People always compare Lauri to Dirk, or he was expected to be a new Dirk coming out of Arizona. I did not understand that. I have always thought that Lauri played more like KD than anyone. People just assumed because he was white and european and tall he'd play like what was then a traditional european big. That's why Chicago and Cleveland didn't work out. SLC took the chains off him and he plays like he's about 70-80% as good as KD (which makes him an all star and better than 90% of the League)
some 30 years ago, the bad boy pistons would ABUSE a young michael jordan on the court, punishing him every single time he tried to go into the lane, "hard" foul (ie. modern flagrant foul) him whenever he takes off so he will think twice the next time or risk injuries for 2 potential points. they would play dirty to win. and all MJ could do was to shake their hands, acknowledge defeat, then go straight to the gym to put up muscle get ready for revenge next year. they were man, warriors, gladiators, the biggest respect they could give their opponent was to do whatever necessary to beat them on the court. then in the modern nba, we have players getting pay tens of millions, show up to the game, doesn't get touched once, score 45 every other nights, then hug and make love with each other, celebrating, laughing at how easy it is, and thanking god they are playing in the 2020s. fraction of the effort, 20x the money, thats the american dream.
Fraction of the effort? Lol if ur not producing, you lose your job. The NBA is wayyy more competitive and talented than it ever has been. Keep coping tho old head
You can tell Lauri really looks up to K.D.and he's such an inspiration to so many.
Respect from 2 of the best shooters in today’s nba.
Hell no u shit lying
You gotta love this. 🙂
Right🙌🏿
KD just wants to hoop and be around hoopers. Dude is the spirit of "I just want to play basketball."
Yes,
...and tweet some sheet from time to time, get down with some bitches, etc...
Nice that the bros show some love and respect
Lauri is showing levels rn
Those 2 put on a show

Respect to Jazz but we all know KD fouled him in the end and refs are just paid by the suns so
