*stephen A before Lukas draft*
“THE SUNS BETTER NOT MESS THIS UP. DRAFT AYTON I DONT CARE WHAT THE EUROPEAN KID DID”
*Stephen A now*
“LUKA IS A GLOBAL ICON”
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ayton still averages 20 & 12 almost 2 blocks
Luker*
So what? He was wrong. U want him to compound being wrong by denying how great Luka is now?
@@MikeD32784 yes. it makes for better tv when you have to stick to your guy and get humilated by the other host. its fun to watch that embarassment. no ones likes to watch a bandwagon dude (the youtube comments section)
I’ll take the guy who’s an MVP candidate in his 2nd year
I would as well but lets not act like zion isnt a rookie playing less then 30 mintues a game averaging what hes averaging.
Zion was @MVP candidate in his 2nd game
Zion cold but I’ll give it to luka he can kill you in more ways in the future the nba will be in great hands
He was an MVP candidate for some months. Not even top 5 now.
I'm surprised nobody brought up Porzingis or Mark Cuban. That gives Luka an advantage too.
Stephen A called Luka a "brother" so that just shows you how big his game is.
Lol it does 🤪 why tho , this I gotta hear
Doesnt count. Hes late to the party. Its easy to good things bout someone after he became a star.
FACTS
RAZGR1Z I love it I Remember him saying the Suns and Kings should take the no brainer picks in Ayton and Bagley over a slow unproven pg in Europe 😂😂😂
Oh yeah he definitely invited to da barbeque 😂
luka looks like a vet on the court he controls the temp of the whole game it’s amazing for how young he is
Exactly.... People focus on dunks, aggression and points scored when it comes to Zion. Luka is a facilitator and pace controller of the game. It takes more skill and iq to do that at his age.
It is amazing but its actualy not surprising at all bcz he playd for one of biggest eu teams if not the biggest he playd in extremly big games championship games and in crazy hard atmospheres to play since he was 16
Luka is young only in Age. The man has been a pro and led s team to Euro league at 18.
Luka looked like a 7 year vet IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON!
also historically the best players are usually Big (as in tall because girth matters far less in basketball then height) for there position or they are the average height for there position.
the only Exceptions in the Modern Era was Isaiah Thomas and Dwayne Wade (barkley and Iverson no rings). if you look at the rest of the hall of fame champions its:
Michael Jordan 6'6 2 guard perfect
Kobe Bryant 6'7 2 guard perfect
Lebron James 6'8 Small Forward
Magic 6'9 point guard
Kareem 7' Center
Shaq 7'1 Center
Wilt 7'1 Center
Hakeem 6'11 Center
Bird 6'8 Small Forward
Duncan 6'11 Power forward/Center
as you go down the list you will notice all Point guards are 6-6'3+, 2 guards 6'5 +, Small Forwards 6'7+, power forwards 6'9+, Centers 6'10+ no NBA team has ever been lead to a championship by an undersized (again size meaning height not weight) player outside of IT and Dwade. Ben wallace did not lead the pistons.
Jason U curry?
Anyone taking Zion over Luka *_right now_* is lying to everyone and themselves. Zion is amazing but Luka is playing at an MVP level. He creates his own game, and Zion has to rely on his teammates at this moment. Ask this question again in a couple years.
Thank you for knowing your basketball it’s to early to compare
Luka has the highest PER since wilt chamberlain I saw this video and it shows the PER of every single player Wilt was the highest Luka past him plus Luka is blocking Lebron’s shoots like come on your right
in a couple years when zion atleticism has gone down and luka is more seasoned on the nba ? lmao theres levels to this
ppl forget that Luka is an actual MVP
Rick carisell
Im taking the guy whos averaging 29-9-9 at 20....
@Toxic Gaming no he isnt. He plays nothing like lebron
Zion is the next Zion can’t compare him to nobody rn Lebron actually dribbled to create his own shot while Zion mostly use strength and athleticism to get his shots up
Toxic Gaming thats stupid... Zion is not a playmaker at all he doesnt run the team one bit. Nothing like Lebron except for the strength and athleticism
@Toxic Gaming who told u that? zion cant play defense
@Toxic Gaming Why does this gen always want to compare others? Don't let the media think for you. Lets just accept individual greatness within itself 😳
Luka’s been getting buckets since the season started and just played in the all star game. Zion literally just started playing. Stop doing drugs
Ryan Brown stay off the weeeed 😂😂😂
Luka be hurt every other game
feel like luka gonna have a longer career. zion is fun to watch but for how long can he play like that.
