Luka Doncic is unreal, he is one of those guys he would have been great in any era👍🏾
Stop playing, je cries for fouls too much for any era besides today
@@pharma2546 Luka doesn’t sell calls or flops like how most guys do that shoot a lot of free throws, that’s why he ask for fouls not because he not tough
@@pharma2546Why do basketball "fans" have to be so dumb I will never understand
Hate to break it to you, but guys have always complained at the refs. @@pharma2546
He can’t play defense unfortunately which is 50 percent of the game
Still haven't heard one "player" say Ky was a bad teammate. Don't let the media and sensation-seeking media figures control your opinions.
Preach man 🗣️
Kyrie was a bad teammate in Brooklyn. He was the reason James Harden wanted to leave
@@GG-fy2bm name your sources.
@@GG-fy2bmthat actually was incorrect. Harden left because of the front office which still to this day is affecting the current nets.
@@GG-fy2bmnope you have ur information wrong
Love how he thinks he's getting 7rbs a night when he's getting 9
Would be funny to ask Westbrook the exact same question, I guarantee he knows his stats to 2 decimal places. And how many he needs next game to get the average up to 10 😂
@@jamesh7469lmao fax russ knows how many rebounds and assists he needs by the end of the year to average 10😂
For Luka, proving people wrong about his defense, is very important.
Jesus loves you all, God Bless!✝️

Being humble lol
@adamkanizsai2990trust he knows he know his stats he hunts for triple dub
@@Grind2Excellencelast 2 games he was 1-2 reb, 1-2 assists short of a triple double. He’s definitely not counting
Kyrie finally getting the love he's been due for years. You love to see it. Hope him and Luka get a ring together, two of my favorite players
he had love in cleveland then he self destructed himself, repeatedly.
relax.
Kyrie had so much hype and love until he ruined his own image. Even when he sat out and didn’t play much, he still had all star votes from fans. He’s just finally focused on playing ball again instead of being a distraction.
Classic Kyrie haters ⬆️ 😂
bc he was an absolute tool for years on end my guy.
wasted a career.

It’s just a real joy to watch Kyrie when he has it going
Like tonight's game....like OMG!
Kyrie was outstanding and Luka...was actually magic.
They beat OKC by 30 points 🤯
I wish this game happened on a weekday bc I keep looking for national media to talk about it but it’s been dry 🤦🏽♂️. That game was unreal. I know all the naysayers (Mavs fans included) are salty for thinking the trade would be short of anything short of greatness. They got the players they needed!
@@lv_lambo3162media genuinely hates the Mavs. And the NBA does a terrible job of promoting the smaller-market teams.
It’s gonna hit like crack in the playoffs . Duel 30-40 point games in the future
@@lv_lambo3162they got way more than they gave up, it feels almost shady
Bro why is Luka so cool bro?
Fr. Even his name Luka is such a cool name!
because he's humble
@ChartyChatty Stop with the anti-woke sh*t, idiot.
@ChartyChattytalking about wokeness is pretty woke. stfu k?
Because he is genuine and down to earth, and does not buy the bs that comes with fame and money, and stayed true to his character.
Luka mention a 19 yr old rookie in the same conversation as him and Kyrie as far as potential and how many games they’ve played together shows how much importance Luka puts on the center position. You could tell how happy he was tonight to have Gafford, a legit center, in there banging on the boards and catching lobs.
Just seeing him in slovenia and it was obvius
Luka is a terrific interviewee -- smart and very soft-spoken.
Pull his pants up when your done 😂
@@jordmane
Really?!
@@mattgoldberg4335can't say anything positive anymore
His English improved a lot since his last interview with JJ.
yeah it doesn't match with his killer persona on the court
When it's all said and done, Luka will be in the GOAT conversation.
If he can pick up some rings and MVPs maybe. The scary part is he isn't even in his prime yet!
Not when he’s playing in the softest era.
Probably not, Ha. Incredible offensive player. Great passer and shooter. The whole package on offense. Doesn't play any defense though. The GOAT's played both ends. Also, hasn't shown he can make his teammates better. He is effectively James Harden 2.0 (better)
@@areitz1962I’m tired of yall saying he doesn’t play any defense, yall don’t watch Mavs games and just listen to the media
@@areitz1962you clearly don't watch basketball. He has improved a lot on defense this year. You all don't know what to say anymore, always the same excuse.
Something about JJ relaxes me when watching him interview players. Such strategic and respectful question.
luka said hes averaging 7 rpg while hes averaging 9 man hes so humble
Or dumb
Lmfaooooo you folks are so dramatic. The way you turn a simple mistake into how humble he is, is next level nut riding 😂
@@giftedx1391 He's european. You americans are so deeply consumed by your own arrogance and loudmouthed "culture" that you think people from other parts of the world can't be genuinely humble.
Jj and uncle Shannon 🐐🐐
I can see Luka & ky droppin like 40-50 pts each in the same game.
They already did, they both dropped 41 when Kyrie first got to Dallas
They gotta do it every game in the playoffs
@@jjcometa9333 Word it sucks they play my squad first round smh
Every team needs a Kyrie, consistent scorer with handles.
Not a lot but there’s guards who can do that and are a lot cheaper .. 🤷♂️

