<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>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<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. LeBron James, I’m sure Kobe Bryant was a lot like this too. But as time moves along, the level of growth is really there in all areas from skill refinement to leadership on the floor in games and in practice.”</em></p>
<p>Doncic was a finalist for the 2020 MIP award last season and this one he’s seen as the favorite to win the 2021 NBA MVP, according to oddsmakers. The Slovenian is trying to create a legacy in the league and, as stated before, nobody knows where his improvement will stop.</p>

Former Michael Jordan rival compares Luka Doncic to MJ, LeBron James and more All-Time greats

Former Michael Jordan rival compares Luka Doncic to MJ, LeBron James and more All-Time greats - Bolavip US

<p>Being considered the <strong>best player in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong> has to be one of the toughest things a player could accomplish. I mean, you have to outplay the best athletes on earth and lead your team to the top of the league.</p>
<p>That’s why some of the greatest players in the history of the game have retired without a single <strong>MVP award </strong>in their trophy cabinet. Either because they were outplayed by another player every year or because they could never make their teams better despite their great numbers.</p>
<p>This upcoming season promises to have one of the closest MVP races we’ve seen in years. There’s no shortage in talent and there are a couple of stars poised to silence their critics. Today, we’re going to let you know about the <strong>top 5 MVP candidates, </strong>according to Las Vegas.</p>

<h2>Top 5 NBA MVP Candidates: Updated Odds</h2>
<p><em>* Odds via FanDuel</em></p>
<h2>5. James Harden (+1000 Odds)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="James Harden" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="James Harden" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201218_BUS_166930_james_harden.jpg_22993414_6e74daee.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    James Harden.

<p></p></div>
<p>You may say whatever you want about <strong>James Harden</strong>. His work ethic has been questionable lately and he’s clearly out of shape, but no one can deny that he’s one of the most unstoppable scorers in the history of the league.</p>
<p>Whether he’ll finish the season with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a> or not is yet to be seen but you better believe he’ll play with a chip on his shoulder all year long. He’s been putting<strong> MVP-caliber numbers for years now.</strong></p>

<h2>4. Anthony Davis (+900 Odds)</h2>

(Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Anthony Davis</strong> has never been at the top of the MVP conversation, mostly because he played for a small market team. Now, he’s the <strong>Los Angeles Lakers’</strong> go-to-guy, a defending champion, and has all the exposure he needs to finally win the award.</p>
<p>Davis is the best two-way big man in the league and one of the best players to ever do it. He can literally do anything on both ends of the floor, and being a Lakers player <strong>will always favor your MVP case.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>

(Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Stephen Curry</strong> is going to be under more pressure this season than ever before in his career. He’ll be without<strong> Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant f</strong>or a full season and has the responsibility of keeping the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Golden State Warriors’</strong></a> dynasty alive.</p>
<p>Curry has already proven that he’s a perennial MVP candidate, even becoming the first <strong>unanimous winner</strong> in the history of the league. Now, he’ll have to prove that he’s far more than just a shooter.</p>

<h2>2. Giannis Antetokounmpo (+480 Odds)</h2>

(Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>What are the odds of someone winning three straight MVP awards? Well, according to Las Vegas: +480. Nonetheless, we think it’s kind of far-fetched to think that the media will lean towards<strong> Giannis Antetokounmpo </strong>for a third consecutive season.</p>
<p>Giannis has demonstrated that he can dominate through the regular season but his struggles in the playoffs have taken a toll on his reputation lately. Hopefully, he’ll finally be able to <strong>lead the Milwaukee Bucks back to the NBA Finals.</strong></p>

(Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>There has been a growing narrative since the playoffs that says that<strong> Luka Doncic</strong> will be heavily-favored by the media to win this year’s MVP award. And, judging by the gambling odds, it seems like they’re right.</p>
<p>Then again, Doncic has the skills and charisma to win the award without needing a narrative by his side. He’s already a bonafide superstar and has <strong>the potential to become the best player in the league in no time.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The 2K company has revealed its ratings for the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-2k21-t142792" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA 2K21</a> next-gen edition</strong> set to premiere in November. The people behind the game were getting a lot of criticism due to the lack of substantial changes in the new installment of the video game and they recently were under fire for placing unskippable in-game ads.</p>
<p>They apologized for that and now it’s part of the past. Moreover, they got to work to make fans happy and the game is trending now for good reasons. <strong>They just released the ratings of NBA 2K21 next-gen</strong> with some changes following the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> bubble in Orlando, the success of some teams and players and the failures of others.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> is once again the best player in the game</strong>, boasting a 98 OVR for the second time in the last three years. He was tied with <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kawhi-leonard-t141528" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kawhi Leonard</a> as the best player of NBA 2K20 with a 97 rating but now the throne is just for the King.</p>

