Players like Antetokounmpo, Morant, and Doncic often come into the mix when talking about the future of the NBA. Experts often pick Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic over other players. But NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal believes Shai Gilgeous Alexander is better than Luka Doncic.
Former NBA player Shaquille O’Neal said:
“Luka is a fabulous player, but this kid (Shai Gilgeous Alexander)? I’m taking him right now!”
Here is the complete statement:
“Luka is a fabulous player, but this kid? Listen, he plays the right way and gets his teammates involved. I’m taking him right now.”
