No one is going to argue with the greatness of Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks.
Doncic has gotten off to an incredible start this season, averaging 34.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 8.1 assists.
This has been a long time coming: Doncic has gotten progressively better and better every season and has been building to this moment.
Now he is being spoken of as a possible MVP winner and one of the top three players in the NBA.
Is Luka on track to have a better career than KD?
"Absolutely. He's better than Kevin Durant [now]. Giannis is the best player in the world. Luka is second. … KD has never led his own team to a championship, and I think Luka will – multiple times." — @Chris_Broussard pic.twitter.com/ctG26INMr6

In fact, some people are even saying he’s better than the best of the best.
Speaking on ESPN, Chris Broussard took the bold stance that Donic is better than Kevin Durant currently.
Broussard laid it out plainly:
“He’s better than Kevin Durant [now]. Giannis is the best player in the world. Luka is second. KD has never led his own team to a championship, and I think Luka will – multiple times.”
He isn’t the only one who says that Doncic is better than Durant and the numbers certainly back up that claim right now.
Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the two most talked-about players in the league right now.
Look Out For Luka
It really does feel like the NBA belongs to both Doncic and Antetokounmpo.
Of course, there are so many other incredible players throughout the league but few are able to stand up against these two.
Both Doncic and Antetokounmpo are angling for not only the MVP trophy but the Finals too.
Now, only one of these two has been there – and won it all – before so most people believe Antetokounmpo has a better shot at making it all the way.
Still, Doncic has leveled up this year and is going harder and playing better than he has before.
