Luka was MVP of the second best league in the world at 18 years old.
that's just cause voters keep voting him in cause he is white
last year he didn't even make the PLAY-IN and he was still 1st team!
I miss the 1980s when Yugoslavian league was the second best league in the world.
@@unwokeneuropean3590Luka played for Real Madrid which is in the Euroleague (the second best basketball league in the world)and won MVP. If you don’t know what you’re talking about it’s better to be quiet.
@@byltraining Mate im from Croatia. I know that Spanish league became number 2 in last 20 years. But Yugoslavian league was the best in the 1980s. If you dont know simple facts you should be quiet forever youngster.
He's talking about the Euroleague, not Spain.@@unwokeneuropean3590
Luka is generational, Trae is a all star. Levels
Last year trae wasn't even an all star might not be one this year either.
Trae just a chucker with good passes
Is he really tho? Bro is just Houston James Harden.
@@getmoney3806 Harden was over 30 three times in 18 seasons. Luka has done it twice in FIVE. Luka is the 3rd leading scorer by ppg in NBA history. He's getting ready to pass Harden in career triple doubles in his FIFTH SEASON. On top of that, Harden got a huge portion of his points by that ticky-tack jumping into the defender shit that the NBA has outlawed now. If he was a 22 year-old starting over he'd never break 30 because they took away his biggest weapon.
Harden 24.4 @ 44% / 5.6 / 7.1
Luka 28.1 @ 46.8% / 8.5 / 8.1.
If he's just Harden, why is he better at every aspect of the game?
Luka has 10x the midrange and post up game that Harden ever had @@getmoney3806
1 rookie of the year. 4 and will be 5 times first team all nba. Perennial top 5 mvp candidate. Luka is on another level to trae.
haha I totally misread your comment. I thought you were talking about the 4 podcast hosts XD Was trying to figure out which one was a rookie of the year.
that's just cause voters keep voting him in cause he is white
last year he didn't even make the PLAY-IN and he was still 1st team!
2 weeks laters and Luka drops 73 against the hawks 🤣
The irony 😂
come on dawg, luka was the way better pick. ain't nobody talking about trae for mvp except atl fans.
To be fair no one is saying luka fir mvp either
@@Antonio-vn5xc to be fair, you sound like a casual my guy.
@@Antonio-vn5xcholy casual haha.
@Aven9er nah no one has a 7 seed team player in their mvp choices. Whether it's fair or not is debatable but it's fact my guy
@@Antonio-vn5xc bruh there is a 5 game difference between 1st and 7th in West. That argument is weak af
Thats the first time I’ve ever heard it said that way and it’s perfect
there’s 6’8-6’9 guys in the league that wanna play like they 6’2 and become guards but Luka’s 6’8-6’9 and he wants to play like he’s 6’8-6’9 and he’s a true pg
Difference between LaMelo and Luka
@@hb-robolamelo smaller
Michael Porter Jr plays like he’s 6’4 but I understand he’s had injuries
@@hb-robolamelo doesn’t use his size nearly as well as Luka but he is learning to if you compare the last couple seasons
@@dussa472 You ain't lied. He has gotten better. I think it'll be better when he works on that middy and realizes he can back down and either turn around and shoot or pass out the post. But it all stems from being a threat with the middy. Not saying to do it, but have it in the bag and they have to respect it. But he has gotten better.
Luka over Trae everytime, but we can all agree the real loser was PHX. Ayton aint even on their team no more. lol. Trae or Luka with D book woulda been nice for 10 years.
Absolutely Luka over trae but the gap ain’t far it’s like dame and Steph Steph better but you aren’t losing sleep getting dame Luka a 98 trae like a 95
Real loser is Sacramento lol. Bagley us worse than Ayton
PHX went to the finals with Ayton. Luka and Book wouldn't have gone far theyre both one-dimensional and play no defense.
