One of Us: Luka Doncic just admitted what we’re all thinking about the NBA right now

Luka Doncic is easily one of my favorite players in the entire league. He is one of the few guys on the planet actually capable of carrying the torch once we finally move past the LeBron, Curry, KD era.

The best part about Luka Doncic isn’t even the basketball. It’s that he is unintentionally hilarious all the time.

Case in point. Before the Lakers’ matchup with the Raptors, someone asked Luka for his thoughts on Toronto. He basically admitted he has no idea what the Raptors are doing because he doesn’t watch the NBA and honestly… respect.

His response: “Honestly, I'm not watching much of the NBA, I'm sorry.”

Unfortunately, Europeans Stay Winning

Luka Doncic is still relatively new to America, but he really gets it. There is something undeniably charming about goofy European NBA stars. They always look like they just rolled out of bed, grabbed a bagel, and stumbled into 35 points, 12 assists, and a triple-double.

Especially Luka. This is the same guy who had his soul ripped out when Nico Harrison shipped him out of Dallas last year. Since then, he has been torching the league in purple and gold and making everyone who doubted his conditioning look like total idiots.

Luka Doncic is playing MVP-level basketball while also casually admitting he doesn’t bother watching the product his league is selling.

Honestly, iconic behavior.

I Don’t Mean to Trash the NBA Completely… But

It’s football season. Nobody on earth is choosing Raptors-Lakers in December over Cowboys-Lions on Thursday Night Football. No one. You could give out free beer with every made basket and people would still pick the NFL ten times out of ten.

Yet Adam Silver sits around acting confused about why fans tune out every winter like it’s a mystery worthy of a Netflix documentary. Let me help.

The NBA regular season has turned into a three-hour free throw tutorial. Refs are calling fouls like they get a bonus for every whistle.

Everyone shoots 45 threes a night because taking an 18-foot jumper now requires government clearance. Defense is optional. Star players are load managing like they are saving PTO days for the holidays.

Instead of fixing the product, Silver gave us a gimmicky in-season tournament with courts that look like a Skittles commercial.

It’s exhausting, it’s predictable and most nights, it is background noise.

But There Is Good News

Believe it or not, the NBA actually looks better this year. The competition feels a little tighter. The stars are playing more. The games are at least starting to resemble basketball again.

So when we hit mid-February and football disappears from our lives, I do genuinely believe the NBA will be worth dialing into. I’ll be watching. Luka Doncic might even start watching too.

Until then, I fully support the king of Dallas-now-LA keeping the NBA on the same screen where most of America has it. It’s the muted third TV in the man cave while football runs the show.
