<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong></a> just signed<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Luka Doncic</strong></a> to one of the <strong>largest extensions in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> history.</strong> He’s proven to be a generational talent and the best part is that he’s still years away from reaching his prime.</p>
<p>Then again, it still feels like the Dallas Mavericks aren’t a true championship contender. They have some solid pieces around one of the league’s rising stars, but that’s just not enough in the <strong>Western Conference.</strong></p>
<p>That’s why<strong> ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith </strong>took an in-depth look at their current status, pointing out why <strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong> isn’t the right partner for him and calling out<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/mavs-owner-mark-cuban-chooses-luka-doncic-over-his-wife-20200828-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/mavs-owner-mark-cuban-chooses-luka-doncic-over-his-wife-20200828-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Cuban</a> </strong>for not getting him another star.</p>

<h2>Stephen A. Smith Says Kristaps Porzingis Is Jelous Of Luka Doncic</h2>
<p>Smith said that Porzingis<strong> has a problem with Luka being ball-dominant </strong>and the face of the franchise, saying that – even if he’s healthy – that pairing isn’t going to work because of Kristaps’ jealousy:</p>
<p><em>“(He’s) somebody that is ultimately going to end up incredibly dissatisfied unless Mark Cuban and Jason Kidd to a lesser degree do something about it,”</em> Smith said.<em><strong> “And that’s getting rid of Kristaps Porzingis and get him a big-time, bonafide, dependable number 2 because that’s really what this goes down to.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Smith Calls Out The Mavs For Not Getting Free Agents</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>Smith then called out Mark Cuban and the franchise on their inability <strong>to land bonafide stars</strong> despite Dallas being a great sports city with no state income tax, citing that it could eventually draw Doncic away from the team:</p>
<p><em>“When you got a talent like Luka Doncic, it’s not just about to be respected, it’s also to be appreciated,”</em> Smith added (…)<em><strong> “If you’re in the city of Dallas and you are Mark Cuban… It’s a great city, it’s a great state, no state income tax (…) there’s simply no excuse why you haven’t been able to get a free agent in a decade, it really isn’t.”</strong></em></p>
<p>For now, Doncic will be tied to the organization and there’s no reason to think that he’ll leave any time soon. But he’s <strong>an emotional player and a great competitor, </strong>so this could eventually become an issue for him.</p>

<p>At <strong>22 years of age</strong>, Luka Doncic became the seventh player in the league to sign a $200M+ contract extension and is the first one to do so in a supermax rookie extension.

<p>Doncic will turn 23 next year on February 28 with one of the most lucrative contracts in the NBA. Dallas have seen breathtaking performances from him, especially in the 2020/21 campaign.

Luka Doncic: How long has the Dallas Mavericks star been in the NBA? - Bolavip US

