NBA Legends Sent Luka Doncic a MESSAGE

NBA Legends Sent Luka Doncic a MESSAGE

Luca donic is currently one of the best basketball players in the world that is to nobody’s surprise as Luca has been a top talent ever since he was a teenager dominating on the court against professionals when he was only 17 years old however he has reached a level of

Play that very few players in basketball history have done during their careers not only is Luca one of the best players in the world right now but also in the history of the game if you think otherwise maybe these Legends opinion will change your mind let’s hear what

Some of the NBA greats have said about Luca and his game once an amazing point guard for the Dallas Mavericks and a veteran presence for their 2011 championship Squad Jason kid has now taken the role of the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks so if somebody understands how to perform in a Dallas

Maverick’s uniform that would be Jason kid the onceall NBA point guard knows what it takes to be great at that position and in that franchise and he is aware that Luca has that in him as well even going as far to say that he believes Luca is already better than

What many people consider the greatest Mavericks player ever Dirk Nowitzki I’ve said this uh before and I’ll say it you know for as long as I’m here is you can’t take this young man for granted um he’s better than Dirk uh he’s in the in the atmosphere of MJ the

Best to ever do it LeBron uh Kobe um and so just to appreciate what uh this young man is doing at the age of 24 is is something that Dallas has never seen one trait that all of the basketball greats have in common is that they make the

Game look easy Luca donic is no exception the Slovenian star is playing the game at his own pace getting to his spots and never seems to be uncomfortable when facing different types of strategies against him however old heads especially old heads that used to be great Defenders like Tony Allen or

Bruce Bowen have gone out in public to explain what their defensive approach against Luca would look like the 2004 Defensive Player of the Year Ron arest or as of latest meta sandord arest joined in this conversation and explained how he would take on Luca if he were tasked to guard him during his

Career artist has guarded some of the greatest scorers from the 2000s era like Kobe Bryant Tracy McGrady or Paul Pierce so he would know what it takes to guard the best the primary goal Ron said he would have is to test Luca’s cardio for the first three quarters it would be

Really hard for you to get a jumper unless you’re coming off a screen that was just my thought process guarding guys you’re going to have to drive and I don’t mind a guy getting 15 or 20 in the first quarter if you’re getting that against me in the first quarter you’re probably

Done however at the end of the day even our test is aware that Luca is built differently and would be a hell of a matchup even for him Gilbert arenus was also one of the great scorers that Ron arest was tasked to guard during the 2000s although he was an amazing talent

Agent Zero’s career was cut short due to unfortunate injuries and the infamous gun Scandal however Gilbert has been keeping himself around the basketball world as he has appeared on numerous podcasts discussing the game he is a big fan of Luca donic and is mostly impressed by how Luca has mastered the

Basketball fundamentals which have allowed him to take advantage against the bigger and more athletic players in the NBA the reason fundamentals are necessary it’s like being in traffic with a Lamborghini or Prius mhm yeah you can beat the Prius in a straight up race but through traffic

Uh-uh the Prius has an advantage so what ends up happening is Luca has the advantage over anyone who’s guarding him because these guys are too athletic for this part of the game yes for this part of that part open court open court you got them half court where you have to be

Disciplined you never learned it so these basic moves to get you to think I’m going to go that way to come back this way you overplay it pump fake you’re jumping foul foul next time pump fake you stopped okay like you know so he plays he plays the Puppet Master game

With you and that’s what fundamentals are are are are important especially at a younger age another great point guard turned to head coach is chony bips chony was always a brilliant basketball mind but unlike kid he has not had the privilege of coaching Luca but coaching against him in a matchup between bip’s

Trailblazers and Luca’s Mavs Luca finished with a triple double absolutely torching Portland with 42 points 13 rebounds and 10 assists and securing the win for his Squad after the game chony talked about how big of a problem Luca was for his Squad that night and pointed

Out how good of a one-on-one player Luca actually is and how he managed to make the Blazers look silly guarding him it’s a matter of playing against Luca he makes every single team in the league look like that it just is what it is he’s this guy is so big you can you

Double him he he sees over top of you he his passes are on time on target most of the time it’s just you know some players are just that good or they can do that so um for us you know we is we knew that we were GNA have to make multiple

