Mark Cuban on Luka Doncic vs. Dirk Nowitzki #nba #mavericks #lukadoncic

Do you think that Luka Dončić has a chance to be the greatest Maverick ever? But like, obviously Dirk is who Dirk is.

Yeah, no disrespect to Dirk. Dirk knows I love him to death, right? Dirty and I go way, way back. But Dirk will be the first one to tell you Luka's better. That's interesting.

Dirk put me in the blender at 40, barely being able to run, man. So I got nothing but—

I don't think he can jump over the line, right? But he can shoot and he's smart. But you needed to get him the ball.

That's the difference.

Yes. You know? And that's part of what's changed. Like, you need, almost have to have a 6'6", 6'7", 6'8" guy who can control the ball and get a shot, you know, or get shots for others because the game is so much faster and so much more skilled, right? Whereas before, you knew that there would be somebody good guarding Dirk and they would double him, but you just had to get him the ball in one of his spots and let him go to work. The game has changed. You can't just do that anymore.
