Carmelo Anthony is one of the best players in NBA history.

Since retiring, the future Hall of Famer has had a successful podcast (7 PM in Brooklyn).

Following Sunday’s trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony made a bold statement about the 25-year-old superstar.

Anthony (via his podcast): “I think we going to see a different Luka. He understand the bright lights. Him going to LA, putting that Lakers jersey on, can like ignite a whole differnt fuse that pepple haven’t even seen yet. Bron can actually get to Luka and show him the work ethic, how to get in shape.”

Doncic is expected to form one of the best duos in the NBA with LeBron James.

He comes to the Lakers with averages of 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.0 steals per contest while shooting 46.4% from the field and 35.4% from the three-point range.

Despite James being 40, he still remains one of the top-25 players in the league.

The four-time NBA Champion is averaging 24.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 9.1 assists per contest while shooting 51.4% from the field and 38.1% from the three-point range.

As Anthony notes, James’ influence over Doncic may be able to unlock his game to another level.
