I appreciate both of your insights. I had no idea there was a zebra conspiracy to make Luka look good. Are there others too on the referees' player improvement list? Please keep us informed as this develops, it could be big.

LOL, that is hilarious. All sports have had the free pass players and it is a pretty long list. it just depends if you like that player or if they are on your favorite team if you care or "see" it. For me the best part is the excuses people make for those players not getting special treatment when it is beyond obvious they are.

I have no comment on Luka because I haven't watched basketball in years.

To me, the NBA has been rigged for years. Certain players (usually with big shoe contracts) get calls (or not) that other players do (or don't).

Doncic carried the ball once last night and the refs didn't call it. Later, he carried the ball again and was caught. He cried almost as much as LeBron cries. Later, he walked and the refs didn't call it.

Three obvious travelling violations and only one is called and Doncic cried about it.

This is why I don't watch any NBA games other than when the Pacers are playing.

That's one of the things I strongly dislike about Doncic–he complains constantly despite being given the superstar treatment from the refs. At least LeBron and Steph Curry have earned it by being great for an extended period...

Thats been the case forever. Look at the last last shot Jordan took against Utah--he basically shoved the defender to the ground (watch the hand on the hip) to clear his shot. Anyone not named "Jordan" gets a whistle.

I swear McHale walked every time he got the ball in the low post. Looks like Jordan also takes a shuffle step to the left after he stopped dribbling?

It's called a "gather", and it's allowed.

That's true. I got the postcard a few days later.

The palming is ridiculous as well, but never gets called.

Default Saw one!
I saw one of these rare cards at the mall show in Portland yesterday.
A collector buddy who deals with these high end shiny basketball had just made a big acquisition. Some Blue Prizm sumthin that he said was worth 20k.

So I asked him about Doncic and he did say that Luca was the best player in the league. And the potential to be an all-time great as long as he didn’t get hurt.

I wonder if he had an incentive to say that…considering what he was holding.

But I did explain that my collection of old baseball cards features guys that don’t have to worry about a knee or Achilles injury, since they are already dead.

This is exactly why I transitioned to vintage.
These younger and current players could lose value overnight by an injury, some political whatever, beating their spouse/ significant other, dog fighting etc..no bueno.

I’m sticking to the “real estate “ from now on.
