I found a thread on twitter and the guy breaks down Luka’s impact with supporting data. Is Luka a generational talent or an overrated player? Everyone seems to think he’s a winning player but the stats say otherwise.

Some stats below:

Kyrie with Luka together: +/- +2.95 (286 mins)

Luka (Kyrie on bench): +/- -3.5 (275 mins)

Kyrie (Luka on bench): +/- +5.6 (142 mins)

Both Harden (in his prime) and Luka are winning players. Don't use plus/minus, it's a shit stat that doesn't have enough context to be the sole indicator.

Harden had elite rapm and advanced plus minus stats. Luka doesn’t.
