    I genuinely believe Luka and Booker are going to parallel Lebron and KD. Not in terms of achievements clearly, but in terms of their play styles, it’s the closest. Booker has got to the best pure scorer of this new generation while Luka has more of an ability to do a bit of everything

    People genuinely think there’s an enormous gap between the two. There isn’t (and that is coming from someone who thinks Luka is better)

      This is an interesting view of it I think objectively Luka is a consensus top 3-5 player in the league which is gonna trump that most nba fans would say Book is somewhere between 6-12 so that kinda naturally answers the question when you ask public forum

      But it’s definitely really close tbh. Book has absolutely dominated the matchup in the regular season but Luka has the upset victory in the playoffs which does carry the most weight

      I think what gets lost is that Book is an incredible off ball player. I think last year Book was rated a top 3 off ball player with KD and Steph. Luka can never do that and he never will be able to do that

      Book is elite on ball and off ball and as a playmaker and a scorer. Underrated defender. It’s definitely worth a discussion imo. Luka is in a tier of his own as a playmaker and on ball threat. One of the best heliocentric players ever

        I agree. I like Luka more but seriously - Booker is amazing. Lights out shooter, amazing offball player, efficient…people act like I’m not comparing THE best SG in the game rn to Luka. It’s not that far of a gap
