You're kind of making my point for me, as all of Luka's trophies when won, he never complained to this extent where he left his team playing 4 on 5.
I watched Slovenia last year and Luka was engaged every single possession. He didn't bark at the refs (mainly because that just doesn't work in Europe).
This is solely a regular season problem as of now, and it's costing his team wins. I have no doubt that Luka is a generational talent knocking on the door to win a ring, and that the FO is the main obstacle right now. But Luka's most recent style of basketball will only prevent him from winning and it's a bad habit.
