Question Luka Dončić all you want, but get ready for an eventual ‘I told you so.’ In his sixth year, Luka’s performance mirrors Michael Jordan from 1988-89 or LeBron James from 2007-08, though not claiming he’s better. His three-point accuracy suggests a potential 50-40-90 shooter. If he maintains this pace, career highs in 48-38-78 splits, points (33.7), and assists (9.2) await. Unfortunately, individual brilliance is overlooked due to a lack of team success, with the Mavericks currently struggling. The front office’s response to talent deficiency wasn’t ideal, bringing in a less reliable player. Kyrie Irving’s return could have helped, especially in a recent collapse against the Pelicans. Dallas seems headed towards Western Conference purgatory again, partly due to Dončić’s own narrative. Despite criticisms, he’s a 25-year-old basketball savant, on the brink of reaching the sport’s pinnacle with the right opportunities. Let’s refrain from questioning his greatness, recalling similar doubts faced by LeBron and Jordan in their prime.
