1959-62 Baylor vs 2019-22 Luka

A lot of heated conversations about Luka (he deserved that 100%, great player) and I thought this is quite interesting comparison. They have a lot in common:

- both started their careers very strongly,
- both are high usage players who are sometimes criticized for that,
- both upped their games in the playoffs consistently,
- both are criticized for their average efficiency,
- both are big forwards who are excellent rebounders,
- both could play as the main ball-handlers.

Of course there are some differences (Luka is a better passer, though Baylor is good or Baylor is a better rebounder, though Luka is good). Who would you take though?

I will wait until this playoff finishes to vote. Baylor's numbers are overwhelming as well and it is pretty hard to argue with 2 Finals and 2 Division Finals appearances in 4 yrs. The only bad series he had appears to be over powerhouse Celtics as a rookie.

Bump, anyone?