<p>On a surprising turn of events,<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Luka Doncic</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a> </strong>no longer have a General Manager or a coach. <strong>Rick Carlisle</strong> resigned as the team’s coach and will now be one of the most sought-after people around the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA.</a></strong></p>
<p>Coach Rick Carlisle spent 13 years in charge of the team and built a strong reputation around the league, leading them to the NBA Finals and securing<strong> the only NBA championship in franchise history.</strong></p>
<p>The Mavericks will now have plenty of candidates to interview for the job, but they’ll have to make a sound decision if they want to compete at the highest level after <strong>back-to-back first-round exits to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a></strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener">.</a> Here, we break down the most likely candidates to take over.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Top Candidates To Coach The Dallas Mavericks</h2>
<h2>3. Terry Stotts</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210618_BUS_172144_terry_stotts.jpg_22993414_0d040c70.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Terry Stotts. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Terry Stotts</strong> and the Portland Trail Blazers mutually agreed to part ways after yet another failed playoff run. He’s a part of Rick Carlisle’s coaching tree so he’ll be a familiar face to the organization, and he clearly knows how to take an offense to a different level.</p>
<p>On the downside, Stotts’ teams have been infamous for<strong> how poor they’ve </strong>been in the defensive end, and the Mavericks sure need to improve in that regard. Some believe that he’d be better off as an assistant coach, but he sure has Mark Cuban’s approval.</p>
<h2>2. Jamhal Mosley</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210618_BUS_172144_jamhal_mosley.jpg_22993414_78eff452.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jamhal Mosley. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Talking about familiar faces. <strong>Jamhal Mosley </strong>has been a part of the organization for quite a while now and he seems like the logical next in line to take the helms of the team. Also, he’s on Luka Doncic’s good side, which is a lot to say.</p>
<p>Mosley has been on several team’s radars for a coaching position over the past couple of years and he’s familiar with the organization and the players. Nonetheless, his job as a defensive tactician<strong>has been questionable</strong>, to say the least.</p>
<h2>1. Jason Kidd</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210618_BUS_172144_jason_kidd.jpg_22993414_35e6ba22.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jason Kidd. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jason Kidd</strong> doesn’t want to be an assistant coach anymore. He’s got ties with the franchise after several years running the point and being a part of their championship squad. He’s got a solid relationship with Mark Cuban.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2021/06/15/noticia_0003.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-47">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Kidd’s first two coaching stints didn’t go as planned but he’ll have more talent at his disposal this time. He’s a great defensive mind and one of the smartest players of all time and is respected among the players. However, his history of <strong>domestic abuse </strong>makes him a controversial hiring, for sure.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luka Doncic </strong></a>hasn’t even hit restricted free agency yet but <strong>there are already rumors</strong> around the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>of a potential desire to leave the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong>. </a>Yeah, that’s how fast things escalate around the Association.</p>
<p>There’s no denying that Doncic is a generational talent, so the Dallas Mavericks will obviously do whatever they can to keep their franchise cornerstone happy. And, according to a report by <strong>The Athletic</strong>, that may include some change in personnel.</p>
<p>Following the Mavericks’ first-round loss to the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> Los Angeles Clippers</strong>,</a> Doncic hinted at the possibility of signing a max contract extension. However, some people around the league fear that he <strong>could change his mind pretty soon.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>The Athletic: ‘Shadow GM’ Sets Rotation For Rick Carlisle, Has Beef With Luka Doncic</h2>
<p>According to The Athletic’s report, Doncic doesn’t exactly care for <strong>Haralabos Voulgaris,</strong> a sports gambler who’s been working for the team and that has a close relationship with team owner<strong> Mark Cuban:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“Multiple league and team sources tell The Athletic that Voulgaris has been the most influential voice within the Mavericks front office since joining the team, either initiating or approving virtually every transaction made over the past two seasons.</strong> Those same sources add that Voulgaris has frequently gone as far as scripting the starting lineups and rotations for longtime head coach Rick Carlisle,”</em> read the report.</p>
<p>The story states that <strong>Voulgaris’ influence on the</strong> team is a bit of a time bomb waiting to explodeand that it could go as far as to drive the former<strong> Real Madrid</strong> star away from the franchise:</p>
<p><em>“Doncic has a healthy relationship with the Mavericks organization at large. League sources say he angled to be drafted by the team in 2018, and he has been particularly complimentary of his relationship with Nowitzki, whose final season coincided with Doncic’s first. <strong>Those feelings could change if the team’s postseason struggles continue</strong>,” </em>the report added.</p>

<p></p>
<h2>Mark Cuban Calls Out The Athletic Over Alleged ‘Shadow GM’ Rift With Luka Doncic</h2>
<p>Mark Cuban wanted nothing to do with this story and called it ‘BS’, before telling<strong> Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks </strong>that the idea behind The Athletic’s report was both insulting and laughable:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I pay close attention to what Luka says, what the front office, analytics group and our scouts say. What Rick says,” </strong></em>Cuban said. <em><strong>“The idea that there is a shadow GM is laughable. The idea that anyone but Rick sets rotations is insulting.”</strong></em></p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-13">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>More often than not, there’s always some truth to these reports. Doncic has a strong character and a bit of an ego and clearly, he doesn’t like being told what to do. But from that to wanting to leave the team <strong>just 3 years into his NBA career </strong>is a bit of a stretch.</p>