Wow that dunk by Kyrie was insanely nice
Ong I had to go back 5x
Has to be top 3 best plays of the regular season. Prob not going to be cause its Kyrie...and its against Wemby.
"I can't do that" why is that line so funny hahaha. He was talking about Kyrie's dunk at 1:06
I mean it's true lol. I didn't even know Kyrie could do that!
@@iamtheteapot7405How did you not know that ?
@@MakaveliDiorHe's a finesse player who's 6'2" and getting older
Dude I didn't know he could do that, gave me T-Mac vibes.
He clearly showed it at the ASG XD
Luka always smiling. This guy gonna be top ever to play when its said and done. Guy is just an all around stud.
great interview
So nice of Jj to bring his younger brother onto the podcast
Monster duo and now they have 4 legit bucket getters with Washington and THJ. I’m riding the wave from last night but giving Ky and Luka 2 rim protectors and another guy that can get 30-40 any given night is scaring the west for sure
Luka and Uncle Drew are fun to watch 💯🤘
1:07 *shyly* "I can't do dat" 😅😂
Cannot wait for Luka to get his first ring!
People say the Mavs got better at the trade deadline. But I don't think they can win the title this season. Luka might end up having an underrated career, if he doesn't start collecting rings.
IDK but if the new signing are gonna play like today everything is possible.
Gafford is 13ppg for a season and he put up 19points. And defence today against oklahoma was fire. hope its gonna last. personally i have mavs finnish the regular season at top 3 seed.
@@penkima4923
@@penkima4923oh he will don’t you worry.
yea the problem with Mavs is sometimes they start out strong and then cant finish, like sometimes Luka will have crazy numbers but then they lose
but there are times when they really win and all the role players are dropping like 15+ outta no where which shows that they have weapons on the team@@penkima4923
@@penkima4923it's true, since the break, they have been playing the best and most consistent ball in the league.
With an athletic big (Gafford) and a strong defender that can score (PJ Washington), it has changed the dynamic of this team. It feels similar to the chemistry they had with Tyson Chandler in 2011 and bench guys chipping in meaningful minutes.
It's going to take a team like Denver, vintage Golden State or Boston to knock them off in a 7 game series... Basketball is subject to dominance by elite players/teams for long periods of time. Luka and the Mavs are poised to break out and stay there for the next decade.
Would be amazing to see all the superstars of this generation get at least 1 championship. 🙏
Not gonna lie a healthy mavericks will be scary especially with kyrie playing his true position, shooting guard
I still have my doubts on the amount of time that Kyrie might need the ball to be effective. Things seemed to work at Brooklyn, with Harden handling the ball a lot. I kinda hope things will work out at Dallas, but I don't think they can be a strong contender with these stars. Both Luka and Kyrie are on a trajectory of having vastly underrated careers, because people only count rings and nothing else.
@@penkima4923You’re So Wrong 😑 period
@@SoloLLC I kinda hope I am wrong.
@@penkima4923kyrie needs to become a off ball demon and then when he gets the ball he opens up the floor for luka to be an off ball warriors. Essentially what I mean is instead of iso ball all the time, just do actual ball movement with kyrie cutting and opening the floor, and vice versa with luka
@@penkima4923bro they been playing like the best duo in the nba what are u on they fit perfectly together 😂
Luka at 2:09 😂😂😂
He said, I can't do that 😅
He can't he's so white
Luka is such a stat padder that he believes he's averaging 7 RPG... Then reality hits and we find out his season averages are: 35 PPG, 9 RPG, 10 APG. Shameless.
How can you stat pad rebounds when your bigs are trash?😂😂
@@jadynhasstupid2275he's being sarcastic, obviously a true stat padder would never underestimate their stats.
And the fact that his teams win at a much much higher rate WHEN Luka gets a triple dub shuts that narrative down. And they were like 0-7 when Luka didn’t score 40 during the bad injury period last month. More evidence his stats are necessary. He sits the 4th when they are blowing teams out, like today. It’s just hate. Ignorant hate.
Just stfu you racist
@@jadynhasstupid2275watch okc Westbrook
JJ: How many rebounds are you averaging this year?
Luka: I tink 7
😅
Luka magic
A year ago everyone said the fit wouldnt work but no midseason trade ever materializes to a ring. You couldnt tell ppl to give it time or you would get Luka fans slandering you
their cornballs who are all about trends and not being honest with themselves
Unless it's Rasheed Wallace trade ;)
Kai can play with anyone willing to play Team Ball 🏀 period
Unless it’s the Clyde Drexler trade
Luka is my favorite player l hope he wins multiple championships. Go Mavs!!!
jj "how's it going with Kyrie."
luka "its going great he learned"
jj "learned what"
luka "he learned"
what?
When we all thought this duo won't work, they're proving that it's a possible duo. Kyrie knows very well when he came that it is Luka's team, and Luka is smart enough to know that if his teammates is hot he will gives them the ball without second thinking.
Yeah most people just believe you slap a bunch of talent together and it's instant success. Chemistry in basketball goes so over looked. It takes time but once you have that the game becomes so much easier. I had friends we'd played 5+ years together in 3 on 3 and 5 v 5 games and it was ridiculous what you could do to other 3v3 squads just by knowing where they like the ball, where you can get kick back passes, them looking for your cuts to the rack, good timing on pick and roll. The more reps you get that stuff all becomes 2nd nature and them game becomes ridiculously easy as errors and miscommunications just vanish.
@@DetroitTyler Yeah, on a team sports chemistry seems to be over looked. For my case it's in football and futsal. I always play with my cousin since we were child and until now I still know where to gives him the ball, at what speed and what height for him to score an easy goal.
this is just dumb. This duo would work bc it’s worked in the past with lebron and james harden. they also have winning record when luka isn’t on the floor
Yh it’s basically the same as Harden and CP3
@@tickingtimebomb126 they went to the WCF with no kyrie so what's your point? You want to check the teams they beat without Luka? Luka stats lay the foundation and they'll need that more in the playoffs
I’m happy Kai is happy here the city loves him and he seems like he’s enjoying the game again
I never cared for the Mavs. Being a fan of a rival team, I still think he is one of the best out there. Dude is so talented and looks like he really enjoys the game. Wish he was on the team I go for. Lol
Watching this between conference and league finals hits different.
Great interview!!!!
“I can’t do that”😂😂
2:20 HUMBLE
18 rebounds bro
Who knew that JJ would be so good at this Podvasting stuff 🤯. I luv this for him. He’s perfect for it. @JJReddick plz do a collab w/ “it is what it is” Cam/ma$e. That would be huge for the culture! You both have amazing subscribers that are engaging but I’m not sure that their subscribers realize how good your podcast is & vice versa 💯
Aaaaaall facts! ❤
JJ doesn't know basketball, but if he really wants to keep doing the podcast, then he should attend some school to get educated in communication. He sucks as a host.
That would be dope af, great suggestion
Mavs with Kyrie as as the 2nd superstar next to Doncic and Hardaway as the 6th man along with Josh Green,Derrick Jones Jr on the wing and PJ,Gafford,Lively to provide the athleticism,defense and rebounding they needed are complete . Maxi tops it off with his shooting and defense at all 3 front court positions. This is the best Mavs team in a long time.
What has happened with Kyrie is the same that has happened with Djokovic, they defended a completely respectable position about their health and thinking, and after all the defamation from the media, they have just showed they deserved the respect they asked for, and that sportingly speaking, they both are on another level.
Love Luka! Luka is a baller! He and Kyrie are a Dynamic Duo! ❤❤❤
Love Luka man
Luka want a beer JJ not no soy bean coffee lol
it s sweet tea shhhhh dont tell Markie ;)
I guarantee he's fake sipping coffee. I can't understand why human beings do that to look sophisticated on camera 🤢🤢🤮🤮
JJ I can't take your podcast seriously if you allow it 🤢
really really nice hair J J

