    Yeah, very possibly. It's kinda ridiculous to even think about it, but Bird's best season was 30/9/6 on 61 TS% at 30 years old, Doncic is averaging 30/10/10 on 63 TS% as a 20 year old.

    Yeah they do. I check their fan sites regularly and they are Luka-gasming like crazy.

    Bird won a title in year 2. Had his team in the conf finals in year 1. I know he’s white but we gotta chill with that comparison.

    In year 2 Larry Bird had 3 hall-of-famers as teammates. Call me a hater all you want, but I don't think guys Maxi Kleber or Boban Marjanovic are hall-of-famers. Maybe Porzingis if he reaches his full potential.

    yeah but stats dosent translate that well with time. Imagine bird playing with the kind of shooting and spacing that the modern nba has... his average would have been even most ridiculous.
    Its a different game, and Luka still has a long way to show he belongs on a conversation of the larry birds of the world.
    But at 20, he is certainly very impresive, and will continue to grow. The way the reads the defense and pace every move to go and get exactly what he wants out of the defense is incredible. At this point i think is fair to say he is way ahead olffensevely of lebron at 20. The big difference of course, Lebron being a millon times better the athlete and the defender ( when he was young at least).
    Only time will tell if Luka belongs on the pantheon of the greats, and wich place he holds there. Lebron is n2 or 3 all time, so he still has a long way to go.

    Crappy memes. How original. You would literally sleep with the dude. Hell, you'd probably be content with cuddling.

    Hall of Famers in name only at that point of their careers, although Tiny did make the nba 2nd team.

    True, but even if it was only the start of their careers, they were still really good. Similar to how the Durant/Westbrook/Harden Thunder made the NBA finals. All three future hall-of-famers just at the start of their careers.

    Not sure if that cave man would take offense or Dirk.
