    Children dealing with parents split up/divorce is an overblown issue (especially with rich parents).

    It doesn’t matter how rich they’re. It’s never easy for the children.

    He really is. I can't imagine trying to work while not having seen my kids in that long. Let alone leading the league in scoring and be in the MVP race. That's insane.

    She seems very immature for what's going on. No matter the situation between them this isn't right.

    Sorry, but this is a crazy and pretty harsh take. I've been around quite a few divorces wirh young kids involved and it was bad in every case. Money doesn't solve everything and in some case it may make the situatuon even worse (especially if it's related to fame).

    back to NBA

    Luka Dončić recorded his 7th triple-double of the season and the 89th of his career, finishing with 31 points (11-of-24 shooting, 4-of-12 from three, 5-of-6 from the free-throw line), 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, along with 4 turnovers, 2 steals, and 1 block.
    With this performance, Luka surpassed Kobe Bryant, who had 5 triple-doubles with 30+ points while with the Lakers

    Magic Johnson still leads all-time for the Lakers with 17, while LeBron James has 14 such games.

    With LeBron out you will see many more of those. He normally will get 10 or more a year. Especially as we get more shooters.

    Actually, if you've been following all the rich and famous lately, the kids tend to decide to be other things than you they actually are. My buddy went to high school at Torrey pines high school in the 90s and said the rich kids were 1000 times worse than non-rich kids because their parents were j*** stains of society where it mattered.

    If you are one of the many complaining about how the world is right now, you'll find a lot of those roots in broken marriages and rich scum bags to boot.

    They met somewhere in Europe at the beach at 12 years old and she's older than Luka like for 9-10 money ,so maybe 15 years of dating it's a little too much for them
    She was his most important fan at Dallas and almost never missed any games

    Multiple sides to the story. He could have been cheating on her.

    But not letting him see his kids is just cruel. Take a flight, stay in LA for a couple of weeks every month, and let the man see his damn kids... It's not like she would be traveling commercial. She'd have a private jet, all expenses paid lodging, and would make life a lot easier for both of them.

    Oh I definitely agree about multiple sides. I wasn't talking about anything to do with their relationship. Letting her feelings affect their children is the problem.

    Not bad, not really sure how he’s not at least IN the MVP talks. We may not be a contender but we are 3rd seed currently

    for whatever reason, i feel like it's a career-long trend of luka being cold from three to start seasons and then picking it up over time.

    Clutch. Killer instinct. Mamba Mentality. Luka has got Kobe's attributes in spades. Easily the best scorer in the game. I can't wait to see what he does in the playoffs.

    Do you remember any Laker who won MVP without the best record in the NBA? They won’t bend it for Laker players not named Magic

    I'd like to see Luka break Bam's record in honor of Kobe.

    It's a crime that happened.

    If Bam could get to 83, Luka could get to 120.
