One fan believes Luka Doncic is a better basketball player than Michael Jordan.

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is en route to having the best season of his NBA career this campaign.

After all, he is averaging 38.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game for the Lakers and has carried the team on his back.

Evidently, he is a favourite to win the regular-season MVP, but one fan on X went a step further and claimed that Doncic is a better basketball player than NBA legend Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan supporters bash fan for saying Luka Doncic is better

Most NBA fans consider Jordan to be the best basketball player of all time and arguably one of the most complete athletes to ever step foot on the hardwood.

While Doncic is on a path to becoming a legend, one X user, ‘Mason Carter,’ thinks that the Lakers superstar has already surpassed MJ in terms of basketball prowess.

The fan did mention that it doesn’t mean that Doncic has a better resume than Mike, but the Chicago Bulls legend’s supporters were still left furious.

“Jordan was never a crybaby like Luka is,” a fan wrote. While another added, “Yo kid, get off your Mommy’s phone.”

“Yeah ok other than he doesn’t play defense or hasn’t won a title yet, let alone six of them,” a third fan compared MJ and Luka’s resumes.

“There’s not a single thing Luka does better than Mike on the basketball court!” a fourth fan claimed. A fifth fan simply stated, “Jordan was an elite scorer, elite defender, and dominated both ends of the floor. Luka isn’t even in the same conversation defensively.”

Most fans admit that Doncic is phenomenal on the offensive end of the floor, but his lack of defensive effort and absence of major accolades make it extremely hard to have him in the same conversation as the GOAT.
