    also Slovenia is one of the richest countries in the region and it's not often that getting good at sports is the only way to find some stability for your family.

    have you ever watched Luka play? Relies on p&r a lot, great vision for a passer, is big for a pg. LBJ is much more athletic, although Luka uses his size a lot on his drives. Luka is a better 3pt shooter, at least at current point in their careers.

    LeBron is Luka’s idol, but Luka also studied Harden’s moves. I see shades of both players in him.

    Who said anything about playing style. I only made the point they are statistical similar at similar ages.

    Well, as a pass-first big PG, isn't LBJ a first comparable player that comes to mind? Especially how he finds shooters in the corner. Very LBJ-like. Even Wade said so after he played against him.

    Lebron is a better defender and overall athlete so I don’t really like the comparison. He’s like bird mixed with harden

    He's a bad MF.

    31, 10 & 9 on 60% TS in his first playoff series at 21 years old. Took a supremely talented team with two of the league's best wing defenders to 6 games.

    Um, no. As good as he is on offense his defense isn’t that good... he’s like a mini harden...

    for some reason I just think he’s going to be one of those dudes who has a career altering injury And we’ll be thinking what could have been.

    but I give him props, he’s a great player. Not LeBron great though

    It's amazing how easily he gets clean shots off on drives. He doesn't appear to be blessed with elite physical tools.
