Michael van Gerwen says there is too much Luke Littler ‘hype’ after snubbing the darts sensation in favour of Luke Humphries. The Dutchman believes Humphries is the best player in the world heading into the World Darts Championship.
Van Gerwen was asked on Dutch channel Viaplay who he thought the best player in the world is. “I think it’s Luke Humphries,” was the emphatic response.
The host pointed out that most people would argue that Littler is better, prompting him to brutally respond: “But I don’t agree with that. That’s just because there’s a Littler hype, which kind of overshadows Humphries, and that’s not really fair.”
