John Salley Reveals Key Similarity Between Luka Doncic And Larry Bird

 

Luka Doncic has been in tremendous form in this year’s playoffs, putting up 30.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game on 46.4% shooting from the field. He has risen to the occasion and has made the Dallas Mavericks a must-watch these playoffs.

Fans and analysts alike questioned the Mavericks along the way. But with Doncic leading the way, the Mavericks have proven their doubters wrong by reaching the Western Conference Finals as a fourth-seeded team after beating the Phoenix Suns that went 64-18 in the regular season.

Doncic’s ascension this year has been phenomenal to watch, and many people have taken notice. One of which is former Detroit Pistons forward John Salley. Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Salley heaped big praise on Doncic by comparing him to Boston Celtics Hall of Famer Larry Bird.

 

“I would be afraid to play against Luka. I’m telling you personally, that’s how good he is. … He’s this much below Larry Bird, or maybe that much, but Larry Bird would put fear in me and everyone else just like Luka does.”
