    Love the brutal honesty from the legend, Dirk Nowitzki, about the sheer greatness of the kid legend, Luka. I mean, let's face it. Luka is already playing better offensively than all-time greats at the peak of their careers. The stats from Luka are on another level. He's still a kid and he's unstoppable.

      Luka's at age 22 was amazingly different than any players I've seen. Many compared him to Larry Bird at the time. I saw Luka surpassing Bird at the age. Love Dirk's honesty!

    His nickname from 15 until he entered the draft was literally "The Wonder Boy"... it's just typical Americans who don't value anything except a 45 inch vertical leap as potential in a draft who didn't see this domination coming

      Yep, i agree with you. But this american sight about basketball it's about how the sport grew in the USA, american basketball is way more athletic, they usually playing going hard in the paint and taking size-vert advantage. In an interview, Luka said that he started playing with boys whose were older than him, then he had to beat'em using his IQ instead of his athleticism, and that's what european basketball is all about, it's diferent schools of basketball.

      He was never been pro at 14. he become pro at 16 but he were playing with older kids than him at 14. Obviously, the talent he had at that young age they didn't want him to waste it so they decided to be how it was. Do you think that Dennis Smith Jr. if he was playing at that young age as Luka that he will become better? NO.
