It’s also a situation where if Luka retired tomorrow, some people are arguing he’s already a Hall of Famer based solely on his European league career.
His NBA legacy isn’t solidified yet but he’s in the conversation for an MVP and I think he has enough raw ability to be the top guy on a championship team.
But if he retired tomorrow, he has an arguable hall of fame career at age twenty-five. How rare is that? He probably wouldn’t be considered an all-time great but his overall career including Europe is above-average even without individual NBA accolades. He’s already been named Euroleague MVP and that’s pretty much unanimously the second-best league in the world.
He won’t be a Jordan or LeBron level GOAT contender but if he can get over the hump, he could very well have an outstanding basketball legacy.
