They're milking their new relationship with Luka to the moon

Lol. Maybe they're gonna put Luka reprints in all new products. They're for sure doing it for 2020 Donruss Clearly.

Yeah but usually its from RCs from the previous class to mock up what the actual RCs will look like, not guys that have been in the league for 3 years.

good point

Well, Slovenia destroyed Angola 118-68 in their first qualifying match

Pretty good for only 17 mins of play

imbluestreak23 · 06-30-2021, 06:17 PM

What if Luka takes down America

RogerGodahell · 06-30-2021, 06:28 PM

Lol that would be a tall task. They've gotta win their qualifying tournament first just to make the Olympics. Slovenia only has a population of like 2 million.

I mentioned in the Olympic thread though it's too bad all of the players that now make up former Yugoslavia aren't on one team like they used to be prior to the 90's. They could put together a pretty good team.

Have you seen the Slovenia team? Luka throwing lobs to guys who can barely dunk. Lithuania has Sabonis and Valanciunas, and seems like their biggest hurdle.

What do you guys think about what Windhorst said about nobody wanting to play with Luka?

https://www.yardbarker.com/nba/artic...16514_35270399

ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst elaborated on this during a recent appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

“I don’t know how many people are going to be excited to play with Luka. I think Luka is, maybe, a difficult person,” he said.

“He’s a great player, but when you watch the Mavericks play, he’s barking at the coach, he’s barking at his teammates, he’s barking at the officials. He’s always barking about something. He can really be an irritable guy.”

He just described 98% of all nba stars. These blowhards just talk to get clicks, that's it.

That was more sarcasm, but hey, that would be something!

Jordan famously said that he wouldn't ask his teammates to do anything he wouldn't do. I.e., stay in shape and not get fat in the offseason.

Windhorse looks like he ate an entire horse but nah that's just something he's making up. Players from the U.S. these days are soft compared to past generations. Media always trying to drum up some drama.

Boston in a game vs Seattle that was tied KC Jones was drawing up a play in the huddle and Bird says "why don't you just give me the ball and tell everybody else to get the hell out of the way" KC Jones didn't like being told what to do but he said "get Larry the ball and everyone else get the hell out of the way". Bird walked up to Xavier McDaniel told him where he was gonna get the ball and shoot it. Then he did exactly that, sunk the shot in his face and walked off the court.

This is why I loved Bird!! People just don't realize how much trash he talked in game, the thing is though, he backed up every word of it!

Slovenia back in action early this morning as they faced Poland who's a little better than Angola. Poland is ranked #13 in the world.

Poland couldn't handle Luka though as he finished with 18 Pts, 10 Reb, 6 Ast in only 21 minutes of play.

KhalDrogo · 07-01-2021, 12:19 PM

Slovenia should get to the finals against Lithuania on Sunday.

RogerGodahell · 07-01-2021, 01:16 PM

It's too bad Dallas doesn't still have their 1st round pick this year. This guy is projected to go right around where Dallas would have been in the early 20's. Though he might move up after some newer scouting videos have been coming out.

Kawhi would be a dream. Add a viable shooting threat and it's a wrap.

I honestly think Luka just needs a good 2nd option and an overall well-rounded roster. I'd be disappointed if Kawhi joined Luka and Dallas. Not that I wouldn't be excited about championships, it's just that I think Luka can do it with a legit #2 like Beal, he doesn't need another #1 like Kawhi.

And if he'd win it with just a legit #2, that pushes him up the ranks a lot faster.

Slovenia advances to the finals of the qualifying tournament with a win over Venezuela
