I can’t believe Shaq still doubts what Luka can do in the playoffs, I mean have we forgotten what he did to the suns just 2 seasons ago!! The Clippers!? I mean dude no defense can stop Luka now but in the playoffs he plays like GOD

So Luka is Dirk, Bird, and Harden? I like it

Shaq really don’t fw Luka🤣🤣🤣

Luka is MVP for all I care🤷

Luka will break MJs record for most points in a playoff game this year.

Luka is way more skilled than dirk has ever been even at his peak

LMAO Shaq must’ve forgot how much Luka averages in the Playoffs.

LUKA 100% mvp. Only candidate that won 2 player of the month (Feb and Mar)

Jordan won his first championship at 27. Luka just turned 25. Bad argument.

Luka is absolutely incredible. How can you be the leading scorer and not be in the MVP conversation. Outside of Jokic, who does the same elite level stuff. Nobody is better skill wise. I don’t know how people don’t see this.

Skill wise there's no question Luka is way better than Dirk and that's coming from a long time Mavs fan. Luka's trajectory at minimum will be top 15 player of all time. But as of now Dirk is still the greatest Maverick of all time because of that goated 2011 championship run.

I agree with what Candace said about comparing which player was better bc the games were different in each era. Shes right, to even ask "Who is greater". It is a prisoner of the moment and since Dirk is more out of mind, you forget how great and legendary Dirk was. And how much he meant to Dallas and thei first 7 footer to play like the big men today

I’m glad somebody is giving Dirk his flowers! 11’ championship was greatest run of all time!

Only the host ever has Luka's back. No, you don't need a championship to see that one player is better than another. I love Dirk because he changed the game for big men. But Luka is just a better player and Shaq needs to start giving him his flowers. Idgaf about Parker's or Crawford's take cause they not worthy.

Shaq is a delusional old head now 😂

shaq loves romanticizing the past

Lamar Odom couldn’t be relied on. Even in his era me and my friends thought this dude is 7 feet tall but could never be the guy.

I love how they all have a clear box for their feet except for shaq to make them all level.

Luka a dawg

He definitely could but he still has some work to do Dirk- 14x all star,12x all NBA ,2011 NBA champion, 06-07 MVP, 2010-2011 finals MVP Luka - 5x all star, 4x All NBA, 18-19 All rookie

I’m a home town Mavs fan. This guy Luka does everything better then Dirk. I mean EVERYTHING!!!! He scores more, he assists more, he rebounds more, he controls the pace of the game. It’s not even close. Championships is a team accolade, individually, it’s not even close.

Luka is the best player in the NBA right now.

Dirk is #1 until Luka can bring a championship to the mavs like dirk did. Mind you Dallas went to the finals TWICE

Devin George catching strays 🤣what a throwback

Lamar Oden in this conversation???? 😂😂

Anybody know the name of the song that was playing when they showed those highlights starting at 2:32?

Dallas native here. This city will never love another athlete as much as we love Dirk.

EVERYTHING' ALWAYS TRYIN TO TAKE AWAY FROM LUKA ... NO ONE IS SAYIN HIS CAREER IS OVER DIRK.... IS LUKA A BETTER...PLAYER... HEs WAY BETTER

I think Dirk had 10 straight 50 win seasons. It's too soon because Luka hasn't had one, let alone a Finals MVP or Regular season MVP.

Luka is greater than Dirk. It's not all about team success. As a player, Luka is WAY MORE of a complete player. Luka is young lebron who cant jump.

Shaq for once made a good point, it's the OTHERS for Mavs Thing is, the Others have been amazing, Luka can't be stopped, Kyrie is pacing himself to show up when needed, the Centers are tremendous and prob the best center duo in the league. The 3pt shooting have been below average, but when they do hit shots, games like against the Rockets or Sac happen, if they don't, they still grind the wins out. The win against Denver was them having a terrible shooting night, Denver was also shooting badly but that's because they have size to bother Jokic and Murray now.

Dirk is the greatest mavs player ever but Luka is the best …2 different things

This is when the show misses Chuck. He would've told it straight and not allowed Shaq to come up with his shitty analysis.

Luka and Kyrie is gonna be a wild playoffs run they both clutch players they both can do alot of things really well.

