Well, they were only 15 years apart, but…
No, Luka’s defense isn’t as good as young LeBron’s, but he wasn’t putting up these stats as empty calories on bad teams. Already two western conference finals appearances and one finals appearance.
You guys are too caught up in the “he doesn’t play defense” talking point if you are underplaying Luka’s value right now as a 25 year old superstar.
Completely anecdotal, but I split 4 tickets with a group of 10 friends and to a man we’ve all said we are done today. Doesn’t help that the new owners have been jacking up the price every year and a few of us were getting disillusioned anyway.
Maybe after the shock wears off and if we play well with AD some of them will reconsider, but I think I’m done. Only way I get tickets is if they cut the price by like 50% (lol) and I can go to games to mainly check out other teams/players I want to see.
Losing guys like Niblett is the toughest part of the transfer portal to me and is probably what is going to pushing cfb towards increased parity. It’s just hard to build truly elite teams when you are losing good depth who are given a chance to develop.
Not really in playing style, but his development path is sort of like guys like Chris Ogbonnaya. Good culture fit, special teams and role player first few years but works his way on the field a little more every season. In this era, he probably transfers to Miss State after his sophomore year.
I understand why it probably makes sense for Niblett to pursue more immediate opportunities in the portal, but it sucks.
Some Netflix series the production company that does “Drive to Survive” and “Full Swing” is doing. Could be good, but I get why we opted out
