The Slovenian has been knocking down some of the records of the Bulls myth and has won the comparison with some of the great legends of the NBA.

“Luka just makes the game simple and fun, that’s why you have to give him credit. He has the talent to go two-on-one, but he keeps it simple and then gives us a little more gas on the defensive end. He does the easy thing,” said the Mavericks coach before referring to the six-time NBA champion.
