Luka is already one of the all-time greats at age 23 - which is nutz. The only player with comparable stats @ age 23 is Bron. No one else comes close. However there is a monstrous wall of rock between Luka and this year's MVP - Mt. Steph! BTW, Luka, for his size is fast and athletic - he chooses to set the tempo, and he is so big and solid (pundits who call him soft are goofy) that defenders can't dispossess him if he comes to a halt.

I'd much rather take a lower seed and let Luka recover than try to maximize our regular season, especially if we don't plan on getting another ball handler.

0:14 playing for Slovenia in the European championship, not in the world cup

Although, I usually find coach's analysis extremely accurate, this time I have to disagree somewhat on the stats part. Sure the stats shown are in favor to Luka but... only barely to Giannis (33.6-31.8ppg, 7.9-5.3apg, 2.0-1.1spg). On top of that Giannis has (naturally) ridiculously higher numbers in rebounds (8.3-12.2rpg) and is still higher in blocks (0.6-1.4), while playing 4 minutes less (36.8-32.8), being more efficiently than Luka. And Steph is more efficient than both of them!!! So, yeah... Luka is extremely good from the start and Eurobasket helped, him posting is a very effective tactic (although in Europe, I suspect that if done so frequently teams would use an extra SF just to guard him), but there are still players with comparable numbers with him, playing less than Luka. Finally, one thing about coach Kidd: he really likes to shuffle positions to his stars (playing Giannis as playmaker and now Luka more like a forward), if there is the slightest possibility of gaining an advantage. I surely respect him much about this.

Yep Eurobasket = World Cup, how hard is that to get right

Can you do another round of interview the ref king, it seems officiating has been atrocious in the last few games

If I were the Mavs I’d give up either Kleber, Finney Smith or Bullock for a guy that can put the ball on the floor. A full team of three and D guys isn’t going to work.

Might be worth getting that ex NBA ref back on the channel. That Warriors v Cavs game was baffling. Especially the Mitchell rolled ankle that was called a Draymond foul, challenged, and maintained, with Kerr even saying postgame that he knew it wouldn't be reversed, which is bizarre in itself.

Luca trips on own feet and gets calls, and should be thrown out of most games for showing up the refs regwrding obvious fouls against him, or very solid no-calls on his contact initiating drives.
