To me it means that we‘re in for 1,000+ games over the next 13-17 years of basketball brilliance, boyish swagger, bearing witness to some of the most spectacular passes, a level of control over the game that is perhaps unheard of, ever-more deadly stepbacks, literally hundreds of moments of supreme clutchness, Luka developing his game to add additional artistry, and all of that accompanied by such a likeable, humble, and authentic personality. Luka plays with such joy and is truly a joy to watch. Just incredible. Competitiveness at its finest. All of that is of course barring injuries and on the very reasonable assumption that Luka‘s game will age really well.
As a basketball fan, and a European, I couldn’t ask for anything else. What it means for Dallas will ultimately depend on whether he follows in Dirk‘s footsteps and decides to stay in Dallas for the long haul. I have my doubts; Luka seems to cherish the limelight.
Having said this, I do think that the coronation is a long way off, as it should. Let him prove himself in the playoffs first and face true adversity. When it comes to roster building, I‘d also suggest patience so as not to mess with what is currently budding.
