- After just three years in the NBA, Luka Dončić has already established himself as a generational talent. And his huge increase in step-back jumpers, both inside and outside the arc, have made him nearly unstoppable on the offensive end. In this episode of Signature Shots, ESPN analyst Kirk Goldsberry examines how Dončić gets these step-backs and why they are so important in the broader context of the Dallas Mavericks’ offense and the NBA at large.

Yeah not mjvs lebron part 230
Facts
Yes more of this less woke espn anchors
@@colorad6018 I am completely sick of folks like you using "woke" to describe your every little displeasure about something on TV somewhere. You apply it to stuff that's not even "woke"--just your way of chalking everything you don't like into one punching-bag concept.

CP3 shooting 150/293 on all stepback jumpers is nuts too btw
Cp3 too efficient brah and really old school.
true true gotta remember those are pretty much mostly from the free throw elbow area, nonetheless still rly impressive
Not to take anything away from cp3 but his step backs are 85-90% from the midrange and luka and the others are from the 3 point line, a bit harder to make
@@a.phelephe9220 Both are completely different in my opinion. One involves snaking around the screen and getting to your spot. The other is a one-on-one isolation step back. Both arts in their own way that both players have mastered. Both unguardable.
@@AZ-pm7hy I get what u saying and never said what’s cp3 is doing isn’t impressive and unguardable but If you played basketball u know the Step back from 3 point land are more harder and impressive to make than one from free throw line and so on. For me what dame, Steph, luka and harden are doing are ridiculous, there are lot more players who does it but not the same consistency and level to those. Not to take anything away from cp3, I actually love the midrange game more especially players like, demar, cj, booker & shai but those 4 when it’s comes to step back 3’s are next level
as a clipper fan, boy he had me CRYING in the playoffs...he's unfair
As a Mavs fan I felt the same way about Kawhi..
as a clippers fan too, i can vouched for that. the man is a freaking cheat code. every thing he throws is a nail bitter
@@fruitproof115 Kawhi went space boss in game 6.
wasnt clippers fan been crying in the playoff since cp3 era too?
As a Clippers fan, I approve this message 😣
I appreciate Luka's stepback more than others because it's not even close to a travel. Like Harden often travels with his stepback (I know what a gather step is but some of them were absolutely travels and most of them were at least close), but there's no arguing Luka travels at all with his stepback.
Well he also said he studied Hardens game ……So I would think he has a good step back
Personally I think Harden's and Luka's stepback are the same, Harden's is faster which is why it looks like a travel even though it's not (Sometimes it is), while Luka's is slower but creates more space
harden invented the Stepback. pretty sure he's doing it just fine
To good
Nah he doesn't travel you just a casual. Luka stepback just an uglier slower version of harden stepback
Yo people don't realize how impressive he actually is. At 22 fuxking years old he's cooking first team all defensive players like he's at your local LA fitness
I mean he’s on a Lebron like projection I think people realize how good he is top 5.
Nothing impressive there, as you might not know, he was already cooking defenders in Eurocup where people actually DEFEND.
He said it himself, it's easier to score in NBA.
It is impressive cause other people struggle to score on Kawhi and PG and at that young age he's playing with them like it's nothing.
True, but the NBA still ain't a joke ahha. The players are wayyy more capable even at defence than we can imagine. The Eurocup focuses on defence as a team, which makes it harder to score there. Going ISO against the best defenders in the NBA is just like doing the same anywhere else.
@@jaizjeeson2180 yes I agree. Although, NBA changed the rules to advantage the offense.
We've seen the gather step super interpretative rule, the step 0 which basically allow huge travels, the défense clearing the center and the use of the offhand (allowing small push off). Also, you can do some small hand check in FIBA and huge bumps which would be called directly in NBA :)
Is Luka allowed to do stepbacks at the freethrow line?
Underrated comment :')
Yes he could.
You can do whatever you want before a free throw.
📖
Lmfao
This is underrated lmao.
His free throw percentage is much better so far this year. I think he was worn out in the playoffs last year, so we will see if he can make them in the post season.
the one more thing that makes him soo hard to stop is his playmaking ability, because you cant really double team him or have too many man protect him from a drive because he will just pass and find an open man.
he have such wide skillset and iq that it is really scary. only thing stopping him from making mavs championship contender is porzingins
LMFAO "only thing stopping him from making mavs championship contender is porzingins" XDDDD
He need a big man playing around the basket and a coach that notices that. Pingus can be this guy but I don't know if they are coached wrongly or he decides to play like that but he should stop shooting and just be a dunking big man.
@@michaeltruong405 porzingis has worked hard all offseason
And his Ft %
@@Tunuts they got to run him more in the paint your right
Man his form is beautiful
He so compact and stable
True
The best way I'd describe it is "clean".
