I am! Anyone who actually reads my stuff knows that.
1) I pushed for Luka BEFORE he was drafted and was THRILLED the Mavs traded for him as I was convinced he was the best player in the draft.
2) I created the damn "Halleluka" thread and have probably made 75% of its posts.
3) He is my favorite player on the Mavs (and in the NBA) right now.
4) BUT I am a Mavs fan before I am a Luka fan. I was a Mavs fan BEFORE Luka was born.
5) Luka is the most talented player on the team (probably the most talented player I have ever seen in 40 years of following the NBA, other than MJ). Because of that I am going to hold him to the highest standard and especially point out where I think he is wasting his talent (being one of the most immature players I have ever rooted for and a player who is squandering more of his talent than I anyone I have ever rooted for).
