Chris Broussard – Jason Kidd is Right About Luka Doncic Being Better Than Dirk Nowitzki

Chris Broussard – Jason Kidd is Right About Luka Doncic Being Better Than Dirk Nowitzki

And Luca donic who is on an incredible tear Rob we we mentioned earlier he scored 73 points um a few games ago um he had 45 points 15 assists and nine rebounds uh at last night in their game against Orlando a win um and so the the the dude is doing

Damage the game between the 73 and the 45 Rob 28 points 17 assists 10 rebounds and Jason kid had some incredible words the great Jason kid Hall of Fame player himself had some incredible words about donic after that game here he is I’ve said this uh before and I’ll say

It you know for as long as I’m here is you can’t take this young man for granted um he’s better than than Dirk uh he’s in the in the in the atmosphere of MJ the best to ever do it LeBron uh Kobe um and so just to appreciate what uh

This young man is doing at the age of 24 is uh something that Dallas has never seen um and and I’ve said this internally he is better than Dirk U he does things that Dirk could never do and now it’s you know the opportunity of getting the right people around him to

To ultimately win a championship you just said two times that Luca is better than Dirk Dirk won a title and had been to two do you feel comfortable saying that on a guy that has not made the even made the finals yet yeah uh MJ’s the

Same way MJ didn’t make it until his 30s uh this young man is 24 and is breaking all the records uh that stand in front of him um and he’s a winner and uh his ultimate goal is to to to win a championship and he he will get there

Not just you know win one but he will win multiple when it’s all said and done all right there’s the great Jason he is the coach of the Mavericks uh I I just want to say correct something and then you can go first Rob um Jordan was 28 I

Believe when he yeah he was in his seventh season and Chris I also liked I don’t know who the reporter or the podcaster push back like like like no right right what was that the radio show I’m just saying it just just just to put some okay it was good that that’s all

And that’s what we talk about a lot Chris on the podcast it’s not that you have to be vly against somebody or whatever but just put push back and give some other uh depth to the conversation and have them explain exactly what he meant so which is fine that’s all and I

Thought the guy did a good job on that radio show but I’ll let you go first on this uh you could go first cuz I Jason kid is absolutely right about Luca being better than Dirk I don’t care how many finals Dirk went to Luca donic is better

Than Dirk nais and that’s no slight on Dirk people think I don’t like Dirk I like Dirk there’s like a running thing with you and him right yeah no I mean I guess so I don’t know I’m not on social media looking like but but whatever I

Got no issues with Dirk I I spent time with Dirk wrote a big story on in ESP in the magazine about him you know so I I got no no issues with and I I bring that up you can say oh everybody wres stories but when you write a magazine story you

Spend a lot of time with the guy so I wrote you know I mean just an evening spend an evening or two with him um nice guy good guy one of the greats of all time no doubt but Luca Don is better I I don’t know how in the world you could

Say Dirk is better than Luca Luca scores more and then of course runs the offense score has a ton of assists Dirk wasn’t a great rebounder Luca is darn near as good a rebounder as Dirk Dirk wasn’t a neither is a Defender neither was a Defender but just

Watching these two there’s no doubt now my issue is well I I’ll say that now now he is not in the class I mean Michael Jordan is in a class pretty much by himself is the goat but if you want to put LeBron and K Kareem in that class I guess that would

Be the goat class even though I say it’s Jordan I think most people say it’s Jordan those are the three in the conversation Luca won’t get there because those three in addition to playing being great offensive players they were great Defenders all right so Luca is not a good Defender so he’s not

Going to get to that group he can rob in fact I’m G say he should get to that next group he’s not there yet but I think Jason kid is projecting that’s not what he L donic should be when it’s all said and done he should be being mentioned with Kobe and

And and Larry Bird I I’ve been calling him Luca Legend since he got in the league the dude is magnificent my fear is this Rob cuz he’s in his six season and he’s not close to a championship right now Jordan was close at this point LeBron was close at this point Luc is

Not really close I know that one year they got deep but they they’re the seventh seed right now this is my fear and I it’s not all on Luca some people will say some of it is because this how he wants to play but Luca right now he’s playing and has

Played two ball dominant two ball dominance which is does contribute to his Gody stats but you are you can’t win with one guy doing it all James Harden now granted James melts in the playoffs but still he hasn’t won it LeBron didn’t win it when he was doing it