Cheng Saechao cant stop doubting can u smh
Cheng Saechao I agree with the fact that Luka will have a long career but why are you doubting that Zion won’t play like that for long?
I understand what max is coming from with Zion having more of an upside. But come on, Luka has it all!
yeah really upside doen't get higher than lukas to be honest. okay so he won't win a dunk contest but when was the last time a good player even cared about that? lol
Except defense and athleticism
Gaiusx2 touché
Aaron Acosta he doesn’t tho, more athletic doesn’t mean higher upside
OrZo Eeece it’s not that he’s more athletic, it’s just he’s bullying grown nba players and scoring 25 every night without a strong mid range and 3 pointer. Develop that and zions very scary. But Luka already has that minus defense and he’s a little slow but Luka is either done developing or has a little bit more as I don’t really know besides defense and speed that Luka has to work on
No disrespect to my boy Zion but Luka is whole another level. These clowns can’t see what Luka is doing rn. Big respect to Zion tho
Ujri
Zion is 100x player over hyped Luka is
@@usmans9274 explain how please?
@@guydutoit61 no need too. Luka way too overhyped.
@@usmans9274 Luka was too overhyped?😂he was selected 3rd overall opposed to Zion 1st, Luka was EuroLeague MVP at 17-18 years old.. he’s barely 21 and he’s already a 1st team all NBA member😂
Think you need to start actually watching the NBA my friend.
Luka gunna be doing this till he’s 50, Zion depends on his elite athleticism that will fade with age, not to mention luka fits today’s game better
caleb scott yet every other week Luka has some kind of injury. He is going to turn out like Kyrie.
Nobody playing until 50, STFU clown
Courtney Sutherlin Who you calling a clown COURTNEY lmao
@@blowc1612 so he is gonna be a champ? I'm fine with that lmao
@@blowc1612 but Luka is still the safer option here. Zion is one big Mac away from a career ending injury. God forbid but if Zion's Achilles torn he'll never be the same and he's at more risk compared to luka
Zion already walkin around like he’s had two hip replacements.
Bruh!🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:11 Max's face when Molly cuts him off LOL
He always mad when Molly Speaks and he is right about it
CJay C yoo😂 he was pissed
Max is all of us!
she never cuts off steven A. or Jay will
It really does seem like everyone hates molly .
"a little better version of this"
Better than a walking 30 point triple double???
Luka is the answer here hands down!
SHAKE WEIGHT You want a player that can win you Chips not give you stats. Westbrook was a walking triple double and never got out of the 1st round. Plus Luka is a bad outside shooter.
@@blowc1612 havent seen zion carrying in the clutch yet tho, luka since his rookie season been proving hes a winner
@Don Jon they had a similar record and have been winning just a bit more lol, i'm not saying Zion does not make an impact btw, he's a beast, but he still hasnt shown himself on the clutch, maybe it's because of BI or Jrue's ball dominance but can't say his clutch without him doing stuff
Luka could carry a bad team..
. Zion needs to be by the rim to score
@Angelo Amon bad outside shooter? now you prove me that the word stupidity came when you were born
I can never get tired of SAS saying: "I disagree and here's why" - 😂
Zion has been great but ESPN has been praising him as if he’s averaging a 40 point triple double and is the second coming of Jesus
They overhype Luka 1000x more lol. He lost in 1st round playoffs to a team the Denver Nuggets beat lol, definitely overhyped.
@@usmans9274 stop it
😂😂
I think they are laughing backstage with Max when they bring this on the table.
''And you will say that you are gonna pick Zion!''
-''come on i can't even defend that statement''
-''You can try we need to make a video about zion''
George Kalokairinos Zion is better than Luka. Hard to be a PG and can’t shoot 3s
Angelo Amon he might not even be better then ja let alone luka
@@blowc1612 do you even watch the NBA? Luka is deadly at 3. You're probably looking at his step back 3 percentage which even harden is low at
Darian Bp 🤦♂️ Zion is averaging better as a rookie than Luka did. He has better win % too... Ja is an overrated rookie who will be forgotten in a couple of years.Ja highlights are missed dunks that were offensive fouls.
