    Luka is definitely more comparable to Harden/Manu than Bird. He has Manu’s creativity and Harden’s strength & handle. Better passing vision than either tbh. Too bad he doesn’t have either of their outside shooting yet

    The NBA may be soft. But no other young highly touted draft pick in recent years is doing what Luka has done by his second season in the league. Not Simmons, not Tatum, not Ingram, not Trae, not Wiggins, certainly not Lonzo, and Zion and Ja aren’t going to do that next season. 29/9/9 and it’s not stat padding on a bad team. The team actually needs him to produce like that to win. A pussified NBA or not, what Luka is doing is historic. It’s the type of production Russ and Harden put up after 8, 9 years in the league. The only historical comparables are Oscar, LeBron. Not even Magic or Larry. And when you compare second seasons, realize Oscar and LeBron were playing 42+ minutes a game in their seasons, while Luka is doing this in just under 34 minutes a game.

    Luka has a long way to go to be legitimately mentioned with some of the all time greats. But if we go by what he’s done to this point, at his age and by his second season in the league, the only worthy comparisons are Oscar and LeBron. And that’s saying a lot about his potential career trajectory, pussified NBA or not.
    All of this ...100%.
    magic and Bird may have reached greater heights especoally in his rookie Finals game 6. Bird won MVP early ...but Luka doing historic numbers.

    So Magic with a jump shot

    For the record, Magic started at the C, he didn't play C the whole game, that myth needs to die
    And when did Earvin play D?

    And despite not playing PG, Bird was still a better passer than Magic
    He played C most of the game and baby hooked the out of the sixers.
    And he played D down low which he was good at.

    Magic learned to hit the 3 and was it was a weapon.
    No comparison.

    Magic could really play ANY position.

    no he didn’t play center the whole game stop


    and imagine Magic playing 48 minutes against Moses Malone or Hakeem

    Bird played with a bad elbow in 85 / Stern stealing Game 5 out of Boston midseason.

    In 87 it took a bad out of bounds call to set up that hook shot winner.

    Bird really should've been 3-0 against Tragic all things being equal.

    He should've idolized Bird. He might be a more clutch shooter.
