Luka Doncic at 20 years old is 'better than LeBron was at 20' - Shannon Sharpe | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED no

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED nooooo. Magic by far

He just broke Jordan’s record of consecutive 20-5-5 games. I can’t think of many 20 year olds doing that

If he continues this trend he is the GOAT. If he gets at least 4 ish rings he is better than your favorite player

YES. He’s up there with Magic Johnson

I'm just glad it didn't turn into a Jordan v LeBron thang

Nope, but Yea he was right, Luka was definitely better than LeBron at 20 years old

Jedi mind trick. 😭😭😭

No its because skip hates Doncic more than Lebron, because Doncic is a Maverick and Skip likes the Spurs

literally just thinking that

Bryant Marquez Yeah, it’s obvious

He hates him because he's not going to let the Spurs into the Playoffs LOL

Whoever the GOAT of the next era is, that will be the newest person Skip will hate on lol

its a little easier to hate on Luka tho. he's unathletic, slow, and doesn't play defense.

Matt Rowland First two things doesn’t matter and he has a lot of time to improve his defense

At that age bro...

I got the Noti and was like.. Wait wtf..

Goat Reacts I know. I didn’t mean like all time. I need to change that

tutu kuluku I know. I gotta change if

And skip depending lebron. 😯

It will be ad

Or Giannis

T Hunter he’s already been hating on Luka much more than AD

@Larry Carter no shaq?

@Larry Carter uh I'm sorry... Where's Kareem?

Lmao

Lol 🤣🤣 they gonna take Unc off TV lol he can't be saying hood colloquials all willy nilly lol

zymosan123 someone’s upset 🤣

I rewinded that part like 10 times🤣🤣

zymosan123 Lebron is better than magic.

At that age. I don’t think overall

I don't think unc understands the nba in 2004 was different..put luka back then and bron today...luka would lose more and suck and not get boards or assists or points efficiently on that cavs team..bron in todays nba would...its just reality...the amount of versatility small ball speed possession shots rebs spacing and defensive switching was just not what it is now...it was a slow big man post up defensive style game...teams scored under 90 all the time...rarely got over 100...games would be in the 70's..heck 60's sometimes...

Luka is better than LeBron when LBJ was 20 years old.

Luka has better teammates and great coach than LeBron at 20 yrs old. It's interesting that both players got drafted by the worst teams in the past couple of seasons before they got drafted yet they somehow managed to shine.

It proves Shannon is a sellout. He ain't a real bronsexual.

kareem magic russell wilt lebron were better at 20.....I don't think thats a debate......

@@razkable there is a debate tho. Maybe not a great one but there is a debate that can be made

discordant dancers True

Not much of a compliment when it’s undebatable

His Lebron bashing to gain relevance is about to end. Who looks like the next face of the league that doesn’t have a lot of things to bash them on for him to be irrational about. This is all about him setting himself up to be a hater for the next fifteen years.

He's been hating on him on this show, what you been watching.

@@condorgaming4000 I'm talking LeBron level hate... He just getting that Paul George Indy hate right now

@@xxtooshiestyxx8756 that's that OG knowledge of skip hate

@@KxngKUDA facts... Dat hate damn near old enough to buy Newports 😂😂

Its because he's a Mavericks player. Skip is a Spurs fan. He already hates Doncic more than Lebron. Why do you think he just said Lebron was better at 20 even when Sharpe said Doncic is better at 20. And Sharpe thinks Lebron is the GOAT.

LMAOO

@@Banks23 for real tho 😅😅

Lmaooo

@@brandontu226 they doing him dirty with that one right there 😄😄

@@BatmanPops doing a cardi b imitation huh 😂😂

@F Ooo Dude was the MVP over in Europe before he was old enough to legally buy a pack of cigarettes

@@koollikedatt007 facts people act surprised 😂 dude was literally winning MVPs, Finals Mvps at 18 years old in Euroleague.

Americans did not know him! In Europe he was a star at 16 17 everybody knew Luka Dončić! I knew he was gonna be the best player in the world! And he is close already! Go Luka

@F Ooo Slovenia part of former Yugoslavia. We rule in all sports! Probably now if you put former Yugoslavia back together we would win it all.....Basketball we would destroy even the US! It would be a great game to watch!

