Those look pretty sweet. He's needs his own shoe already, albeit under the Jordan brand. Logo plays much better. Need to find some bball runs so I can justify buying more bball shoes to the wife

Looks like Luka is the cover athlete for the new NBA 2k game, and Dirk is one of the cover athletes for the Legends copy (shard w/ Kareem and KD). I really want to get a copy of both, but that would be a waste of $$.

I think we need a 3rd Space Jam movie with Luka Magic as the star. Thoughts?

I was curious what the record was..

His 48 points ties Australian Ed Palubinskas (Montreal, 1976) for the second-most points ever scored in an Olympic basketball game, trailing only Brazilian Oscar Schmidt, who set the record against Spain in 1988 with 55 points.
The 22-year-old could well have broken the record after he checked out of the game with 4:35 remaining in the fourth, but he was more interested in getting the win than adding his name to the record books.

Slovenia wins over Spain 95-87
Luka made two shots (and took seven) but had 14 boards and 9 assists and picked Spain apart in the second half. Slovenia wins the group over Spain and Argentina.
Slovenia goes 3-0 in group play and will avoid the USA (and Australia and France) in the quarterfinal.
Luka is 16-0 with Slovenia.
They had 4 guys on Luka many times
And three on him most of the time.
He was in early foul trouble.
Spain had 7 NBA guys.
Spain played a box-in-one zone defense most of the game.
Luka had 9 assists and scored 12 points in 33 min.
Would have had a lot more assists if guys were hitting shots.
Ricky Rubio had 18 points to lead Spain.

Spain coach Sergio Scariolo: "This is a good team. This is not only Doncic. I am pleased about how Luka read the situation and reacted to that. He showed his class, his mental toughness, his competitivness and his understanding of what was going on."

Really impressive to come up number 1 in this group.
Crazy to see grey beard Pau still playing.

Here to tell you that if Slovenia plays USA in finals I will be cheering for team Luka all the way. I am sure the highly compensated US team will be just fine with a silver metal.

Goran Dragić was Luka Dončić roommate when they played EuroBasket 2017. Goran was asked how he slept before final game, he said: "I didn't sleep at all, then I looked left and Luka was snoring, he has that, he just doesn't feel pressure"

Well Slovenia is facing France right now and if they win, they face the U.S. for the Gold medal. Win or lose today that's a great accomplishment.

What a crazy finish to the game. I only caught the last few min, but they said Luka wasn’t shooting due to a wrist injury? Anyone have any info on if something happened?

JustJay · 08-05-2021, 08:21 AM

Couldn't find a stream to watch it myself. But just looking at stats Lukas free throwing shooting must be contagious 55% for Slovenia while France shot 84% and still only managed to win by 1 point. They should have won that game even if Luka is hurt.

France also destroyed them from the 3 point line 48% to 33%, and outrebounded them by 9 so another way to look at it is France should have won easily adding all of those 3 together. That's a bummer about Lukas wrist he would have brought it home.

Luka Doncic’s disappointment with Slovenia’s loss to France in the second Olympic Games semifinal was more than obvious in the finale with the Dallas Mavericks superstar also expressing his frustration on his way to the locker room. After the end of the game, Doncic was shouting “FIBA is probably happy” while walking through the media mixed zone per ’15min’. He was also reported to shout “FIBA happened” while Slovenia big man Ziga Dimec was being asked questions about the game.

Marc Stein: Mavs special advisor Dirk Nowitzki will join Mark Cuban, Jason Kidd, Nico Harrison and Michael Finley in Slovenia next week for Dallas to formally present Luka Doncic his five-year supermax extension in excess of $200 million, sources say.

This seems in poor taste now that they didn't medal. Even a bronze would have made for a triumphant return to Slovenia. I will bet this is called off. Furthermore I heard that he might sign a 3 plus 1 deal instead.

How is this in poor taste? I think it’s great that our leadership team is going to visit his home country. And he’s going to be like 200 million!!! Richer after their visit. He will have other opportunities to get a medal. Where did you hear the 3+1 ?

Agree!. I was totally off on that one. I very much underestimated how much the Slovenian fans and citizens valued the effort and even making it as far as they did. Thanks for the reminder. No excuses. It was a fucking moronic take on my part. I award myself no points and may god have mercy on my soul...

BPo001 · 08-07-2021, 10:14 AM

Looks like the Aussies beat Slovenia for the bronze. Luka was 1 point away from a guaranteed medal had they beaten France.

The story of the last few years. Carries inferior teams single handedly in this case because he is the only NBA caliber player in his country and on the Mavs because it is full of by definition Replacement Level Players. He is going to get mentally fried before he gets anywhere near the end of his extension.
