Another no-look pass?

Luka has definitely made some good progress with the weight loss. Good on him.

Luka looks like he’s playing drunk out there. Swerving all over the court.

Does Eurobasketball have anything like the All-Star game? I mean all players don't take the All-Star game too seriously, but Luka seems to scorn the meaningless exhibition at a whole other level.


I think he'd play harder in a pick-up game against these same guys than he does all-star weekend.

I guess we can put Luka in the Dirk "I don´t care about the all star game" category. Once again only scored 8pts (just like in the previous two). Only had 6 FGA attempts. Must be a euro thing. Jokic is even worse. His 4th all star game but even as a starter he only had 5 FGA.

Night and day difference vs how he looked early in the season.

If it's anything like what Luka showed singing wonderwall then I think Jokic is doing him a favor not elaborating.

That was pretty cool seeing MJ and Luka.   MJ will always be my #1 of all time, with Lebron second.  But it is amazing how MJ almost has a mythical presence even when he is with all the other greats.

It was expected MJ wouldn't make it because he was at Daytona 500 watching his team race. But he hopped on his private jet, and made it just in time to be introduced last. All the greats stopped what they were doing and just stared when he walked in the room. That's reverence...

Luka definitely looking more fit (fitter?).

I have to say that some of the older players have been in training for this event as well. I know MJ was getting kind of hefty not too long ago. Shaq seems trimmer as well.

I have to wonder though, how many of these guys will make the top 100 in 25 years? I wonder how memories of Westbrook, Harden and Wade will age after their peer groups retire. Especially those who never win a title.

They aren´t replacing members. Or at least they didn´t this time. All top 50 guys are in. They just added 25 players. Nice way to honor all time greats but the list is terrible. Crazy recency bias. Rewarding fan favorites. Not the best players.
AD, Lillard and Melo...no Howard? No way to justify this. Popular role players like Rodman make the list. Better players with less rings don´t.

I don't love these type of comments by Cuban, whether they're true or not. What is the point of telling the media that Luka "finally" realizes that there is discipline involved in his job?
