Paul George is no stranger to giving his opinion on NBA topics. This is especially true with his podcast, “Podcast P. ”

George recently gave his opinion on Luka Doncic, claiming he has the chance to become the greatest international player of all time.

“We’re talking about being the biggest international player now,” George said. “That’s surpassing GOATs, you know what I mean? That’s surpassing Dirk, that’s surpassing Tony Parker, that’s surpassing Hakeem. He’s got a chance to be the biggest international guy.

“Surpassing Giannis, in a way. He’s got a chance to be one of the best to ever do it. His game is just way older than what he is. He’s tough, man. He’s a problem. Big fan of Luka. And he talks that sh*t too. He’s a child killer.”

Has Luka cemented himself as the best international hooper?

Doncic has certainly proved how great he already is in his seven seasons. He certainly has a chance to go down as the greatest international player in NBA history. He’ll have to win a championship first.
