My bad. I just ran google translate on it without proofreading.
Terrible Lauri drawings"
BASKETBALL STAR Lauri Markkanen has received a surprising honor. He has been chosen as the caricature of the year.
A caricature is a person who is a good subject for cartoons or caricatures.
"For the caricature, a Finnish person who has been heavily featured in the media is chosen, who is interesting to draw in terms of personality and external essence," says Grafia in the press release."

"Markkanen later gets to choose one of the caricatures made of him. The works are on display at Skarppie's annual exhibition at Taidekeskus Taarasti in Nastola."

This. Not even as good a caricatures you get at a standard county fair in hicksville America. Where did they find these "artists"? I'm beginning to think this is just a joke.

In my nearly 40 years in Finland I have yet to encounter a single Finnish Caricature artist. Everyone I've encountered has been foreign, and even then, there's very few of them around. I guess that gives you an idea of the market, and as we can see, the results of little to none competition.
He's about to be the first back to back winner of the most improved player.
This was the craziest part for me…
Seeing a deeper three point line randomly out there in the community. But after looking closer, I don’t believe it’s accurate at all. There’s no way that free throw line is 15’.

I measured the FT line is 15 times longer than the shoe of that tall dude. It suggests the FT line is close to what it should be. I assume the tall dude is having a 30cm shoe. The FT line is about right

Youtube keeps pushing all kinds of LM related videos to my feed. Most of them are meh but this one was very interesting and well made despite coming from a very small (100 subs) content provider.
Ignore the title. Dude drops some awesome advanced stats about his PnR, rim protection etc.

Thanks for the clip. It’s all about versatility with Lauri. And as his numbers show us, his good defending separates him from many top scorers who can’t defend. Looking forward to his next 4 years. He hasn’t used his top gear yet.
Awesome find. Nice job.