Efforts on most possessions in this game um and for the most part we did that had a couple breakdowns you know and the last few minutes of it um that cost us when asked who Luca reminded him of chony kept it simple Luca I don’t know I don’t know I really

I haven’t we I don’t think we’ve seen a guy like him so he’s he’s one of one Gary pton is another great point guard who thinks highly of Luca donic G PP was a menace during his playing days often times making his opponents play below their level with his trash talking and great

Defense the glove was a tremendous competitor so he rarely gave credit to his opponents but it seems like as time goes on even he has learned to give other players props especially the leaders of the new generation in the NBA when asked about his opinion on then

Rookie Luca donic Gary said that Luca is an amazing talent who the Mavs should build around Luca is a great a great talent a real great talent he showed it um coming over here win a rookie of the year and scoring as easy as he did um

That’s for being over in overseas a lot and being focused like that a lot and and know how to score um they’re building it is what it is they’re building and once you build and put the right pieces together and keep them together for a little bit they’ll be

Fine I think uh Mark is doing a good job of doing what he has to do to keep them together they got a great coach and um they just got to keep working while Steve Nash was the coach for the Brooklyn Nets he had a tough time game

Planning against Luca donic it all seemed to culminate in March 2022 when Luca Dropped a 49-point Bomb against Nash’s Nets with 22 seconds left in the game Luca made a go-ahead two-pointer Kevin Durant then tied the game with eight seconds to go so it all came down to the last possession the

Nets tried everything they could to get the ball out of Lucas’s hands as they knew that the Mavs were going to try to go through him and they actually succeeded however by doubling Luca they left Spencer Den witty open for a three-point shot and Luca once again showcased his great Court Vision by

Finding him over the double team after the game Steve Nash pointed out how the things that he thinks set Luca apart from the rest of the players I just think his his feel for the game you know coupled with his size you know he’s he’s

Able to use his size to get free um and that feel for how to get people off bound balance and how to spray the ball or how to score Luca donic made sure to have a statement game in his first ever playoff appearance in 2020 in game one of the Western Conference quarterfinal

Series against the Clippers Luca dropped 42 points this was even more impressive when you consider the fact that Luca was only 21 years old at the time after the game Richard Jefferson and Scotty Pippen discussed this performance on ESPN and also RJ pointed out how high of

Standards are put on Luca at such an early age Scotty kept his focus on the 11 turnovers Luca had that night which in his opinion let the wind slip away from the Mavs I know exactly where he’s coming from um being a player that has

Played at that level had to be a leader for your team when you have a game when you have high turnovers those are your worst games those are games that you can criticize yourself those are games that your teammates are going to criticize you but not only the coaching staff are

Going to criticize you but beyond that first half you take away those first seven turnovers he had an outstanding game his leadership his uh floor ability to see the floor to make the right plays I mean he was outstanding his his offense was very dominant down in the

Stretch of the game when por Zing went out but I can understand that he is a little bit humiliated because of the turnovers and he realized like everyone else in Texas that they let a game get away at the end of the day although Scotty thought that Luka had a bad game

Because of the turnovers he was still aware that Luca was and still is an amazing talent and he made sure to point that out as well although they played only two games against each other it didn’t take long for Wade to notice Luca Don’s talents when asked about what he

Thinks of the young Luca donic Wade said that he is a big fan of his hell of a player hell of a young player but um he just you know it seemed like he’s been here before already you know he’s just very season um and um you know I think I

Think Dallas Mavericks fans and NBA sports fans around the world should be excited about you know what he can do for the next 20 years in this game um so um as a fan of the game I love watching him play he does things on the court um

That you just you know it Wows you um so it’s great you guys got a good one keep them I’m sure Mark Cuban will as much as you would listen and watch Michael Jordan during his playing days you would think he would remain in the public eye

For years to come that does not seem to be the case whatsoever as has been rarely seen around the game of basketball nowadays let alone talk about it however actions speak louder than words and MJ’s respect for Luca was put on display during the 2022 allstar game

When Michael went out of his way to go and greet Luca as you can see in this short clip he doesn’t have this type of love for everybody as Carl Anthony towns did not get anywhere near the same treatment from Mike that Luca did greatness recognizes greatness and this

Is no exception as even before this moment happened Mike had a really high opinion about Luca as when donic signed his deal with the Jordan brand Bleacher Report published an MJ quote where Jordan had said that Luca was the future of the league Luca is a phenomenal

