Luka magic show tonight

Mainly scoring, his passing was off, and his 3pt is still not there, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think he's missing Dwight Powell, Tobi is MIA the last few games.

I believe this didn't help Tobey.

Teams are prepared for Slovenia and with no 3 defensive seconds violation paint is much more clogged in Europe than in Nba. Germany decided to take that away. I hope his ancle won't bother him too much today.

Luka will need to hit 3s a bit better today, because France has 3 enormous players on C + very strong Yabusele. No party in the paint for him today.

[Bob8]

Tobey out.

[Mavrelous]

I hope Luka is fine, this was an amazing half.

Luka magic show tonight. Again.

Poirer is a punk, someone kick his white soft ass.

[Mavrelous]

TBH I thought he passed too much, he kicked to Dragic senior when had open lane, an drew a double team and passed to Zoran who blew it.

[Mavrelous]

What a great game

[41Dirk41]

47... History.

When his step back is on, torture chamber for the oppsing center.

We are blessed to have Luka on our team. That guy is too good.

But isn't he in bad physical condition?

Haha yup. It's hilarious when he has an all time great game and most comments in forums or social media is "he's still fat" or "he got posterized by Gobert though lol"

You know you're too good when haters trying to somehow bring you down even after a game like this.

My wife watched the last quarter with me, she played basketball in amateur league when she was a teen ager, I don't usually talk sports with my wife, after game 7 against the Suns I was excited like a child, and kept telling her about Luka, how he beat the Suns as an underdog after being mocked and so and so, she found the story interesting, so she finally got to see Luka, she immediately tells me, "is this your friend you keep talking about? he's very thick!" I ask her, do you mean fat? And she says no, he's not fat, he's thick.

Eurobasket has been fun, when I'm tired and don't want to read a story for my son, I used to tell him the story of Jusuf Nurkic and Nicola Jokic, how they were drafted from the Balkans into the same team, and went to America, and how Jusuf had to battle rejection from Denver and injury and still come out as a good player, and how he plays where I used to live (Portland) when I was watching the Bosnia game, my son noticed the name and immediately jumped to see Nurkic on TV.

That one-leg fadeway jump hook over Gobert from the arc is surreal. Easily the greatest plays among all highlight plays. Do Minny regret about trading too much for Gobert now? I think it is not a right decision. Gobert is already 30 and the athleticism will not stay forever. I think Gobert is on a regress in abyss style.

Story about Nurkic is a much better one.

In short,

Basketball agent was reading a story about a policeman, who beat up 15 people. He was something like 7' and 300 lb. He got interested, called him and asked him, if he had a son. He indeed had 14 years old, very big son, but he didn't play basketball. Agent took him in Slovenia, when he started to play basketball for the first time in his life and he stayed there for 3 years. And there all started. He could even played for Slovenia, but he decided for Bosnia.

Didn't know that, that is cool. A Nurkic and Luka duo on the Slovenia team would have been scary for the rest of the world.

Good twist to lengthen the story, I'm also trying to get him into martial arts maybe I'll sprinkle some of that in there also

You should learn martial arts and eat a lot of food.
