He looked slow and couldn't get by anyone (a persistently growing problem for him) and so he took a lot of bad shots, and not nearly enough of them went in. At no point did he ever look like he was moving right. Took a ton of bad shots as a result.
I remember being pissed because the more casual national fans weren't seeing "the good Luka" and it was going to affect their opinions of him.
And yet he led the entire nba in pretty much every statistical playoff category while dragging a 5th place team to the finals. What did the rest of the team shoot against the Celtics? Luka is 2nd all time, out of every player who’s ever played over decades of basketball, in playoff scoring, and he can still lead all current players in rebounding, assists, minutes, and even steals. We’ll never see his like again.
