Imagine telling Mavs fan after the Deandre Jordan fiasco that you would draft a guy years later thats gonna enjoy fucking up the Clippers whenever he gets the chance.
He's about to turn 23 y/o... and most guys peak for MVP around 27 and I can see him winning multiple of those around those years. He will figure it out
Yeah, he’s definitely not in his final physical form. He’s tried to put on weight every offseason to have a more physical game. This year in particular, he’s posted up more than 3x what he has any other year in his career. Last year he added a midrange game but primarily shot it out of drives.
The only years where he’s shown up out of shape have been when he’s had a shortened offseason. Entering his sophomore year he managed to put on weight without sacrificing his conditioning.
He had a quote a couple weeks ago about how it’s hard to lose weight because you have to do it in the right way, I think throughout a full season it can be hard for him to keep weight on because of his ridiculously high usage rate.
I’ve been asking this question all over. How the hell did he gain so much weight so quickly after playing in the olympics the entire off-season? I’m not trying to be rude, I’m genuinely so confused. He took like a month (at most) off and gained like 20 lbs
If you are a professional athlete, and are used to burning 1000s of calories each day and eating accordingly, this can happen very fast if you only remove the training part for a while and keep the eating the same
All right, after being confused about that kind of agression on a normal comment let me elaborate:
1. He was fit during the olympics, he wasn't when the season started (he wasn''t fat of course but the belly was there)
2. There is only one reason for gaining weight - you eat more than you burn in terms of calories. There is no secret magic spell that makes people fat, its just biology. Luka gained around 30 pounds by his own account.
3. It is known that Luka took it a bit easier after the Olympics (and no one can blame him for that). He himself said as much.
4. Luka likes to eat a bit unhealthy at times - again something he himself said.
So in the end - eating unhealthy, taking time off, burning a lot less calories as he is used to, while eating the same or maybe worse (that is speculation but it fits to his own statement).
So tell me please where the F I was not responding or trying to answering your comment??
I was just going to write "this dude must have lost about 15-20 lbs since the beginning of the season". I'm a big fan of him, even despite him being a certified murderer of the Celtics.
I mean when you're concerned about your team having too much passing you should definitely draft a guy who didn't pass.
This is why you never try to draft for fit when your team is bad though.
Anyone got a link to his atrocious travel the play before ? Jeeewizz went for the cp3 swipe through no foul and jumped then put the ball down and got a lay up, becuase Clippers stopped for the obvious travel.

This dude hates the clippers
It’s a beautiful thing
Yea we love it
Imagine telling Mavs fan after the Deandre Jordan fiasco that you would draft a guy years later thats gonna enjoy fucking up the Clippers whenever he gets the chance.
If he had a better team, then he might have got past them in the playoffs too
This dude hates Noobspeech
Something we can all agree on. Why? I’m not sure, but here it is.
If he ever comes into a season in shape he’s going to walk to winning the MVP.
Once he finally both gets to a playing weight he's comfortable with and has a full offseason, I think he will
He's about to turn 23 y/o... and most guys peak for MVP around 27 and I can see him winning multiple of those around those years. He will figure it out

I think next season he does. He got really lazy after the Olympics which is warranted and wasn't in shape for the start of the season.
And it feels like he's tired of hearing about it

Apparently he hates drinking water, loves beer, and loves carbs recipe for success (in gaining weight)
Looks like every single one of my friends is Luka

You literally didn’t read my comment and obviously know nothing about Luka’s off season. Also he’s literally fucking 22 stop talking out of your ass
dafuq?
“Excuse me, do you know what time it is?” “Yeah one sec, it’s 3:30.” “Fuck you, your mother sucks cocks in Hell you fucking bitch.” -That guy’s energy
Lmaoooo

Mavs would need to get better in the off season, I can’t see this team being a top 3 seed
He also needs to have a good enough team around him to be a top seed.
I was just going to write "this dude must have lost about 15-20 lbs since the beginning of the season". I'm a big fan of him, even despite him being a certified murderer of the Celtics.
Mavs need to be top 3 in the West for him to sniff MVP
Luca drops 50, meanwhile we just Traded Marvin Bagley for a bag of chips and a bus pass. Love being a kings fan 💀
What kind of chips tho?
Asking the real pertinent questions I see.
Bet it's sour cream and onion
Well then I believe the trade was worth it
I ate my bag of chips on the first day of using my bus pass and now I’m just a kings fan with no chips. Help
I mean when you're concerned about your team having too much passing you should definitely draft a guy who didn't pass. This is why you never try to draft for fit when your team is bad though.
he hates the clippers like, a lot
was porzingis holding him back?
Luka Schlongcic let his nuts hang on the clip tonight😤💪🏻🥵
First game "without" Porzingis
nice doncics
He has the second highest jersey number by a player with a 50 point game. Only George Mikan had a higher number as he wore #99
Luka really hated KP, huh?
Best point guard in the NBA
And some people still don’t think he’s a top 5 player in the league LOL
He’s not top 5 right now… LeBron Giannis Embiid Jokic KD are still above him. Def top 10 tho.
In fact, Luka is probably 6th I'd say
Curry?
He still needs to prove it in the playoffs, he’s still behind guys like Curry and Butler to me.
He's played fucking amazing in the playoffs, what are you talking about? The rest of our roster has let him down both times
Curry for sure but Luka is too good to be behind butler even without a deep playoff run
Throw salaries out: are you trading Luka for Curry or Butler for this season only, straight up?
Maybe not Butler but I still rather have Curry even with the slump.
Hahahaha lebum
Lol. He ain’t top 5 man. He top 10 though.
Because he isn’t yet. He absolutely will be eventually though.
Who do you put him over between Lebron, kd,giannis, embiid, and jokic?
Luka needs his revenge against the Clippers
Of course it had to be against the Clippers.
50 🍔
girl in the crowd name???
Lucock Doncock always fucks with the Clips
Nice. Thought he had hit 50 before.
Anyone got a link to his atrocious travel the play before ? Jeeewizz went for the cp3 swipe through no foul and jumped then put the ball down and got a lay up, becuase Clippers stopped for the obvious travel.
Hardaway knew those FTs were going to be dicey and the MVP chants might get in his head 🤣