Defender: .....
Luka: 'I'mma stepback.'
Defender: "ill just foul him"
Luka: ..... ill just miss all 3 freethrows then
@@Notcleverenough then I’ll throw down a buzzer beater
@@Notcleverenough I'm actually curious to see a stat for this. But by the eye test it does feel like Luka is better at getting the basket for the "and one" than other players. While some players simple look for the foul, when he does that, Luka focuses a lot more on making the basket. Not to mention he's hitting those circus shots a lot more often than other players. Or at least that's how it feels.
@@Notcleverenoughlol
@@Notcleverenough stop being racist you freak
God I love being life long mavs fan, to go from Dirk to Luka, god Dallas fans don’t understand how lucky we really are.
true we have another 20year with hope
Luckiest organization in the nba hands down but also the most unluckiest during free agency’s
@@to3sted248 true, the big fish don’t like it here for some reason. But remember, 2011, the big fish didn’t want to come here so we put a lot of solid players are Dirk and won the chip so. We shall see this year
Really hope yall win a chip soon, absolutely love luka dude is just insane
It's nice to see what happened with Dirk, but I wish we could've gotten to see what it would've been like if Jason Kidd had spent his entire career as a Maverick. At least we'll get to see Kidd coach Luka to multiple championships.
Luka Doncic for Dallas Mavericks:
- Leading
- Passing
- Scoring
- Playmaking
- Clutch (magical pass, magical moves)
- Skill Developer for team mates
💪💯❤
luka has rare breed deceleration ability, especially considering his 6-foot-7, 230-pound frame, helping him stop and change directions while maintaining body control, keys to creating space for the shot. Doncic has worked on functional strength training to make his balance better
Remember when that was legit a knock on his game coming into the league 😂😂
I remember when Rashad Phillips said that he is not even a lottery pick 🤣. That slapped him back so hard.
What an idiot lol
Takes like that is what got him out of job
Racists comment. Be real
Luka's going to be a Top 10 all time player.
Wrong. You meant to say top 3 all time.
He and Giannis will be the Euro-Goats
@@LukaDaGoat77 nah top 10
Easily. I think he can be top 5
@@PabloSolim2006 Hakeem and dirk are the goats and cant ever be forgotten ....luka and giannis will make it a mount Rushmore tho fasho ....(jokic and embiid as well etc)
The world is witnessing a top 10 all time level talent in Luka Doncic. He’s already enshrined. If he continues this level of energy/production he will be amongst the Jordans Kobes and LeBrons. Hopefully he’s smart in choosing who to suit up for if we gonna talk championships.
hes smart enough if mavs don't get him help hes outta there
Whoa...what could be?
I enjoy watching but top 10 is a far stretch....
@@southernflavamaker You must not watch and better yet you don't need to watch to know that he's an elite player, no doubt generational talent. Just check the stats, compare them to this generations and previous generations and you'll find that the only players that could match his numbers are legends in the game.
@@sabertooth5979 so he's top ten based off stats alone? All my top ten players have achieved so so much more...but to each its own...
@@southernflavamaker it's only projection of his career. If he is successful people undoubtedly put him in top 5 or top 3.
Don't sleep on how he passes the ball either, ESPN.
Yep, almost lead the league in turnovers 😭😭
@@Notcleverenough You do know Lebron has the most turnovers all time right?
@@joshjohnson3867 and nobody mentioned him except you, weird
@@Notcleverenough I was saying that because it shows how turnovers are expected from the greatest passers of all time. Funny how that flew over your head lmao.
@@joshjohnson3867 so Russell Westbrook is an alltime great passer then? Or you are just making up things to fit your agenda 😭
Please ESPN, please made a Dirk's signature shot, you always quote his fade, let the man get his spotlight
They have made one about his fadeaway tho
@@A10R10 Fr lmao
@@A10R10 never seen it
@@A10R10 where??? I've never found it
@@pedroaugustocosta2533 just search it
Luka will be top 10 player in NBA history when its all said and done
@@k.m.7533 my bad i got distracted lmao
FOR REAL IF HES CONSISTENT
Giannis has a legit chance as well to retire as a top 10 player. At 26, he's won 2 MVP's, a DPOY, a Finals MVP, ASG MVP, 5 all-stars, 5 all-nba teams and 3 all-defensive teams.
That's pretty insane for a 26 year old. It'll be tough for Luka to beat that in 4 seasons but with how good he is, wouldn't surprise me lol
@@AZ-pm7hy well, he can be like MJ or LeBron type. Aged like fine wine. Heck, even Dirk won when he was 33 years old
@@AZ-pm7hy Yeah, for sure, but I think he can definitely go for 2 MVPs in 4 seasons. DPOY ain't happening OML ahah. All-stars and All NBA is almost confirm gonna happen. Finals MVP, we just gotta see what the Mavs do to help him out.
