Well, the Mavericks guard has been terrific in pressure situations. Seth says his dominance in the game is what matches LeBron. “Him (Luka) and James are very similar in the way they dominate the ball. They make probably 75 of the plays throughout the game and they put up big numbers. I mean, it’s hard to take the ball out of their hands.”

Compared to the new generation players, Luka has attained a high notch in his few years in the NBA. Moreover, many people have great expectations from him and are eager to know what he’ll achieve in the coming years. But Seth seems rather confident. “He (Luka) can be one of the best to ever do it when it’s all set and done.”

James and Doncic posses similar stature as well. That may also make their game look alike. “The way he (Luka) sees the floor, it’s similar to LeBron. He’s so big, he can see everything and he can make the passes too,” Seth added. “His passing is ridiculous, man.”
