Luka Doncic shares air with Michael Jordan, claims Mavericks coach only Shaquille O’Neal approves of

You bring up a new name in a “goat” conversation and there are opinions. Jason Kidd knew what he was doing when he advocated for his star player to join the league alongside Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. After Luka Doncic placed himself between Kobe Bryant and Wilt Chamberlain in NBA history, Shaquille O’Neal seemed to endorse the Dallas coach’s popular sentiment.

Jason Kidd said without stuttering: ““He (Doncic) is better than Dirk (Nowitzki),” At pessimistic radio show. “He was in a Jordan, LeBron, Kobe atmosphere, the best player ever.“

Shaq, a huge Mavericks fan, retweeted Kidd’s statement on his Instagram Stories. He didn’t provide additional background information, but he’s been known to throw new names into the “GOAT” hat as well.

Doncic’s 73 points in a single game set a single-game scoring record for the Dallas Mavericks. He also ranks fourth in NBA history behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point record, Kobe Bryant’s 81 points and 78 points against Wilt.When asked if Coach Kidd was upset about Doncic breaking the game plan, Kidd would claim wonder boy is the game plan. After all, Doncic’s playoff average of 32.5 points is second only to Jordan’s 33.45 points.

Doncic broke the record set by Nowitzki (who won the championship with the team in 2011) at the age of 24. His coach believes his trajectory can only be upwards from here. “Just admiring what this young man is doing at 24 years old…is something Dallas has never seen. ”

Shaquille O’Neal plays it safe

Shaq doesn’t take the greatest-of-all-time discussion lightly either. He accused Stephen A. Smith of excluding Kobe Bryant. O’Neal also vacillated on the discussion, but leaned toward Jordan. That hasn’t stopped his recent low-key campaign for Stephen Curry’s selection.

This is another heated debate I’ve sparked. That’s probably why he hasn’t fully backed Doncic yet. However, in terms of dominance, I surprised many by choosing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over Doncic. Shaq finally got out of the woods after Doncic gave him a reason to be noticed and started showing off his Slovenian.

After winning the game against the Hawks, Doncic casually put on his headphones. Unexpectedly, 73 points became the topic of TNT. Shaq translated some English sentences into Slovenian, including his long-popular catchphrase: “google me chuck“. The correct pronunciation, and not mixed with Russian, shocked Doncic. Shaq went 3-2 on the Slovenian pop quiz. As impressive as scoring 73 points in one game. Don’t you agree?
