Fat Joe asks LeBron about what makes Luka different, and fans can see the response below.

"His size. I mean he’s a 6’8 point guard. He’s 225 pounds. He has the ball on a string, and more importantly, his vision. That’s why I love him- his vision. He can control a game. He doesn’t even have to shoot."

King James went on to discuss how Doncic is a master in the pick and roll, and he uses his mind to break down any defense. Fans can hear LeBron discuss it and watch the full episode of The Shop below.

Luka Doncic is far from a finished product. The 23-year-old still has a lot of room to grow and expand his game. He is already back to work this summer as he looks to take another step forward. It will be a busy offseason for Luka as he plans to play in two different competitions for the Slovenian National Team before returning to Dallas for training camp.
