3:20 illustrates what true high bball IQ is -- his no-look is not just a flashy head movement to display passing prowess, it serves a clear purpose to completely bamboozle the defense using Kyrie's gravity. That's why watching Luka never gets old or boring: he adds a mind game dimension to hooping, always at least one step ahead of everyone.
I genuinely believe Luka is the best offensive player of all time he’s generating the most points in nba history right now and he just turned 25. oh and btw he’s been avging 3.3 deflections for the last 2 months which is 3rd in the nba
@@tunage8354imma not punctuate in a yt comment, and prime LeBron is easily the greatest player to touch a basketball court, i don't know how you want me to explain it you just gotta watch his games
As good as Doncic is right now he is still improving year to year And the guy just turned turned a ripe ol age of 25...my favorite to win MVP 34.41 pts 9.71 asts 8.82 rebs damn near 50 percent shooting.All around superstar
Everybody know Luka is the True Most Valuable Player in the sense of the word. Unfortunately the award has a lot of caveats that come and go according to the narrative that suits the media, but there is no question that he is the most determinant player in the league this year.
tbh jokic is every bit as valuable to the nuggets as luka is to the mavs. they are both absolutely insane but the nuggets without jokic are just nothing. he IS that team.
The mavs without Luka and Kyrie playing half the games would be a bottom lottery team. Nuggets without joker still a 500 team. Just the coaching alone makes Denver a threat.
@@beankobe8205Keep wishing . Desperately holding onto the only narrative that makes Luka seem normal but that narrative is just a narrative. The reality is Luka has improved defensively and now he is an okay defender.
@Earl_TheSquirrel apparently you don't watch basketball. He's number seven in steals. Great at iso, has more deflections than 90% of the players in the league. Step off with your bs.
As a fan that hated his arguing with refs, and his low effort defense.. he's actually been a lot better at both recently, as well. His rebounds, steals, and overall defense is great now. It feels like he's buying in more on winning, not just scoring.
How frustrating it has to be for a defender to play him pretty much perfectly but you gave him 6 inches of space & he drained a 28 ft 3 right over your outstretched hand. Has to be demoralizing AF after the 3rd or 4th time that it happens.
And its not like luka is overly dominant from one area of the court he is top 5 in shooting percentage from each area of the court plus being a elite playmaker there is legit no way to guard that man
he is not top 5 in efficiency from everywhere... how do you ppl come up with this stuff? he is above avarage from 3 (for the first time in his carreer i think) which is huge but he is not nearly top 5 in 3pt efficiency and he is also not top 5 in ft efficiency, just to name 2 areas.
People underestimate Luka's size and power. That's why a little bump will knock you off and when you're at his hip then you're in jail. He also has an underrated pivot game and since he's powerful and big, he can create space, draw fouls, find an open shooter or embarrass you with a fake pass behind your head.
It would be nice to have a defensive breakdown about Luka, he has been much better, he is TOP10 in 4 defensive ratings and although he is not a TOP10 defender, he is much better than people are giving him credit for. He is not good at off-ball defense, chasing guys but he is pretty solid iso and post defender, plus he has been pretty active on deflections and steals and some of them happening while defending the post.
I'd be really interested in seeing a Garden/Luka comparison breakdown. Because to me they are similar but I imagine the nuances between them are different. Seeing an analysis of it would be very intriguing. Maybe a good podcast topic?
It’s so funny to me how the ex players…analyst…and the majority of the prominent basketball minded people don’t give this dude the credit or flowers he deserves. A lot of them don’t because for one he’s white and two he’s not American so it’s a double whammy for them. They absolutely hate the fact that the best player in the world is a European white dude.
Many ex players and current players say he is a montser. Only dudes trying to take away from him are the ones who are more focused on pushing narratives rather than analysis
@@zion360windmill without winning a championship you end up in the Barkley, Iverson category of greatness and not the Jordan, LeBron or Kobe level. The great ones get it done. The kid is amazing but he's not a winner yet.
I kind of agree. We glorify one on one players for getting scoring titles but Luka would win both. He’s the greatest assisting scorer and best scoring playmaker like LeBron was for two decades.
It would have been the Harden award for his Rocket years, but I love the idea of awarding our best playmakers with a combined scoring and assisting award
I love watching Luka play but we all know he is a mini version of the Joker and Jokic has the size advantage that Luka doesn't have. Jokic can take it into the paint and pretty much do anything he wants from there. That is not to say he isn't a problem for defenses and he is definitely entertaining to watch.
The way he creates scoring opportunities out of seemingly nothing is mind-boggling. Frequently, he finds himself in front of a well-positioned, alert and committed defense that gives him nothing much. Next thing you see is him casually dropping a layup. How??
I think i get the origin of that signature slowdown step back.I think he took it from dirk's one leg shot during those mentor days.Its the same idea.Dirk one leg shot as we all know become an unstoppable weapon just because it is complemented with dirk's physique.When dirk does it,it gives that SPACE so he wont get contested.Luka on the other hand doesnt have the same physique thus he uses the force of the enemy by slowing down thus that signature slow step back gives the same idea of creating space for shot.
Dante Exum’s return spell doom for a lot of teams. Because there’s no longer any place you can afford. To be lazy towards the Mavericks on. Good no longer rely on. Winning because Tim Hardaway is having a bad night. And everybody is off because of it. Jason Kidd trusted Tim Hardaway is definitely going to go a long way though. For his mental state. Going to the last stretch up games.
It is becoming so obvious that the passing threat is crucial to set up the scoring threat... lebron taught a new generation of hoopers that this was far superior to running ISO with evryone knowing that you will shoot it, a la Kobe
Can anyone tell me who we can compare Luka to? People said baby bird, and maybe effectiveness wise he is but... Who in the history of the game had his movement and that bag with the IQ on top?
The pass between LeGoof James' legs was hilarious. He knew LeJerkOff would be frozen, unable to rotate his decrepit hips or then bother to run the shooter off the line.
This guy is the greatest offensive talent this sport has ever seen but some people will tell you it means nothing cuz he don't have any rings lol, basketball discourse is cooked bro
Luka exposes the myth , you have to be cat like, jump thru the roof to be a super hooper , Luka has ( Jokic as well ) game knowledge , court presence and relays on that most NBA players DONT have the fundamental's....they rather look cool ( ESPN will blow me up ) then look / play smart..
We just ignore the blatant carries? There's a literal travel at 6:35. It's hard to REALLY appreciate what some of these players are doing offensively when they are giving so much leeway when it comes to bending the rules.
Where does Luka Doncic rank in the MVP race? 👇
Should be anywhere from 1-3
3rd
1
defenitely 1
3
His footwork and body control whilst dribbling is insane. The way he was toying with Mobley in those clips is just beautiful basketball.

