@YunoBall42069@joaburner@BSquuuaaad@LegionHoops@DanWoikeSports@Fullcourtpass Legit question tho
I don't know so much about sport science and I was just pro/am type of player.
So In this situation do you think Luka can still improve his condition after this injury and like better chance to not injury by the same spot again?

If he dicided to lock in then he actually can complete by 1-2 weeks
Columbus pitched this exact trip to Spain in 1492. He said it was a 3,500-mile journey. The real distance is more than 8,000 miles. He survived only because two entire continents nobody in Europe knew existed happened to be sitting in his path.
The first mistake was a translation problem. Columbus was working off a calculation by a 9th-century Persian geographer named Al-Farghani, who said one degree around the Earth was about 57 miles. That was correct, but Al-Farghani measured in Arabic miles. Columbus assumed Roman miles. Same number, different ruler. Roman miles were shorter, so his version of Earth came out 25% smaller than the real one.
Then he made it worse. He read Marco Polo and decided Asia ran way further east than anyone else thought. So he redrew his maps to match. Japan ended up sitting right next to the Azores, the Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic. The actual Japan is on the other side of the entire Pacific Ocean. He moved a whole country 8,000 miles to make his pitch work.
Spain’s royal experts ran his numbers in 1486 and rejected him. They were right. They told Ferdinand and Isabella that Columbus had badly underestimated the size of the planet. He got funded six years later anyway, but not because his math improved. Spain’s long war at home had just ended, and they wanted in on the Asia trade before Portugal locked it up.
A Greek librarian had already figured out the actual size of Earth in 240 BC. That puts him 1,700 years ahead of Columbus. The librarian was named Eratosthenes. He used a stick, a deep well in southern Egypt, and the angle of the noon sun on the longest day of the year. His answer: about 25,000 miles around. The real number is 24,901. He was off by maybe 1 to 2%, depending on the Greek length unit he was using. He did this with hand tools, almost 2,000 years before anyone built the first telescope.
Columbus knew about that calculation. He just didn’t like it. The bigger number meant the trip was impossible. No 15th-century ship could carry enough food and water to sail 8,000 miles nonstop, let alone the 15,000-plus to actual eastern China. So he picked a smaller number that fit the boat. He got lucky. The Americas were in the way.
The map in this post does work in a literal sense, but it cheats. Flat maps stretch everything sideways. Any east-west line looks straight on them, even when it actually curves on a globe. If you’ve ever flown to Tokyo, you’ve seen the flight path arc up over Russia on the seatback screen. The arc is the actual shortest route. Columbus’s plan was wrong. The map that makes it look possible is wrong in a different way.
