I dont want to derail this Luka/Jokic convo into a long drawn out race thread...
But I dont think the League wants a Luka/Jokic pairing. Arguably the two best players in basketball...whom just happen to be unathletic and white lol.
It might make for extra competitive regular season basketball games(and maybe the League knows that and would encourage the pairing)...but I just think it would put a major target on the Mavs. Every team would be gunning to beat us. An example to illustrate...Marion Barber. It got to the point where every defense was just targeting Barber. You could visibly tell that defenses were trying extra hard to lay the wood on him before he did it to them.
