And Luka gets to play where half off his genetic material came from (Larry Bird's loins. The other half from Magic Johnson's, which were deeply scrubbed.)
But I cannot think of a more apt comparison of Luka's game than Magic and Bird's.
Magic: PG, charismatic, full-court court vision, triple-double machine, overall play style.
Bird: Ridiculous shot making and range, low-post game, underrated defense, TRASH TALKER. White.
We all know Bird was white, a shit talker, great passer, and un-athletic. Just like Luka, so I don't know why that point had to be made. Luka is a much better deep shooter than Bird though IMO. Bird is probably his best comp. Now he has to win titles like him.
