Among the guests of the fourth episode of the fifth season of Uninterrupted The Shop, LeBron James talked about Slovenian sensation Luka Doncic.
“His size. I mean he’s gigantic. A 6-8 point guard. He’s 225 pounds. He has the ball on a string. And more importantly, his vision. That’s why I love him,” he replied to a question about what makes the Dallas Mavericks leader special.
James, 37, recently called Doncic his favorite player in the league adding to his praise for the 23-year-old Slovenian.
“He can control a game. He doesn’t even have to shoot. Literally, he’ll walk the ball up ten straight times and get to his spot every single time, just because of his pace,” he added to the conversation with fellow guests of the show shared on YouTube, “He knows when he comes off a pick and roll if they’re hard showing or if they hedging or if they dropping the pick and roll. He knows I can turn the corner because I got this shoulder, and I know the third line of defense, when I get there, if I just slow down and use my pivots, not even jump, just the Euro one-two, this guy’s flying by every time. It’s the mind.”
Earlier, the Los Angeles Lakers player discussed post-retirement plans. “I wanna stay around the game, for sure, forever,” he confirmed and debated between a TV role or owning a team, “I wanna buy a team. I would much rather own a team before I talk. I want to own a team in Vegas.”
