SL Game 2: DAL vs SA @ 3:00cst on ESPN

[Chicagojk]

What really blows my mind is that the day he starts the NBA regular season should've been his freshman college basketball career. 

He is so poised out there both on and off the court. It's jarring truly.

I love his demeanor on the court.   Plays with passion but without all the BS complaining.  I hope the NBA doesn't change him.  Maybe not having an owner who tries to blame everything on the refs is a benefit as well.

I think there are going to be plenty of challenges.  Maybe especially on finding and getting to his spots on offense.  It is exciting of him putting in the work the next few years on what are his spots and how he gets to them.   It was always a fun journey watching Dirk and Luka get there.  Luka much faster than Dirk.

I also really hope Mark is laying the groundwork of a Dirk and Cooper mentorship.  Even if it wasn't tied to the Mavs organization.  I think they could really have a good relationship while not being Mavs specific.   I would love to see that relationship build.
