Luka Doncic comes into the NBA with more hype than any other European ever has entering the league and is as accomplished as any European player entering the NBA as a reigning EuroLeague MVP at age 19 He also just happens to be starting his career as teammates with the great European basketball player in [...]

After what has been yet another wild and NBA landscape altering off-season (aren’t they all these days?) with LeBron James taking his talents to Hollywood, Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan swapping area codes, and DeMarcus Cousins giving the Warriors a starting lineup of five former all-stars, the race for the league’s most coveted individual honor [...]
