Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson couldn't be more different from each other. Both the Dallas Mavericks and the New Orleans Pelicans stars are great players in their own right. However, their play styles are like night and day: Doncic is methodical and slow-paced, while Zion attacks with ferocity and speed.
Don't tell that to the Mavs star, though. In a media appearance for the Quai54 streetball tournament, Luka Doncic was asked what part of Zion Williamson's game would he want to add to his repertoire. In response, Doncic said the one thing he thinks he has in common with Zion: his bounce. (via Bleacher Report)

Doncic's quip got a big reaction from the crowd, who laughed at the Mavs star's joke. Zion himself seemed to love the joke, based on his reaction beside Luka.
When you think of Luka Doncic's play, you don't necessarily think about his posterizing ability. The Mavs star built a reputation in the NBA as a crafty playmaker who utilizes every trick in the book to make up for his lack of traditional athleticism. Instead of devastating slams, Doncic's preferred weapon is his trusty stepback.
However, that's not to say that Doncic can't embarrass some fool at the rim. The Mavs star has had his fair share of poster jams in his young NBA career. In fact, he had a couple during the season that elicited a reaction from another famed dunker!
With Zion Williamson nearing a return to the court, we are closer and closer to seeing a matchup between him and Luka Doncic. Here's to hoping Luka's insane hops don't get the better of Zion at the rim.
