Luka’s the best second year player since Lebron and I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that at this point.

I was high on Luka but this insane in the membrane, verging on LeBron rookie impact.

I feel soo good about my Luka Doncic evaluations in the 2018 Draft.

This comes in a crucial time, since Robin Lopez in the Bucks does not look that great as I expected for now...

He is better in the fundamentals than LeBron was in his second year.

The question is how will he lead Dallas in the postseason in a much more difficult conference that 2nd year LeBron faced.

I took a big L here. I thought he was a good prospect whose ceiling was fringe all star type guy.

In all fairness, what he is doing now is not easy to fully comprehend nor predict.

But anyone that said "How will Doncic adapt to the NBA" was clearly unaware of what made Doncic unique in Euroleague and how easily his skill translates to the NBA basketball.

That said, he also has the privilege of playing for Rick Carlisle who is smart enough not to tell him to stop driving to the basket the moment he had a turnover ( 8-)

).

I don't think it's hyperbole to say he's been even better than 2nd year LeBron tbh

LeBron was dominating other boys in high school at age 16. Luka was dominating full grown men.

2 players from the same team in top 5. Kind of defeats the purpose of MVP.....

For the mid season tournament, soccer does something similar right? Do soccer fans over there care about it? I'm honestly curious. Is it like NCAA where they have different tournaments around this time of year?

In England they have two: FA Cup and League Cup. What makes these good is that all the leagues participate, not just those in premier league. So you’ll get these good stories of small teams in lower leagues going on a good run and taking on the big guys.

But the top teams generally field B teams in these comps until they make the semis or so. They prioritise the Premier League and Champions League above all else.

Middling to lower teams/fans tend to care more. Big teams and their fans don’t care as much unless they’re in the final.

This color commentator girl from the Nuggets feed really sounds like Sophia Minnaert but with less of a whiny accent.

Doncic is not going to go away in the MVP discussion. That guy is bonkers. Glad I got LP so I can watch him so much.

When was the last time a 20 year old was in the discussion for MVP?

Trick question, Bogey turned 21 a month or so into his rookie season before the MVP discussion really started to heat up.

22 i think. Still ridiculous.

Luka doesn't faze me. Dude has been competing against men since the age of 16.
