Luka’s leadership differs from Dirk’s, but both have one thing in common
J.J. Barea sees one major difference between Luka Doncic at age 21 and Dirk Nowitzki back when he was a spry young star chasing a championship.
“With Dirk, it was almost impossible to beat him in a 3-point contest,” Barea said Sunday. “With Luka, I got a chance.”
Beyond that, and the fact that they play different positions, Barea and the rest of the Mavericks can see a lot of similarities between the greatest player in franchise history and the youngster now charged with being the next great Maverick.
