Did you see the highlights? Come on man they are so eerily similar! At least give Beverley some credit :lol:

Reminds me of how they used to call the Lakers Sean Rooks the best 3rd string center in the NBA back in the 90s. :lol:

John Lucas III might be the worst NBA player I have ever seen. Even worse than Milt Palacio possibly. That's bad.

I lost a few years off my life watching him and Alan Anderson chuck the raptors into oblivion back in 2012-2013

I'm fairly confident I could lose 7-11 to Lucas in a pick up game.

Still not as bad as Landry Fields.
On Gerald Henderson vs Derozan:
"Yes. Hendo is quite a bit better than DeMar.
So yes, I do believe he's currently the better player and do project that will continue to be in the future. I would also take Turner over DD."

We wouldn't have Dante Exum if it weren't for this guy. :rockon:

Thank you John Lucas, we will always remember you. :party:

If any team is looking for a tank commander, this is your guy!

Best tribute video ever? :lol:

Great video OP. This is one of those amazing videos that show how a player really is
.
People say that you can make a long video about any player's misses and turnovers, but even though everyone misses, they don't miss the same way or take the same shots/make the same decisions
.
Lucas makes bad decisions 9/10 times. Even when he scores, he made a dumb decision to take that shot and shouldn't have.
.
This video shows perfectly what low IQ means. Open guys rolling and him ignoring them, taking bad 3pt shots with 20 seconds on the clock, trying to iso when someone has a matchup advantage, playing matador defense, stupid fadeaways he NEVER EVER MAKES all the time...that's stupidity 101.
.
Even guys like Monta Ellis who are considered chuckers and meh percentage shooters, you can see that he has problems with finishing and shooting, but mostly does it in the correct moment.

He misses kinda-easy layups or tries difficult moves he shouldn't sometimes, but those occasions often follow up getting some space to drive, so his layup attempt was correct and he should take it. He doesn't iso when his teammates are open, there are 20 seconds on the clock or Dirk is asking for a post pass

It'll be interesting to see how many more APG Hayward gets with just Lucas out of the game.
Jazz on your face.
