    I talked about this a few months ago, see near the end of the video one of the most impressive shots ever, small ball and small hoop in a moving vehicle about the 4 minute mark

    I think that is by design from JJ. He has gotten way more aggressive in the first now with getting his shot. It gets everyone on the D shell shocked. They will start doubling and open up the rest of the team. Luka has always played a mental game with it anyway though. He tries to get into the opponent's head. This just adds another layer.

    I absolutely this team so far. Add a backup big like Gafford and a 3&D wing and no one is stopping this. The biggest improvement with Luka so far this year has been on D. He is really working more on that side of things.

    Great player. Glad he's a Laker. He knows how to properly use our bigs (which is what we need for playoffs)

    only jokic being some bizarre chubby wilt chamberlain is in the way of people understanding that luka is the larry bird/ magic johnson lovechild that the nba has wished for since the 80s. if only he were american, the sponsors would go crazy (same with jokic).

    anyway, him coming here has been exactly as i imagined, which is great.

    I don’t know how we always are able to get a player like this. I can see why fans of other teams say this s*** is rigged

    "Boring "30 + points 10 + rebounds by Luka standards and actually he was bad from 3 . Only 33 %

    This is brutal. Would have been the best backcourt duo for 10 years straight.

    Hope you're ready Book



    How much Luka hates the clippers and the suns makes him 10x more fun to watch and have as our own.

    No Luka tomorrow



    One of his fan accounts said he's back in Slovenia for the birth of baby #2. Haven't seen that substantiated yet though
