Who will be the better NBA player in five years: Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokoumpo or Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic?

Right now, all are on the cusp of superstardom or already there. Doncic has the flashier game of the three. Antetokounmpo has the title. Tatum is somewhere in between.

Tatum and Doncic can hit absurd shots seemingly from anywhere on the court, and the Greek Freak is virtually unstoppable in transition. Tatum and Doncic are also both accomplished floor generals when they need to be and have the size to play up a bit, too. Giannis has been known to thread the needle from time to time as well.

The hosts of the ESPN “Hoop Collective” podcast recently debated which of these three will be the biggest star in a half-decade.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
