    Default Is Luka Doncic the greatest 20 yrs old ever in NBA history?

    What do you think? He plays like a superstar vet in a 20 years old body.

    I am all high up on Doncic, one of the best players in the league right now.

    But lets not act like he is a rook coming out of college. This guy was balling on a professional team in Europe winning championships at the age of 17.

    When LBJ was 20, the NBA still allowed defense...Luka has said that it's easier to score in the NBA than in the EuroLeague. Let that sink in

    Looks like it, isn't he beating were Magic was around the same age of their NBA careers.

    Not sure about Mannys comment about being better than Jordan at 21. MJs rookie season stat wise is impressive.

    Too early to tell. Lets see how he holds up over the course of a season and the playoffs. Also it is easier to get stats now than it was in past eras.

    Magic won the title at 20 and started at center in the final game of the Finals to replace Kareem and had a monster game. Lebron was a beast at 20.

    Those are the only two I can think of that are legit competition to Doncic at age 20.

    He only started at Center for the tip-off. Then played Guard and Forward the remainder of the game.

    It's a myth that Magic played C when he was on the floor.

    20 year old Doncic is flat out a better basketball player than 21 year MJ that's a fact

    It isn't a myth that he had 42/15/7 and 3 steals (14 of 23 from the field, 14 of 14 from the foul line) in game 7 of the finals at age 20 against a stacked Philly team.

    I realize that, but it wasn't from the Center position.

    Plus, Jamaal Wilkes was LA's leading scorer that game (ended with 37pts) until some intentional fouls at the end of the game put Magic at the free throw line surpassing Wilkes.
