By comparison, Bird won his 3rd MVP in his 7th season, and in his 1st 9 seasons he was never lower than 4th (including 3 wins, and 4 2nds). FWIW he also made 3 All-Defense teams and finished as high as 3rd for DPOY one year. No one ever bitched about Bird's conditioning - far from it. Bird averaged over 3000 minutes per season for his first 9 seasons, averaging about 80 games per season and about 39 mpg, while playing at that MVP level.
If Luka is going to have that kind of career, he's way behind.
Thanks for popping this in here. I'm doing corrections all morning now. lol. It was late, I was tired...No one complained about Larry's conditioning.
Find me at Lakersball.com. I'm done with the Nico and the Mavs.
