Luka’s moment

The NBA Finals start tonight. I will watch them, because I am a Luka Doncic fan.

I so wish Atlanta had not traded him for the faux superstar that is Trae Young.

(Side question: How dork-tastic is the nickname “Ice Trae” all things considered? Also, there’s no way Trae Young can be the lead dog on a team that even contends for a title, right? His defense is non-existent.)