The thing that I like about him is that his playstyle is ageless and adaptable. I feel like Giannis relies a lot on his athleticism (which is all good ngl ahah), so he may slow down soon, but Luka relies on his basketball IQ. More of a tactician, who (I hope) will become better with experience.
Y'all just had to show him cooking KD lol
Lol, I said the same.
He cooked every defender in the league, so 🤷♂️
@@bandrej except Kawhi
@@vivekrawat2445 you didnt see the finals?
@@vivekrawat2445 he was putting up crazy numbers on kawhi and pg in that series stop lying lol
Awesome VID! Thanks ESPN for treating Luka like the legend he IS
His God-given gifts are really off the charts.
At such a young age and ma boi already has a vid about his signature move
Only because hes propped up by yt supremacy and priviledge
@@Notcleverenough you lame my guy. If a player is great, he's great no matter what hue he is.

after jokic somber scuffle so excited to see about step back
Lukas step back is the most elegant in the NBA.
harden better
@@션-p9d Nope
@@션-p9d LMAO, hardens step back is litteraly the same as Luka's so how is his better
An elegant travel. Unwatchable by those who know what basketball is supposed to look like.
The future face of the league 💪🏾💪🏾
He is already the...
this man dropped 82 on me in 2k, i believe you sir
could end up as a top 10 of all time, he's that good.
I bet for that right now
He get all my respect this dude Luka is ahead of the game .. one of the ten best players I seen play
if he is then harden is too
@KennyGotBandz basically
@@TheKendeHD excpet Harden can actually make his freethrows and get out the 1st round
@@Notcleverenough exactly harden only gets bashed because he lost to golden state warriors during their dynasty years and that 67 win spurs team in 2017. its so annoying to see
@@Notcleverenough Harden was warming the bench first 4 years. ;)
Love the Signature Shots very much, keep going!
His teamates must have inate understanding of his game sometimes he score 31 in the first half and few points in 2nd half or full blast in the 4th,team chemistry is very important
now that giannis got the ring, we need to see luka in a good team. This dude can go for several chips!
Luka the type of player who'd win MVP every season if you put a good team around him. Only thing holding him back from winning MVP is a top 3 team in the west. That's why I don't think he'll win it this year. But who knows, if he goes nuclear, team record might not even matter as much.
@@AZ-pm7hy Hmmm, my thoughts exactly. He is the MVP favourite this year, but as a Mavs and Luka fan, we don't have the right pieces around him yet. He either has to put up a ridiculous (well even more than previous seasons) stat lines or carry the Mavs to an amazing record.
Luka is goated
Found out about him 7-8 years ago and I wasn't even that much into bb, happy he came this far.
Luka Will be the face of the league
2k loves Luka. Everytime i sim a season on my league he wins MVP averaging a 34 pt triple double 😂
Great video as usual, the signature shots series is amazing... please do a video on Jayson Tatum iso game
22 years old of age... Still makes into a ignature shots video. Amazing.
still cant believe hes just 22. it will be his league when he reaches his peak.
It's already his. It's just a formality for Lebron to pass the torch. He's playing with the best defensive team in the league like they can't do anything to him. Only reason he's lost twice to them is because his team isn't doing enough to help him.
Awesome analysis, thank you.
i really think theres some psychic ability in ultimate offensive players in sports, they have a feel for the other players around them and what theyre going to do, they just manipulate them, play them like puppets to their benefit, they make them move where they want and they do it without thinking about it. this type of stuff has to be some type of precognition psychic ability. the zone/flowstate amplifies it.
Luka is unguardable.
I pray this man stays healthy for the majority of his career. please god
Stephen Curry analyzing Luka Doncic:
He's just very polished," "He's shown that since his rookie year, and he's gotten better. And who knows how high the ceiling is for him?"
It will be fun to find out.
He will be a top 3 point guard of all time when it's all sudden done.
Sudden done lmao
u mean when its all set and done
@@stephcurry7142 well, if it comes from the Chef Curry, it's facts
said & done* There you go
@@stephcurry7142 dang, you messed it up 😂
He’s such a good intuitive player. He talks about his fundamentals and I think it’s the equivalent to a musician understanding music theory. He is actually the def of 10,000 hours and talent code ( it’s a book)
He has amazing instincts, that’s what makes the Luca magic ⛹️♂️
Luka’s step back is nasty, just like Hardens
Excelent video👌🏻👽 Luka is just amazing.
La Vida Luka.
I hope Luka stays healthy because his ceiling is so high. As a Celtics fan he’s stabbed us in the heart twice on a last second contested 3. The dude is so clean!
