WATCH THIS STORY: How Luka came from Europe and made it big.
If we consider the style of play and the position both NBA superstars play at, LeBron and Luka have a lot in common. LeBron has also played as a guard most of his career. Luka also has been at times as dominant as LeBron as a guard. Luka has one more specialty that makes him comparable to LeBron. His defensive capabilities are very important for the Dallas Mavericks. It is comparable to the peak of LeBron when he used to defend more than he does now. Even now his capability to put in the effort is unmatched and that is what Luka seems to be all about. Luka is a game changer and he can win games single handedly just like LeBron has done all his career.
