He's never missed 20 games even once. 10 his first year, 14 his second, 6 his third. He's got a chance at missing 20 this year. Unsure how many of the games missed are because of injury and how many were "load management" that so many teams like doing these days.

So very true. An Eddie Yost card just sold for $2500 on ebay. How does that make any sense when you can get a Wade Boggs rookie for $20?

Stop the insanity!

Aside from the obvious supply and demand explanation, it's simple. The same reason Rocket Lab's stock has been going crazy lately - speculation. While you may think Luka has done "nothing", he won ROTY and has been All-NBA 1st team every year since. The list of people to have done that is very small. Maybe just Duncan? I know LeBron and MJ didn't - they also didn't win a ring until they were 27 so there's a lot of time for Luka to add to his resume.

He also carried a mediocre team to the NBA Finals last year.
