Shannon Sharpe Compares Luka Doncic to LeBron James After Impressive Win Over 76ers
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic has been drawing comparisons to some of the NBA’s greatest players since joining the league in 2018. However, after an impressive performance in a 133-126 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe has likened the 24-year-old to LeBron James.
Sharpe, speaking on his show Undisputed alongside Skip Bayless, noted that Doncic’s ball-dominant style enabled his new running mate, Kyrie Irving, to get a feel for the action, much like when James facilitated Kyrie during their time together in Cleveland.
Doncic’s 40-point, 12-assist game was reminiscent of James in his prime, as he laid on several dimes for his sharpshooting teammates. The Mavericks shot an incredible 52.1% of their 48 three-pointers on the way to a much-needed victory, following a series of single-possession defeats and last-second misses from Irving.
Despite the impressive win, questions remain over which of the two stars will be entrusted with the final shot come playoff time. Both Doncic and Kyrie have shown themselves capable of handling the pressure, but Sharpe and Bayless raised concerns about too many cooks in the kitchen.
Sharpe’s solution was simple: “Whoever’s hot.” The Mavericks’ ability to navigate this issue may determine their season and the future of Irving with the franchise.
