AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

[fifteenth]

LeBron used to be the best on the planet and he never dribbled the air out of the ball for 20 seconds a possession like Luka did for at least 3 full seasons(19/20, 20/21, 21/22).

Its not a fun style of basketball if employed for a majority of the regular season. 

Luka doesn't dribble the air out of the ball. I think "dribbling the air out of the ball" refers to dribbling aimlessly with no real plan. It involves waisted dribbles due to lack of skill and basketball IQ.  

Luka uses the dribble to create mismatches to exploit, for himself and his team. I think he's efficient. Not many of those dribbles are waisted, in my opinion. Each dribble is a chess move. 

I'm going to ask an honest question. I'm genuinely curious. I'm not using the question to suggest anything at all. 

Why are you a Mavs fan? Live in the metroplex? Watched Dirk's career and stuck around? Initially liked watching Luka? Heard about this cool little message board and found out they all like the Mavs?