<h2>NBA 2K21 ratings: winners and losers</h2>
<p>LeBron is, without any hesitation, the biggest winner of this list. The King showed during the bubble that he’s still the best player in the league and nobody can take that from him. Another winner is <strong>Jimmy Butler, who led the Miami Heat to the Finals for the first time in six years</strong>, almost single-handedly extending the series to six games. Butler received a 93 overall rating.</p>

Zion Williamson had a 2-point upgrade, going from 84 last year to 86 this one.</p>
<p>When we talk about losers, one of the biggest we can find is Paul George of the Los Angeles Clippers, who received an 88 rating this year. Something unexpected was watching Trae Young getting an 88 rating too following a terrific individual season with the Atlanta Hawks where he proved he’s one of the best shooters in the league right now.</p>
<p>Donovan Mitchell, who was terrific in the bubble (especially in the first round with the Utah Jazz) also got an 88 rating, just like Jamal Murray, who got an 87 rating, surprisingly.</p>
<h2>Jayson Tatum, Paul George and Trae Young react to the ratings</h2>
<p>As it happens with other sports, NBA players reacted to their ratings, with some showing their excitement for their overall valuation while others used it as motivation.</p>
<p>Jayson Tatum celebrated his 90 OVR rating expressing his happiness with it, talking about the hard job he puts in to become a better player every season.</p>
<p><em>“I feel good,” Tatum said. <strong>“You set out a goal before the season, and once you accomplish that goal, it feels good</strong>. And now we’re on to the next marker.”</em></p>

<p>This is going to be a topic of discussion always. <strong>Every year at least one player will complain about his rating</strong>. Fans will agree or disagree with them depending on what they saw on the court, but this is something that will continue to happen.</p>
<p>Still, some reactions are hilarious and help ballers to try to become better the next season.</p>

Jayson Tatum, Paul George and the best reactions to NBA 2K21 ratings

Jayson Tatum, Paul George and the best reactions to NBA 2K21 ratings - Bolavip US

<p>Ever since his days with<strong> Real Madrid</strong>, it was pretty clear that <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/luka-doncic-t118703" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luka Doncic</strong></a> was destined for greatness but no one, not even the most optimistic <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong></a> fan, ever thought that he’d be that good that fast.</p>
<p><strong>Doncic has taken the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>for assault</strong>since the very first moment he set a foot on the hardwood and, even though some of his doubters dared to deem him a one-year-wonder, he came back even better for his sophomore season.</p>
<p>That’s why some oddsmakers and experts from Las Vegas and Sportsbetting.com believe that <strong>he’ll be next year’s Most Valuable Player, </strong>even ahead of already bonafide superstars of the league.</p>

<h2>Oddsmakers Back Luka Doncic To Become 2021 NBA MVP</h2>
<p>According to the aforementioned betting house, Doncic is the frontrunner to be the league’s best player in 2021, followed closely by<strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo, Steph Curry, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis.</strong></p>
<p>Not to shabby for a 21-year-old player that has already proven to be a superstar at the highest level, up to the point where Mavericks’ <strong>owner Mark Cuban<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/mavs-owner-mark-cuban-chooses-luka-doncic-over-his-wife-20200828-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> even said that he’d leave his wife</a> if that’s what it takes to keep Doncic around forever.</strong></p>

<p></p>
<p>Luka improved in every single aspect from this Rookie of the Year season, averaging<strong>28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game on 46% shooting </strong>and leading his Mavericks to the playoffs.</p>
<p>Doncic put his team on his back without <strong>Kristaps Porzingis –</strong> who got hurt in the playoffs – and pushed the overpowered <strong>Los Angeles Clippers </strong>to six games, and the scary part is that he’s just getting started.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-26">   </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Slovenian is far from his prime and even though he must improve as a three-point shooter and as a defender<strong>, there’s absolutely no reason to think that he can’t be the best player in the world in just 12 months from now.</strong></p>