Mavs owner Mark Cuban clears the air on Luka Doncic's alleged desire to leave

<p>Sadly, injuries are a part of sports, especially when it comes to the key stretch of the season. Needless to say, the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>NBA</strong> </a>isn’t the exception to that rule,<strong> as you can tell by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks’</a> star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luka Doncic.</a></strong></p>
<p>Doncic was perfectly fine just a couple of days ago. Then, all of a sudden, he suffered a neck strain that clearly bothered in Game 4 of the first-round series, and it could put his availability for theremainder of the season<strong> in jeopardy.</strong></p>
<p>The Mavericks star was clearly in pain and was far from his usual self. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Clippers</strong> </a>made the most of that to even up the series at 2 after falling<strong> to a 0-2 hole</strong> in the first two games.</p>

<h2>Rick Carlisle Says Luka Doncic Is In Extreme Pain</h2>
<p>But more than losing a couple of games in a row, the Dallas Mavericks should be concerned about what’s to come, as coach <strong>Rick Carlisle</strong> shared an unencouraging update on his star’s status:</p>
<p><em><strong>“He’s in pain. It appeared to me that he couldn’t turn left, couldn’t look to his left, and that’s difficult for a guy that relies on peripheral vision and basically has played his whole life with his head on a swivel,”</strong></em> Carlisle said.</p>
<p>Doncic didn’t want to read too much into his injury and said that<strong> it wasn’t an excuse</strong> for the way he played in Game 4. He said that he will just put some ice on it and move on to the next game.<span></span></p>

<p><em><strong>“I don’t think that’s important right now. We just lost,but I played terrible,so we just got to move on to the next one,”</strong></em> Doncic stated.</p>
<p>Then again,<strong> that may not be entirely up to him</strong> going forward. He had to be cleared to play and was pretty much a game-time-decision Sunday night, so there’s a chance he’s forced to miss at least one game.</p>
<p>It goes without saying that the Dallas Mavericks simply don’t stand a chance against the Los Angeles Clippers – or any other playoff team – without their best player, so hopefully, this injury will go away<strong> in time for Game 5.</strong></p>

Rick Carlisle shares terrible news about Luka Doncic's injury

<p>No one can deny that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-doncic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luka Doncic</a> </strong>is one of the best and most impactful players in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA.</strong></a> He can do pretty much everything with the rock on his hand, control the pace of the game, make his teammates better, and is the main reason why the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> </a>are <strong>a playoff team.</strong></p>
<p>Then again, he’s becoming infamous around the league for <strong>constantly going at the referees,</strong> whining after every no-call, and mishandling his emotions every time things don’t go his way on the court.</p>
<p>So, just a couple of days after vowing that he would stay in control, he was ejected with a flagrant two foul after punching <strong>Collin Sexton</strong> in the groin during his team’s clash with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cleveland-cavaliers-t98547" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cleveland Cavaliers.</strong></a></p>

<h2>Luka Doncic Says He Didn’t Mean To Hit Collin Sexton</h2>
<p>Sexton bumped into Doncic while trying to box him out, so he responded by hitting him with a <strong>cheap shot in the groin.</strong> And even though it could be deemed a soft ejection, that was still unnecessary and uncalled for:</p>

<p>Luckily, the Mavericks didn’t need their best player to beat a tanking Cavaliers team but Doncic needs to know better. His team needs him out there to avoid the play-in tournament. Also, another technical foul would result<strong> in a one-game suspension.</strong></p>
<p>Once again, no one can deny Doncic’s talent and impact but<strong> he needs to be in control of his emotions</strong> or he’s only going to hurt his team’s chances and get a bad reputation with the officials.</p>

