Luka Dončić dropped 42 against Miami, but is he doing too much too early? Kendrick Perkins sees Kobe Bryant’s mentality in Luka, while Channing Frye questions whether that workload is sustainable for a Lakers title run. Allie Clifton joins the debate over Luka, SGA and the early MVP race.

The crew also discusses Sacramento’s reported Sabonis tension, Ty Jerome’s scoring surge and Draymond Green’s role after his ejection in Golden State’s fifth straight win.

Plus, Perk shares firsthand Russell Westbrook stories as OKC prepares to retire No. 0, and opens up about his Jackson State GM role after a rough opening night.