One more advantage is since he is not that athletic, he is not prone to injury.

My two absolute favourites are Steve Nash and Luka Donic, basketball is fun when they play.
Just here to say something nice about the video because I enjoyed the content and analysis.
Keep up the good work!

The N in NBA stands for Luca

This guy reminds me so much of Andrea Pirlo, two different sports but the very same approach.
Doncic bookmarks an era where he is put together a in dit zielige grafland.
Luka has all the counters. Its hard to stop a guy like that, almost impossible.
The man is a way better Paul pierce if that makes any sense very similar play style.
Can anyone tell me who we can compare Luka to? People said baby bird, and maybe effectiveness wise he is but... Who in the history of the game had his movement and that bag with the IQ on top?
Hes kinda similar to harden/bird
Luca "Larry Bird" Doncic. What a guy!
At NBA...traveling... is an uknown concept !
Luka can just walk through the defenders for 2
When did you make this as the Mavs are currently 6th in the Western conference...
Before they became 6th in the Western Conference

Luka is 4th in mvp for me but still ridiculous
He can move up if he wins more
Arenas, Stephen a, and perkins disliked this video. 😂
Dak & Luka are my MVPs 🏆🐐🐐
I think the craziest part of Dallas is Kyrie shooting over 46% on catch and shoot 3s
If he is so slow, why don't the best defenders in the world stop him? I don't think he is that slow. He works to look slow with the smooth moves.
Team defensive effort is abysmal
How you want it, you can have it your way - Burger King AKA Luka the Don 😎
When he’s down low and using all those pivots and pump fakes he looks a lot like Kobe
Now dallas are currently at the 5th spot, luka for mvp
