Ja Morant's highlights are absolutely incredible.

Not only that, but he's having a great rookie season: 18.9 PPG / 3.4 REB / 6 AST / 41.7% 3P FG

He's probably going to get ROY.

OK. ESPN Weekly rankings looking better with Celtics in 2nd behind you know who. They're not ready to jump ship just yet!

Ja is only going to get more wins for Memphis. We are going to bv get the 7 to 9 pick and have to make the best of it.

by **cowens/oldschool** Tue Nov 19, 2019 9:01 am

Ja already had an early game where he torched Kyrie. Kyrie besides being an entitled me baller, is also injury prone, as he is still young, but always needs time off....

His career will be similar to Deron Williams, he screwed over a franchise, the Jazz. Kyrie has screwed over 2. He will have certain big nights, but it won’t be enough as he’s not that athletic and he’s not durable at all. So glad he’s gone, he wasn’t worthy of wearing the green.

Ditto.

A monster night by Luka. His step back 3 is as good as Kemba's and his floor general skills are better, MUCH better.

I really enjoy watching this kid play. He's one of the most solid, all-round good basketball players I've seen since Larry Legend. Slow, undersized and unathletic like Larry but still able to get to where he wants to go and knows where all his teammates are. There isn't a chance of a snowflake in Hell of Cuban letting him get away. We will only be able to watch him from a distance.

42 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists over a Pop team.

He may not be allowed to leave the State of Texas ever. Home games only.

worcester,

Trump up some charges against him in Massachusetts. Have him extradited from Texas and work out a deal where he can play for the Celtics on some kind of work release program.

Always with the good ideas Bob.

He will be the best Euro player ever before he is finished.

by **worcester** Tue Nov 19, 2019 12:39 pm

Even better than Darko?

He certainly has a chance. Dirk played 21 years. The Greek Freak also has a chance to claim that designation depending on the longevity and productivity of his career.

Also does defense count?

Yes and no. Bird was not a star on defense but he found ways to be effective. Worst case scenario is he is like 80% of the rest of the league on defense. One quarter tonight, 22 points 5 rebs, and 5 assist and just started second quarter. With 3 pointers on the uptake a lot of those scoring records will fall with injuries to guys. Look at Harden, Westbrook averaging a triple double for 3 years. All these stats are getting inflated with the style change and lack of defense. Just my opinion.

Just 20 years old as well. Nearly 2000 points already.

by **bobc33** Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:12 pm

Larry was 23 his rookie season. Wonder how good Luka will be in 3 more years? The cat is unbelievable.

by **bobheckler** Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:25 pm

Mavs trouncing GSW in Dallas. 4:30 left in the 3rd and Luka has 35 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. 11-18, 6-10 from 3. All in just 25 minutes so far.

Sheesh!

Tell me you wouldn't trade Jaylen or Tatum for Luka. I love both those guys but I'd sprain my dialing finger calling Cuban to make that deal.

by **bobc33** Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:27 pm

Bob Id consider trading both of them plus the Memphis pick for Luka!

by **tardust** Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:45 pm

Luka fewest minutes in NBA history to record a triple double. Not playing the fourth quarter. Earlier they said he was the 4th or5th leading rebounder all time for a player his age, trailing Shaq and 2 or 3 others. Don't remember the names.

Brooklyn winning again without you know who. Very Happy

Yeah, this is getting hilarious with Brooklyn sans Kyrie. It really is uncanny....Oh Well!