Luka Doncic speaks up on his ejection for punching Collin Sexton - Bolavip US

<p>You can’t deny that<strong> Luka Doncic</strong> has already surpassed all expectations around him. When he first entered the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong> three seasons ago, some people thought the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a> </strong>were reaching way too much, and that his ceiling would be a poor man’s <strong>Hedo Turkoglu</strong>. Fast-forward to today, and not only he’s one of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/the-15-most-popular-nba-jerseys-right-now-20210312-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most popular players </a>in the league but also one of the most promising.</p>
<p>Then again, even great players have flaws. Doncic is an <strong>offensive juggernaut</strong>, a playmaking machine, and a dominant scorer but he’s not much of a defender. Moreover, his character and constant whining are wearing the referees down.</p>
<p>As we saw again last night vs. the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a>,</strong> Doncic complains after every single play. He doesn’t even come back on defense and stays on the referees’ face asking for a call, so it’s not unusual to see him <strong>leading the league in technical fouls this season.</strong></p>

<h2>Luka Doncic Says He’ll Stop Complaining That Much</h2>
<p>So, when asked about that critical flaw of his game, the former <strong>Real Madrid star</strong> vowed to do some soul-searching and stop getting into the referees’ face, as he knows he can’t afford to miss a game with a suspension:</p>
<p><em><strong>“You know, with the officials, I wasn’t myself this season. I’m complaining way too much. And I gotta work on that, you know. I just gotta stay calmed and just not talk to them, I gotta learn from that,”</strong></em> Doncic said after the game.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div style="width: 100%;height: 0px;padding-bottom: 56.250%">       </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p></div>
<p><em><strong>“[It’s difficult] with all the emotions in games, but obviously I’ve got to stop. It’s just hard for me on the court with all the emotions, but I realize it and I’ve got to work on this,”</strong></em> the Mavericks star added.</p>
<p>With 16 technical fouls as of now, Doncic is one ‘T’ away <strong>from a one-game suspension. </strong>After that, every technical foul would result in another game missed, which is terrible news with the playoffs just around the corner.</p>
<p>Doncic is one of the most talented players in NBA history and it’s not like he needs any help from the referees to dominate. If he keeps this up, he’s even <strong>less likely</strong> to have that superstar treatment he’s advocating for.</p>

<p>There’s no better feeling than taking that last shot and sending your rival home with a loss. Not many players thrive in the clutch and when it matters the most, but some of them<strong> just rise to the occasion.</strong></p>
<p>That’s the case with <strong>Luka Doncic</strong>, as the young star proved once again to be an elite <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> talent by knocking down one of the most acrobatic game-winning shots vs.<strong> Ja Morant</strong> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/memphis-grizzlies-t100708" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Memphis Grizzlies.</strong></a></p>
<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong></a> were craving a win on the road to try and get that<strong> 6th seed </strong>away from the <strong>Portland Trail Blazers,</strong> and even though it took some luck and an incredible shot to pull it off, they did it.</p>

<h2>Luka Doncic Nets Incredible Game-Winning Shot Vs. Memphis Grizzlies</h2>
<p>With just 1.8 seconds on the clock and down two, Luka caught an inbound pass and, somehow, someway, and regardless of how many bodies he had in front of him; he threw an out-of-balance hail mary three-pointer that gave his team<strong> a much-neededwin.</strong></p>

