Luka has been playing in EuroLeague for Real Madrid. It’s a different time. Dirk was a rare rare thing then. Now, it’s normal for a guy to come from Europe and be good right away. But Luka’s not normal in any way. He has a chance to be better than Dirk and Dirk is one of the best players we ever had. That says how incredible of a player and talent Luka is.”
