I will not … yes I will.

Pretty pedestrian. But then…BRACE YOURSELVES FOR DIRK 2.0.

Ok he’s got handles and can get to the rim. That’s cool. What else can he do?

That Dennis Smith Jr. guy that he plays with in the Mavericks’ back court is pretty decent too we hear.

If this is any indication of what’s to come, Dallas is going to be a Top-5 League Pass watch.

If you believe the hype, you can still get your money down on Luka to win Rookie of the Year if you so choose. Vegas surely believes it as he remains the odd-on-favorite to win the award.

Here his full highlight reel from night one in the association:
