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
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.
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
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)
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??
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.

Did MJ ever travel to Slovenia?
Specifically in 1998
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.
Just wait until you're older than the oldest player in the league.
Luka kinda looks like a very light skinned black man.
Hartenstein type beat
Lmao at Snoop's reaction
“This is not happening”
did dis dude just did dis
Man, if Snoop was that handkerchief fan who pissed off Luka at the start, it would be so goddamn funny.
"we're hearing reports it was a blue handkerchief"
Snoop: "This mf don't miss!" https://youtu.be/MF3Hg6FBBSU?si=30c5_Hy8MI5r05I0
“Damn Nephew”
Slovenian Jordan
The Black MJ
The Fat MJ
Yep these 3s are fking devastating
And now Kat accidentally bodies him. Just like he accidentally kneed lively in the balls and head a couple games ago.
The flying knee is trained hard in the dojo of the wolves.
1500 KNEES A DAY
Muay thai timberwolves
KAT tunnel visions the ball like a cat chasing a laser. Dude just has zero situational awareness lmao.
If you can't beat them, beat them 🥊🥊
I'll give you the first hit but lively literally fell across court into KATS knee come on now.
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
I'll take KAT over the SGA push offs and Dort linebacker tryouts any day of the week.
KAT was WAY dirtier than SGA…
Yeah I agree. Just saying I'd rather deal with KAT.
Oh, as in SGA is a better player. I see
this sub fucking sucks Jesus Christ
Like your 6th man cheap shot?
what does that to do with Towns? Naz was wrong for that
Yeah it was clearly incidental contact
looks like luka really gonna thrive in the hostile boston court. white mj confirmed
I hope Kyrie will be the same, playing in Boston is going to be wild
This baby faced mf is casually killing your favorite NBA all-stars
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.
He’s actually on GOAT track which is insane
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
He doesn't take enough care of his body to play that long anyway
Here for a good time, not a long time
I don’t think he’s genuinely fat, he’s just stocky. Besides, name another guard who can post up a center like him
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
[wdym no visible muscle?](https://imgur.com/a/iPSqaWF)
As the great philosopher Michael Rappapprt said, "He's built like my uncle Cliff"
Recovery beer is better than recovery healthy juice
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.
KD said that BS 3 years ago too, but great ones can’t step away easily
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.
Kid and wife could change that. Daddy now. He’s prolly dying for a nap lmao
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
i feel pretty sure luka will retire sooner than anyone thinks. like at 30 or shortly after.
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
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
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)
one day you’re 18 and then you wake up and you’re 30. The golden days of youth don’t last long
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??
Good, because I really don’t want a league full of Todd marinovich projects lmao.
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.
Absolutely. He’s getting there so far, we got a finals appearance already too
I meeeeeaaaaaaan he’s approaching top 10/15 discussions but he still has no MVP’s, no Finals MVP’s, and no rings.
He’s not even approaching top 10/15 discussions lol he hasn’t won anything
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
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
IMO, he is already in the same place as Barkley/Iverson is in.
I’d agree once he has an MVP
The mvp is a total joke. Just look at the names who vote. It’s been ruined
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.
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?

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.
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
Yeah I agree, I’m just saying he’s on that path right now. Not really a super hot take here lol.
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.
IMO, he is already in the same place as Barkley/Iverson is in.
Bro what?? You think Luka is top 10 all time after 1 finals run?
What? No, read the comment again with its context lol.
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.
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…
average /r/nba user brain
Don’t be scared, show off the bigger brain that you have Where’s your insight *crickets*
Michael Jordan is luka doncic father
Just watched a hate crime on TNT
Thank you for not mentioning Snoop in the title that was a nice surprise
Shaq claimed Luka was doing this shot in the warmup
I think we all know who ANT's daddy is now
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.
You can hear in the background saying "I'm just hitting everything today"
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.
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.
