With Halliburton’s choke shot in the last game.

20 years ago or more that would have been considered a freakishly good / all time great shot.

While it’s still impressive by today’s standards, it’s not really that out of the ordinary in today’s game, the shooting today is just out of this world.

Naw fam. According to 90’s boomer era cans, It’s just that defense is non existent these days.

I saw videos of Luka working out in the offseason every single year he was in Dallas. He showed up to training camp tired and out of shape almost every season. To his credit, he's still better than just about anyone else even at 80%, and he plays himself into shape during the season, but yea.

I get a feeling that he’s going to take his prep to new levels this off season. The noise about his conditioning was huge and you could tell it pissed him off, and he’s super competitive.

Honestly I know jack shit about elite S and C, but hopefully he’s smashing plyometric and fascia related training, not just weights, strength isn’t an issue for him. He’s still young enough to rebuild his body to some degree if he dedicates himself enough.

He was dunking a bit in previous seasons but he hasn’t done one for ages.

Maybe your right, its hard to predict the future but hear me out. I watched Luka for 6.5 years in Dallas. What you said, literally everyone in Dallas said EVERY single year with the exception of his first 2 seasons when he was young and thin. There were pics and videos every off-season of Luka working hard and looking fit and serious. Then he comes to camp tired and often overweight.
 
Never forget that the shooting today is out of this world. Haven't seen anything like it before.

Kids are hilarious.

Here’s hoping he adapts his training, and stays consistent.

I can’t lie, his defense sucks. But he’s held up his part of bargain overall as a player, even in recent times.

Getting knocked out in the first round this year was disappointing, but he was coming off an injury, with a brand new team, no playable centre and some average ass role players. People will be reminded.
 
Flop Alert.

Got him for damn near pennies on the dollar.

Really terrible job to get max value by Toronto. He is a rare player that would fit on 90% of teams seamlessly with his versatility and skillset

EDIT: He's a fucking 2-time ALL-NBA'er for jeebus sake
