NBA superstar Luka Doncic is having one of his best seasons in the league and is in the running for the MVP award this season. His performances this season have garnered huge praise from many. Former NBA star J. J. Reddick recently made an appearance on The Old Man & The Three podcast with the founder of Barstool Sports Dan Katz. During the sit-down, Katz talked about Joe Burrow’s “unflappable” confidence. Reddick played with Doncic for the Mavs in the 2021 NBA season.

Reddick drew parallels between Luka Doncic and NFL superstar Joe Burrow. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback is also having a great season similar to Doncic. Burrow recently led his team to a brilliant divisional-round win.

During the podcast, Dan Katz stated that it astonishes him how quietly confident Burrow is. The millionaire businessman said, “If you ever played any team sport or been in any office setting anything, there’s always one person who has that quiet confidence that you look to when sh*t goes south and it’s like, ‘Well, if we’ve got them, we’re okay.’ Who is that for you?”

Without any hesitation, Redick replied, “Luka”. He added Luka Doncic is never afraid of any moment and he is never going to back down. The former Mavericks guard noted that Luka’s only agenda is winning. Katz then added that it will help the confidence of his teammates as well and Reddick agreed to the notion. Katz added, “Like I think Joe Burrow’s confidence and his unflappability then leads his teammates to feel the same type of superpower.”
