Although Luka Doncic has been a hit since entering the NBA, the Slovenian sensation doesn’t look like the player he was when he was just 19 years old. He played a little faster and was quite thin when he initially joined the league. Despite certain changes to his body and style of play, Doncic has only gotten better since his overwhelming Rookie of the Year win in 2018–19.
Recently, Patrick Beverley discovered a widely shared collection of Luka’s best moments from his first playoff series, which was against Bev and the Los Angeles Clippers.
Beverley’s Luka Doncic remark gets trolled
Beverley praised Luka’s offensive skills as the best he’s ever seen.
He posted on Twitter: “Toughest person I ever had to guard. Sheesh,”
toughest person i ever had to guard. sheesh @PatBevPod https://t.co/nxGbhDcnBx

NBA fans couldn’t ignore Bev’s repeated statement, even though the former point guard might have just been attempting to give Doncic credit. These were the reactions:
Bro has said this about 5 different people

When you say that, what do you mean because I seen Kevin Durant give y’all 50 in the playoffs

It’s accurate. Beverley has talked positively of other potential Hall of Famers, even though he hasn’t used the same terms to compliment other celebrities as he did Doncic. When Beverley appeared on JJ Redick’s podcast in 2020, he stated that Damian Lillard was his most difficult defensive assignment.
Naturally, Dame was still at the peak of his game at the moment. However, it also happened following the playoff series Beverley had just tweeted about.