Breakout season: Luka Doncic is the early betting favorite for 2021 NBA MVP

Breakout season: Luka Doncic is the early betting favorite for 2021 NBA MVP - Bolavip US

<p>The Western Conference Semifinals of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> playoffs have been as exciting as it gets. Contrary to what most people believed, the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/denver-nuggets-t100211" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Denver Nuggets</strong> </a>are giving the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Clippers </strong></a>a run for their money, with All-Star big man <strong>Nikola Jokic</strong>performing at a superlative level.</p>
<p>Jokic got going early in Game 3 and finished with 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 dimes on the losing effort. Moreover,<strong> he was all over Clippers’ big man Ivica Zubac</strong> and managed to foul him outin just 21 minutes.</p>
<p>However, Clippers’ stars <strong>Patrick Beverley and Paul George </strong>didn’t think that theSerbiancenter should have picked up that many foulsand that Jokic just put a lot of pressure on the referees with his ‘flailing’,<strong> which is the same thing Luka Doncic does.</strong></p>

He’s dominant on both ends of the floor and is the kind of tough competitor that could certainly help a lot of young <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> stars, including<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/luka-doncic-t118703" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> Luka Doncic</strong></a> and<strong> Mark Cuban’s</strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks.</strong></a></p>
<p>The <em>Greek Freak </em>is poised to win<strong> back-to-back MVPs </strong>and was recently named Defensive Player of the Year. However, that hasn’t translated to success with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/milwaukee-bucks-t100207" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Milwaukee Bucks</strong></a>, as his team dropped to a 0-2 hole vs. the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami Heat.</a></strong></p>
<p>Giannis <strong>will become a free agent in 2021</strong> and is eligible to sign the largest contract in basketball history. However, there’s a strong belief that he could consider forcing his way out of the Bucks if they underperform in the playoffs again.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>And, according to former <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> player and basketball analyst <strong>Brian Scalabrine</strong>, we shouldn’t cross the <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> out of the list of potential destinations, as they have the money and the personnel to pull it off.</p>
<h2>Brian Scalabrine Says Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Sign With The Dallas Mavericks</h2>
<p><em>“Of all the (stars), I think he would (leave the Bucks to join the Mavs). To leave a team, that’s a hard thing to do, especially if you’re a guy like him. Just think about <strong>Dirk Nowitzki.</strong> He was Dallas all the way, (and) it seems like Giannis is all the way (with the Bucks),”</em> Scalabrine said.</p>
<p>Giannis would have to ask for a trade next season for the Mavericks to make a move. If not, he could play the waiting game and run his contract before hitting free agency. Then, <strong>he’d be highly sought-after</strong> but the Mavs’ core and financial situation could play in their favor:</p>

<p>Certainly, a<strong>European Big 3 </strong>of Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Kristaps Porzingis would turn the team into a championship contender right away. Mark Cuban is known for taking fine care of his stars and the Mavs have a great culture as an organization.</p>

Good chance Mark Cuban pairs Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic, says former NBA player - Bolavip US

<p>There’s no doubt that <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/luka-doncic-t118703" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luka Doncic</strong></a> is a special talent. It didn’t take him long to prove the rest of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> thathe was the best player on his class and he’s turned the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong></a> into a playoff team. He’s been so good for the organization in so little time that even team owner<strong> Mark Cuban joked saying that <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/mavs-owner-mark-cuban-chooses-luka-doncic-over-his-wife-20200828-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he’d choose him over his wife.</a></strong></p>
<p>Doncic has been drawing comparisons to former legends of the game since day one. Prior to making it to the league, he was <strong>Toni Kukoc </strong>‘at best’. Now, people compare him to<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-15-Greatest-NBA-Players-of-All-Time-20200329-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Magic Johnson, Larry Bird</a>,</strong> and even<strong> LeBron James.</strong></p>
<p>Honestly, Doncic’s game has glimpses of all the aforementioned players but obviously, he’s also got it’s own touch, which is the way he controls the pace and dictates the rhythm of the offense<strong> even though he’s not fast.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-22">  <span class="item first"></span> <span class="item second"></span> <span class="item third"></span></div>
<p></p>
<p>The sky seems to be the limit for Doncic after his sophomore season. And, according to Mark Cuban, whether he’ll be good or great in the <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a><strong>will depend on how much he improves his three-point shooting going forward.</strong></p>
<h2>Mark Cuban Compares Luka Doncic To LeBron James</h2>
<p>Cuban went on record on a podcast sayingthat Doncic still has got a lot to learn, especially as a shooter, but stated that he’s got a pretty similar court vision and basketball IQ to LeBron James,<strong> as well as the ability to facilitatefor others despite being 6’7”:</strong></p>

