Whats going on with luka? Looks slow and out of shape

[O.T.I.S.]

@staticshock we byke

they had the Nets last night too.

I watched that game too

shyt was such a good game... was texting my boy about it and he was like “Kyrie just did Kyrie things”.

ATL got next tho... I’m paying attention

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I don't hate Luka. Hes a phenomenal young player. I just don't like the hate Trae and the hawks get from his dikksuckers. There should be no talk of who won or lost that trade anymore. fukk what the media says, they are comparable talents. And even if you want to give the slight edge to Luka, we got back a whole Cam Reddish too. And I'd bet good money Cam will be at least a multiple year allstar

Cam looks much more comfortable than he did last season I will say that.

His defense and shooting is right there... just an inch closer in both areas

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Imagine if Luka had Kobe as a teammate. The ether he would be enduring everyday for being out of shape.

Nah Luka would probably be one of the most skilled nikkas Kobe ever played with... i think he would give him time to get it together

but Kobe would be on some if they was 1-3 and Luka was bombing out there like yesterday

 

[FS4LFE]

did he touch you inappropriately?

I wish he’d touch me.

 

[duckbutta]

I think Luka is overrated but that mavs team around him isn't that good

 

[O.T.I.S.]

yeah Luka is a phenomenal talent, but Trae is just as good and both are franchise cornerstones

need Luka to get himself in shape so we can see both of these young budding superstars show out

Yeah point is, Trae came ready... was out there training with Kyrie in the offseason trying to get better...

Luka tho

That says a lot... fukk a Sloveninian National team

He is a great player and so is jokic. Even out of shape great players play themselves into shape. Like Shaq and Barkley often did in their careers. No biggy...but the issue that folks on here are talking about is how players like Jokic and luka don't get that out of shape heat from the media that black players get.

I just mentioned on here last week how dirk had to be sit down for a number of games the season after winning a championship. Cause his ass didn't work out in the offseason, came to camp out of shape with bad conditioning. Also being out of shape caused him to injure his knee that season.

As I said then, last week and now. Can you imagine the media shyt storm if a black HOF, champion winning player came into the next season to defend their teams title out of shapeb and so out of shape the head coach has to bench them for multiple games? The media would talk about it nonstop and talk about into their post career...cough cough IE Shaq.

I feel you. The media has way more heat for Embiid being out of shape than they do for Luka and Jokic when he did it.

The whole Luka /Trae trade "winner" is all dependent on Cam.

Church.

Shaq somewhat got a pass for it way too much for my liking. That and other questionable shyt he did/said in his career. When the media likes you they turn a blind eye to a lot of shyt.

Peyton skating on that HGH shyt was straight

 

[AAKing23]

Ony certain players get called out about this type of stuff if you get my drift

Here is the thing shaq been retired for almost a decade and they still bring up him being out of shape. Any discussion on him and its brought up time and time again.

Its like Vick and the dog fighting, lebron and the decision, tiger and the cheating, bonds and the steriods, isiah and the not shaking hands. These kats will be retired for decades and mothafukkas in the media will still bring it up. It never ever dies when its a black athlete. The shyt follows your to your grave.

Black athletes no matter how good they are are judged by their worst attributes and white athletes no matter how bad they are are judged on their best attributes.

Speaking of peyton on HGH never forget that Roger Clemens like Peyton both used their wives to fall on the sword of their supposed drug abuse and no one said shyt.

But hey whats there to complain about Peyton "nuts in your female trainer face" peyton is just having fun out there.

 

[Loose]

Looks out of shape but coli mad reactionary. Honestly find this sites sports takes to be among some of the worst. Player have a random variance of a few bad games " they fell off " " choked" etc. Some of these takes from people in they late 30s-40s

Real talk whether you like the hawks or not. They deserve a super star player. Its been years since they had a superstar player. I would argue they ain't had a super star player since domique got traded to the clippers.

He's probably just out of shape, which is kinda surprising since he was just in the bubble. You would expect the out of shape players to be players on teams that haven't played since March. On flip side, while Luka being a pro since age 15 explains his advanced development, people don't talk about the mileage on his body. He probably has the body of an average 27 year old pro. He may be a shell of himself by 30.

True...

I just think he partied a lil bit but just couldn’t get back in shape quick enough

Might be like that for a lot of people. Might need a month or 2 but this condensed schedule either gonna make you in shape quicker or injure you if you not
