I will concede that he isn't close to a top 10-15 value in the league because there are so many great players who are 25 and under who have a higher ceiling than him, whereas he's a 27 year old who happens to be playing the best ball of his career at the perfect time for the Kings. Like I would much rather have a guy like Garland, Halliburton or even Franz Wagner for the next 10 years even if I would rather have Sabonis right now

Dallas has won 6 straight games and Luka has scored 50 or more in three of them and shot over 55% in all three. In the six games his averages round to 42/11/10. He had ZERO TURNOVERS today and his TO average is 3.33 over the 6 games

With Dallas in 4th I think it's safe to say that all the MVP power rankings will have Jokic and Doncic as the top two ahead of Tatum now

Clear six man race with Jokic, Doncic, Tatum, Giannis, Durant, and Embiid with Zion/Morant/Mitchell as the dark horses

Yeah I think Luka is up top now, his scoring has been completely ridiculous

Probably not something he can maintain but if he comes close to keeping it rolling he'll probably be MVP

We are nearly halfway through the season and there are still six guys averaging 30 and three more averaging over 29. All except Tatum of those nine are somehow shooting over 49 or 50%. It rules

I still think he's a little overrated but the whole Suns offense is basically the guard combo of him and CP3. He's still a solid top 15-20 player easily even if his first team appearance last year was a fluke

BBR says he's been the 2nd best Warriors player and 538 says he's third behind Curry and... DiVincenzo this year. He's probably a better passer than all the Warrior guards not named Curry

my new meditation is breathing in for four seconds thinking about a tall man . how tall he is and European. then I hold my breath . then I release my breath thinking about passing. balls in the air traveling through space relative to the floor. or the basket. I then hold an empty breath

repeat. tall men passing. hold

do this and you won’t argue about basketball . on this plane it’s all tall men passing

euph magic has sabonis with 13/8/4 at half time. thank you
