“If You Don't Double Luka Doncic, it's 50″: Raptors' Fred VanVleet ... (The Sportsrush)

Luka Doncic is the name on everyone's lips this season. The Dallas Mavericks star has not only got fans out of their seats; he's got professional NBA peers ...

In the latest game against the Los Angeles Lakers, he proved he’s a clutch player too. The Toronto Raptors had a game plan in mind. In the first game of the series, Dallas managed to eke out a single-point victory. It’s not that Doncic is the fastest guy on the court. Fred VanVleet, the Raptors’ miracle man and star point guard, has his say on the matter. Luka Doncic is the name on everyone’s lips this season.

Luka Doncic doesn't have time for ranking players from different eras ... (Sir Charles In Charge)

It's time to stop comparing eras in the NBA. After the Dallas Mavericks' thrilling 119-115 double-overtime victory over the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday ...

The game would be in a better place if we had more analysis like Reddick, Iguodala, and Barnes and less of the Skip Bayless’ and Stephen A Smith’s of the world. Before we all do that though, can we first try to appreciate the greatest that LeBron James has left. He has given so much to the game we all love. Circling back to the specific LeBron question Luka was asked a few days ago. Suffice to say, the game has evolved with a heightened focus on the three ball. For instance, a few seasons ago the Los Angeles Lakers won the 2019-20 NBA championship. As previously mentioned, player and team comparison of different eras in any sport are commonplace among fans and sports media outlets. The nine that didn’t all happened in the 90s. Furthermore, [this season there are 24 players who have already eclipsed that number from Bird](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/total-3-pointers-made-this-season-leaders) and we’re only halfway through the season! The irony is obvious – Green states it’s “dumb” to compare eras and then goes on to compare eras with his next tweet. I doubt Luka, or any player in the league for that matter, wants to be headlining First Take, or any sports program of your choosing, with their opinion on the all-time NBA player list as opposed to their team’s performance on the court. It’s important to remember though the discussion is purely hypothetical and comes down to individual preference.