Pj and gafford will be important in the playoff, a lot of lob and assist will be coming for those two from luka and kyrie

Luka is Luka just enjoy the greatness now

Guess what skill excludes. Heart, integrity, work ethic, effort, mental toughness etc. Let's give these kids time to actually do something before we crown them. Please

In terms of talent, I think Luka has surpassed Dirk. However, in the Hearts of the fans, Dirk will be number 1. He is the definition of humility and loyalty, stuck around 21 years, and put the franchise on the map while also having revolutionized the game with his style of play and won them their first and only championship. It's going to be hard for Luka to overcome Dirk in Dallas.

Lamar Odom she says... Woman 😃

Did this bih really just compare lamar odom to Luka 💀

Why does my man in the beige suit look like he’s a kid sitting on the adult’s table. Got that big ass foot react so his feet aren’t dangling in the air. 😂

Luka is obviously a better player than Dirk. It just kills sports media to recognize Luka even the slightest bit.

Since the All-Star break, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving have lead the league in 1st half points and 2nd half points! 🤯🔥

How can you compare two players and bring up rings? Championships are a team effort

Luka Doncic MVP this season 🤔🧐🤨

ive watched Dallas for 20 years 82 games a year. Obviously, Luka is the best. But don't be bring that topic to us Dallas fans. We love Dirk more than ANYBODY. Dirk is still #1 to the old mavs fans.

Old heads don't like it when a younger player is praised for being better than the old players. I don't know why, but it seems like if they agree to those types of questions. Then it will somehow also diminish anything they accomplished during those times. It's like a *"I can't agree, because if I do it's like saying the younger generation is better than the old generation, and by saying that it will also make me look like I wasn't that good".* Look, anyone with no ego to save and half a brain can see that Luka is already better than Durk was. But that's not a knock on Dirk because we all know how good Dirk was.

Luka is HeeeeM! Can dance is dope as an analyst. Very underrated

Dallas would be detroit if luka wasn't there , both winning and being on the map wise

Luka clear MVP

Lamar Odom???!!! Wtf she smoking

Ok you’re the media, give it more credit lmao

Luka is supposed to be better than Dirk. A lot of us ignore evolution and how the game evolves and the skill level gets higher and higher thru eras. What were we doing as kids? Copying those moves on tv and using them in our catalogue thus evolving the game. The same cycle continues. Winning championships is another conversation

if you are okc and you get offer luka for sga 1:1, they are doing it in a heartbeat.. what really does most VALUABLE player mean if it doesn’t factor in their value as a player

you cant say luka isnt better than dirk and then go ahead and say "you dont want to see him in a 7 game series". ive been a mavs fan since 2000 and no one ever said that about dirk before the playoffs. dirk is a dawg though.

I love Shaq to death but after his “Angel Reese is the best athlete outta LSU” I gotta question his sanity rn

Luka should be MVP front runner , then Jokic/Shai

Anyone ever notice those clear boxes they have for the panel's feet? Except for Shaq I mean lmao

Shaq is right…let Luka cook a little more he still has so much more basketball left to play in his career…he’s well on his way to the hall of fame though…

Luka is on pace to be the best player since Jordan, Dirk himself will tell you hes better. And stfu about "do stats mean what they mean" the league is more skilled than ever

Shaq " Twonce" lol

Dirk is the guy in dallas he has that statue out front for a reason. This won’t change at least until another championship is here. If you want to know who is better at the game of basketball it’s Luka no question. He’s one of the best I’ve ever seen he’s on another level.

take a shot every time someone says "point"

Dirk is #1 until futher notice, Luka is definitely gonna be #1 soon but u cant discredit what Dirk did and what he was up against.

Someone bragging on the Clippers when Luka madevthe wcf before Kawhi and PG Clippers 😂😂😂

Candace always cops out with the 'prisoner of the moment' argument. Take a stand. Was Dirk a great player? Absolutely. But Luka's skill set is clearly another level up. Eye test people. Maybe Candace doesn't actually watch the games?

Mavs are 5 seed, give him MVP

Draythug

Luka is the best Maverick of all time, Dirk is the greatest. Luka definitely has the opportunity to surpass Dirk though.