Dejan Konjević I Understand that for the sake of patriotism you’re predisposed to give credence to this notion that your fellow countrymen is the greatest ball player in the world, but that doesn’t negate the absurdity of your proclamation 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

It's both. Playing against grown men in the 2nd best pro-league in the world def helped his game and confidence.

Everybody was ignoring that at first but now want to use that as an excuse.

It's illegal in America. Everyone must go through High school and college first but in other countries you can go straight into the pro league. Even LaMelo ball playing in the Australian league right now is because USA ban young players getting into the NBA regardless of skill. There is also an age limit of 19 so no way American kids could go pro like Luka did.

TheAwesomeAccount yes they can. If they really wanted to American kids could go overseas and play for professional teams. The problem is almost no one believes that to be the better option. Americans still think high school then college is the best way for players to develop.

It means he was better prepared he played grown men while bron was playing kids out of high school but listen nothin to be mad about Luca a baller so is bro but as 20 yr old they are not magic who was MVP of the Finals as a rookie

Heze-Hez on god 🤣

Facts 🤣🤣🤣

Fax

Or Tebow

Koffa Tallawford 🤣🤣

skips not wrong...you have to adjust for pace and possessions and space and versatility lineups switching defenses size less post big men faster players and the lack of tough defense being not allowed today compared to back then when you could put your hands on and bump someone without a call and be a little overly harsh on fouls without worry about techs which made guys not jump as much into the air into bigs in fear of pain it all plays into it...luka back then and lebron now would be switched stats wise if not lebron would have better counting stats being that hes bigger

Facts😂

Same with new orleans, but the other way around

Jewel Thomas lmao

Kevin Moy atleast New Orleans know that they’ll be good when Zion comes back and they’ll get a good draft pick next year

only dallas team this past 20 seasons to win a title..

@@razkable stars got close for us 😂😂😂

^^^ the two posters above me are slow, that’s the Lebron hate syndrome.

zymosan123 I never said he was better than mj but he damn sure better than magic

zymosan123 name me 4 things that magic is better at then lebron ? 🤔

zymosan123 answer the mans questions....name 4 things Magic does better than Lebron?

zymosan123 jus for the fact you said magic is a better REBOUNDER then LEBRON shows me all i need to know about what your player build is in life 😭😭 . i ain’t even gotta read the rest of yo shii 😭

How? The nba is less physical and easier vs magic and lebron era

He’s scared of anyone that might touch MJs legacy. That’s why he hates on Kobe FOR YEARS..

He's gonna need someone to hate once Lebron retires

Ben BoyAEW don’t forget he’s the biggest Lebron hater . I was shocked when he defended Lebron

Because Luka reminds him of LeBron

I bet Luka will have more rings by then.

He most likely won't even be in the league

Hmmm prolly because luka already plays like he is 40

We have time lol

He probably won't be quitting on his team like LeBron did last season.

This is exactly it. This is actually a pro career move from Skip. He makes a living off being against the grain and hating on the best players, he sees Luka as potentially the next face of the NBA and is declaring his position early.

Hope so. Luka not American

Bestiehello wtf?

Nope 2020s skip still hating on Lebron and Lebron right now at 37 is better than doncic

Django Freeman EXACTLY 💯

And obtained a L on each opinion

skip baseless- dak and tebow are special rodgers mahomes aren't.....

Jn Mc Lonzo is special...

Piotr Sieradzki lmao triple singles. Is that a roast?

Larry legend

@Kenny Lafortune he's Nigerian

@Kenny Lafortune he is not ethinic Greek hes Yoruba-Igbo Nigerian.

Blk the don X exodus Larry bird is from the US. “The hick from French lick”. You ever heard that man talk?

@@rolffstone-fist1259 You aren't making sense. Nationality is one thing, ethnicity another. So you are saying LeBron is African then, and Bird is European?

