This is what his haters do. They see him being as great as any player who has ever lived, so they create BS narratives.
Let me let you in on a known fact: The greatest to ever play this game routinely let the refs have it. I brought receipts:
- MJ himself, 1992, which got him fined $5,000: "We had three terrible referees… They all stunk. I'll probably get fined for that, but wait until they look at the film."
- George Karl, Sonics coach, 1996 Finals: "If he's not Michael Jordan, I think he would have been thrown out of the basketball game." Also: "Michael practically bites Oakes' face off after his technical."
- Mike Breen, the broadcaster, not a player: "He is in the official's face, and he is dropping one F-bomb after another, after another, after another." Also: "I had just watched Michael Jordan drop maybe 40 F-bombs in two sentences, and the official was intimidated."
- Shaq on Inside the NBA: "I've only seen 3 players get away with talking to the ref crazy. Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Michael Jordan. And Magic Johnson... Those guys could say whatever they wanted to the refs."
- Charles Barkley, to the refs on game audio: "That is a foul… I know he's Michael Jordan." Jordan answers, "Shut up," and Barkley says, "Every time he raises his voice at y'all… y'all give him calls."
If anything, Luka's unwillingness to accept bad calls makes him closer to MJ, not further from him. Jordan wasn't having that shit, and neither is The Don.
MJ didn't accept losing. This is a man who punched Steve Kerr in the face and told his own teammate he couldn't eat on the ride home after a bad performance in a game.
MJ was a fiery personality. That's why we loved him. He played with a never-ending fire.
Luka has that same fire, but he's criticized for it.
Don't confuse passion and the desire to win with anything other than that. Luka is no different from the greatest to ever play.
They had Jordan Rules, and now, in the current day, you see the Luka Rules.

“This is the most insufferable he’s ever been.”
@BillSimmons believes Luka is on an MVP run, but he’s not a fan of the way he plays.

Pure gaslighting and lies! Luka's talking to the refs less than he ever did. This is just another way to discredit his historic run. Simmons actually admitted in the clip he doesn't watch Luka, he's just pushing his agenda. Somebody that biased shouldn't have an MVP vote.

wtf y’all doing ? @NBA
Can’t wait for the goalposts to keep on moving for Luka and the MVP
“Luka didn’t start the season strong cause he wasn’t in shape” - Been historic now the last two years in the first month
“Luka just doesn’t have that efficiency that the other stars have night to night” - 67 TS% on the year
“Luka doesn’t have the on/offs that the other stars have when they play” - Currently has the HIGHEST on/off swing out of anybody in the league
Enough is enough. Give Luka what is owed to him.

Luka showing why he's BITW right now. 52 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 2 steals on 57/45/91 shooting. Clutch buckets and assists, controlling ever facet of the game! Truly masterful performance.

🎙️@tvippolis: “Where I think Yaxel Lendeborg made the classic rookie mistake: he thought he was getting into Luka's head. What he didn't realize was that's exactly where Luka wants you to be.”
🎙️@stugotz790: "Luka was opening the door for him!"

🏆 Best Veteran of the 2026 Season: Primož Roglič 🇸🇮
For me, there can only be one winner here: Primož Roglič!
At 36, Roglič may no longer be the rider he was at his peak, but his end to the 2026 season was genuinely impressive.
He finished second overall at the Vuelta a España, proving that he can still compete at the highest level. Even if Tadej Pogačar didn’t abandon the race, Roglič would have finished third, ahead of established names such as Felix Gall, Richard Carapaz, Sepp Kuss and Oscar Onley.
That alone shows that Roglič still has plenty of quality and remains a strong contender in major stage races.
He then went on to become European time trial champion. It's fair to acknowledge that Remco Evenepoel was absent, and that the course suited Roglič's characteristics. Nevertheless, he still had to deliver the performance, and he did exactly that.
He may not be at his absolute peak anymore, but Roglič has proved that he still has what it takes to compete and win at the highest level.
For me, he's the clear choice as the best veteran of the 2026 season. 👏
