The career trajectories of Luka Doncic and LeBron James are eerily similar.
Both were tasked to save a franchise in shambles after a good era.
Led by Ohio native Ron Harper, the Cleveland Cavaliers had a good stretch in the late 80s-early 90s.
Led by Euro superstar Dirk Nowitzki, the Dallas Mavericks had a dominant decade in the 2000s, winning the title in 2011.
Both franchises ushered in a new era under the same formula.
The Cavs turned to an Ohio native to lead them into a new age.
The Mavs turned to a Euro superstar to help them rise from the ashes.
It didn't work for them during their first 7 years.
Despite all the accolades,
All the stats,
All the playoff appearances,
All the finals games,
They had no rings to show for it.
Now they're together, and in Los Angeles, where stars shine the brightest.
The most productive scorer in NBA history alongside a guard nicknamed "Magic"?
Different era, same formula.
Los Angeles Lakers fans, it's TIME for a SHOW.
