22 thoughts on “LeBron vs. Luka – The Ultimate Comparison

  1. lebron played 7 minutes per game more in his rookie season. that’s over 20% more playing time. that was left out entirely. and makes lukas numbers look better.

  2. Luka hasn't even made it to a conference final. WTF are you talking about? He's a great shooter but gets bounced in the playoffs. I'm a massive Lebron critic but comparing a man who went to 8 or 9 straight NBA Finals to a dude who just made it to the second round is absurd. Hell, TRAE YOUNG has done more than Luka. WTF are you smoking?

  3. luka is actually pretty good on defence its just that man is always tired asf because the dude is carrying the mavs offence pretty much alone

  4. Look I get it, I get it, but oh my god Luka doesn’t even compare LeBron is way better than Luka and you could’ve compared LeBron to Jordan but you can’t compare a 3rd year dude to a NBA legend bro.

  5. Pardon me for upsetting your apple cart but you’re off base just a bit. You criticize Luka for not being as athletic as LeBron while stating how average he is physically. Luka’s numbers are better then LeBron’s. While I might ad he touches and has possession of the ball less. James has had control of the Rock more than any player in league history. While in Cleveland his first go round he held possession almost 60% of the time as what you called a point forward. Yet for all the extra time of possession his stats are not better than Luka’s, why if he’s so much better? For time of possession Luka produces more period, not even close. For being so unathletic he sure manages to school all the athletes in the league without muscling them. Just old school finesse, IQ and ability. LeBron is one of the most gifted to ever play the game and has shown incredible talent for years. He plays a different type of game and his athleticism is phenomenal. That said it is evident that Luka does more with less than LeBron. You say that by default in your own dialogue. The beauty of basketball is the variety of talent that blends together to create a winning chemistry. The comparison of players by us fans is common but can be very controversial by our preference or prejudice. Certain stats can be deceiving while others are overlooked. Production by time of possession is almost never considered in these discussions yet can be an effective basis for thought. Another stat that is deceiving but quoted all the time is shooting percentage. A player who dunks the ball more should have a much higher percentage rate than one who predominantly shoots jump shots. A dunk is rarely missed although it happens occasionally while shots from the floor are considered good near 50%. My thought is dunks should not be counted when figuring shooting percentage as they are not really a shot from the floor and inflate actual shooting efficiency.