<h2>The Craziest Game-Winning Shots In NBA History</h2>
<p>Incredible as that shot was, we couldn’t help to remember some of the craziest and most iconic game-winners in NBA history.</p>
<h2>5. Derek Fisher vs. Spurs</h2>
<p>With the Los Angeles Lakers on the verge of elimination against the San Antonio Spurs, down a single point, and with just 0.4 seconds left on the clock;<strong> Derek Fisher </strong>– not Shaquille O’Neal or Kobe Bryant – gotthe ball and sent a prayer in Manu Ginobili’s face to keep his team alive. That was called the ‘Miracle Shot’.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>4. Devin Harris vs. Sixers</h2>
<p>Not many people remember when <strong>Devin Harris</strong> was a bucket-getter. But back in 2009, he had one of the most athletic and craziest shots in the history of the league. Down 1 with 1.8 on the clock, he somehow managed to get his own miss after Andre Iguodala blocked his shot. He got the ball mid-air and threw it back from half-court. All net.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>3. Matt Barnes vs. Pistons</h2>
<p><strong>Matt Barnes </strong>wasn’t exactly the flashiest scorer you could think of, but he did have one of the craziest game-winners ever. The Memphis Grizzlies got a couple of clutch stops vs. the Detroit Pistons but had no timeouts left and were down by 2. Barnes grabbed a defensive board, dribbled up the court, and knocked down a double-pump, half-court bomb to seal the win.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>2. LeBron James vs. Raptors</h2>
<p>For years, <strong>LeBron James </strong>was the Toronto Raptors’ biggest nightmare. But perhaps, the shot Raptors fans play on their heads over and over came in the 2018 playoffs. Cleveland Cavaliers and Raptors were tied at 103 with no timeouts left and the Cavs up 2-0 in the series. LeBron took the ball up with under 3 seconds left and knocked down an out-of-balance, one-legged floater to break Raptors’ fans hearts again.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>1. Dwyane Wade vs. Warriors</h2>
<p>One of <strong>Dwyane Wade’</strong>s craziest shots came on his very last season in the league. The Miami Heat were struggling and rebuilding and hosted the almighty Golden State Warriors, but Wade wasn’t going to let his team down. Wade got the ball down two with 1.8 seconds left and got his first shot attempt blocked by Jordan Bell. The Flash got the ball back mid-air and threw a one-legged floater from beyond the arc that banked in to drive fans crazy.</p>

Luka Doncic and the 5 craziest game-winners in NBA history

Luka Doncic and the 5 craziest game-winners in NBA history - Bolavip US

<p>A couple of days ago, <strong>ESPN</strong> created mayhem on social media with their infamous list of the top 10 <strong>best <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>players under 25 years old</strong>. While they got the names right, the order was controversial, to say the least.</p>
<p>Obviously, most of the rankings are always subjective, meaning that a lot of people will always get mad at you when you put one together. This time, however, it seems like<strong> they really messed things up.</strong></p>
<p>That’s why today, we took the liberty of re-doing the ranking the way it should’ve been in the first place. So, without further ado,<strong> let’s break it down.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Re-Doing ESPN’s Controversial List Of The 10 Top NBA Players Under 25</h2>

<div id="relatedNews-48">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Well, for starters, we can all agree that ESPN got it right with number 10 and the first two spots.<strong> Shai Gilgeous-Alexander</strong> has the tools to become a dominant two-way player but his proneness to get hurt puts him below the rest. As for<strong> Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson,</strong> they’re looking like superstars already.</p>
<p>Then, it seems like <strong>Jayson Tatum and Devin Booker </strong>don’t get the credit they deserve. We’re talking about youngsters that continue to improve every aspect of their game on a yearly basis and that are already franchise players and first-scoring options.</p>
<p><strong>Donovan Mitchell </strong>made some great strides this season and he’s coming off historically great playoff performances in the bubble. The question is whether his defense can catch up with his offense.</p>
<p>No disrespect to<strong> LaMelo Ball </strong>whatsoever, he’s shown flashes of greatness and of being a franchise player, but he’s yet to prove his worth ahead of the other 5 guys ranked on top of him. I mean, he didn’t even play 50 games and he’s already a top-10 youngster in the league, which is a lot to say, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.</p>
<p><strong>Bam Adebayo</strong> doesn’t get enough credit for his game but he went from a borderline rotation player to one of the most skilled big men in the league and a starter for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heat</a>. He’s a playmaker and a lockdown defender and his offense continues to evolve.</p>
<p>As for<strong> Ben Simmons</strong>, there’s no denying that he’s one of the craftiest passers and most versatile defenders in the world but he’s shown little-to-none signs of improvement or development since he made the league.</p>
<p>Last, but not least, I feel like <strong>De’Aaron Fox </strong>could’ve been ranked way higher if it wasn’t for the team he plays in. He continues to improve as a scorer and defender but he’s yet to prove that he can lead the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sacramento-kings-t100706" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kings</a> to the playoffs.</p>