😂😂 He was on First Things First this morning with Nick Wright

Yeah ur the type of person who is called a millennial,fam magic did so much u cant discard it unless luka leads mav to minimum conference finals because of all honestly the league rn is much spread out then back then but still WCF then we can say best ever, other than that historic is what ill call this

@Jordan Bledsoe Magic had Jamal Wilkes, Kareem and an amazing team. Magic was not even an all NBA player until he was 22/23.

You don't hear too well. 😀😀😀
Can't top Magic Johnson, NBA Finals at only 20 years old.

@@tanver14 That makes it even more outstanding. 😀😀😀
They let Magic Johnson take control of the offense as the Floor General.
Not some wing player depending on a pass from somebody else.

@@lunaaryal8745 magic had kareem when they won the chip.

He did it so skip would have to praise bron... high iq play by Sharpe

@@brett8202 Nah Unc is just objective, that's all.

Jon155 yes Lebron objective 😂😂 but I agree with unc on this one

they banned dunking cause of kareem at 20...look it up...hes the best russell was a champion and olympian gold medalist by 20....magic bron wilt?..hello?...every heard of them?..prisoner of the moment...

@@razkable son please. Im talking pure fundemantals and skill. Im not talking about better athletes in a primitive nba. Not saying luka is the better player. Just talking pure fundementals and skill. Come prepared next time

Luka better than Lebron

Jason Andrews Luka, Steve Nash, and Larry Bird were all BAD MANS cuz of how fundamentally sound and skilled they were

Luka played against grown men since 13/14 years old, Lebron came straight from teenagers/HS to grown men/NBA. Lebron more impressive.

@Larry Carter that list is awful

SoosUnknown lol he put iverson wade, and payton over shaq, hakeem, and kareem?😂

I'm not gon say u wrong. I'll say maybe top 20 or 30 just cuz I feel that top 10 is so great that I dont think u can really predict it

trae young has a better record in the last 5 games with a worse team. he scored more points , made more assists and is more efficient. i like luka but he is a overhyped.

Larry Carter 😂😂😂”NOPEEEEE”

Magic at 20 was already an all star, champion and finals MVP.

How old are you?

Luka may average more assist cause he got a better squad with shooters, but lebron is clearly the better passer

@@universaltopics5667 Yeah all those All-Star players that Luka plays with. 🤣 Not only does he have more assists, his court vision and game management is better too.

His game management is better cause his in his 20s while lebron is literally 35 and is still dominating. Also I said he has a better shooting squad not a stacked squad. Y’all really confuse any lebron team that’s successful a superteam.

YOU clearly have started watching basketball last year.

@Jordan Bledsoe What competion? Lamelo Ball 😂

Lets see if he can play on hes 17th..LMAO

Maybe if he stays healthy. I remember Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill who both were as talented as Luka got hurt early in their career and never made it to Mt. Rushmore but both had the talent. It's hard to teach longevity.

Luka is great, but not being a good defender could keep him out of that restricted group of My. Rushmore players. Then, personal opinion, the actual NBA era we are witnessing seems perfect for whoever can stat padding a little bit. They said it right, the League was tougher at Magic and Bird time, now you can't even breathe at the attacker without getting a call.

16 7 lamelo ball is a baller. Dude has limitless range has elite court vision and passing. Has a high basketball IQ. Can finish at the rim well is a unselfish player. Lamelo story is like a 2k storyline lmao. He was in 8th grade basically balling on the best teams in the country with lonzo and liangelo. Lamelo should be a senior. Rn but he moved up a grade. He proceeded to lead chino hills to like 62-0 after lonzo went to college. Then he played professionally then played in his own league and went back to high school like nothing happened. Now he’s playing professionally in the NBl which is a top 5 professional league and is giving grown men the business. Lamelo ball is the real deal.