@@blowc1612 missed dunks? Do you just watch espn lmao
Luka is better skill wise and health wise.
Limited Boards Luker*
Limited Boards Luka is a ballhandler, a backcourt player, a guard!!!!!! He’s not a better finisher, rebounder or protects the paint better BECAUSE HE IS NOT A BIG!!!!!!!!
Health wise?? Luca has had reoccurring ankle injuries Zion had 1 bad injury and the team took precautions to keep him healthy. Right now Zions already a post threat at 19 and 6'7 🤷🏿♂️. More games his weight will deal with itself.
Luka is better overall
It's the health that separates them imagine Zion on a super max you would have a heart attack every time he went to dunk
This is coming from the guy who said luka Doncic was a european scrub before the draft. Shame on you Stephen A.
I mean people are wrong and he's admitted to it. Relax
Get over it
bruh that only show how good doncic is, everybody in the nba media was wrong except will cain and now everybody loves luka, theres nothing wrong with seeing your mistake and correcting your take
Dogg 😂 😂
You right. Stephan was wrong.
Jay williams gave an instance of Luka Doncic playing with an injured leg and still play great. This just happened in the Clippers series. Kid is a beast.
Zion has so far played like 15 games 💀 this is such a dumb topic and hella overrated right now
zeke soto the meat riders will ride
U can’t say he is overrated and averaging 24
BallisticNation he’s overrated because he hasn’t even played a full season yet
BallisticNation why not? He has literally just played 15 games so who is to say he hasn’t just had an easy schedule or that he has been a bit flukey? Overrated doesn’t mean the player is awful, it just means they aren’t as good as they are being made out to be. They can easily become that person too if they develop which zion can! Luka is an MVP candidate though and has done it the whole season, zion hasn’t and isn’t as good as luka rn.
Fax
Luka is proven to be MVP candidate
Zion is a rookie and plays less then 30 minutes a game averaging what hes averaging. Stop the bs lmfao zion is 2 years younger with a greater impact in less minutes.
Greater impact?
@@vjekoslavjurak7141 lol this guy must not realize how hard 29-9-9 actually is. I'm not even saying I rather have one over the other. But, he's a clown if he thinks Zion is being more productive than Luka. Zion is also playing with an All-nba caliber SG, an all-star SF, and a rising PG who fits perfectly with his game.
zType LMAOO Luka literally has records that Zion will never see the day to get close to what he did. Once Zion gets a 35 pt triple double in under 30 mins played and no 4th quarter lmk.
Fernando just wait he’s rookie and Luka had all these records in his rookie year ?
As a Bulls fan I guess I'd be happy with either one.
The Jordan curse will never die.
VoidSurfer9 if you lived that era it’s enough to last a life time
same here...pistons fan jaja
Same
Hahahaha. Right. I'm a Bulls fan too. Give us a healthy young D Rose type player.
Luka is the type of player that can be the best player on a championship team. Zion needs people to set him up. Can’t create his own shot. Luka all day
Ryan Arroyo he can create idiot
@@thegoatbam446 Why idiots always call others idiots?
Shaq and Tim Duncan both had to be “fed” the ball, and have four championships each.
@@mrjonsey Tim has 5.
I mean he can create on the post, but he can't shoot off the dribble.
Max welcomes Luka into the brotherhood: “Luka is a gangster!“ 😭
The Don
Into the brotherhood?
You kids realize that the term "gangster" originates from Italian mafia mobs? You better be talking about the Italian brotherhood xD
@@wonderlandian8465la cosa nostra
I love Zion and I love his game! But Luka can really do it all. He makes his teammates better players an anybody he plays with better!
who has luka made better. A lot of uneducated fans who have falsely bought into luka hype say this because its catchy. As someone who's watched 50 mavs games this year i can tell you its simply not the case. Please give me one example of a guy who plays better when sharing the court with luka. Every time luka is out kp goes off, hardaway jr goes off, curry goes off, etc. they all shine when the ball isn't being dominated the whole game by luka
Luka shoots like 32% from 3 and like 70% from the line. So, no he can’t do it all
NBA BOI he averages 7.1 assists a game if that isn’t making your team better you don’t know basketball Over a guy who averages 2.2 and majority of the game just dunks cause he has a big body barely seen much of a jump shot or him shoot of a dribble but meat ride it’s ight
Michael Brown imagine thinking 3 pointers is everything thats that young folk mentality
@@mrb532 Watch the games, he takes tons of tough shots from 3. He doesnt brick wide open shots.
