It's a huge part of the job and of course even harder in the offseason. But I do think Luka understands now and we will see if he has the drive to be one of the greats of all time. He certainly has the opportunity, but longevity plays a big part in those names and careers remembered most.
The funny thing is, we all know that Luka's idol is Lebron. I would imagine that he has to have some idea of Lebron's insane work ethic. Say what you will about Lebron, but the dude has never once in his career slacked off in terms of his conditioning.

Yea LeBron is going to top a lot of all time leaderboards with his high level of play for so long. The guy is a once in a lifetime player but does get shitted on frequently, though I cannot say it's not to his own doings some of the times.

"All the people that were rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day, they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal. But they have to get back to the real world at some point." -Lebron James

Elitist mentality at its finest. Here's to hoping my "real world" involves yet another failed roster build by Bron Bron.
