Now retired, he played at the professional level from 1984-1993, then from 1995- 1998, and finally from 2001-2003. Michael Jordan Michael Jordan is known as ‘Air Jordan’ and ‘His Airness’ because of his impressive leaping ability. LeBron has a field goal percentage of 0.504%, makes an average of 7.3 assists per game, and earns 27.1 points per typical game. Some of his most impressive achievements include: winning two Olympic gold medals, being named the NBA Most Valuable Player four times, being an NBA champion four times, and being named 2020’s Time Athlete of the Year. He started his career in 2003 and is now playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, his fourth professional team. However, for curiosity’s sake, let’s compare some stats and achievements! LEBRON JAMESĪlso known as King James, LeBron James is 37 years old and is still an active player. The excitement value these players have brought to fans and for Lebron’s case is still bringing, will cement them forever regardless of who is actually the best. These legendary players are worth over $1 billion each thanks to their sporting prowess and business ventures.Watching Lebron or Jordan sink a 3- pointer hitting nothing but net is as hype as watching the roulette ball sink into the winning division of the roulette wheel while playing live dealer casino games. However, fellow player LeBron James is also believed to be just as worthy of the title, if not more so. At 34, if he has kept this up, it will be hard to argue he's not as good or better than anyone.In the world of professional basketball, Michael Jordan is considered by many as the GOAT (‘Greatest of All Time’). He'll have to win many championships to pass these guys, but at this point in his career, he's probably already a top-100 NBA player of all time.Įvery year he continues like this will vault him up about 10 spots. Of course, we don't know if he'll be this good his whole career. It's hard to say anyone will ever be as good as James or Jordan, but Doncic is the first guy I've ever seen who makes me wonder. A blowout, unlike anything I've ever seen in a closeout game.
He took the Mavs to the Conference Finals, where they lost against the eventual champions before his rookie deal was over.ĭoncic also cemented his hold on the highest points average in closeout games in NBA history with an incredible 38.3 after he smacked the Suns in a game that was over by halftime with a 57-27 lead. Having him guarantees you a top-10 offense, and his 2019-20 Mavs team even set the record for the most efficient offense ever. His feel for the game is almost as perfect as it could be, and he makes everyone around him significantly better. So it's hard to say either guy had better stats than Luka.ĭoncic passes the eye test when watching him play as he drags his teams to wins, as I've only seen James do. Rebounding was similar as Luka easily outpaced Michael's 5.2 rebounds a game by grabbing 3.3 more. However, Doncic averaged over three assists more than MJ's 4.8. In his first four seasons, MJ averaged a shade under 31 a game, leading Doncic by about four and a half. In rebounding, Doncic again takes the lead with 8.5 to Brons 6.7.Īgainst Jordan, Doncic did not fare so well in the scoring column. But he's averaged eight assists through four seasons while James averaged only 6.5 at the same point in his career. So let's jump the gun and see how he stacks up to the two greatest players in the history of the NBA, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James.Ĭompared to James, Doncic has a similar points-per-game average at this stage of their careers, 26.7 to 26.4. Doncic is already too good to be compared to his young peers and even all but the top four or five players in the league right now.
Luka Doncic just wrapped up his rookie contract and fourth NBA season, and boy, has it been a spectacular start.
