What NBA Players Think of Luka Doncic

Luca Diane church has been giving NBA players buckets ever since he first became part of the big league chances are if your favorite NBA player has played against the Mavs from 2018 to now he's a part of the list as well some players take this to hard and start talking trash about Luca While others give credit where credit's due how is your favorite player matched up against donchic what does he have to say about the Boy Wonder let's see what some of these NBA players think about Luka doncic after he hit a game-winning three against the Grizzlies in April 2021 one of the League's brightest stars and leader of the Memphis Grizzlies John Morant gave us credit to Luca it was a great game for us we were in a position to win but you know Luca made a difficult shot we were trying to force him into the toughest shot possible and he made it won his team the game that's what great players do Luca also hit another really tough shot over jaw in the fourth quarter to which jaw immediately gave props during the game I told him good shot man tough shot and that was probably the best defense I've played all year as all greats do Joss sees Luca's motivation for him to keep pushing and get better each day we can definitely say that the League's in good hands one of the League's most likable players is definitely the gentle giant boban marianovic him and Luca have played together for the Mavs for three seasons and he's one of Luca's favorite teammates ever after a clash between the Mavs and the rockets in November of 2022 a reporter asked bobon if he thought Luca had gotten even better than the 2021-22 season Luke is always great always the best he's doing things that nobody else can do what he's doing I don't know another person that can do that I don't say this because he's my friend he's a really good friend to me but you know it's true I support him with all my heart that's my guy right there Moby's truly a special guy The Joker is one of the most exciting players to watch right now and just like Luca you'd think that the game moves slower for him than it does for us jokic is known for his amazing Court vision and scoring abilities but also his lack of athleticism skills that he and Luca both have or lack thereof off the court we're doing a pretty good job but we're going to see on the court I don't know how we're going to do it because he's not athletic I'm not athletic so I don't know how we're going to match yoke it's jokingly said about teaming up with Luca for the 2022 All-Star Game Luca hasn't kept much of a secret about wanting to team up with jokic and says that he knows he does as well one of the League's best talents coming from the Balkan Peninsula one of the biggest NBA memes is definitely Luka doncic laughing in Devin Booker's face while humiliating him in game 7 of the 2022 Western Conference semi-finals in game 5 of that series Booker taught some massive trash to Luca when asked about Luca and how the sun's plan on guarding him Booker and CP3 laughed it off as if they were asked about a role player it was clear that Booker lacked respect for Luca and his game Luca wasn't really touched by this as he said that it's easier to act tough when you're up in the last two games of the series Luca did some of the biggest damage in recent playoff history beating the 64-win Suns team in humiliating fashion knocking them out of the playoffs after game seven Booker apologized to Luca for the trash talking he did and wished him good luck for the remainder of the playoffs one thing's for sure it's better to give props to Luca than to trash talk it Miami Heat's nicoliovich as one of the rising talents in the league right now being from Serbia his game is based around the same ex Yugoslavia style of play as Luka doncic's game in his Draft Day interview jovich gave credit to Luca as one of the players he modeled this game after watch a little bit of everyone whether it's Luka doncic in the pick and roll Nicola jokic in the low post or Jimmy Butler's defense something from everyone we'll be watching how this young big man's game develops in the future but he sure is on a good path so far Chicago Bulls point guard and a teammate of Luca in the Slovenian basketball team NBA veteran Goron dragic has had high prey of Luka doncic they won the Euro Basket in 2017 and Slovenia was put on the map in the basketball World Goron dragic knows that their team was weaker under the basket for the 2022 Euro basket but one of the key differences was that Luka doncic was no longer an 18 year old think he's the best player in the world he's 23 years old and he's playing like a veteran he could score even 40 points every game he puts the game at his rhythm he's very big he can shoot he can pass he can rebound I don't know what else we can say about Luca he's like an astronaut I think he could be the best player in history he's still very young but if he stays healthy and plays a long time I think that by the end of his career he could be the best ever dragic's only wishes that he could be younger so he could enjoy more playing time with Luca I wish I was younger so I could play more time with him we've only played one eurobasket together this is the second time I'm 36. Luke is in his prime but I'm enjoying every moment Luca and Dragons were the two best scores for Slovenia in the Euros leading then to the quarterfinals where they were disappointingly knocked out by Poland Bogue Don bogdanovic another basketball star from the ex Yugoslavian area had a similar path to the NBA to Lucas he dominated the Euroleague for seven seasons and in the meantime he was drafted 27th overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 2014 NBA draft joining them in 2017 Luca and bogdon have had a rivalry of their own in the fibo world as both of them are leaders of their national teams when asked about Luca bogdanovic shared a few quick Thoughts with the reporters I like the way it played as you can see European basketball is on a way different level right now I think the European players are adjusting quickly and faster than players before now you're able to see those things see the rules and see everything if you're smart you can just catch up quickly and he's definitely smart somebody that's always going to have Luca in his head is definitely DeAndre ayton the big man was taken with the number one overall pick in the 2018 draft and although the conversation is always going to be about Trey young and Luka doncic ayton is often underestimated and somewhat underrated due to being taken first instead of Luca nevertheless DeAndre has steadily grown into one of the League's best centers and does not want to be jealous or mad at Luka doncic unlike some of his teammates Devin Booker in his rookie season while Luca was leading the race for the Rookie of the Year award DeAndre gave his props to Luca I watch his games all the time he's a beast when I first saw him I was like oh what the heck there's no way that he's a rookie this is what I say sometimes when I watch him play he's been there before he's been in situations like these off the court the two youngsters share the same agency Bill Duffy's BDA Sport and it's through that agency that the two developed a friendship between each other a great thing to see in today's day and age after facing Luca and the Mavs in January 2020 then Chicago Bulls big man Larry markinen didn't hold back his appreciation of Luka Don Chichen his post-game interview he's unbelievable obviously he's having a great year playing at a very high level having a lot of confidence he seems to be enjoying the game so much he's doing a really great job another European big man who was also a teammate of Luca is kristaps porzingis their time together wasn't as successful as we hoped it would be as there were rumors about the two young Stars having a difficult relationship between each other Luca and kristops have both denied these claims and say that it's nothing but respect between them Christophe shared a couple of praising words for Luca he's just a natural-born talent he was born for this to see the things he's capable of doing on a basketball court is just insane and it's not something he thinks about he just plays instinctively and it comes natural to him so it's really cool to play with a high level basketball player like him if both players stay healthy they should be playing in the league for a long time and as fans let's just hope they give us more memories as Rivals than they did as teammates Damian Lillard is one of the realest players there is he can both talk highly or talk trash about you depending on what you ask for he's one of Lucas fans and has given him credit for his greatness and capability on a couple of occasions in a loss against the Mavs in November 2022 Dame said he's a tough cover he's crafty getting a lot of foul calls he's going to the post and you've got a lot of action to keep him moving and the guys around him spreading out he's always playing for matchups and he's definitely a tough cover game recognizes game given how Don chich has been cooking NBA players left and right we'll be talking about him for a long time one lesson every player should take note of don't ever Trash Talk Luca because you can't back it up no doubt you'll get schooled and humiliated in front of thousands of Watchers next time you meet him so you're probably better off just giving him his props and appreciating his greatness