<p>Mark may have a point here. Needless to say, Doncic isn’t nearly half of the athlete LeBron James is. LeBron is faster, stronger, and way more athletic. However, Luka’s got that kind of court vision, basketball IQ, and ability to create for others, either in the halfcourt, the post, or the pick-and-roll. Then again, let’s just the kid play and stop comparing him. <strong>He’s not ‘The Next XXX Player’, he’s Luka, and he’s great.</strong></p>

That’s why<strong> Marcus Morris </strong>did whatever he could to take him out of the competition, both literally and figuratively.</p>
<p>Morris stepped on his injured ankle in Game 5. Doncic and social media called him out for purposely trying to hurt him, so he took it to his Twitter accoun<strong>t to say that he’s a competitor and not a dirty player.</strong></p>
<p>And, in case people were wondering whether he did that on purpose or not,<strong> Morris shoved Doncic in the head</strong> with a dirty and unnecessary foul just 10 minutes into Game 6, thus being ejected with a flagrant two foul.</p>

<p>Doncic had to be contained to not retaliate, as he has clearly infuriated at Morris’ dirty attempts to hurt him or take him out of the game, and once again criticized him following his team’s loss by claiming <strong>that he didn’t want to deal with that kind of player.</strong></p>

<h2>Marcus Morris Mocks Luka Doncic Following Dirty Foul And Playoff Exit</h2>
<p>Things got even worse when Bleacher Report posted the quote of Doncic’s critics towards Morris on Instagram. Marcus didn’t take the high road and instead mocked the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Mavs’ </a>star by commenting <em><strong>‘Cry me a river. Clips in 6’.</strong></em></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Morris has earned a reputation around the league for that kind of behavior and the<a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> NBA</a> may look into that foul and comment to enforce a bigger penalty on him. So, if there were any doubts about Marcus’ intentions to hurt Doncic in Game 5, I think that pretty much clears the air. It’s ok to compete at the highest level, especially in the playoffs, but <strong>there’s just no room for dirty fouls in the game.</strong></p>

<p>No one, not even the most optimistic <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks’</strong></a> fan or scout ever thought that <strong>Luka Doncic</strong> was going to take the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> by storm as quickly as he did it. Team owner <strong>Mark Cuban, </strong>his coach <strong>Rick Carlisle</strong> and the organization as a whole were quite excited about him but <strong>no one ever saw this coming.</strong></p>
<p>Doncic became one of the best players in the world during his rookie season and only kept it going during his sophomore year, up to the point that<strong> he is already one of the most respected and feared players in the <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA.</a></strong></p>
<p>The Mavericks traded for <strong>Kristaps Porzingis</strong> to pair Luka with a fellow European offensive juggernaut and that move has surely paid off, as the team was able to make the playoffs and had a strong chance of upsetting the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Clippers.</strong></a></p>

<p><em>“If I had to choose between my wife and keeping Luka on the Mavs, <strong>catch me at my lawyer’s office prepping for a divorce,</strong>” </em>the entrepeneurtold Swishline. The funny part is that most people actually think he’s not lying.</p>
<p>Cuban has already admitted his regret fo<strong>r not being able to keep Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash together for longer</strong> and stated that he’s not going to let that happen again with their new European duo.</p>

<h2>Luka Doncic Is The NBA’s Biggest Sensation</h2>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/luka-doncic-t118703" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doncic</a> is coming off a Rookie of the Year campaign and somehow took it up a notch this season. He’s averaging a whopping<strong> 28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game</strong> and is a finalist for the Most Improved Player award, although those are MVP-caliber numbers.</p>

