In The Big Podcast with Shaq, Iverson strongly commended the Slovenian guard.

"What the hell is wrong with Luka? That goes without saying, 73... I'm talking about his style. It's kind of like streetball mixed in with... I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way," Iverson said before being interjected by Shaquille O'Neal. "He's slow as hell?"

The former superstar guard did not necessarily agree with Shaq but believed that Doncic had a playstyle of his own.

"He moves at his own pace. He play the way he play," Iverson said. "He plays like a black guy. He got swag. I mean, he's so cool out there. [He's] just slow, just major moves, and a wet ball. I mean, he shoot the blood out of that thing," the guard concluded.

Luka Doncic is having a season to prove Iverson's arguments, as he is averaging 34.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 9.5 assists per game.