@@MrJjreid but that's still one more dimension than ayton, who is zero dimensional and does nothing
@@yourboytg5318🤡
It wasn’t a fair trade, you’re taking Luka 10/10 times. Luka is just better than Trae, there’s no argument for Trae. Now Trae is still nice as hell and they still got the kind of PG they were looking for but you can’t act like just because Trae is a great PG himself that it’s an totally even trade.
The argument is for the trade. Atlanta got picks and an all star PG. The Mavs got the better player, but they gave up picks, so they should get the better player. So this is a fair trade.
I’ll agree Luca is better but Trae young averages 28/11 and in terms of play offs both guys got conference finals appearances so in my opinion it was a even trade in terms of not knowing what the guys was gonna turn out to be i don’t think young makes the mavs better and I don’t think Luca would make ATL Better
@@anthonymalcolmcalan Atlanta got Trae and the pick they got in the trade turned out to be Cam Reddish the next year. I still don’t think Luka for Trae and Reddish is an even trade.
@@SeddyPooh his name is Luka
@@anthonymalcolmcalan No matter how you go about it, the hawks got fleeced in this trade. Whoever in the hawks org made that trade probably got their ass fired. Trae will never be the #1 option on a championship team, he's too small. Just look at Dame and Dame is 3x the player Trae is.
Shoutout to Wes Matthews. Excellent defender, solid 3 point shooter and a great teammate. Has had a great career and still going! I want Wes on the Celtics.
As a Celtics fan from the 1970s and a Dallas fan since the1980s. This is an intriguing proposal and I’ll require more thought but that might be ideal or 12-15 minutes a game!
😂😂😂😂😂
Luka is an 1st Team All-NBA player four years in a row..
Love the little shoutout to Dirk at the end. I miss Wes playing for the Mavs
Ain't nobody taking Trae over Luka now.
Nahfr shi not even a debate
when did anyone thought of that
“6’8-9 dudes that wanna be 6’2” first name that come to mind is tatum lol
Brown too lol.
Tatum, brown, porzingis, kuzma LMAO
tatum , ben simmons,
And if it was 7’1, i would think of shaq since hes always wanted to be a point guard, check out that clip of him in the 2007 Vegas All Star Game lol
@@TheProdigyAccordionBro Shaq is stone age nobody talking bout him
lost me at “luka and trae the most even trade” nah luka damn near averaging an entire role player over trae
Andre Miller signature lob pass always finds its target.
Who here while luka bout to be in the finals
He's gotta future, he's gonna be on TV LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
New luka would be cold when I heard how long he was already playing pro ball , he was one of the best players in Europe at 16-17 years old playing for a top team. People tried to write him off as another Rubio but he was wayyy better Rubio in Europe
Black boys are just jelly. They're crying in dating economy and now sports lol
7:40 i died 🤣🤣🤣
Bro this Podcast is so good that it literally made my Newsbreak headlines this evening 😂😂
These guys CRAZY fir saying the Trae Luka swap was fair 😂😂😂😂.
Trae is not in Luka's level.
That 13/14 Blazers team was the best time to be a Blazers fan since the 02 Sheed and Pippin team. Dame,Wes,Batum,Aldridge,Rolo was elite. You'll always have love here in Portland Wes.
I guarantee ATL would NOT make that trade if they had the chance to do it over. It worked out because both teams got stars, but Luka is a few levels higher being he’s the one who’s a generational talent.
Luka way better than trey they just boys with him so they don't want to disrespect him. I will say though my favorite moment of any all-star game was when trey told Luka to shoot it from half court and they both leaned into each other watching it and it went straight in. I effing love that moment between them
Love these stories from teague
Love the shout out to Andre Miller. I think he was an overlooked and underappreciated player by the average NBA fan which is sad since he knew how to play and run the team the right way.
IEPTeague is one of the funniest nicknames I’ve ever heard 🤣🤣🤣
Luka is an all-time great, yall trippin
Luka is better it’s not an opinion it’s fact
luka doncic careeer stats. 363 games played 10,211 points fg 46% 3p 34%.
