    And the majority of fans can relate to him more easily.

    I thought steph curry was the epitome of being great due to exceptional skill despite a lack of physical gifts... but what Luka is doing this season is crazy & eye opening. (note: very limited sample size)

    Never thought that a pudgy 6-7 20year old with below average speed, jumping ability, first step, lateral movement and size, could be avg 30/10/10 on 63% TS.

    KP hasn't even been used in PnR yet, to the confusion of everyone

    An Atlanta team/franchise came through in the clutch, once again.

    But that option is there. Regardless, my point is that Luka has a loooot of options available for him when it comes down to his teammates, whether is PnR, PnP etc.

    I don't really think its that confusing. KP while really talented is severely lacking a couple traditional big men skills - namely the ability to set good screens and the knack/drive for rolling hard to the basket. Also he is understandably rusty from 20 months of recovery.

    True.

    I haven't watched much of him, but the comments seem his play-style is more likeable too.

    This crap makes '18 hurt worse.

    Yes understand and agree. Pointed it out because that could be a huge boost to his stats were KP to start doing it

    Also, fwiw... Luka is more appreciated elsewhere than he is in Dallas. Not that he isn't, but they don't seem to get just how good he is yet.

    Gifted with the combined skills of Moochie Norris, Isiah Taylor, and Pablo Prigioni, the body of Maurice Taylor, and the hype of Jeremy Lin.

    Obligatory, Mavs suck.

    He's more like Harden. Minus some athleticism and plus some basketball IQ.

    That's like 90% of Clutchfans users.

    Is that supposed to impress me?

    This is honestly the image I have of you. I know intellect is not a strength, but can you at least try to provide something useful to the discussion.

    I'm really devastated. An adult sharing a worthless meme to support some Euro bum who you identify with

    Ah another Maverick to hate *grin* - The New Dirk . .. love to hate them . .. though we don't hate them
    Seriously he is Harden minus the Beard, the Houston connection and the complexion :D
    So of course the Doris b****Burks/Networks of the world love him

    This could be the second coming of Bird.
