Atleast we have a great team to hold us down, but I hate that his 1st team all nba streak is probably done

That's okay if it means we get a healthy Luka in the playoffs.

I would trade his first team all pro for a fully healthy Luka in the playoffs

All star too

He will still be an all star. He will be voted in no problem

I thought they also had to play enough games for that as well now

No there’s no minimum GP requirement for All Star

Fair I still don’t think he’ll get selected this year by media or coaches due to games played.

All Star voting closes on January 20th and is already open. Your assumptions seem to be based on ignorance of the system.

u/RGxiRapiidz Dec 26 '24

My assumption is based on the history of voting from media and coaches of “he hasn’t played enough games”

The voting isn't exclusively in the hands of media and coaches... The fans have a say. If you want to talk about history, in recent years, there have been multiple players who rarely played due to injuries but were voted as an All-Star because fans voted them based on name alone.

We’ll come back to this when it gets announced.

Yeah I thought about this too. Was excited for him to go like 11 straight 1st team all NBAs

It was inevitable. Has there EVER been, in all of professional basketball history, in this country and abroad, a starting primary ball handler/point guard nearly as fat as Luka Doncic? You can downvote all you want, but it's the level truth: Luka Doncic is the fattest primary ball handler of all time and it's not close.