<p>Ever since he set foot on an <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>hardwood, <strong>Luka Doncic </strong>has been drawing comparisons with current and former players. First, they said that his ceiling was<strong> Hedo Turkoglu </strong>and now, they compare him to<strong> Larry Bird.</strong></p>
<p>Doncic clearly has some things from Bird’s game. They’re both big but can put the ball on the floor and be playmakers, they can score from all three levels, and they don’t exactly strike you <strong>as athletic or fast players.</strong></p>
<p>However, <strong>Houston Rockets coach Stephen Silas </strong>sees him more like <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James </a>or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/stephen-curry-t132201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry</a></strong>and went on to explain his argument in a Zoom call before his team met the <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> last night.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Rockets’ Stephen SilasCompares Him To Stephen Curry And LeBron James</h2>
<p><em>“<strong>There’s two things, the basketball intelligence, the overall intelligence, the ability to listen and learn quickly, and the ability to take teaching and use it right away. You just have to tell them once and they’ve got it. </strong>All three guys were very much the same in that. All three guys are like, when you’re watching film with them, they see it. They see it already. Like Luka, I’d be watching films with him and he’d be like ‘Oh I know what’s coming. Here it is. I know. I know,”</em> Silas told the media.</p>
<p><em><strong>“Steph would be the same way and LeBron would very much be the same way,</strong> like, they see it before it happens and if they made a mistake, they knew they made the mistake and all those things. It’s so much fun to coach guys like that who are just so smart,” </em>Silas added.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Last but not least, Silas believes that Doncic’s<strong> work ethic </strong>is also one of the main reasons why he’s so special, once again comparing him to the younger versions of LeBron and Steph he got to coach as an assistant years ago:</p>
<p><em>“They all have gotten so much better from year to year and I was blessed to be with those guys at the beginning, so I could see the growth that each guy has had. <strong>You don’t get that much better by just kind of not working or just expecting to get better all of the sudde</strong>n,</em>” Silas concluded.</p>
<p>Time will tell, but for now, it seems like Doncic is poised to become the new face of the league and that he’s destined for greatness, just like the<strong> future Hall of Famers</strong> he just got compared with.</p>

<p>You don’t have to be a veteran to <strong>make an impact in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>.</strong> In fact, we’re seeing younger superstars every year in the league, as teams don’t want to ‘waste’ their draft picks on players that have spent a lot of years in college.</p>
<p>It’s getting more normal to see <strong>19-year-olds</strong> become first-round picks and even start right away in the NBA, and that’s why most of them are likely to break all kinds of records if they stay healthy.</p>
<p>To be honest, most of the best players in the league right now are young, barring some obvious exceptions like<strong> LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or Stephen Curry.</strong> That’s why today, we’re going to let you know about the 5 best NBA players under 25.</p>

<p>It didn’t take long before <strong>Ja Morant </strong>proved to the rest of the world that he shouldn’t be overlooked. He willed the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/memphis-grizzlies-t100708" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Memphis Grizzlies</a> into playoff contention in his rookie season with his electric dunks, underrated defense, and solid playmaking.</p>
<p>Morant is one of the<strong> most athletic guards</strong> in the league and he shows it with his never-ending energy and has shown some impressive maturity to embrace a leadership role right out of the gate.</p>

<p><strong>Trae Young </strong>went from being one of the flashiest players in the league to being criminally underrated, even being snubbed from this year’s All-Star Game despite posting some impressive numbers.</p>

<p>Young can pull up <strong>from everywhere on the court </strong>and score at a high clip. He’s a master at drawing fouls and is one of the most entertaining passers you’ll see on a basketball hardwood. His defense is subpar, tho.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>There were some obvious concerns regarding <strong>Zion Williamson’s</strong> health due to his weight but now that he’s at full strength, he’s shown that he’s a generational player. He’s way more than just a strong frame.</p>
<p>Besides his strength and athleticism, Zion is quite smart and skilled. He’s got nice footwork and the intangibles to become a superstar, as he’s <strong>scoring at will </strong>against grown men the same way he did in high school and college.</p>