<p></p>
<p>The former Real Madrid standout has embraced his role as the leader of the organization after Dirk Nowitzki’s retirement and he’s clearly a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent, so yeah, <strong>we get why Cuban would choose him over his better half.</strong></p>

Mavs' owner Mark Cuban chooses Luka Doncic over his wife

Mavs' owner Mark Cuban chooses Luka Doncic over his wife - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> </strong>have fought with toes and nails during their first 5 games of the 1st round of the NBA playoffs.<strong> Luka Doncic’s</strong> heroics have kept the Mavs in contention despite the solid defensive efforts by <strong>Marcus Morris, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George.</strong></p>
<p>More impressively, Doncic has done most of his damage <strong>with a hurt ankle.</strong> He rolled it badly during the Clippers’ triumph in Game 3 but that hasn’t stopped him from stepping up when his team needs him most, even knocking down an epic game-winning three-pointer in overtime on Game 4.</p>
<p>That’s why the Clippers’ tough and physical defense needs to do a better job at trying to keep him in check, especially with<strong> Kristaps Porzingis </strong>out with a knee injury. However, it seems like Marcus Morris<strong> may have taken it a bit too far.</strong></p>

<h2>Marcus Morris Fired Back At Critics</h2>
<p>Morris was quick to deny the rumors <strong>and shut down the narrative</strong> of him stepping on Doncic’s bad ankle on purpose, claiming he plays the game with respect and that he wasn’t going to apologize because he didn’t do anything.</p>
<p><em>“I play this game with a level of respect for myself and other players. To think I would try to injure somebody is crazy to me. 10 years going against the best. I stand on morals and hard work. I compete and leave it out there every game.

Competing is why I play,”</em> Morris tweeted.<span></span></p>

Luka Doncic says Clippers' Marcus Morris tried to injure him - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Seth Curry</strong> can brag about being surrounded by two of the most electrifying players in recent basketball history: <strong>Luka Doncic and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/stephen-curry-fires-back-at-damian-lillard-comparisons-20200819-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry.</a></strong> He plays with one in the <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> and grew up next to the other, his big bro.</p>
<p>Seth is perhaps the most authorized person in the world when it comes to discussing both of their games. He’s seen them work on their craft on a daily basis <strong>and got to know them deeply beyond the basketball court.</strong></p>
<p>That’s why it didn’t strike as a surprise to see the Mavericks’ backup point guard compare <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/Top-25-young-NBA-players-set-to-become-stars-20200429-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doncic </a>to his brother Steph. According to Seth, t<strong>hey’re both special talents who approach the game in a very similar way:</strong></p>

<p><em>“It’s just the joy he plays with. He’s a young kid, and you can tell when he gets out on the floor he just loves the game. <strong>Honestly, it’s similar to Steph</strong>,” </em>Seth saidinThe Ryen Russillo Podcast.<em>“He’sjust out there having a lot of fun. He gets a lot of attention and can pass the ball and get it to me.<strong>He is special already,</strong>”</em> Curry concluded.</p>
<h2>Luka Doncic And Stephen Curry Go Way Back</h2>
<p>Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic worked out together secretlybefore the Slovenian’s rookie season and it was a moment he’ll cherish forever. <strong>He was reportedly starstruck</strong> when he met the 2-time MVP and<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/top-15-best-3-point-shooters-in-nba-history-20200812-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> greatest shooter of all time.</a></p>

<p><strong>Texas, our Texas, </strong>the football state, and the place where only the best athletes stand out among that many stars. Given their football tradition, there are some people that- surprisingly – don’t know how many <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/the-top-10-nba-teams-of-the-last-decade-20200722-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA teams </a>are in Texas.</p>

