"Doncic is lazy on defense"

Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the world, but he is not free from having detractors who criticize him harshly. Evidence of this is the recurring criticism he receives regarding his physical condition, attitude towards referees, or defense. This time, a former NBA player like Michael Cooper went as far as calling him lazy.

It is interesting to see how there are players who do not leave anyone indifferent and whose greatness sparks all kinds of comments, both positive and negative. This is the case with Luka Doncic. Since arriving in the NBA, the Slovenian has divided opinions among all basketball lovers. Nobody can deny that he is a colossal player, but to this day many are eager to trivialize his competitive impact and highlight his possible flaws over his countless virtues.

This is what Michael Cooper, a former Lakers player whose jersey will soon be retired, has done. Taking advantage of the media attention received due to this fact, he harshly criticized Luka Doncic. "He has a great ability to score and almost gets a triple-double every night, but I find him too slow. If he didn't score as much, I wouldn't want him on my team because he doesn't defend at all, he's very lazy in that aspect," he declared in words reported by Hoopshype from a podcast.