Player and at such a young age he’s demonstrating skills that take many guys years to develop it will be incredible to watch him continue to advance in the league sha is probably somebody that has changed his opinion the most about Luca but as of late the big diesel has kept it consistent

As he has become a big fan of the Maverick Superstar sha talked about Luca’s greatness on Inside the NBA pointing out his creating ability shock analyzed Luca’s offensive performance against the Lakers and he capped it off by saying this kid has to do everything for the team to be successful right here

Guys he could pass it but he just said I’m a score and great player MVP candidate but it’s a lot of pressure on him cuz if he don’t play well if he don’t do that Mavericks go nowhere it seems that that Luca donic has been breaking NBA records every other night

Nowadays however if there is one record that Luca will probably never be able to break it is Rasheed Wallace’s record for technical fouls in one regular season with 40 in his 2001 campaign although unbreakable it seems that Luca has been trying his best to catch up to sheid as

He has consistently been one of the leaders in the league in technical fouls sheet had a few words of advice for Luca as he pointed out that he is obviously more useful for the Mavericks when he is on the court than off you just got to keep playing um you know I

Did receive a lot of text and stuff mine were a lot of mes were during the regular season but once playoff time came then I knew it was at stake there so I knew like okay I gotta shut my mouth I gotta just go ahead and bite the

Bullet and if the referee they want to you know be sarcastic or cuss me out I gotta let them because I know if I said anything then they would give me a tech and now I’m going for two games we’re in a play play off and that could change

The whole thing so Luca just keep playing you you know you busting they ass you killing them already dog so just keep playing doing what you doing you ain’t even got to say nothing to the rest you going to the line you getting buckets y’all winning hey go ahead you

Doing your thing bro contrary to the Jason kid comments on Luca being greater than Durk and in the same category as the greats like Kobe LeBron and MJ X NBA guard and three time Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford thinks that while Luca is definitely on a path to

Greatness it is unfair to compare him to such big names in the game of basketball at least not yet people don’t give dirt enough Champion uh credit for the championship he got if he went through all the best players Jason Terry was the second best player who came off the

Bench and Dirk just took control of the whole thing the whole situation didn’t cry didn’t complain won a championship in one of the hardest errors and so Luca is on his way to being one of the greats but right now today we can’t say he and

I’m can I say something else I’m kind of tired of people throwing away on Michael Jordan’s name like what are we doing we talking about Michael Jordan Jeffrey Jordan or Michael like he’s the best ever and besides people are like comparing him he’s too good to be compared similar to Wade Vince Carter

Didn’t need much time to recognize how good Luca donic is the two faced each other only two times winning one game a piece however in those two games Luca earned Carter’s respect hence why Vince still talks highly of him today as an NBA analyst he’s been smooth sailing

Though we watched him soon as he got into the league and you’re like wow this is not your everyday rookie he’s he’s playing at a different level and a different pace which was his pace and then he moves into his second year you can tell he’s gotten better and he’s

Gotten better in his third year MVP yeah in the beginning because we were watching him in the bubble and he was outstanding and he’s been outstanding up and down all year but I tell you what he’s still he’s still playing at a at a great level maybe not MVP level but but

He’s as as advertised for sure it seems that appreciation for Luca donic runs in the family as Vince Carter’s cousin Tracy McGrady also has a lot of love for Luca’s game Tracy was asked which young player does he look at in the NBA and say that he is the future of the league

And without a second of thinking he said Luca Luca is pretty damn good he is understand yeah Luka I love watching Luka because Luca is not the fastest he’s not the quickest can’t jump over a dollar um but skill-wise like his skill levels off the charts he knows how

To control the pace of a game he knows how to create space and get his shot off on anybody whether it’s somebody that’s bigger stronger uh quicker than him he he just knows how to play the game and control the pace as expected Luca donic has been approved by pretty much every X

NBA player you could think of he has obviously played at a great level but is that old school competitive approach that wins the old heads Hearts over as time goes on we will see a lot more from Luca donic and without a doubt hear a

Lot of Praise about him as well best of luck to Luca in his upcoming years in the NBA and hopefully we get to witness his greatness for many years to come

Luka doncic of the Dallas Mavericks have shocked NBA Legends like Michael Jordan and Shaq for some time now, in this video we will take a look what they have had to say about Luka Doncic’s Magic