Trae young 386 games played 9,908points fg 43% 3p 35%
trae has played 23 more games but luka still has scored 300 more points. and on better shooting efficiency. their 3 point % is similar but luka was the 2nd fastest to 1000 3 points. I don’t see trae on that list.
Trae 386 games played 174 wins
Luka 363 games played 202 wins.
Trae young career stats
Regular season 25/9/3
Luka career stats
Regular season 28/8/8
Trae playoff career stats 26/9/3
Luka playoff career stats 32/9/7
luka is a far better player and it’s not close
And that's true even before rebounds and assists enter the "debate".
Andre Miller is a legend
Trae is fine but come on, there's no doubt that Luka is levels above him
Exactly simply cause of his height, that’s the only reason he can do thing Trae can’t but offensively they hand in hand skill set but Luka got more things unlocked
My son plays with Andre Millers son in Soccer. He's a great human and one of my favorite PGs of that era.
This dude Jeff Teague hilarious bruh
Another day another great clip from this pod.
Straight bucket getter in 2k with Teague
That Andre Miller impression was fuckin hysterical
Trae is a beast but that trade was still lopsided as hell. People are not laughing at people that say Luka got a chance to end up in the GOAT conversation one day. No one is even saying Trae is gonna pass CP3 one day.
im taking traea young over any version of cp3
@@merkgod8763 that’s an insane take
@@cam8868 in today’s game? not even close tbh
@@merkgod8763damn str8
@@merkgod8763lmao CP carried OKC to playoffs and they were a lottery team. Houston left him to rot. Then he worked his magic in Phoenix. Curry can't even do that RN lol. Chris did it with nothing lol
I'm a Bucks fan and I met Wes Matthews just before he moved to Atlanta after being traded. I don't think he knew I knew, but he was such a nice guy- happy to just chat and have a normal interaction. I hope he's having a good time down there
Luka could've been Booker's brother but became his dad instead 😂
214 always got love for Wes💙
Damn I didn’t realize how many great players Matt played with 🤯
I’m waiting for the next person to say to Luka,what trez Harrell said to luka, on august 23rd 2020 in the bubble playoffs against the clippers to see luka evolve to his final form
imagine if luka had a great #2 so he wouldn’t be gassed in the 4th
@@jeerell he does they have no defensive players like they haven’t had for the last 5 years lmao
@@ryleerichter804 meant that 2020 year
@@jeerell if you look up that date it’s legendary cause that really put Luka on another level with what trezz said
What he say?
Atlanta will always love Jeff Teague.
Trae made it to an ECF, when no team in the East had 50 wins and the Celtics made the playoffs with a 36-36 record. Plus, he had a solid team around him, while Luka has had to carry some bad teams.
Luka is almost the perfect player. His only fault is he is a below average defender. Luka averages 5 more points, 5 more rebounds, 2 less assists, and is more efficient from the field and from 3 compared to Trae. Trae is also one of the worst defenders in the league. I like Trae, his skillset and how clutch he is but he's not on Luka's level.
he is not below average defender this season
Yeah he's not a great defender, but he's definitely gotten better the last couple of years. He's at least average, but I would say he's better than average this season so far.
He’s a great post defender tho
And he has next to no value off-ball, and he often doesn't get back if he don't get the call and the Mavs gotta play 4 on 5, and he takes ill-advised shots at bad times simply because he has the ability to make them, not the athlete that some other guys are. But yes, he's the perfect player.
@@EZR725your literally taking last years post Kyrie Luka and implying that’s who is always is. He was hurt, out of shape, and in a law suit against his mom. That was the worst Luka we’d ever seen. You forget the 4 seasons before that and THIS season. He’s actually elite in post defense, even better in iso defense. While having a career year in every offensive category being only 24 still. So yeah your lazy ass outdated take highlights your ignorance.
I watched the whole episode. You can tell love the game, and you break it down like scientists.
