Is this already a thing? Have people already made this connection, and I'm like, half a decade late? 

Watching last night's highlights for the 8th time, I think... 


-I'm gonna hit the brakes, he'll fly right by. 

-Hey, that's cool, Luka should have a Top Gun nickname. 

-What was Tom Cruise's name... 

-OH! Right!!! 

-MAVERICK!! 

-Luka IS MAVERICK!!!

Who is Goose?
Also important, who is Aaron and Adam Weis?

Maybe in a couple of years his nickname should be “Piston”.

I know, right! 

I looked for a short clip of Luka hitting the brakes and a defender flying right by, but I couldn't find one. They're all in longer videos. I had any video clip making savvy I would have made that to add to the post.

DFS was Goose. I still mourn the loss.  Cry

Maybe DLive is the new Goose. Or maybe the original Goose was just transferred to another unit, but he'll come back at some point.  Smile

Is that from the remake that I haven't seen?

Lively is definitely Rooster from the new sequel. DFS being goose makes too much sense as we all still mourn the loss Sad

Also, you definitely need to see the new sequel. 

Do these count as hitting the brakes?

Maverick nickname needs to make an appearance this postseason.

The Mavs need a jumbo-tron production that shows off Luka's deceleration, with defenders flying right by, and mixed with top gun footage.

Make it so Cubes!
