Anytime you're playing against a guy like Luka DonÄiÄ, you know, he can control the tempo of games. He gets whatever shot he wants. He gets other guys involved. Just an incredible, incredible, incredible, absolutely incredible talent. And he's been that way since he walked into the NBA. I remember when he first came into the NBA and he said, "It's easier to score in the NBA than it is overseas." And everybody, I know guys were like, "Wow, he's outta his mind. Is he crazy? This the NBA." And when he said it, I understood what he was saying. Like, and what he was saying is like, there's so much more space on an NBA floor. And overseas they pack the paint, they play from the outside in. Whereas the NBA, everybody's trying to take the 3 away. And so Luka's like, "It's way easier to score here." And so I knew what he was talking about. And he's proven what he said was true. Mm-hmm.
