That men's health article on Luka Doncic claims he had a 42-inch vertical at the combine... but Luka didn't participate in the combine It seems like the author just got that from the Google AI summary, which mistakes Donte Divincenzo's vertical leap number for Luka's.

random discovery -- there are words in mandarin that look like english transliterations but are a bit off, like "gas" is 瓦斯 (wasi), and "club" is 俱樂部 (julebu). the reason is because they first circulated via japanese, where 瓦斯 is gasu ガス and 俱樂部 is クラブ !!

flew from tokyo to newark last night. it's just f***ing lord of the flies over here.