Nobody:
Stephen A: “Ok now that’s number 1... number 2......
Lmao
Jay Williams is spot on about luka playing injured after watching his 40 point TRIPLE DOUBLE against the flippers with a sprained ankle WITHOUT the Unicorn.
Luka Magic is the truth i don't care what anyone says.
Luka better
Julian Coates bruh as a mavs fan. A diehard mavs fan, I might take Zion
Luka will have a longer career
Gamer Life I think if Zion started the season not injured, then We would be in about the same situation. Maybe dare I say better position.
Superpaul205 but the pelicans are in the same playoff position before Zion was in the lineup? 🤔
@@Superpaul205 sonce zion came back yall are 8-8. Wheres the proof yall would be in the playoffs
Remember when Stephen A. said
"i dont care who that kid is"
to Luka..
Wow, first time I've EVER agreed with SAS!!! And, one of the only times he's been right. LUKA is all around, BALLER - Zion gonna be good though!
0:48 Stephen A chilling on his phone while Max rambles has me dead ☠️
Shreyas Madhavan yet he says dumber things than Max
@@shinsukecorbin425 If you actually believe that Max had a better argument here then I really don't know what to say my guy. 🤷🏼♀️ Scroll through the comments, I'm sure you'll see more people on Stephen A's side than Max's. Not saying you can't have your own opinion but the general consensus sure does mean something.
Stephen A showing love to an overseas player?
Sandro da Silva how can you not? this kid’s insane
He also gives love to gianis. You think gianis is american? Think again lol
He has to in this particular debate.
Max has made himself the “Zion guy” on first take.
If you really asked Stephen A I bet he would take Zion.
That’s some CHEESE
@@frankmaxwell2699 i literaly thought the same if stephen went first he wouldve said zion and max luka
Luka shows that he can be MVP in his second season already
Who said won't be in talks next year
Khoa Do so can Zion he’s playin great already better numbers than what luka had in his rookie season
Zion may be in the MVP convo next year if he stays healthy
J P Lmaoo hes still top 3 in the mvp race bro
Cameron Wilson he’s putting up better numbers in a smaller sample sizes lol ... let’s see if Zion can keep this up all 82 games for once
I’m taking Luka any day
C Bennett lmao why they comparing him to Luka yet he can surpass him but they need to slow down
On a date? Aww so cute.
"Zion has a lot of room to grow"... 2022 Zion grew 😂
I'll take skills and I.Q. over athleticism anyday
Thomas D Zion is a very skilled player
@@kobeforever-hokage5471 somewhat
Ah so you the type to agree with harden saying Giannis ain’t got skill lol it takes IQ to be a big man too and skill. Don’t do Zion like that fam.
Zion has all 3 of those...
@@xLamont_ learn the difference between skill and talent! 😒😒 you can be a great player without being skillful, stop acting as if zion is kyrie. Theres nothing wrong with not being skillful
At the moment in there careers i would to. not saying in two years i’d think different but Luka’s Iq is miles ahead of zions imo.
Not really tho, Luka takes a lot of bad shots, mean while Zion shot 58% in the admittedly small sample size of games he’s played. Zion has shown he already knows how to properly post up and read the defense from the post. his defensive instincts are also a lot stronger then Luka’s at this point. Luka is by far the better passer but A. He’s the main ball handler so hopefully he would be pretty good at that and B. Zion isn’t a bad passer, he can def read the floor. So I don’t think there’s really a big argument for one player having a significantly greater iq than the other when we consider both sides of the ball.
Luka has had Lebron's passing ability since his rookie year, and is now a triple double machine. His rebounding is just as good as Zion's as well. Not even a contest.
