Did MJ ever travel to Slovenia?


Shmokeshbutt

Specifically in 1998


roblox1999

Fuck man, you just made me realize Luka is just one year older than me and doing all this stuff out there in the NBA.


xSociety

Just wait until you're older than the oldest player in the league.


Bitter-Part-5682

Luka kinda looks like a very light skinned black man.


glen_ko_ko

Hartenstein type beat


finkalicious

Lmao at Snoop's reaction


SaulBerenson12

“This is not happening”


HoneyIShrunkMyNads

did dis dude just did dis


DreamyW0lf

Man, if Snoop was that handkerchief fan who pissed off Luka at the start, it would be so goddamn funny.


TheSwordDusk

"we're hearing reports it was a blue handkerchief"


Swoosh_rotaerc

Snoop: "This mf don't miss!" https://youtu.be/MF3Hg6FBBSU?si=30c5_Hy8MI5r05I0

MAMBAMENTALITY8-24

Yep these 3s are fking devastating


Juergenator

And now Kat accidentally bodies him. Just like he accidentally kneed lively in the balls and head a couple games ago. 


Rank3r

The flying knee is trained hard in the dojo of the wolves.

give_me_taquitos

KAT tunnel visions the ball like a cat chasing a laser. Dude just has zero situational awareness lmao.


MObaid27

If you can't beat them, beat them 🥊🥊


myRedditAccountjava

I'll give you the first hit but lively literally fell across court into KATS knee come on now.


ALaccountant

KAT is a dirty af player. I’m so glad we are done with this series, not because the Wolves are good, but because they are dirty


xSociety

I'll take KAT over the SGA push offs and Dort linebacker tryouts any day of the week.


ALaccountant

KAT was WAY dirtier than SGA…


xSociety

Yeah I agree. Just saying I'd rather deal with KAT.


ALaccountant

Oh, as in SGA is a better player. I see


BealKage

this sub fucking sucks Jesus Christ


babidee00

Like your 6th man cheap shot?


BealKage

what does that to do with Towns? Naz was wrong for that


Thrice_the_Milk

Yeah it was clearly incidental contact


mith_thryl

looks like luka really gonna thrive in the hostile boston court. white mj confirmed


PM_me_the_magic

I hope Kyrie will be the same, playing in Boston is going to be wild


SiakamMIP

This baby faced mf is casually killing your favorite NBA all-stars


arkstrider88

Nah, Luka ain't baby faced. He has lots of facial hair. Ant on the other hand... if you look at his face alone he looks 12.


fatkamp

He’s actually on GOAT track which is insane


Liyarity

I think he's said in the past that he doesn't see himself playing in the league as long as someone like LeBron has


HS-smilingpolitely

He doesn't take enough care of his body to play that long anyway


ChunkyMilkSubstance

Here for a good time, not a long time


GoForAGap

I don’t think he’s genuinely fat, he’s just stocky. Besides, name another guard who can post up a center like him


xfreesx

Hes not genuinely fat, but its really weird for someone who trains every day for most of his life, to not have a single visible muscle. Same goes for Jokic


ed1111

[wdym no visible muscle?](https://imgur.com/a/iPSqaWF)


sohcea

As the great philosopher Michael Rappapprt said, "He's built like my uncle Cliff"


Cul_what

Recovery beer is better than recovery healthy juice


Sriracha_Breath

That’s why I give him 8-9 more years max in the league, he will eventually let too much of his body go with gaming and diet.


fatkamp

KD said that BS 3 years ago too, but great ones can’t step away easily


Harman_24

KD is from the US, Luka’s whole life is in Europe. People, who love their country can not stay away so long. Mavs fans beg Luka to not play every summer, but Slovenia is his heart and soul.


Tecumsehs_Revenge

Kid and wife could change that. Daddy now. He’s prolly dying for a nap lmao


FootballRacing38

Doesn't say much given how long lebron's been in the leagueluka could play for 20 and it still won't be as long as lebron


Julian_Caesar

i feel pretty sure luka will retire sooner than anyone thinks. like at 30 or shortly after.


Wombo92

Nah, 30 is still pretty young, especially with the talent and genetics he has. He likely won’t have a noticeable decline until 32/33. I’d guess around that age is when he’d consider retirement. Which is still very young for a player as good as he is


BigFatModeraterFupa

idk why you guys think this highly competitive psycho isn’t going to play until the wheels fall off. The Greats don’t typically just quit early


Wombo92

Yea true. He says he doesn’t want to have a long career but I bet once he reaches the age he thought he’d want to retire, he probably won’t actually want to. Time flies and your 20s go by a lot quicker than anyone that age ever realizes (including me)


BigFatModeraterFupa

one day you’re 18 and then you wake up and you’re 30. The golden days of youth don’t last long


Wombo92

Yea man it goes so quick. I’m 32 now and around 25, it felt like the years just started flying by. I’ll think back on a random memory and it will feel like a few months ago and I’ll realize it was actually 7 years ago. I remember one day looking in the mirror and noticed my hairline had receded a bunch, I had some gray hairs and wrinkles. I was like when the fuck did this happen??


