Luka currently averaging 30 pts , 11 rebounds, 9 assists at age 20

Luka's ballin but can we keep this a buck though? If you put Luka in the nba in 2000 does he average anywhere near these numbers? That's not hating that's just stating a fact. Like cats have said the game is different today. The stats are inflated and its making guys better than what they should be. You had some cat argue luka is better than 20 year old lebron? You put that Lebron in the nba today and he's easily averaging a 35+ triple double while playing 38-39 minutes a game and having limitless energy.

but its not 2000 so your statement is irrelevant

" put MJ in the 50s he would avr 100 pts"

welcome to the real world

Luka gonna go down as one of the GOATs. IDGAF how early it is. Kid has “it”

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

This thread so insulting, especially if you watch every mavs game you can tell people just want to hate. Even if luka went on to become a 5 time mvp these same people gonna julez with the league is soft.

Yes the league stat peddling but that doesn't mean you have to apply that to every talent so you can't give props when props are due. I think of stat peddling and then league being soft when a dude like Marcus Morris scores like 20 plus points not when a dude gets his 6th triple double.. When that happens I usually think "wow this guy is head above most of the league."


I don't wanna hear no argument about luka being white when people celebrates his triple doubles. Everyone has been celebrating brons triple doubles this year as well. People know damn well we acknowledge Russel Westbrook greatness but at the same time we don't care because dude gets knocked out first round every year so who cares..


Swear I don't know if you posters be trolling or just stupid enough to not analyze the context

 

[Mike18jj]

Westbrook averages a triple double for 3 years and it’s overrated and stat padding. Luka does it for 3 weeks and he’s the MVP of the league

Good point and you know why

 

[MikelArteta]

Only reason people hate Luka is because he’s White reverse

dude is mad humble and respects the elders and forefathers of the game

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Scoring is down from last season. Teams are averaging fewer PPG, APG, and lower FG%. Offensive rating is the lowest it’s been since 2016.

nikkas just get mad when they see superior modern players surpassing all the overrated dudes you grew up watching.

And no, bum ass Kobe isn’t doing shyt in today’s NBA

It's a month into the season you fukking idiot, stats are always down at the beginning of the year.

 

[NZA]

it's one thing to say that the era is stat padded, it's another thing to say this dude is not even good. if he isnt good then you should seriously stop watching the NBA because that means the whole product is absolute trash.

 

[Houston911]

Comparing Luka numbers to lebrons at the same age shows just how inflated stats are today

Luka is incredible though

 

[cartierhoe]

Dude plays like an NBA vet already, fun as hell to watch.

 

[DoubleClutch]

The thing about Luka is HE CAN SHOOT

 

[Drip Bayless]

Feel bad for dude, his back boutta be fukked up from carrying Porzingis all season

 

[ISO]

All this talk about stat inflation

15 years ago he’s still putting up 27/7/7

 

[ISO]

Y’all keep on saying inflated? Inflated in relation to what?

Your golden 00’s iso ball era?

The pace in basketball has different from decade to decade.

It’s how Wilt averaged 50. How Oscar averaged a triple double. How MJ averaged 37.

 

[NYC Rebel]

I enjoy dominance....organically. Stat padding elevates players to heights they truly dont belong in general.

And Luka is being forced???

 

[Swagnificent]

I’m a Luka hater but you gotta slow down

I'm no hater. If he can play I give the guy his due.

This guy is not good. He's just a short Kevin Love. His numbers are not a reflection of his talent. They are fraudulent.