Luka rebound like a center while zion rebounds like a point guard who's 6'1 he's a big man.. Should have use his size lol
@Mike Oxlong Luka is not as tall or athletic, but he is skilled passer like Jokic and gets more assists than LeBron in his first three years.
@Mike Oxlong he has though did you see his passes
It’s better than Zion’s rebounding
Don’t ever mention Zion with Jordan and Lebron in the same sentence 😂
Eric Willan bro the man only played 17 games and I highly doubt the pelicans are ever gonna win a championship in the next decade
What if Im talkin about black guys
Shawn Breezo 19*
@Eric Willan Really man? Better than Lebron? Gtfoh
Love the fact that it’s zion and Luka I could listen to this same comparison for the next 15 years happily
No comparison
Can't believe I'm saying this but that was a great talking point by molly
luka is gonna be an mvp and win a ring and he’s a basketball genius
Zion is gonna be MVP and win a ring. And he's a basketball genius ..
@@scopes1fan347 Zion is not leading a bad team to the playoffs tho.. majority of his points come from good passes by his teammates and he just lays it in or dunk
Scopes #1 Fan Basketball genius dont rely on forcing layups and dunks with no other skills
Scopes #1 Fan Zion doesn’t have Lukas basketball IQ and if you think he does your an idiot
Smartest thing Stephen A has said this year
2:06 Stephen A calls Luka a brotha lol
They always have to disagree or else they wouldn’t have a show.
It's a tough question because they both play 2 different positions but I'm taking Luka all day every day I'm taking skill over physic 10 out of 10 times Zion is still the truth tho but Luka is on another level!
Mr Q Ceaz so would you take Trae over Zion?
@givenemTruth Son he doesn't have skill like Luka if Zion loss 50 lbs idk if he would be as dominant as he is now so if you're basically saying that I said he didn't have any skill then it is what it is🤷🏾♂️
@@blowc1612 that's a tough one right there but right now yes I would Trae has ice water in his veins & he is a little more healthier ask me again next year tho my answer might change
@Careful! i'm a retard well of course not I love watching Zion so I wouldn't want him to lose that much weight I'm just saying if he did lose weight idk what other skills he has that would wow me Luka has skills that we've rarely seen before & he's only 20-21 years old
@Don Jon passing, ball handling, decision making, leadership, court vision, clutch gene need me to keep goin?
Talk about how the ncaa tries to ruin careers with these suspensions James wiseman as an example
Jalen Williams They did....but that’s old news, that happened months ago
Mr. 4th Quarter it still dropped his draft stock
6:12 max is so fed up with molly :D
6:14 max is tired of molly interrupting him🤦🏾♂️😂😂
I think it’s unfair to compare a 2nd year guy with a guy whose played less than 20 games
I'd take rookie luka over rookie Zion so doesnt really change anything
“Lukas large too” 😂
“I disagree with you” he knew he’ll start like that waking up in bed this morning
He’s a point gaaaawd
Y’all have too stop this let’s keep everything 💯 Zion is another Shawn Kemp I get it everyone is excited that a 19 year old is built like that and dunking with force. but he’s not better than luka you can start a franchise right now with luka you can’t do that with Zion🤷🏾♂️he’s box office off his athleticism that’s about it. Luka is overall better than Zion
Another comparison is Blake Griffin
y’all really picking luka over zion? luka has been playing professionally since he was 16. he’s had many years to master his craft. zion is on another tier. he has already had a better rookie season than lebron so far. he is 19 and is literally bullying grown men. this kid is the next big thing. he will be the best player in the league in years to come and will make history. mark my words!
This aged well
He literally said last week he would take Zion and Jayson Tatum over Luka.
He didnt, je said tatum could overtake zion if he continues
@Dooky he did lol if you watch the full segments, Jay Will asked SAS that what 2 players under the age of 25 he would take first to start his franchise. He said Zion first obviously, then said Tatum over Luka because he plays defense.
@Dooky he did though, it's on video too
That’s out of context, it’s not exactly what he said
I would take Tatum and Zion over Luka, is that even a question? 2 potential stars v 1 star
I wonder if it bothers Max that they don't make eye contact with him when he's talking lol
Other paths to the NBA are becoming more popular but college basketball is not dying
Any time !