Being a Duke alum from Dallas graduating same year as JJ... 2 of my 3 favorite basketball players of all time right here. The 3rd (but 1st) is Dirk, obviously. This is an awesome podcast.
W Luka interview!!!!!!
do a jalen brunson, josh hart and mikal bridges podcast
im not familiar with a blitz in bball is that when you send a second defender at the guy with the ball?
Yes force action. If he gets in certain spots double him and front the outlets(nearest shooter on the wing) forcing a shot or pass
Luka is more mature, on and off the court, than any other NBA star, minus Steph and Lebron
Jokic?
Lebron is not mature of the court
JR?
I would say Kawhi Leonard is also a contender.
he cries to the refs every play. I have no idea how you can say this
Man, this dude is too cold.
damn! didnt know JJ redick have a yt channel!
This backcourt duo is top three fs. It’s my fav but ima Dallas fan lol
While watching this I got the update he dropped 32-8-9 in a blowouttttt win over OKC
and in 3and a half Q as well.
“Rebounding? 18 last night? Just making sure” 🤣
Luka is an amazing dude, so impressed with him
Add this to the list of Kai’s teammates speaking positively on him for the next time the media tries to slander him
It took a serious adjustment period but glad they've figured it out
it's championship time :)
Crazy to think Bron is Luka's idol and they both have gotten to experience watching the magic of Kyrie as a teammate when they have the gravity of a planet sucking defenders in and watching him operate as that lethal second option just sending dudes to the shadow realm for you ahaha.
Love this dude
Its easier to stand out in the older class
its easier to score in NBA
its easier to play with kyrie
luka making easy money🔥

