Barring injury Luka has a very good chance to be the offensive GOAT

[NBASTATMAN]

Stop hating and appreciate .. I remember watching Drazen and before Curry he was the best shooter I had ever seen.. These EURO players come into the league with much better fundamentals than American players cuz they are playing basketball full time at an early age.

THE USA better catch on or EURO will dominate basketball in the future.. :rockon:

Overall offensive player maybe.

Not best scorer, Kareem and MJ are goats there.

Luka is a much better passer than them though and a much better driver than Larry Bird.

So overall, yes he has the ability for GOAT.

I would put KD in there with MJ AND KAREEM.. The dude is unstoppable as a scorer.. Too bad he got injured.. THAT SCUKS FOR HIM..

KD would have easily been the best player in the game right now.. Lebron is the GOAT but he isn't what he used to be.. That happens to all great players though..

Maybe but we'll have to wait and see. Putting up great numbers in the regular season in the weakest defensive era ever won't prove that. He's gonna have to do this on the biggest stage. All signs point to him being able to do that but let's wait and see.

Please stop.

So sick of watching wannabe MJ GOAT

[NBASTATMAN]

Please stop.


DMAVS Luka is probably my fav player to watch right now. Even more than Bron. Bron looks old but he is still playing at a high level. I remember the excitement I had watching Drazen play in NJ and LUKA is just great to watch and he has all the skills to be up there with the best all time..

I'm the least knee-jerk, most level-headed person I know, and all's I know is I've bought into Doncic hook, line, and sinker. I can't wait to seem him in high-intensity playoff moments. I haven't been this excited about a player since second-year Dwyane Wade.

I AGREE ON KOBE :cheers:

Lebron showed you nothing. Fraudulent 3/9 requiring Kyrie and Allen big shots to avoid 1/9. :roll:

[egokiller]

Highly doubt he'd take himself out of a playoff game like MJ did.

If we are lucky, he

[Hey Yo]

If we are lucky, he’ll retire, play another sport, and come back and do a repeat 3 peat on the same team which is unheard of. :applause:
It's going to take time to see if Luka is mentally and physically fragile like MJ and will need to rest up for a few years.

Please stop.I feel sorry for you, the trolls are now piling up on the bandwagon.

Great...

Can we let him play in the playoffs for at least a couple series before we start proclaiming him in the kind of company as the best players of all-time?

Kid is 20 years old and this shit is getting out of control.

Imagine the hate he's going to get if he plays a shit playoff series (assuming they make it) and the Mavs lose in 5 games to the Jazz, for example.

Just don't see the reason to do any of this all-time stuff until we see at least a full completed season.

He will have his bad games and bad playoff series but he is an anomaly just like Kareem,Magic, Bird, MJ, and Lebron.. :bowdown:

This is way different than recent young players’ successes. Don’t be afraid of it just because it’s out of the ordinary.

Sorry man, he’s already in the company of best players of all-time. What could possibly make you think this is gonna stop?

And worrying about the hate he’ll get if he has a bad playoff series? Give me a break, that’s for him to deal with if it happens. Enjoy the ride, you’ve got an all-time great on your hands.

[QUOTE=brooks_thompson]Sorry man, he

[superduper]

I truly hope Luka doesn't start drinking his own Kool-Aid and starts to buy into his own hype. I hope he stays true to himself and his mentality.

Hopefully he won't need a humbling moment but if it comes down to it I hope it happens sooner rather than later.

I don't know why people call him larry bird.... the passing is there. but he doesn't have the defensive IQ Bird had. Bird wasn't a great athlete at all but he could make a timely steal, charge, or play to affect the game.

Luka to me is like james harden meets Tony Kukoc. He's unique but is in that offensive volume style of Harden while offering Kukoc type game on steroids.

Offensively driving in the paint he reminds me of a less athletic Manu but Manu was a better defender as a rookie.

[tontoz]

I am not a fan of Goat conversations in general. Not into MJ vs Lebron vs Kareem.... whatever.

I just like watching great players. This kid is clearly one of them.

His game most closely resembles Lebron. Will he eventually be considered better than Lebron? I have no idea and frankly don't care.
