I'm sure Luka has his faults, but he really seems like a good guy. The thing I really like about this Hawkeye team is that not only am I pumped for every game, but my kids have started watching with me too. A lot of that comes from the Garza effect.
It's really easy to sell that guy as a role model - works hard, great attitude, never quits, team player, enjoying the game, oh and by the way, he's the best player in the country.
I was trying to explain to my daughter today why he may or may not stick in the NBA, but it's one of those deals where even if he doesn't, or if he gets unlucky and suffers some career-ending injury and can never play basketball again, no matter what he'll be successful in whatever comes next.
And kudos to Fran for building this team. They're all great together. Team basketball at its finest.
