In Finnish media, there has been lately a trend that consist following aspects:
A) Coverage on Lauri's daily efforts seems to exploding
B) Awe for his totally unprecedented balling has reached to a new level
C) Daily sports articles have formed a new standard format in line with: "Lauri Markkanen was again the best player on a court when his team Utah Jazz lost in its [add increasing ordinal number here] time in row."
D) Lauri has transcended above some kind of mythical level in Finnish basketball, while his team is not
E) Lauri's apparent shortcomings are still handled relatively objectively, and talked on rather matter-of-fact manner, but no article ever undermine his divine efforts: He is the celestial measuring stick of everything about the Finnish basketball, now and most likely very long time to come
F) A random non-sport following granny from backwoods recognize Lauri's name these days
Happy New Year! Everyone!