All and I think his ball dominance during his prime may have cost him some more other Rings um Michael Jordan didn’t win it when was doing it all before Phil Jackson came and instituted the triangle remember Jordan averaged a triple double for like 14 straight games

Or something when they put the ball in his hands like players today but he wasn’t winning will I you can go all the way down the line nobody’s want it as a oneman show because basketball is a team sport Golden State didn’t have the most talent in the league when they won their

First and last championship in this era they did when they had Durant but before that they didn’t what they do they played fiveman basketball when everybody else was playing one or Twan ball San San Antonio when they ran through the heat in 2014 Duncan’s old past his prime they played team

Basketball five man everybody touching it Ball moving they got to find a way in Dallas and this is on Jason kid and Luca to get him have him be the man but allow everybody else to get theirs too and play close to the maximum of what they

Can play right now everything is off Luca or when Kyrie’s there it’s Kyrie’s turn and everybody’s just watching KY and playing off him they got to get everybody incorporated or as great as Luca is and he he should end up in that group that second group right below go

Below goom but playing this way I don’t think it’s going to happen and so that’s my fear they got to work something out because there’s no reason with Kyrie Irving and Luca dones they should be the freaking seventh seed in the west well he lost me when he mentioned it

With Michael Jordan that that’s when he lost me because he didn’t say I’m predict predicting Chris he’s saying that he should he’s already in that conversation or should be mentioned with them and I don’t think he’s in that class the other thing too and you talked about it defensively and he’s been

Overweight he’s worn out at the end of Seasons we’ve seen that in the playoffs uh a third of his playoff games he shot under 40% yeah I remember that playoff series against the Clippers they blew it he killed the he kills the yeah but he blew

It he blew the the series if you remember that he didn’t blow it cuz they wasn’t supposed to beat the Clippers yeah but they but he he had a game six at home they were up three to two taking them taking them that deep they had Paul

George and those guys no but they had a he had a chance he ate both of them cats up yeah but that’s how you that’s how you when they were both among the best defenders in the league he served them beat is when you beat them but but he

Did they didn’t win Bo got nothing for him and and I’m going to say too I’m not going to I’m not going to disrespect uh Dirk’s career because I think people it’s a different game that they’re playing now and I understand what Luca can do Chris I I’m not going to poo poo

It or think he’s not there I just think that the conversation that Jason kid had was more about uh projection more so than it is right here right now and still you could say well I don’t care if what call went to the to the championship or whatever

He did if you remember that run in 2011 he was pretty damn impressive made big shots went through Kobe and and Pal Gasol he went through them he went through the the Russ and KD and Harden Chris um he went he went through the gauntlet to get that Championship kid was on that

Team so he helped him yeah no I remember I’m just saying um so so um and then um so I I’m I’m not there I’m not there yet I I think that this is premature by Jason kid I get it he’s his coach he watches him every night Chris he has an

Affinity for him he thinks he could be there but he’s not to mention him with Jordan I think is preposterous well that’s I mean again he won’t be in that goat conversation that’s what he said I I I have no doubt like I’m sorry he’s he’s better than Dirk I mean all all

People can throw at me is the championship it’s not just the championship I mean what else is it what is what did Dirk do better than him yeah it’s just a he’s a different player I get it Chris there’s no doubt about it and what he can do is spectacular but

Dirk had a hell of a Hall of Fame and nobody’s taking that away from Luca’s better don’t mean we dissing Dirk yeah that’s the thing that’s like you know like you and always say if you say LeBron is better than Jordan or Jordan’s better than LeBron people act

Like you hating the other one no I think it’s premature by Jason K man I’m sorry this ain’t no ain’t no doubt it ain’t premature to me Luca is a bad boy that boy is bad jayon kid right on that now he he went a little too far with the MJ

Stuff I don’t know atmosphere maybe that atmosphere is huge Rob I don’t know maybe it’s you know 15 guys in that atmosphere maybe I don’t know but that was too far but n he he is I mean and and and again who knows Dirk better than

Kid kid was the Quint of central point guard and played with Dirk helped Dirk get that championship

THE ODD COUPLE – Chris Broussard & Rob Parker react to recent comments from current Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd giving Luka Doncic high praise, comparing him to Michael Jordan and saying Luka has even surpassed Dirk Nowitzki.
