My layman’s take on Luka based on years of field study is he’s a basketball savant who developed a killer instinct while hooping against grown men. While it no doubt accelerated his growth, it also probably contributed to the deferred adolescence we’ve witnessed when it comes to taking care of himself.

Over the past few months, the Dallas Mavericks and their fans have been reeling from one of the most shocking trades in league history. Since trading Luka Doncic in early February, not much has gone the Mavericks’ way.