I thought that Stephen A would take Zion cause he is THAT BROTHER
Nobody noticed the fact that Molly brought up good questions
Everybody talking bout how Zion gonna be an all time great, I love watching him play but if doesn't lose some weight his knees will be jelly in a few years.
Exactly 280 at age 19 is borderline not a good thing.
jordan wasn't a psysical freak just for his vertical ability ..during the 87-90 period his quickness was godlike and during 91-93 he built more mass and became super strong..especially for his size..there was one time where he dunked on barkley so hard that it was like he KOed him
This is the best argument SAS has ever made in his career
5:28 facts
@eoe123321 States that don't have professional teams or have teams that suck love college sports.
Luka is lethal as is. Zion is, well, we'll have to see
Exactly he hasnt played long enough maybe wait until the playoffs to start asking questions like that
I guess but I think they’re underestimating Luka’s ceiling. Yea he’s doing crazy numbers. But he really is only 20 years old. He can get better too. Not just Zion.
And neither have reached their prime yet
Max- "Luka is a gangster!" Lol
He is , he said it's easier to score in the NBA... While in the NBA 😎
I haven't seen enough of Zion at this point because he hasn't played enough games yet so I'm going with Luka on this one.
Joe Jennings that’s a fair take than everyone else take here. But Zion can turn into a dominant player as Giannis is but with a better shot.
6:14 Max's face when Molly starts interrupting him again.. LMAO
Americans still sleep on the European even when he’s like 2nd 3rd 4th around that in MVP voting
He is definetly not 2nd OR 3rd in the MVP race his team is like 7th in west. Stop It.
Gabriel Lyles ok maybe that’s a little high but I’d still say he’s like 4th atleast
Liam I mean in their defence 2/3 picked Luka Doncic in this segment what more do you want them to do
Liam Luka is no longer a top 5 MVP. Giannis Lebron Tatum Westbrook Harden and AD are all ahead of him at this point. Can’t have a 7th seed in the MVP race.
d m how tf they sleep on him when 2/3 said they would pick him😂😂😂😂😂
When Zion gets a jump shot he gon average 🗣FORTY!!!!! In my SAS voice
"When Simmons develops a 3 point shot, he'll be an MVP candidate"... If you don't have one by 21, chances are you will never have one. It CAN happen, but rarely. These analysts say it like everyone can just suddenly get a new skill in their 20s. You don't think their high school coaches tried teaching them a mid-range jumper?
@@Paulafan5 well said
And if I get a jump shot I'd be in the nba....
Ziom Avg 40?? YEAH OK
KIds these days SMH
DreDaGr8$ no he wouldn’t.... 🤣🤣🤣
"Eastern Europe" come on Molly do some research for once Slovenia is not in Eastern Europe and never was! It's in Central Europe and always has beenA
Why do people get offended by being categorized as Eastern European?
@@firmbodyval4536 I don't know as I am not from Eastern Europe. It offends me that she says something that is not true and millions of people will watch and see...
FirmBodyVal the difference between eastern asia and western asia is big it might be the same for Europe
It may have been meant as a cultural, political, and economic space, rather than as a geographical space.He has a Balkan charisma that helps him win.He is not afraid of difficult stressful situations.
Smart man
Stephen A definitely looks in a crystal ball before entering the set
“You’re smoking crack” - Stephen A Smith
To me, even though I never watched basketball pre 2010’s... it feels weird When we start differentiating talents between Magic/Bird/Shaq/Jordan/Etc...? They’re all one of a kind talents. I thought Professionals sport analyst knew that
Luka deserves to be in that conversation
His game gets better in the playoffs. He went from 29,9,9 in his 3rd year to 36,10,9 in the playoffs
This is the ceiling for Zion. Zion will never have a jumpshot. I don’t even know if he has 5 years in this weight
Never will have a jumpshot... LOLOL Why??
Moe Shak this is his ceiling? Lmao just stop bro.
Everyones been saying Simmons will develop a jump shot next season for the last few years
What are u talking about he can develop a jump shot like LeBron and tf😂
You need two players like this to stay healthy to win these days.
impressed with molly doing a good job moderating and actually adding value to the discussion without being annoying
Zion. He averaging 24 with only a postup game... 😂😂 sky is the limit for Z.
