Lakers’ LeBron James Names Mavs’ Luka Doncic As Favorite Player During Q&A
Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is very familiar with the “crazy” things that Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic can do with basketball. On Sunday, he saw it in the Mavs’ Game 7 win over the Phoenix Suns.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Curry shared his thoughts on the victory of Mavs Game 7 and Luka’s performance. Doncic racked up 35 points and 10 assists in just 30 minutes of action.
Naturally, Curry was impressed and highlighted how “special” Doncic is.
“Obviously Luka’s doing what he’s doing, putting up crazy numbers. According to Callie Caplan of the Dallas Morning News, the way he finished that series was pretty special,” Curry said.
Steph was not the only former champion to give Doncic a complement on Monday night. During a question and answer session on Twitter, Lakers forward LeBron James was asked who was his favorite player under the age of 25 in the league. James replied,” Luka.”
“He’s my fav player!!”
Speaking of LeBron James, he was recently asked by Tom Brady, the star quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which one would win in a hockey shootout. Of course, James picked himself, joking that he should make a fit for his 6’8″ frame.
Brady is gearing up to team with Aaron Rodgers to take on Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in an exhibition golf game.
