Lebron has never showed up his teammates or had as bad a body language when things are not going well. I never said he did not complain get it right.
I don't have a Mavericks bias issue I have never hated the Mavericks and I really liked them in the Tarpley era. The take is mine you can feel how you wish.
I am gonnasay this one more time in because people are arguing against that things that have no bearing on what I posted. Luca will be a top 5 player going forward he has 2 much talent, ai just don't think he will ever win a championship because I think he wants to do it on his terms and wants all of the credit and will never want to play with a guy as good as him. I also think his teammates will start turning on him because of his actions on the court when things go bad. I don't see real stars wanting to team up with him, I could be totally wrong but that's how I see it.
He turned 22 barely 3 months ago, and has already consecutively been a top 10, arguably top 5 player. Consecutively has led his team to the playoffs and performed at an elite level He has the scoring/playmaking/IQ and strength/size to to be the man on a championship team. He looks like he has real potential for being in the GOAT conversation with this start to his career. The only thing that would hold him back there is his defense not being elite, but like Harden he holds his own well due to his size and strength
Lol... Anyone else want to take this? No bad body language? Seriously? Did you watched I don't know the most recent game he played?
Lebron has earned respect unlike Luca so its not really the same and he does not show up teammates at the same level.
So LeBron has displayed bad body language or are you still contending he would NEVER! Also because he has "earned respect, unlike luka it's not really the same.". Respect from who? Noone respects Luka?
I said I believe he can be the man on a championship team which is directly related to your OP I also think he has potential for the GOAT convo, with the right surrounding talent he can easily win multiple rings IMO But the reality is championships are way more then a single player, he like MJ, LBJ, Kobe, will need another real star player (not KP) he will need luck with health, he will need the right surrounding compliment players, a competent FO, coaching staff
One thing Doncic has to do is learn how to manage his energy cause no one, no matter their cardio, can do as much as he does throughout the entire game. This won't take another star wingman, a Dennis Shroeder level guard would suffice. Today, Kawhi was chill throughout the game and still ended up with 28 points, most of them important, he rebounded, and he played good defense.
Lebron has always had bad body language.. Even during his prime( not so much in Miami because he knew better) .. It's just magnified now because people love to hate him to the 10th power...
He already is a champion of Spain, Euroleague and Euro-Cup with Slovenia. Oh and he was mvp of every of these run... he just needs better roster he has been proven in the war. And before you laugh at this remember team USA have failed in world cup and Slovenia is by no means favourite, matter of fact this was sensation. Mirotic, Abrines and Pau Gasol came back to Europe(to one team, they teamed up) and couldnt win Euroleague. Doncic has a champions heart its been proven, to translate this to NBA level he needs championship level roster and he will win one for sure
Yeah, OP doesn't really hold water. Luka does what he has to in order to win, doesn't seem too concerned with numbers. He had an opportunity to go for 48 points at the end of todays game, he instead dribbled the clock out. He also seems very likeable by the entire NBA. He is very similar to Harden, but he is not getting the Harden type of hate when he was on the Rockets. He will easily attract top talent. If you see the extended convos between him and Kawhi and PG at the end of the game, and the fact that Lebron wanted Luka to be the first player he signed under the Lebron/Nike brand, it says a ton about who Luka is and is going to be.
Candles that burn bright burn quickly. Is he a D-rose or can he last long like a Lebron. Who knows. He relies less on his athleticism than say a D-rose. But last couple NBA seasons, he seems kinda banged up already. Plus playing young in euro league, he started adding miles on that body more than most NBA guys by this age. No major injuries yet, but I can easily see him miss huge chunk of seasons next few years.
He's 22. And he's been an all-star and an all-NBA player. Name all the 22 year olds in the history of the league that have done that.
