Luka Doncic Is The NBA's Truest Gamer

by John Wilmes

It's time for some Gamer Theory: Luka Doncic plays Overwatch, and is in the 99th percentile of performance. He's in the 100th percentile of NBA players, but it's important to understand he's also elite pretending to be a futuristic gladiator and talking trash to teenagers.

Why does Bochy want to turn this guy into a star? He has better options.

Cut him some slack, Giants fans. He definitely lost his cool. He owned up to it and apologized. His teammates/coaches, while acknowledging he made a mistake, are still supporting him. Fiery guy in an incredibly intense situation. Give him some space to learn from it.

As to the pitching...it's too easy to fixate on "5 home runs." The sample size is too small, as was his 0.00 ERA from the regular season. With the exception of game 2, he's pretty much dominated righties (regular season WHIP: 0.69; postseason WHIP: 0.86). He's obviously struggled a lot more against lefties.
