  1. Hawks are lucky that Nico’s an idiot.

    I know they got Trae in that trade, but it’s still bad.

  3. Kind of unreal how mature his body and movements were for an 18 year old

    Like everyone likes to say “Luka was playing against grown men as a teenager” which was true… but based on his build he was *one of* the grown men

  4. We tried to explain to people pre-draft that winning Euroleague MVP at that age is insane, and that this guy was a truly unusual player. 

  13. That footwork is elite.

    Footwork > speed.

    Thats how Euro players dominate in todays game.

  17. Right ear: Ew, awful music

    Left ear: I love a good highlight reel without awful music

  19. While I agree with the fact he takes plays off on d sometimes and can look gassed at the end of games, that just comes with being a human being that isn’t Lebron, Jordan, Kobe, etc. I can see how his endurance could be better as in, he would benefit from it and it isn’t impossible, but I would hesitate to call him less than fit or unfit or fitness issues or whatever. He’s still very much fit, probably significantly fitter than most NBA centers, he’s just as fit as is humanly possible.

    You can look at guys like Gafford, Allen and other rim running bigs who are definitely very fit and jacked, and who have a job that is way less taxing than him and tjey get gassed too. I’ve seen Lebron gassed at the end of games, even Curry who’s like the endurance goat.

    There are other players who look fitter and are generaly deemed as much who I see gassed much more often. Take a look at Ant for example. The playoffs before this he looked exhausted for the whole Mavs series.

    I get your point though, and I recognize you’re not hating at all. I think we might have a different understanding of it.

  23. I can’t believe he slipped to the Mavs. It’s also permanently 2024 in my world.

  25. He surely doesn’t move like that anymore….maybe it’s weight or maybe it’s the fact the nba plays way more games in a season and then he plays during the off-season so his body is exhausted, either way he doesn’t move like this anymore. Hopefully we see this come back this next season

  26. He was terrific in the EuroLeague as well don’t get me wrong but for clarification, the majority of these highlights are from the ACB, not the EuroLeague. The ACB is still arguably the best domestic competition on the continent alongside the Turkish League, but still it remains couple of levels below the what EuroLeague is

  27. Luka is a weird player.

    Obviously, as players get slower and less athletic, their game is affected, but it’s not the case with him. Despite putting on weight and losing his agility and athleticism to a degree, he’s still breaking down players the same way

    Perhaps it’s too soon to say it, but his style of play, offensively speaking, may just be timeless

  29. Slow and smooth and smooth is fast… now imagine this year he’s faster and smooth?? Watch out

  32. I love how his European highlights have the shitty MIDI music soundtrack as if Europe was still stuck in the late 80s.

  35. Luka is absolutely insane at putting his defender on skates. Something about the way he fakes using his body is so perfect and unstoppable