Finally someone who’s actually logical and has some sense 😂😂 it’s literally impossible to compare eras , like for example the 7 seconds or less suns would rank near the bottom or at the bottom of the league this year in terms of pace . The league is always growing and evolving and getting better and better

Well said!!

yeap but for some reason some people think things like rules, style of play, players biotype or even media coverage is a no factor

@@jamaaldagreatest2748 yeah man lol I'm only 26 but for the longest time I was on that "Nobody will ever be better than Jordan" train. But I just realized how dumb it is. The game is constantly changing and it is becoming easier and easier to score because that's what the fans want. I think there are Goats for different eras but as far as an NBA player that will be considered the best of all time. That's impossible. Like in almost every Sport, just impossible 😂 so these heated debates people get into just make me laugh anymore

And LeBron was born with freak genetics so he does have an advantage. Steph has a grest shooter for a a fathe to teach him since he could hold a ball so he does have an advantage. See where this goes?

Why wouldn't you respect him? He may be Lebron's biggest fan but he still is EXTREMELY level headed.

@@xavierwoodley Bet

He deserves no respect, only reason he is “defending” him is so that he can hate on Luka, his next target for when Lebron retires

Bini LGN I believe luka and Lebron James Jr will be the next targets 😂

@@binilgn5941 stop hating, Skip saix that Luka started growing on him in the video, so he won't hate on him next trust me

15

Devin Kimar assists were easier back in his day tf, That why John Stockton holds the most consecutive seasons with 10 plus assists

Well that depends. What team will he play for?

Less, more agile lengthy guys. Faster pace. Less space for the ball to move.

eventualbard41 that was the same in 80’s no difference meanwhile in the 90’s that’s another discussion

True but he was a seasoned vet at that point

@@fatpatlives1998 he was in his prime

You must not watch basketball, lebron dont play D and hasn't for years

timboslice513 this year he has played defense and at luka age bron was a good defender

guess who Luka as they same defensive ratings as Jrue Holiday, and I get you wouldn’t be saying Holiday plays no D

Magic played just as much D as Luka so that defensive argument is out the window nobody played D at 20.

Magic was and is the best 20yr old of all time unless Luka wins a championship this year.

Not carrying bums but ok

Worthy wasnt there yet and Kareem was hurt when they beat philly

KoBeautiful he don’t carrying bums stop 😂😂

Bumsss????

KoBeautiful , Bums ??? 🤨 Luka team is stacked

THANK YOU!! let him be the first Luka. he's playing lights out right now but all this next Bird and talking as if he better than bron at 20 stuff needs to stop..

@@wavebuurgslim2063 But he is better than LeBron at 20. Bron's biggest fanboy up there even admits it ^

@@drewwomble9231 let me ask you this. you and i are playing 1 game of 2v2 for for our lives you have first pick between Lebron at 20 or Luka as your teammate and i get who you don't pick who is your choice?

Richard Howard what a great way to end a discussion

A lot of 20 year olds were not playing in a playoff game.

Bruh stick to soccer. Or do your research

BoxCat did you magically find a player who is going to win mvp on the Mavericks not name Luka?

BoxCat name some super teams back then that lakers team had to play against ? LEBRON and AD? Kahawi and PG ? Harden and Russ ? Magic had to play those teams nightly in the west ? Does Luka have Kareem as a teammate ? Foh clown

​@@brxndaveli5834 Not saying Luka ain't great but he has the benefit of having to learn from what Magic did. Magic is the first one who did it still and that's why he's better than Luka in my opinion.

That's it luka beats him in everything out

Luka not having defense is a myth. His defense is just not exceptional, that's the only thing people can critique rn. Watch the games, he bodies people up and isn't lax. Watch some of LeBron's footage from his rookie year. Very similar.

Actually no Lebron wasn't a great defender when he came in. He grew into a much better defender. Stop it

LeBron has never had any type of above average defense ever

Drew Womble ur slow Luka is an avg post defender cuz of his size but perimeter Help or shot blocking is horriblw

Yrn TrentonTM he’s beginning to appreciate him knowing he is at the end. That’s all

But the longevity of lebrons career may never be matched only he holds father time in a cage at home

Luka go average 30,10,10. He's better than any age Lebron

russell wilt and kareem at 20 would of eaten the nba alive...too bad they weren't allowed in..

Asmosis Jones I’m not quick to say that , those are all time greats but I think there are way better matchups for them now then the competition they had

2004 lebron put up 27 7 and 7 1.6 and 1 in an era of like 22 less possession a game..
