Colin Cowherd is no strange to making a headline. The radio personality recently discussed his thoughts on Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic. Even comparing Doncic to a former NBA superstar. However, the comparison doesn't highlight their shared positive impacts on the game. But rather everything that is wrong with the said duo. Cowherd believes Doncic is going down the path of a future NBA Hall-of-Famer. Let the Doncic and Carmelo Anthony comparisons begin.
"We're falling in love with this great hyper, offensive player. Moody, difficult, needs ball, won't defend. Is he gonna end up [like] Carmelo Anthony?" The comparison may not be off-based to many who followed Anthony's career. The former New York Knicks star was one of the greatest offensive weapons in the league. However, his defense left a lot to be desired. Those positives and negatives are the exact statements people use to describe Luka. However, Doncic is looking to shed the stigma that he is a bad defensive player.
Colin Cowherd Sees Carmelo In Luka
Anthony's legacy seems somewhat tarnished after his stints with Oklahoma City and Houston. It was no secret that Melo's role was changing after his exit from New York. However, the scoring machine didn't see it that way. Doncic could soon find himself in the same situation. The Dallas guard has even mentioned the struggles he has on the defensive end. Suggesting that he has to get better on that side of the ball. A big reason as to why the team will be sitting at home during the playoffs. But not the entire reason.
Doncic has a lot to work on. But the Mavericks even have more to do when planning the team's future. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has recently mentioned that signing Kyrie Irving will be the top priority this offseason. However, will the all-star guard even be interested in coming back? If Irving does decide to return, what will that mean for Luka's future with the organization? Drop your predictions on the future of the Mavericks franchise and Colin Cowherd's comments.