I agree with shaq… dantoni never won and stats don’t mean anything without the ring…

Dirk has literally said he’s better than me like 3x at that point how can you argue with the actual man

I agree with Candice, imagine Dirk in this era!!!??? Would be crazy🔥🔥 shout to her for backing one of the goats up!! That championship run was one of the best.

Luka has the box score numbers, but there is more to become a Legend. Dirk is a Legend. Luka may become one, but boxscore numbers will not be enough.

Lol what more do u need to see that Luka is a better player than Dirk? man, he broke nearly all of Dirk Mavs records already in 14 less seasons lol lol

Luka after this season would already have more 1st team all nbas than Curry and Dirk. He’s already better than Dirk as a Mavs but ppl will forever confuse greater vs better.

damn this young guys didnt know how good dirk back in the early 2000

Shaq needs to stop hating on Luka

As a Mavs fan, I want OKC in the the playoffs. If Lively is healthy, Mavs beat OKC in 5.

The comparison to Dirk is nonsense. Luka should be compared to Harden and Magic Johnson. It's a little tedious these white guy comparisons. Bird/Dirk etc.

Luka is going to be better than Jordan just watch every day is playing better and better

It always goes back to the GOAT!!!

Shaq used all his brain power for investing and forgot how to read stats.

Luka is the best Caucasion to ever touch a basketball 💯

Day # infinity of media's dumb comparisons

Dirk is the best, but luka is the more well-rounded. Obviously, Luka is more skilled in just about every way besides pure shooting, but Dirk had longevity, plus he revolutionized the game. He also led dallas to its first ever chip while having 10+ 50 win seasons in a brutal western conference that featered duncans spurs, kobes Lakers teams, the 2 second suns with nash, webber and the kings, garnett and the wolves. Another thing that gets overlooked is how clutch/efficient dirk was in the clutch. Especially the playoffs. Luka will probably go down as the better player, but without Dirk, there would be no Luka so let's appreciate the greatness that basketball fans have had a chance to witness on a nightly basis for decades past and decades to come!

People from later generations will always have prospects that are better than the previous generations. It's just the natural flow of things. A lot of players today grew up watching guys like Dirk, Kobe, Shaq, Nash, Lebron, Wade, Etc... they patterned their games to their idols and obviously that will produce an abundance of skilled players. That being said, at this stage of his career, Luka is on pace to edge out Dirk as the best player in a Mavs uniform IF 1. He wins multiple MVPs (He's my pick this season) 2. Wins more than 1 championship Shaq is right. It's just too early to crown Luka.

Im a big Luka fan but I was around for all the DIrk years and usually Shaq's hating annoys me but hes kinda right.

Luka is a playoff monster, an all-time great playoff career is still in front of him at just 25.

Mark cuban is supposed to hype up his guy but it’s too soon to say Luka over dirk when Luka hasn’t sniffed a finals appearance. Let alone won one

I just realized everybody has a little box for their feet so they can all be at Shaq’s height. 😂

Lamar Odom is a grrrREAT point of reference Ms. Candice! 🫡🤙🏾🫡💜

Question was who's the better player? No question the same age when Dirk of.LD's age? Luka is way better... but if the question is who's the greatest Mavs? Different conversation, Dirk... without question

As a die hard Lebron fan. This question is just crazy. Dirk beat Lebron. D Wade, Bosh, and every role player by himself. Let Luka win a ship then he possibly could be in the convo as best maverick ever. But as of right now. This is crazy. Dirk is the Mavericks 🐐

Call Mark Jackson PRONTO!

LETS GO MAVS

Luka is better but not greater yet. Luka has the potential to become a top 15 player tho.

I think Shaq has a point. Luka may be better than Dirk, but he’s not greater than him yet. There’s a difference. Greatness is about more than skill, and Dirk’s 2011 playoff run is the greatest of all time in my opinion. I do think, though, that Luka will probably surpass Dirk.

Luka has never beat the clippers in the playoffs and has a losing record vs Kawhi…how does he own them?

So Steve curr is better than Chuck.... ok....

Luka Doncic definitely deserves MVP. Number 1 in Scoring Number 2 in 3PM Number 3 in Assists Number 7 in Steals How is this not MVP worthy?
