
02:53i've heard all about how great they are and they really aren't uh they're just good they're not great
02:59the lakers are great the celtics are great those are great organizations that's just all there is
03:05to it you can say whatever you want and i'll tell you another thing they've never been the same after
03:11they uh basically pushed mark cuban out of the picture mark cuban basically sold the team and they
03:18pushed him out of the picture they were certainly more exciting and more palatable and and they mattered
03:24more when he was there
03:26more when he was there