Afte Luke learned English and now that I see him speaking I understand why he is absolute killer arguably the best player in the league
Im sorry. But at 2:39 not sure I agree that Jalen Brunson in Dallas was not the Jalen Brunson now in New York. That's BS, that's why NY got him. Mavs Front Offixe should've kept him.
Dallas should of went for pascal siakam
Luka Magic
Love Luka
It annoys me a little that JJ won't press luka on certain things. Why does luka not play in transition AT ALL now compared to in Europe where he was great at it? Why does luka insist on doing absolutely nothing when the ball is not in his hands on offense, especially now that he's got a guy like Kyrie on his team to dribble too? Does jj actually think luka has been good on defense? He's had moments of a steal or a rotation, but defense is not about moments it's about the totality and Luka has way more mediocre or bad plays than good ones. Luka is an absolutely astonishingly great player, but he has certain flaws and it's unfortunate that JJ was more interested in making the podcast feel inviting to players than really unpacking some of the genuine concerns people have about his game.
Well this is how he gets guys like Luka to return.
Gotta get Kyrie on here I know he isn’t a media guy but I feel like he can trust jj

I wonder why Luka traded Grant away.
because he’s unserious
If Mavs can rise up the standings Luka should def be top 3 in the MVP race.
He still seems really sensitive to any criticism or questions... or is he just joking and very deadpan? Hard to tell... but given his CONSTANT whining on the court, I think it's being sensitive.
Nah that’s just European sense of humour
Why not add the stats of winning rate and my making big difference in the team
They showed the wrong replay …

Luka was right. The moment they got healthy they went crazy.
why is he answering too safe with the questions? this wasnt supposed to be an interview.
