Like everyone keeps mentioning though, that's something he has to choose on his own. Great players learn from these moments and I expect he will as well. MJ took a weakness and made it a strength every off season. That's the mentality Luka has to have with his defense and arguing with the refs.
Just looking at the defensive end this was the best version of Luka we have ever seen. He was legit good in most games. Problem is that in each series he took 1-2 games off. And to make things worse the list of off games includes two finals games.
Luka has proven that when he is locked in he can be a really good help defender and hold his own on switches against any given star player in the league. Teams targeted him and for the most part he stepped up to the challenge. But the off games are killing the Mavs.
