They're going to give Luka a championship before making Lebron the GOAT

That way all the best International players are taking care of before Lebron wins the next 2 or 3 titles.

I think Silver wants to push Ant more than Luka.

This.

It's like 2006 Wade when they tried to make him the next Jordan. They didn't help or promote dirk aka Luka at all. Gave the Heat like 100 more FTs.

This is like a poor man’s version of a JohnMax thread.

But finally, in the NBA’s 77th season, it seems we have reached an era of something close to true parity. It doesn’t appear to be a fluke, either. The way the league is set up, it’s far more likely that the next several years will see a churn of teams contend for titles rather than a stretch like 2011 to 2018 when only two franchises from the Eastern Conference and four from the West made the Finals.

It's sad the NBA is pushing the DEI narrative rather than what will bring the league more profits. Pushing Luka and Jokic will bring white fans back to the NBA, which would be a financial BOON since whites spend more on tickets and merchandise than blacks and filipinos.

Notice the years between a European led championship team keeps getting shorter

2011 Dirk Nowitzki
2021 Giannis Antetokounmpo
2023 Nikola Jokic

Mavericks have a real roster finally.
They don’t need anyone to ‘give’ them anything.
Might fk around and beat an overrated 95% Tatum, an 100% Brown, and 80% Porzingis.

We all seen them revoke KAT's put back the way they did...

Cs have some glaring issues at the 5 and they don't really have any depth. 37 y.o Horford played 40 minutes while getting cooked on D all game while giving them next to nothing on O. Once Zingis returns at like 70-80% health Horford might be cooked from all the minutes they're putting on him in the mean time. Mavs can go 10 deep and would likely have Kleber back for the Finals.

No one's thinking about Lebron right now.

All these guys on Lebron's watch.
