    Watch Cuban immediately sign Morey after Fertitta fires him.

    Luka is 4th in drives per game, but only 19th in free throw attempts. Before Toronto's game yesterday, he was 2nd in drives and 42th in FTAs.

    Harden is obviously first in both.

    I can't fathom how smaller players like Trae Young or De'Aaron Fox, who avoid too much contact on their drives, get more FTAs than Luka. Luka is big, strong and has excellent balance, so he finishes his drives with lots of contact.

    Luka would challenge Morey in table tennis that is how competitive he is.

    Usually, the stronger/bigger guys get a double-standards treatment from the refs. Since they can absorb more contact, the refs less often call fouls on their opponents. The prime example is Boban Marjanovic. You watch a lot of Dallas games, so I would recommend watching Boban more closely (even when he doesn't have the ball). He gets pushed, hammered etc. but relatively rarely draws fouls. Boban's defenders get away with murder... I think similar logic could be applied to Doncic. Refs see him maintain his balance more easily than other players would in same situations, and they just assume the fouls weren't fouls at all.
