    Nope but it sound like my wheelhouse. Will try to watch. Just finished The Boys on Prime. I wish I had laser beams for eyes.

    Luka Doncic is literally a top 3 player in the NBA this year. Right now. And he's not 2 or 3. Luka is currently the single best player in the NBA according to metrics.

    James Harden and Giannis are having generational seasons (so is LeBron, but that's another point. No one does what he's doing in year 17). Harden is literally having the best offensive season ever.

    Or, that is, he would be, except for 20-year-old Luka Doncic, who is outplaying one of the 3 greatest offensive basketball players in history. And Harden is IN HIS PRIME.

    I was on the Luka train while he was playing in the EuroLeague with Madrid, because he was just a kid and was dominating the 2nd best league in the world. But it was still obscene to expect him to be the best player in the NBA at 20.

    But that's exactly what he is.

    Watching Dirk ruin Lebron is an all-time top sports moment for me. Watching Luka do it would top it.

    Western Power rankings through the first quarter

    Clippers - not as good a record as the Lakers but have the head to head

    Lakers - best first quarter since the Bulls and Warriors won 70

    Mavs - 1 and 1 against the Lakers. For real

    Rockets - should be higher but everybody hates them except Wilbur.

    Luka is great. Far beyond what I thought he could be. He's also 20 and that matters in the playoffs. This is not their year, but 2 years from now look out.

    It was the little @creepycoug point guard that kept posting up Lebron.

    Only player in nba history to win a title without another all star on the team.

    Honestly should have been two for dirk, refs fucked him over the first time against the heat

    Luka is just a hair short of averaging 30/10/10 at 20 years old, dude hasn't even physically matured yet lmao.

    Dirk is probably my favorite player ever, but Luka is exponentially more talented than dirk was at this age, he's also going to be cheap for a few more years, mavs are one piece away from being a championship team.

    Also, his mom... Wood

    Sixers are very talented but we play to opponents and with the new starters chemistry isn't quite there yet. Matisse Thybulle has been huge. Raptors are deep but not sold on them yet.

    Raptors have bunch a front running player. They will choke like they will always do, Leonard helped in that regard

    There was a report that Daryl Morey's model had Luka Doncic as the 3rd best player in the world when he was 18.

    He went 3rd in the NBA draft. NBA teams fucking stupid. Like drafting a guy who shot 37% in college in the top 10 (Cam Reddish). Or tweener post scorers from Duke who can't play D in the top 3 (Bagley and Okafor).

    NBA rookies actually voted that Reddish would have the best career. Those guys need to forget AAU ball. He was pretty bad at Duke and he will be bad in the NBA.

    Luka is already a top 5 NBA player, so crazy.

    That poster Cuntwaffle makes some good points.

    Need to find the post where I predict Luka will be great for no other reason than Kings passed on him for Bagley.

    Yeah I really don't understand that, but it's not like NBA players are the best measure. Kobe said Carmelo was the hardest player to guard and the NBA players voted Donovan Mitchell ROTY in a year where Simmons was generational for a rookie.

    Anyway, shame on anyone who thought Reddish was good. You don't shoot 37% in college and turn out good. NBA front offices are fucking dumb.

    Mavs are for real. That’s a deep team with a legitimate superstar.

    Mavs Lakers CF is where it's at.

    Doubt the Mavs are ready to beat the Clippers. Rockets will be there too but will lose in the WCF or the round before. They could conceivably beat the Mavs tho.