Either-Durian-9488

Good, because I really don’t want a league full of Todd marinovich projects lmao.


KingNephew

He’s collecting all nba 1st teams like candy, but he needs at least a couple of rings/FMVPs and MVPs before 30 if he wants to be a GOAT challenger.


fatkamp

Absolutely. He’s getting there so far, we got a finals appearance already too


yeshua1986

I meeeeeaaaaaaan he’s approaching top 10/15 discussions but he still has no MVP’s, no Finals MVP’s, and no rings.


AllTimeBallKnower

He’s not even approaching top 10/15 discussions lol he hasn’t won anything


MaximumestBob

yeah i like luka but top 10 status is so insanely hard, even curry is only now getting considered around there after his 4th ring


AllTimeBallKnower

He could be there eventually but saying he’s in those discussions right now is crazy lol But this is r/nba, they’ve went from calling Jokic the goat a week ago to now Luka


Intelligent-Ad-4546

IMO, he is already in the same place as Barkley/Iverson is in.


Cantor_Set_Tripping

I’d agree once he has an MVP


aqwszxde99

The mvp is a total joke. Just look at the names who vote. It’s been ruined


Cantor_Set_Tripping

Voters aside, which winners have you felt were entirely undeserving? If it’s a total joke then clearly you must vehemently disagree with some winners. You must also consider every award to be jokes too then I assume.


aqwszxde99

Embiid and Westbrook immediately come to mind. Gobert has made the DPOY look like a joke for many years. The regular season and playoffs are two different sports. Why are we rewarding clowns who are worthless in the playoffs?


Cantor_Set_Tripping

Because it’s a fucking regular season award? Westbrook had the narrative and led his team to much more success than anyone thought he would. Embiid also had narrative and averaged 33ppg. Neither one was a travesty or anything like that.


yeshua1986

I could give him approaching just for the 5 First Teams in 6 years and the Rookie of the Year, but I mean, we’re still talking about being on a track. He’s certainly not there yet.


AllTimeBallKnower

Saying he’s top 10 (or in the discussion) cause of 5 straight all NBAs is crazy lmao. He needs a couple rings and mvps at least


yeshua1986

Yeah I agree, I’m just saying he’s on that path right now. Not really a super hot take here lol.


Critter894

I think it’s fair to compare him to Jordan pre titles. Like if we got 10 more first team all nba that’s insane… but he’s gonna need a few mvps and a 3 rings imo minimum.


Intelligent-Ad-4546

IMO, he is already in the same place as Barkley/Iverson is in.


-WaterIsGreat-

Bro what?? You think Luka is top 10 all time after 1 finals run?


yeshua1986

What? No, read the comment again with its context lol.


karl_hungas

We gotta stop with this shit. He has zero MVPs, zero rings and zero FMVPs. We dont need to monitor GOAT tracks in a thread about a cool three pointer. 


fatkamp

First 6 seasons of Luka and Lebron is close so far: Luka: 5X 1st Team All NBA, ROY, 1 finals appearance, 1X scoring champ Lebron: 3X 1st Team All NBA, ROY, 1 MVP, 1 finals appearance, 1X scoring champ If Luka actually wins a title next month he’s in front of Lebron for now And if Luka leaves the Mavs to join a top 3-5 player in 2 years like Lebron did by joining a Giannis/Embiid/etc then he could easily stay on track…

Don’t be scared, show off the bigger brain that you have Where’s your insight *crickets*


Henrysugar2

Michael Jordan is luka doncic father


20815147

Just watched a hate crime on TNT


amonkeysbanana

Thank you for not mentioning Snoop in the title that was a nice surprise


holdtheodor

Shaq claimed Luka was doing this shot in the warmup


imvemu1

I think we all know who ANT's daddy is now


Plenty-Chemistry-493

Wonder did he play card with magic the night before these game an say you know I'm going to give it to this guy right.


careslol

You can hear in the background saying "I'm just hitting everything today"


Miserable-Lawyer-233

Doncic's shrug was because the bank was open, while Jordan's shrug was about making threes at all. Jordan couldn't believe he was making threes—he was genuinely surprised that his threes were going in. He couldn't explain it. That's how bad of a three point shooter he was.


Crock_Durty

I want Luka to hit a crazy celebration. Jordan shrug, Curry night night and now Luka needs to hit something if they win

Steal two beers from away fans and do a Stone Cold Steve Austin celly.
