Did Giannis die?
About 20 minutes ago, yes.

Luka laid him to rest.

Give me Luka over Giannis, with no hesitation.

Seems like an overreaction

it is. Luka is very great but he still is not even a good 3 point shooter and his free throws are avg.. he's also an avg defender.

Giannis averaged 30/14/6. Luka is definitely closing the gap insanely quick though.

Even if he’s not “yet” the best player, he’s certainly on his way....and yet corporate America barely notices him. The Average American has no idea who he is. This says everything about our current society. Hopefully that changes....the NBA should be promoting him nonstop if they were smart.

That as well. Luka is amazing but let's pump the brakes a tad. His time is coming very soon.

I'm more interested in a Luka vs Hardwn debate.

I just don't think he is or will be that reliable guy at the end of games on an alltime/elite type level like Luka will be.

That trumps so much IMO.

ETA: I'll put it this way. I have zero concern with Luka's ability to be a closer on an all time level, while I have concerns about Giannis's ability to be a closer...in general.

Let's also take a minute to laugh at Atlanta for drafting him & trading him to Dallas for Trey Young & 1st.

And you're even dumber than that if you have more concerns about Luka's shot than Giannis, so there's that.

Everyone knows Harden is a poor man's Luka.

Luka is Harden without all the flopping and pandering to refs.

Just watched the replay of the shot and that step back is so much a walking call in the NBA of the past.

Agreed, Luka is what Harden could be if he didn’t play like a bitch.

Also, Luka’s shot is way better than Giannis’. Just look at their shot selection. Giannis shoots because he’s left wide open, Luka has to create space to get his shot off.

I love the kid, but the mavs were 25 points per 100 possessions better when luk was on the bench v when he is playing in the series coming into Today. That will change a little with today’s game, but over the 4 games played so far, Dallas has been much better with luk on the bench.

Yea, that was a very weird post by that dude in a Luka/Giannis comparison.

You heard it here first guys! If the Mavs didn't play Luka, they'd probably have already swept the Clippers by now. Silly Rick Carlisle.
