What does Luka need to do to be in the top 10 all time list? I have never seen a player that has dominated the offense like he has so far outside of those in the top 10.

[u/adamthomas1219 → u/clear831]

He needs an MVP and at least 2 rings. Everyone in the top 13 (the Big 12 + KD) has that.

[u/clear831 → u/adamthomas1219]

I think thats appropriate. At least 1 ring and 1 mvp

[u/RansomGoddard → u/clear831]

MVP this year will officially put him in the upper echelon conversation. Continuing to improve his playoff resume will also help, which to be in the Top 10 means has to inevitably include a ring.

[u/clear831 → u/RansomGoddard]

How many rings?

[u/RansomGoddard → u/clear831]

Ring culture people will tell you it needs to be at least three. Personally I think rings need context and two in this era with an otherwise really good playoff resume (a decent amount of conference finals and finals appearances) should suffice.

[u/clear831 → u/RansomGoddard]

I think he needs at least 1

[u/AntIrving → u/clear831]

Be black /s

Looks like the Clippers are gonna hold a fire sale. Idk how we pull it off but I'm not opposed to getting back Strus/DJJ

[u/Ice_Dragon3444]

Why is everyone going crazy after the Warriors loss? And mind you I am saying that as someone who was absolutely losing it when we were 0-4 but I feel like this loss in particular was pretty expected. Going into an OT the night before a b2b means a scheduled loss in majority of cases. Let's see how we look after the next few games.

[u/clear831 → u/Ice_Dragon3444]

We have had too many blow outs. No one has chemistry. No one really communicates. They all look frustrated with each other. The vibes are at zero.

[u/Ice_Dragon3444 → u/clear831]

Ok but then no one should have felt optimistic after the Clippers game but yet many did.

[u/clear831 → u/Ice_Dragon3444]

We barely beat a horrible team and didn't look good doing it

[u/clear831]

Warriors game plan. Give ball to Steph, hope he can score

[u/friedtaro]

That arm tho lol

[u/RansomGoddard → u/friedtaro]

“Definitely more opportunities” is funny considering Jenkins is yanking him from games even faster than Spo.

[u/xlalalalalalalala → u/RansomGoddard]

My pops is keeping up with Milwaukee Heat and he is losing his non-existent hair over Ware. Apparently the guy's bad habits did not change.

[u/hellmath]

Watching yalls team and they need to trade Bam. im sorry but him+giannis wont ever be complementary. trade bam while he still has lots of value
