There are several reasons why the Dallas Mavericks decided to trade Luka Donsic, the main one of them seems to be ridiculous concerns about the little things. One of the big obsessions of Mavs GM Nico Harrison was that Don Sic loved beer and smoking hookah.
This is from a new report by Athleticsdetailing Dallas' decision to trade Luka and their motivations behind it.
“They're referring to social habits reported by athletics – such as the taste of beer and holly sales, an NBA-type concern that he was a 19-year-old star. real madrid Who was in the draft? ”
Don Sic's love for beer and hookah, combined with the common sense of “lazyness” surrounding him, the Mavericks decided to trade for their best player, the brightest future stars.
Couched in this revelation is a very realistic discussion of athletes' perceptions and expectations. Certainly, we can imagine a world where players are placed on a pedestal and they don't drink, don't smoke, say prayers and take vitamins. But it's a fantasy, a fairy tale. Keep professional athletes in the standard Not anyone People who enjoy life, especially young people, enjoy their own lives, and have wealth to travel around the world as little or no one has.
Point presence: If Luka Donsic can drop a triple double on a certain night, lead the team to the NBA Finals, if he can become one of the 15 players in NBA history, if he can score 70 points in the game, and if he is handing over someone smoking a drink in his free time to public? Who can give the rat ass?
That's exactly what Sam Amick points out in his work.
“It was for all the elite players, for things like Allen Iverson, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Bill Walton and Larry Bird. That list is definitely long, and few people can meet the kind of standards set by Bryant and his idol, Michael Jordan (who had his own off-court issues).”
If Nico Harrison had been trying to hold a pearl in a beer drinking or smoking hookah, he would have not survived 15 seconds of organizations in the '70s or '80s. Michael Jordan smoked cigars and gambled all the time, Larry Bird drank a lot at the bar he went into the bar fight – and my god if you want to, and my god touch At showtime Lakers – Kareem smokes more grass than the soccer field, so he could hardly do the amount of cocaine at the team party, and the players were out to practice and dribbling basketball.
No one says these behaviors are healthy and far from them, but don't be bullish enough to get all the haffies when Luca publicly has some beer or smokes hookahs with her friends. Hell, the more everything else disappears into oblivion, the stronger argument can be made from a mental standpoint that it is infinitely healthy than in the heart of basketball.
Is there any area where Luka can mature? absolutely. He is also 25 years old, and does anyone in his mid-20s tend to be less mature? surely. This is now enduring the Mavericks' cross, and no matter how frightening trade they tried to justify, they made a huge mistake.