<p>Make no mistake,<strong> the<em>Lone Star State</em>loves basketball as much as it loves football or baseball,</strong> perhaps even more in some towns. That comes from the tradition and culture of three winning<a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>franchises with strong fanbases.</p>
<p>Unlike several states, Texas has seenits<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/all-nba-teams-how-many-franchises-are-there-20200721-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple NBA franchises</a> establish, grow, and develop there. Some relocated after a failed start elsewhere but they’ll now be there forever. In the following paragraphs, you’ll find out <strong>how many NBA teams are in Texas.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The San Antonio Spurs h</strong>ave always been tied to the great state of Texas. They were born in Dallas before moving to San Antonio, where they struggled early on and later became one of the most respected franchises in all professional sports.</p>
<p>The Spurs have set the standard for winning teams around the NBA. They’ve won at least 50 games in 18 straight seasons and own an <strong>NBA-record 22 consecutive playoff berths. </strong>It doesn’t get better than that.</p>
<h2>Houston Rockets</h2>

<p><strong>The Houston Rockets a</strong>re the only team in Texas that was born outside of the state. The owners struggled to make a buck during their days at San Diego so a group of investors took the team to<em>Space City </em>in the early-’70s.</p>
<p>The Rockets are the most popular franchise in the state and even though they’ve had plenty of ups and downs throughout their history,<strong> it’s only a matter of time before James Harden leads them to their 3rd NBA championship.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The Dallas Mavericks</strong> are the most recently established franchise in the state. They’ve built a strong culture and diehard fanbase right away and Dirk Nowitzki helped the team sell out tickets during his prime years.</p>
<p>The Mavericks won their lone NBA title in 2011 and have struggled with inconsistency ever since. However, they’ve put together the most promising young duo in the league with <strong>Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis</strong> so the future is bright for them.</p>

<p><strong>The NBA season </strong>is almost underway again. Players had a lot of time to heal, recover, and watch film ahead of the resumption of the season and it feels like, for the first time in <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>history, anything can happen in the playoffs.</p>

<h2>10. Jayson Tatum</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_jayson_tatum_crop1594669410019.jpg_1030179834_e70b8192.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Tatum was shooting 39% from deep this season. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Jayson Tatum</strong> was one of the hottest scorers in the league before the hiatus. He took a step forward as the Celtic’s leader and recently claimed that they have a legit shot at winning the Championship.</p>
<p>The 21-year-old is clearly one of the most talented and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/Top-25-young-NBA-players-set-to-become-stars-20200429-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promising </a>two-way players in the league and the <strong>Boston Celtics</strong> have enough depth to go the distance in the Eastern Conference. He’s been getting praise from legends like Scottie Pippen and it’s time he proves that he’s the real deal.</p>
<h2>9. Luka Doncic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:569" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_luka_doncic_crop1594669483288.jpg_1030179834_3f1aff35.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Doncic is averaging 28.7 points per game. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Nobody expected the <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong> to be championship contenders right away but they have one of the most talented duos in the world on <strong>Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingi</strong>s, so they could mess around and upset a couple of favorite teams along the way.</p>
<p>Doncic has plenty of <strong>playoffs experience from his time overseas </strong>and has a history of shining when it matters the most, so it’ll be nice to see him perform under pressure and see whether he can knock down a contender or not.</p>
<h2>8. Zion Williamson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_zion_williamson_crop1594669520000.jpg_1030179834_43917aad.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Zion is shooting 58% from the floor. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>New Orleans Pelicans</strong> have the easiest schedule for the remainder of the regular season and are currently 4 games behind the 8th seed. Whether they’ll be able to make the playoffs or not will almost entirely depend on how <strong>Zion Williamson</strong> delivers.</p>
<p>Williamson already proved that he’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent. He’s got an NBA-ready body and dominated opposing players like high-schoolers during his first 19 games as a rookie. <strong>The reigning 1st overall pick </strong>is poised for stardom, especially if he leads his team to the playoffs right now. He’s a human highlight film.</p>
<h2>7. Nikola Jokic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_nikola_jokic_crop1594669570688.jpg_1030179834_5b243ab1.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Jokic has posted 12 triple-doubles this season. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Nikola Jokic</strong> is one of the most talented big men we’ve ever seen but his shape let a lot to be desired for NBA standards. He’s now lost over 20 pounds and looks in the best shape of his career so it’ll be interesting to see how that translates to the hardwood.</p>
<p>Nobody has the<strong> Denver Nuggets</strong> on their plans but they have enough depth and talent to at least make the Western Conference Finals and a healthy, slim Nikola Jokic is terrible news for the rest of the league.</p>
<h2>6. Chris Paul</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Chris Paul </strong>is one of the top 5 greatest point guards in the history of the game. He’s proved it once again by taking the rebuilding <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder </strong>to the 5th best record in the West and has made them a legit dark horse candidate for the bubble.</p>
<p>Paul has never made an appearance in the NBA Finals and that’s the only stain on his remarkable resume. You know he’ll play with a chip on his shoulder and as if every game was his last to have the chance to <strong>finally prove his doubters wrong.</strong></p>