<p>It’s crazy to think that <strong>Jayson Tatum </strong>has yet to turn 25 years old, as it seems like he’s been around the league for ages. Well, no, he’s just 22 and will only get better with the years, which is a scary thought for the rest of the league.</p>
<p>Tatum has one of the most complete and polished offensive repertoires in the league but he’s also a much better defender than people credit him for. Also, he stepped up as the Boston Celtic’s <strong>go-to-guy</strong> at just 20 years old.</p>

<p><strong>Luka Doncic</strong> is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of player. He’s been turning heads since his days at Real Madrid and it only took him a couple of months to silence his doubters when he made it to the NBA.</p>
<p>Doncic can do it all on the offensive end of the floor, nearly averaging a triple-double. He’s shown that he’s got the clutch gene in him and<strong> will be the face of the NBA</strong> once LeBron’s reign is over.</p>

The best NBA players under 25 in 2021

The best NBA players under 25 in 2021 - Bolavip US

<p>No one, not even the most optimistic Slovenia, Real Madrid, and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> </a>fan ever thought that <strong>Luka Doncic </strong>was going to be this good this far. He had huge potential and upside, but it usually takes young players a little longer to get their legs under them.</p>
<p>Doncic has <strong>dominated the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>at will since day one. He’s proving that he should’ve had been the first-overall pick of the Draft despite not being exactly athletic or fast, and he looks like the kind of generational talent that could lead a franchise for over a decade.</p>
<p>Last night, the third-year point forward showcased his full repertoire again, leading his team to a road win over the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/indiana-pacers-t100210" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Indiana Pacers</strong> </a>with <strong>13 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists, </strong>piling yet another triple-double.<span></span></p>

<h2>Luka Doncic Joins Magic Johnson And Oscar Robertson In Triple-Double Club</h2>
<p>With those stats, Luka Doncic became the youngest player to reach 30 career triple-doubles, andtopped<strong> Magic Johnson</strong> as the player who needed the second-fewer games to pull that off. He did it in just 146 games, while Magic did it in 190. Notably, he only trails the legendary <strong>Oscar Robertson,</strong> who needed just 75 games to reach that mark.</p>

<p>Doncic’s ability to stuff the stat sheet and do a little bit of everything makes him <strong>a fan favorite </strong>in terms of fantasy basketball. But more importantly, those aren’t just empty stats as it often happens with other stars; he actually helps his team by putting up those kinds of numbers.</p>
<p>The Dallas Mavericks have had a shaky start of the season due to multiple injuries and Covid-19 related issues but once they’re back at full strength, they’ll be one of the biggest dark horses in the Western Conference, especially if Doncic continues to perform at such an elite level and<strong> Kristaps Porzingis</strong> manages to stay healthy.</p>

Luka Doncic joins exclusive club with yet another NBA record

Luka Doncic joins exclusive club with yet another NBA record - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/luka-doncic-t118703" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luka Doncic</strong></a> has made a big impact in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> since the very moment he entered the league back in 2018. The Slovenian player has been a blessing for the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong></a> and he’s set to lead his team to win a championship in upcoming seasons.</p>
<p>The young player has a bright future ahead and one can only wonder where his roof is or what he will achieve with the Mavs in the future. Luka is only 21 and is already doing historical things in the league. What’s next for him? Nobody knows.</p>
<p>Still, we can see some similarities between him and some of the greatest players in NBA history to see what Luka can do in his career. He’s been labeled as the “next <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a>” and more, but more recently, he was compared to arguably the greatest player of all time.</p>

<h2>Rick Carlisle compares Luka Doncic to Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and more</h2>
<p>Dallas Mavericks’ head coach Rick Carlisle has compared his star player to three of the greatest players of all time, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Michael Jordan</strong></a>, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, given the similarities between their personalities and how they can impact the game.</p>
<p>During a recent interview, Carlisle made the comparison between his pupil and the three legends, stating that his imagination is incredible, which reminds him of Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James.</p>

<p><em>“This is what great players and some of the savant thinkers that we’ve seen in the history of this game (do). You’re talking about guys like Bird, Magic, Jordan were very similar.