That’s why Kobe was big fan of Luka…
Game recognizes Game..
His my idol in stepback.. Simple but aesthetics
Without a doubt
He will takeover the NBA anytime soon. Future MVP.
He is Top 5 nowadays, really fun to watch him play
Great content. Thank you
I wonder if the Clippers are gonna watch this
Dont have to, already know its overrated and how to stop it
No need. Luka bout to be a first round exit again this year.
@@Notcleverenough I bslapped a bboi today.
This was very informative and easy to digest. Sometimes in videos, the music can be too much. We must pray for a dose of the proper measure of the medicine.
Luka is a beast. As a laker fan, I want him in purple and gold in his prime 😈
Since Luka came to Dallas I missed maybe 10 games all together. And I got to say,as good as his step back 3 is,the Mavs also lost buunch of games becasue he was bricking and forcing step back 3's in the 4th quarter.
When he is exhausted and runs out of options, stepback heave is the simplest and least tiring play for him to do
Maybe put a better team around him so he doesn’t have to force step back 3 that much to bail the Mavs out? Obviously it’s not gonna work all the time
@@kphan2484 I feel like if he's conditoning was elite,those shots would go in more often in the 4th.
Who's watching the Playoffs right now 3-0 Luka is on it 🔥
luka magic🔥💯
U covered tim and kevin with there shots but no dirk? Dafuqs wrong with u espn
Dirks shot is literally the second best signature shot after skyhook and before the dream shake
the disrespect is obvious
Big facts that one leg is patented dirk luka ain’t make the step back
Word
Yeah man “espn” is collectively conspiring to disrespect Dirk.
Kevin McHales post moves are just a slick as hakeems.. You wanna talk about disrespected. Kevin mchale is the vest lose post scorer to ever play.
Great vid, got some ideas: Jimmy Shimmy, Steve Nash Transition 1 leg Fade, Manu Euro Step, Hakeem's Dream Shake
3:39 wow
Finaly ESPN showed up ilke the Bear does from a winter nap... good coaching insight and spectacular editing 👍
Great videos, it's time to do one on Dirk Nowitzkis one legged fadeway and Kareems skyhook!
My Boy Luka!
It's no doubt why Pat Beverly put Luka up there as the toughest player to guard in the nba
Kidd is the perfect coach for Luka. They will win multiple championships together.
ESPN trying to fight off the independent youtubers like JxmyHighroller, BBALLBREAKDOWN or AndyHoops and their quality content
The only thing stopping him is his own team. The way the league is with super teams, it will be hard to win a championship until his team provides him the best help.
Gotta do one over Parker’s floater
nah Kirk wrong. Luka’s signature shot is the circus shot for the and-1
I have already been using the step back in high school games. I am currently averaging 25 points 8 assists 7 rebounds 55 percent field and 43 percent from 3 and 92 percent free throw.
Remember when everyone thought he was going to be a bust... lol
Wouldn't say everyone. But yea there were lot of skeptics
@@alfredodavila3223 I was being hyperbolic.
@@SunriseSmoothie1991 oh my bad. Yea I know for sure lot of Kings fan wanted him at pick #2 leading up to the draft. Before that I remember not knowing/caring much about him until like Feb or March of that yr, once I realized Mavs had a pretty good shot at being top 3. 😅 Then (like tradition) they fell to 5 and I figured that was it on him
@@alfredodavila3223 All good brotha. I know those two teams are having nightmares about that decision every night. lol
Do an episode on derrick rose PLEASEE
Finally, and I mean finally, somebody typed Luka's last name right
thank you whoever you are stranger
Doncic is hands down the best offensive player RN, just too bad no star wants to play in Dallas.
I like that there are some differences. Luka is using footwork while Harden is using handles
Shows how good cp3 is when he’s shot 183 less step backs but has made just 32 less.
Future GOAT. It's shameful if the mavs don't get him a legit wingman soon
Let's not forget who paved the way for this big man Dirk
James gave him the blueprint
This is what im looking for!!
Smoothest stepback in the league!
TO quote Stephen A. "Luka's been big boying them dudes" :D
He gon be in the 75th list
You should cover Pascal's spin move next!
Where is the next signature shots video?? Could be Ja Morant's aerobatics or Trey Young's deep threes
Before they start.
Lol 100%
Simply Amazing 😍🔥
0:53 This was travel 100% of the time by the old (proper) rules. But now it's not only allowed but is actually a 'signature move'.
Step back + flick wrist = money
He can get scoring titles and assist titles in the same season with how good he’s going to get
This gonna be the GOAT if he can avoid injuries.
What a beast!
Can you do Tatum sidestep?
Anyone knows the songs going on in the background?
4:38 Nice editing!
Now he is elite in midrange too
