Luka
how many finals luka been to
suns are 2-0 against the clippers in the playoffs, mavs are 0-2, i dont trust a player who cant beat my trash ahh team
Come on bro lol. Booker doesn’t even remotely compare to Luka.
I think Luka is better, and more importantly he’s younger, so he’s the obvious answer to this question. But if we’re just talking right now, saying they don’t “remotely compare” is stupid.
I’d argue that Booker is easier to build around because he could fit into every team in the league. He’s a better defender than Luka and he’s a FAR better off-ball player than Luka.
(Again, yes I agree Luka is better but they’re absolutely “comparable”, they’re both top 10 players)
Ok - not “remotely compare” is a bit harsh on Booker…wasn’t Booker 36PPG at 70% TS in the playoffs last year? Luka’s playoff runs are legendary but Booker has shined as well
Idk Luka is probably like the 4th or 5th best player in the league and Booker is probably 8th or 9th best
It’s still Luka overall yes but I do think that this comment section is somewhat overestimating the gap
For real…I believe Luka is better but some people here have literally no respect for what Booker is and what he’s done…
Starting a team from scratch, Luka obviously come on.
But if you already got a team and need someone to join, Booker is the choice. Not many superstars are plug and play. See the 2020 (2021) Olympics when Booker turned into a off-ball role player. Ironically KD is the premier example for plug and play.
Nah that’s cap I’d like to see the team that would rather have booker
Name a team in the league you’d rather have booker than luka on
I genuinely believe Luka and Booker are going to parallel Lebron and KD. Not in terms of achievements clearly, but in terms of their play styles, it’s the closest. Booker has got to the best pure scorer of this new generation while Luka has more of an ability to do a bit of everything
People genuinely think there’s an enormous gap between the two. There isn’t (and that is coming from someone who thinks Luka is better)
Also read something interesting. There are two players in the top 7 in both scoring and assists. Luka and Booker.
Been a Celtics fan since 2005ish and I’d give both Brown and Tatum for Luka.

On the surface it’s luka. But in reality you want booker. He has proven to attract other stars because they want to play with him. He’s also a basketball chameleon. He can be your on ball playmaker, your off ball killer, a combination of both. And he can fit with any talented group of player in the league.
Luka plays 1 way and you need to build the roster a specific way for him and stars generally aren’t that attracted to playing with him because the ball is always in his hands.
