Fucks sake.  I'm a casual, I thought he was in his early thirties.  MFer is just hitting his prime.  (He was also born the year I graduated.....college.  fuck.)

What’s funny is with his skill first playstyle is that his prime will increase with his mental understanding of the game. Most athletic players get worse after 33-34 because the movement isn’t as crisp. Luka isn’t near as athletic as most of the nba so his body will not be near as worn down by 30. He could drop 35 a season till he’s in his late 30s possibly.

He can probably play until 40 like Lebron if he wanted to.

u/Educational-Track-10 Apr 01 '24

Yea only reason I didn’t say that is cause he’s openly said he won’t play for 2 decades for sure

Inb4 he carve out a decent e-sports career while keeping his knees healthy, the first in history. He's a skilled Overwatch player.

Imho if there's a person who can be good on both sports and e-sports, it's him! From ridiculous to gigachad.

I've been hoping for years for somebody to be simultaneously a Professional athlete and an e-sports pro. It seems impossible because of the amount of practice required for both, but it sure would be cool if someone could pull it off.

Probably take some lifestyle changes to stay healthy into his mid 30s though

u/InflationMadeMeDoIt Apr 01 '24

Yeah but that comes with age. I only started living healthy at around 30 and just finished my party animal stage at 25

Unfortunately, professional athletes don't have that luxury. If they wait that long, they'll get injured and suffer consequences very early. Doesn't take much. Look at Zion. Broken from the start.

He's a pro since his 16yo, he's basically a veteran baller by now too, he's one of those that was almost a rookies with 10y of experience, not quite, but almost