Yessir get that man some knee massages and a ball handle then it's gg
24 with superb efficiency, with only 2 post moves, out of shape, minutes restriction, hardly play calls if any, a one dimensional game, an NBA baby in terms of experience, and an untapped jumper, the sky might not even be the limit for Zion...
Hes gonna only have a post game his whole career
@@Iaintsayinnothin.. people said the same about shaq and compared him to divac.. look where shaq is now...eurepean exports just gets lost in the mix..they are not durable for the nba..wait till luka gets double teamed next season.. they will just bully him...and his rebounding number are just going to reduce.. half his rebounds are soo easy .. none of them are contested... plays zero D...lol..zions a different breed.
@@sunny9051 i guess the clippers don't know how to double...
Luka will be the face of the league within 5 years.
giannis is 24. are u nuts? LOL
ChangeHumanity cap
No he won't, Zion will.
Die hard Mavericks fan here, Giannis is probably gonna be the face, but Luka will be big time. You better believe it.
John Rezo ur name is John lmaoooo
For now, I'm going with Luka 🙌🏻
Luka’s a killer he’s gonna work on his game till he can’t anymore😤🙌
I dont think there is a wrong answer if you dont consider injury concerns. The future of the nba looks as bright as ever as long as these young players stay healthy
Obviously. He's literally better at everything other than the vertical leap
Not defense and not slashing. Zion has a future with caring the team on offense and defense. Luka can't do that he is staying still good though.
@@tsionalemu135 Luka is nearly averaging a 30 point triple double he doesn't need athleticism. And Actually Luka is the better slasher too because Zion doesn't slash he plays bullyball and relies on his strength. Luka is better inside than Zion is outside. Put it this way, Luka is a better defender than Harden yet the Rockets make the playoffs every year based on offense alone so i think Luka has everything he needs to succeed. But let's scratch all that for a sec, are you telling me that Zion is better than Luka?
SSA INVINCIBLEx I agree. Luka is definitely a better slasher.
lmao that’s so true what he said at the end colleges do nothing for the players but give them a place to play
shaq lost 2004, lebron no need to count his losses, it is not always about being freak, mostly it is about team, and its leader's heart and competitiiveness. Look kobe and duncan won more titles than shaq, steph has a better record vs lebron. you can't tell these guys freaks, yet they have better final results
Stephen A. used to say that the Suns should draft Ayton over Luka back in 2018 and called Luka "that kid from Europe".
After Luka won rookie of the year and shut his hateful mouth, he chooses him over Zion. Man what a clown.
First take directors: "Let's spice this up a bit...Max, you take Zion and you Stephen A. take Luka...go, go, go"
Pretty much. Its a debate. Like politicians, a lot of them dont believe the stuff they say.
Stephen A a lot of know's why you will choose luka over Zion but who God bless no man curse.Zion is the NBA'S Sampson.
I'm tracking.
Zion being gassed so much like yes he’s an amazing player but he will never be better then luka
He already is
6ft 2hunnid No he is not😂 and tonight just showed how gassed Zion was, he needs to get in shape and then we will see. I do love me some Zion though
Zion will be an Icon. Luka will be another Nowitzki. Luka won’t be able to bring more fans to basketball because shooting isn’t interesting. Soccer will be more watched if NBA is just shooting.
Look at Leo Messi 144million followers on instagram while Lebron only 60 mil LMAO!
Myny Ramos Soccer is already more watched....
Luka not even a question. Zion is just the next Blake Griffin
Antonio Renteria Zion way better than Blake
Quincee Perry now he is because blake is old and paint heavy player who are old usually do bad on their last 5-6 years
... Noted.
That cover for Luca is gold
Me: looks at title
Yeah I would 100% to
Luka has a better game than Zion, longevity is sketchy with Zion's play physique
Zion is perfect for the Icy Hot commercials...
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
4 seconds into the video I’m already cackling @ Steven A’s face in reaction to Max😭😂
oh my god how is this a question
Gotta kill time until the playoffs somehow. But then again, ESPN is asking stupid questions all the time.
ESPN just had spike segment because he had to take a different entrance 😂 they hurting for content
