While the comments made by Seth Greenberg are sure to draw plenty of attention, there's no denying that Doncic has been sensational.

Doncic has become one of the faces of the NBA. The Mavericks superstar has the ability to takeover a game at any moment and he's not afraid to let his opponents know about it.

Throughout his segment on ESPN, Seth Greenberg went on to compare Doncic to legends such as Boston Celtics all-time great Larry Bird and Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. Greenberg stated that Doncic has the ability to dominate a game and he will "talk smack the entire game."

Both Bird and James have had plenty of moments throughout their careers when it comes to being an unstoppable force on the court. While Doncic might have some work to do when it comes to reaching the trash-talking level of Bird, there's no denying that he's vocal on a nightly basis.

Many basketball analysts expected the Dallas Mavericks would struggle to keep up with the Phoenix Suns. Now, Doncic and the Mavericks find themselves one win away from completing a shocking upset.

In the series against the Suns, Luka Doncic has averaged 32.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game while shooting 45.7% from the field.