<h2>5. James Harden</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_james_harden_crop1594669647973.jpg_1030179834_2b97e73a.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Harden is leading the league with 34.4 points per game.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>James Harden</strong> is the most unstoppable scorer in the league but he has a long history of underperforming and choking in the playoffs. Now, he’ll likely have to deliver without Russell Westbrook (sick) by his side, so that’ll put even more pressure on his shoulders.</p>
<p>Harden has had three straight MVP-caliber seasons but is finally time he steps up in the playoffs. If Westbrook is unable to suit up, he’ll have to do it all again for the small-ball <strong>Houston Rockets </strong>and their high-octane offense. He’s lost a lot of weight during quarantine andcould post insane stat lines.</p>
<h2>4. Damian Lillard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_damian_lillard_crop1594669681870.jpg_1030179834_7fbf062e.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Lillard is averaging 7.8 assists per game. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Damian Lillard </strong>was recently announced as one of NBA 2K20’s cover athletes so he’ll have to back down the talk with top-tier performances in the hardwood. The<strong> Portland Trail Blazers</strong> are three games behind the 8th seed in the West and it’ll be up to him to lead them to the playoffs again.</p>
<p>The Blazers will reportedly have <strong>Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins</strong> back in the lineup and that’ll give them a major boost but they’ll only get as far as Lillard can get them. He’s got unlimited range as a shooter and has proven to be the clutchest player in the league,.</p>
<h2>3. Kawhi Leonard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_kawhi_leonard_crop1594669715666.jpg_1030179834_e94d672d.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Leonard is averaging 1.8 steals per game. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Kawhi Leonard</strong> made a strong case for being the best player in the world last season. He led the Toronto Raptors to their first-ever Finals appearance and Championship and is now trying to do the same for the <strong>Los Angeles Clippers </strong>and win his third ring with three different franchises.</p>
<p>There’s no doubt that Leonard is<strong> the best two-way player in the league.</strong> He’s finally back at full strength after two seasons of load management so the time for excuses is over. The Clippers are about to unleash the Klaw after four months of rest and that’s terrifying.</p>
<h2>2. Giannis Antetokounmpo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_giannis_antetokounmpo_crop1594669782296.jpg_1030179834_dc3369a8.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   Giannis is averaging just 30.9 minutes per game. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo</strong> is reportedly leading the polls to win both the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year award this season. Still, there are serious concerns regarding his ability to dominate in the playoffs when defenses start collapsing the paint and double or triple-teaming him.</p>
<p><em>The Greek Freak</em> can play and guard all five spots in the floor and he’s clearly a great leader for his team but he’ll need to start knocking down shots and/or creating for others if the Bucks want to translate their best record in the league <strong>to a trip to the NBA Finals.</strong></p>
<h2>1. LeBron James</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="333" data-size="w:1024,h:570" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200713_BUS_163284_lebron_james_crop1594669815356.jpg_1030179834_d07ad8d2.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>   James is leading the league with 10.1 assists per game.

<p></p></div>
<p>We’re about to see<strong> LeBron James</strong> as we have never seen him before. He’s about to enter the playoffs after 4 months to fully heal his body, meaning he’ll be at his peak physically despite being 35 years old. Honestly, the only thing that could slow him down this year was his age and now that he’s well-rested, there’s nothing anyone can do to stop him.</p>
<p>James is on a mission. He knows that winning a ring with the Lakers and leading three franchises to Championships will have a huge impact on his legacy. <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/Ranking-the-top-40-of-LeBron-James-teammates-from-worst-to-best-NBA-20200527-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The King</a> is one of the greatest playoff performances of all time and <strong>he’s ready to unleash his wrath</strong> and demolish every single player who stands on his way.</p>
