‘We’re talking about Michael Jordan?’: Shaquille O’Neal’s new TNT co-host Jason Kidd praises Luka Doncic

Jason Kidd has been proud of Luka Doncic time and time again. This time, however, his comparisons of the Dallas Mavericks superstar to legends like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan may have gone a little too far. MJ has always been the benchmark for comparison. If you’re better than the Chicago Bulls legend, you’re probably already the GOAT, simple as that. Kidd believes Doncic is in the same vibe as MJ, but 3x 6MOTY Jamal Crawford denies this. He’s tired of people comparing young stars to Jordan.

Crawford shared, “I’m kind of tired of people throwing Michael Jordan’s name around. Like what are we doing? ‘Are we talking about Michael Jordan?’ … He’s the best ever… He’s too good to be compared to.” “ Crawford has made his point clear. Shaq also believes it’s too early to compare Doncic to a legend, but he wants to compare the Dallas star to Kobe Bryant. Additionally, Jason Kidd’s belief that Doncic is already a better player than Dirk Nowitzki sparked concern among fans on social media.

So is MJ unbeatable? Not really. Crawford handpicked several superstars who he was willing to compare to Michael Jordan. let’s see.

Jamal Crawford shares some entities he wishes to be in the same conversation as Michael Jordan

He believed Jordan was a benchmark not just for basketball, but for all other famous sports. “Michael Jordan this, Michael Jordan that”. When someone has that ability, you can’t pick a young superstar to compare to. Jamal Crawford wants to join some true legends with a long history of accomplishments.

I once shared, “Shaq, Kobe (Bryant), (LeBron), Magic (Johnson), Wilt (Chamberlin), Bill Russell”. Well, Shaq denies it. The Los Angeles Champion said: “I’m not in that conversation”, decided to choose the humble path as always. Regardless, Crawford has made his point. He only wants the best. So, be careful next time you compare someone to Jordan. Crow Ford will be listening carefully!
