What is the NBA’s equivalent to “Can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?” (alien.top)

For those who aren’t familiar, british soccer commentator Andy Gray said this of Messi back in 2010/11, questioning whether Messi could dominate in tough conditions against a physical premier league club. It’s now a popular joke within the soccer and internet community.

For the NBA, is it “Can he do it after a night out in Miami?” “Can he do it on the second night of a back to back in Denver?” “Can he do it after the Lakers sent missed foul call video evidence to the league?” Something else?

Can he do it against NCAA competition?

(Said about Luka before he entered the league)

Will admit, I’m one of the dudes who said that. Underestimating foreign leagues is one of the biggest L’s I’ve taken over the past handful of years since euro and African players are dominating the league right now.

Luka was playing men at 15, that’s what sold me. But I can say I did not think some of these dudes would be as good as they are.
