Luka Doncic has been in exceptional form recently, and his performance in the Dallas Mavericks’ game against the Orlando Magic drew high praise from Jason Kidd. Kidd compared Doncic to basketball greats like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant, stating that Doncic is even better than Dirk Nowitzki.
These comments caused a stir on social media, with fans expressing their disagreement. However, one person who agreed with Kidd’s assessment was Shaquille O’Neal, who shared ESPN’s post about Doncic on his Instagram Story. Despite this, O’Neal had previously surprised many by choosing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over Doncic in terms of skill and teamwork.
While Gilgeous-Alexander is indeed having a fantastic season, Doncic’s individual stats are superior. Both players are likely to feature in the All-Star Game and could potentially make the All-NBA 1st Team at the end of the regular season.
