Luka is a selfish player, this is something we all agree on. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, lots of great players play like this. But unlike most other players, he has forged none of the deep ties to other players they comes from being brought up together in the AAU system or blood bonds that come from college alma maters. And he's from another country. Players don't trust or know him. Especially since they were taught in history classes that he's from a region that basically started World War One.

The closest Luka will get to relationships like this are with other foreign born players. And that already is showing signs it won't work since his supposed BFF Bogdan already convinced Vlade not to draft him.

Luka can never and will never be part of a super team because of this

I like your reasoning, but there's a caveat. Kawhi just gave the Clippers a list of guys he'd play with. He wasn't friends with Paul George, he just wanted a guy who played offense and defense on the wing with him. You can say he's a special case, but when there are so few superstars, they're all special cases

I'd be pretty upset if my team messed up drafting Luka for a guy that hasn't played a season worth of games yet but other players not liking him is simply not true. If you watch enough Mavs games, you'll catch on. Examples include how LeBron/the Brow reacted when they thought he might be hurt in the last Lakers game, how any player on the Mavs last year has behaved around him this year, or when D'Lo told him "My brotha, keep ballin. MVP coming soon."

I appreciate the set up but the truth is that Slovenes are snobs who don't really want to be associated with Serbs/Croats/Albanians. They even think Slovaks are dumb hicks. As mrnoun's joke insinuated, it's sort of the Duke of the region.

They'd be much more comfortable with Germans or Baltic people, and you see this in the Mavs roster. Sabonis Doncic Porzingis superteam?? Maybe one of these young german guards of african descent will come to Dallas

Don't forget he spent his teens playing pro ball in Spain, so you could bring the next spanish star over too. There are some doors open for this hateful selfish snob (lie) (joke)

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Slovenia seems pretty cool when described to me whereas Duke does not seem like a place I'd like to live near.

It's remarkable how much the NBA and these forums in particular have destroyed our ability to interact with normal human beings.

Luka never really had a chance to fit in with other NBA players. Slovenia historically has mostly been a duchy. And when it comes to basketball, everyone hates Dukes.

omg I just realized the reason the Luka Doncic could speak Spanish at that Mexico City game was because he played in Spain. I was thinking he was just like really good with languages.
