Is Luka considered athletic?

[Blaze500]

do you consider him an athletic player...He just doesn't seem to be, seems to be a little chubby too, people were mocking him earlier this season thinking he came in fat

No more crafty and elusive than anything. That old man at the Y game. Use that first step and headfakes

Any dude who can play heavy minutes of full court ball for 82 games is athletic. /thread

It’s all relative to who he’s playing against. Obviously compared to other NBA Athletes he wouldn’t look all that athletic, but athleticism is more than just speed and hops. His body control, balance, and change of direction are all elite. When you look around the league today you realize the best players aren’t even all that athletic anymore. The elite players from the 2000s were way more athletic, so that’s actually interesting.

Against cats like us Luka would probably be out there doing windmills though

An average NBA athlete is Superman to regular folks.

He reminds me of Paul Pierce alot. always seems lke the slowest dude on the court and yet somehow is just able to make space and get the shot off.

Facts. nikkas on the internet are really delusional lol. You can say relative to his peers he isn’t the most explosive, but to say he’s not athletic is ridiculous

Relative to his peers, no.

Athleticism isn’t just about speed and your vertical.

Luka is strong as hell and agile with the rock in his hands. Definitely athletic but not a freak.

Relative to his peers, no.

Any man can do this with the right training in my eyes, what you can’t emulate is height and also you can’t really influence explosion and speed in the same way which is more natural, but you put an average man in the gym fives times a week his fitness would be good.
