When a grizzled NBA veteran compares you to Stephen Curry, you know that player is of a special breed. That's exactly what JJ Redick said about Luka Doncic during his brief stint with the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavs guard and podcast host had Steph Curry's longtime Golden State Warriors teammate Andre Iguodala on as a guest on The Old Man and the Three. The former NBA Finals MVP detailed what makes Curry such down-to-earth superstar.

“Demarcus Cousins, when he was with us, one random day he was like ‘Yo are you real?’ to Steph. He (Curry) was like ‘What are you talking about?'” Iguodala said. “He (Cousins) was like, ‘Bro you’re the best player in the league, bro you don’t get mad about nothing? You don’t ask for nothing? You don’t want any special treatment?’ Like he don’t ask for anything. He (Curry) was like ‘Nah, I’m one of the guys.'”

JJ Redick revealed the only player who fits that same mold Curry has set as a humble superstar. His teammate for the last half of the season on the Mavs – Luka Doncic.

“The only guy I've really played with that's on that level of just being one of the guys and doesn't really ask for any special treatment was Luka this season,” Redick said of the Mavs superstar. “Luka's special. He's one of the guys. Obviously, basketball-wise he's super special. But as a dude, he's great.”

That's high praise from an NBA veteran that's been in the league for 15 seasons and played for six different teams. If Luka Doncic can even approach the number of accolades and hardware that Stephen Curry has achieved, Mavs fans definitely won't complain.
