A motivated Shaq would have won at least 6 titles. Luka definitely seems to be more motivated regarding basketball than Shaq ever was. So I'm cool with that comparison

This is exactly why I want to get Buddy. Having a lethal shooter like him means you cannot pack the paint which gives Luka better spacing.

It's too early to say if Luka has more Shaq than Kobe in him or vice versa. I will say I don't see how anyone could compare him to Kobe yet. It's pretty well known MJ and Kobe had 2 of the best work ethics of all time. Luka is extremely competitive on the court, but so was Shaq. Shaq's problem was he wouldn't put in the time off the court to keep his body right. Had Shaq had Kobe or MJ's mindset, he would probably have been considered a top 3-5 player of all time. He probably would have won 6 titles like previously mentioned. I'm not ready to say Luka is one or the other yet, but I don't see how anyone could think he's Kobe like yet. Maybe he will be. Time will tell.
