That's nuts.
luka has potential to be the goat
I have to agree.
Being a walking 50% chance to give you a 30 point triple-double from his second year onward is pretty dang tough.
I don't know about "GOAT", as I prefer to do give people that title by era with how much the game has changed. Luka is certainly on track to be the GOAT of this era, alongside Giannis.
Who would you rather have Luka or Giannis? I’d go Luka.
Personally Luka. Seems to make others better more than Giannis does, and I think Luka's weaknesses are easier to cover than Giannis.
Wouldn't complain with either though!
I wouldn’t complain with either as well but the biggest difference is that you can run your offense through Luka at the end of games.
Yeah, you only need to go as far as the guys who keep having career years alongside Luka as he gets more of the ball to see testaments to how uplifting his offence is
Luka is the only player that I’ve seen that I would call Bird like. He has a lot of Bird’s skills ( he’s not as good as prime Brid quite yet but still so young) and he has that same effect Bird had of giving his team mates swagger. You just know Luka will come up big in the big moment. Giannis, not so much.
In terms of size, position, and shooting ability he's probably more similar to Magic - who also had the same swagger. Luka's probably a better overall scorer than Magic was at a similar stage, although even there - Magic probably would've averaged 25-30ppg if he had Luka's team around him instead of Kareem, Wilkes, Worthy etc.
