'Watching All The Whining And Complaining, I've Lost All Respect' - It Took Yaxel Lendeborg 1 Game In The NBA To Hate Luka, Told Him Mid-Game That He Sucks

If you're a college basketball fan you know all about Yaxel Lendeborg. Was a monster at UAB, transfers to Michigan, becomes a bigger star with Dusty May and wins the national title. Ever since he's been drafted by the Warriors he hasn't been shy to let the shit talking fly. He's been embraced now by the olds on the team and finding his role. I say that to get to last night. 

Warriors vs Lakers, Yaxel drawing Luka on rookie debut and he didn't back down. I mean he got right into Luka's shit and had no problem sort of mixing it up. That's Yaxel's game. But it's not what he did on the court or said on the court that drew the looks. It was this: 

If you're a college fan, you're not surprised by this. This is the Yaxel experience. He's never going to stop talking shit or saying something like this. And, sure, people are making fun of him for running his mouth after a loss, but who cares? He's not wrong. Luka is one of the biggest crybabies in the NBA. He's constantly looking for a foul and screaming at refs and all this stuff. He's awesome but my God, is he annoying to watch. So, yeah, good on Yaxel for saying that. 

Give me a dude like Yaxel over the dick sucking that we usually see and hear from rookies. I'd much rather have a guy tell an MVP-candidate he sucks and then call him out for being a crybaby. That's my kind of guy. It's also why people hate Yaxel. But give me a dude who isn't afraid or will at least mix it up if he has to. He's going to talk shit to every single person and we're going to get quotes like this on a regular basis. 

Hits more after a win, obviously. But, great start to your career. Just start hating everyone and you're on the right path to at least a 10-year career. It works.
