Luka has never come close to being at Larry Legend's level. Larry did stuff like rebounding and defending, something Doncic is either too lazy or physically incapable of doing.
Luka highest rebounds per 36 minutes: 10.1, Larry Bird, 10.5 rebounds. Bird was a better rebounder and got more offensive rebounds, but it's not like Luka doesn't rebound. In terms of defending, yeah, Bird is better, but Luka is similar to Bird in that both are very good at making quick reads and finding steals, and I think a more fit Luka will have a more positive defensive season this year.
In terms of offensive playmaking, it's Luka. Scoring is also going to be Luka, because Larry just wasn't at his level on the volume scoring department, it's actually not even close when you factor in the postseason volume scoring. Luka is probably going to have a season so far above Bird in terms of offensive production this season, that I think he will surpass Larry Bird peak wise pretty handily if he keeps on going like this. He is just a remarkable scoring talent.
Brah Luka won't win one ring or MVP (like Bird did 3 x with both)
His scoring talent has never actually translated to playoff success either.
Luka's current offensive clip is not sustainable over 82 games plus playoffs, plus there is a lot more to being a great player than just a high volume scorer.
Luka made the finals.. how is that not playoff success?
Saying he will not win one ring or MVP is just silly, he has a decent chance at an MVP already this year. And it's no shame in winning one in these years, because the competition is better than ever.
