Luka isn’t the most explosive or athletic player out there. Once he loses a step his game will regress a lot.

LeBron was at another level of athleticism when he came out of HS. Him losing a step did not have as large of an impact. He basically has been able to have a “prime” that has lasted his whole career.

It is already clear to me that Luka is going to win more championships than LeBron. Luka is still 5-6 years away from hitting his peak as a player. He won’t even be 30 six years from now.

Championships are a team accomplishment. Sure, an individual player can have a larger impact in a sport like basketball since someone can play almost the entire game if necessary, but it’s not like singles tennis where one player determines the outcome.

Did you watch LeBron when he was younger, or just looking at stats?
