HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

[MaxiThreeba]

I agree a lot Luka needs rest in some of the offseasons to be at his best. Of course it is very difficult to demand that from him, as it would make him unhappy. He enjoys playing above anything else. I think, this is a situation only himself can come to.

Of course, we can't really claim he came unprepared this summer. But rest is important. Season is very long.

I'm not saying he has to go Aaron Rodgers and lock himself in a dark cabin...or create the LD77 fitness/nutrition line like Tom Brady.

I am also not suggesting Luka doesn't put in the work.  You don't just roll out of bed and lead the NBA in scoring.  

I do think he needs an offseason of just being in the lab and not on the other side of the world playing nonstop basketball.  If it makes him a little unhappy to miss some national team games/tourneys, he will get over it.  Right now, he sacrifices time from his $40 million a year job...I think its perfectly okay to flip that script for a few years.
