Doncic ranks third among the top 100 stars! Still questioned by Pippen: It was just a chance to lead the team to the finals last year

On September 26, less than a month left before the start of the NBA regular season in the new season. Among the top 100 stars announced by ESPN, Lakers star Doncic ranks third, second only to Jokic and Alexander, but he is still questioned from Pippen.

Although it was traded by the Mavericks in the middle of last season, it was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs only. However, among the top 100 stars this season launched by ESPN, Doncic still ranks third, second only to Jokic and Alexander in the entire league. Doncic has been actively involved in weight loss this summer and his size has improved significantly, which has greatly helped him perform better in the new season.

However, Doncic is still questioned by Bulls legend Pippen. Pippen said this: "I don't know if Doncic has the ability to lead the Lakers to the championship. Their style of play helped them reach the finals (Mavericks), but I'm not sure if this style of play can make them do it again. It was just an accidental achievement, and even if they made it to the finals, they didn't have much advantage at that time."

Then Pippen continued: "I don't know if Doncic, Jokic and others played in my time." Can the ball still dominate? In the 1980s and 1990s, we were used to pressing and defending across the court. Can Jokic carry the ball smoothly under such pressure? I'm not sure. Of course, he has excellent field vision and passing ability. But I don't know whether he will feel calm when he pushes the ball from the backcourt under such pressure."
