Doncic Faces Heavy Criticism! Draymond Blasts Media for Double Standards and Flip-Flopping: You Owe Harrison an Apology

On February 28th, Beijing time, Lakers star Luka Doncic has recently faced a barrage of criticism from the media. Notable reporter Lowe once stated that Doncic constantly complains to the referees, making his games almost unwatchable. Warriors player Draymond Green shared his perspective on this, directing his criticism squarely at the media—

"People have been criticizing Doncic's approach to the referees for a while now. But to call it 'unwatchable'—I find it hard to believe that a superstar, a player who creates so much on offense, could reach a point of being unwatchable. In my view, 'unwatchable' sounds more like a trendy catchphrase. Doncic's overall performance in a game could never truly be considered unwatchable."

"A player in his 7th or 8th season, still called 'Luka Magic,' suddenly becomes unwatchable? I understand the point he's trying to make, but I think the term 'unwatchable' is misused. On this point, I want to say: I'm not here to debate his defense or his complaining to the refs—that's for you all to discuss. Butwhat I can't stand is the media's double standards and constant flip-flopping. That's what I truly can't accept."

"When we all saw Doncic get traded from the Mavericks to the Lakers, everyone was shocked and confused. You almost never see that happen with such a young cornerstone player; it's completely abnormal. Nico Harrison (the Mavericks' GM at the time) kept explaining back then why he believed it was the right move for the Mavericks."

"Whether it was right or wrong, I'm not a Mavericks fan, and I don't really care. But what I do care about is this: countless people tore Harrison apart at the time. When he gave those reasons, everyone called him crazy, ridiculous. But now I turn on the TV, and the same media members who criticized Harrison and indirectly led to his dismissal are now repeating the exact same things he said back then."

"It just baffles me, because I haven't seen a single person step up and say: 'Hey, Nico, I'm sorry, I was wrong to criticize you back then, because what I'm saying now is exactly what you said.' That's what I really don't understand. Let me say it again, this isn't about Doncic; it's purely about the media and Harrison. Harrison, as the team's GM, gave his reasons, and everyone called him an idiot, told him to get fired, the worst GM in NBA history. Now you're all saying the same things, yet not a single person has said: maybe Nico was right, maybe his move back then was reasonable, maybe he shouldn't have been fired. No one has said that."

"I truly can't stand this lack of accountability.We live in a world where the media can freely go on wild rants, demanding accountability from everyone else, while they themselves have zero accountability, zero responsibility. They go on TV every day, critiquing this, commenting on that, demanding others meet the highest standards and take the greatest responsibility, yet they bear none themselves.. That really bothers me. So, if you're going to keep saying these things, please apologize to Harrison first. You ruined this man's career, and now you're saying the exact same things, without a single apology from start to finish."

"I really can't accept it; to me, it seems somewhat cowardly. Needless to say, Doncic is an exceptionally special talent, a very, very special talent. Butif everyone is now repeating what Harrison said back then, you owe him an apology."