Glad to see Andre Miller get love. As a white point guard in high school I tried to model my game like Andres
4 time all nba luka is on the path to greatness
it worked on me...i clicked that button. im not that word you said though
andre miller callout, the impressions had me dying
swear i said the same thing in my head "oh nah i aint no bitch nah" 🤣
I remember, when JT called Luka in his 2nd season arguably best player in the league.
Everyone outside america knew luka is going to be a legend.
The best PGs always hyper aware of who hasn’t got a bucket in a while and to get them involved so they would keep rebounding or playing D or whatever they did best.
Him and Brunson were the drafted the same year is also crazy
Them foams tough lowkey Teague…I might have to dig in the storage lol
Subscribed. I don’t ever subscribe to shit but the way y’all did that.
This shit not even close on Gawd. Atlanta kicking themselves no 🧢
IEP TEAGUE is insane 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣bro Jeff T is fkn hysterical
Andre miller was solid af
Turbo blunts 🤣😂🤣
Trae is not on Luka's level man. The cope is crazy 😂
IEP Teague is crazy lmao
Shoutout to H hallway is crazy 😭😭 I miss pike man
The Big downside for Luka is he did too good and they can't build more talent around him, they're quite stuck in the purgatory... Obviously he keep the ball all day long, but i think that's more of a consequence
Unlike Victor. They're still tanking for him 😭
u see right there, monsieur pops learned from lebron cavs and luka mavs, it dont pay to have ur franchise rookie get too good while the rest of the team cant catch up. so wats the spurs gone do now? they tank
I would like more of Luka's former teammates to talk about what he was like in the locker room, in the training room and during the games, details that are not usually told to the media, so that we can get a closer picture of reality about this team(or any other). They matter, not what is seen on TV, or the commentary after each game...Let's not endlessly assume...The players probably signed a non-disclosure agreement, and that would be a major impediment for us to know exactly what happens behind the scenes of each team, that's why we see such testimonies given "with a pipette" to the public...
It's just a matter of time until no one can deny Luka, could be this year, could be next or the year after, but it's coming. He's gonna stomp everyone in his path and take the chip. You can see the greatness, and it's coming
Bro .. Wes Matthews Dre Miller impersonation... 😂😂😂😂
Shoutout Andre Miller 😂
Jeff Teague funny as hell
MVP should also mean being the best player in the league not just the most helpful,,, *Valuable.. Luka is on another level then anyone I see and he opens up everything
"The hardest part about developing habits of winning is, you're not gonna win every time you try and develop those habits" - That's a BAR
This is a i gotta keep my relationships takes😂😂
7:20 yeeeeah
I 1st known Luka when i watch the Real Madrid played against Barcelona Regal...I was surprised that nobody's talking about him during the draft...The Hawk's Management was finessed by Mark Cuban😅
Wasnt the FO and management... it was the Hawks owner. The FO couldnt get a deal done, so Cuban called Ressler and talked one on one. Something like "Hey Ress, those guys argue about any small detail of the trade. Lets get to the point. We know you really like Trae, you know we like Luka. How about we give you an additional 1st and we end this farce?"
Tadaaa... Luka was traded to Dallas! 😂
Giess ima be the one to mention that Marquette backcourt with Wes, jerel mcneal and dominic james
Andre miller was cold. He dropped 52 out of nowhere with Portland 😂
Fr tho I agree with Jeff on that if Trae was in New York or something the league would push him way harder he just kind of overlooked rn cuz he has help from Murray that’s just my opinion ima Pelicans fan
Steph curry even said luka has dat aura about him dat u knew he will go down as one of the greatest
1:40 😂😂😂
Brudda say “lemme shut the fuck up” mayne LMFAOOOOOOO ☠️
You got a future😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bruh!!!!
Andre miller was fucking nasty. One of the purest point guards ever
Giannis is not a traditional big, neither is Dirk. He is a seven footer, but he don't play like a big. Rasheed Wallace and Dirk Nowitzki are some of the first "modern bigs" that reached star level. There have been other shooting bigs, but they were usually role players in the past. Larry Johnson after hurting his back became a three point threat especially in his Knicks days too, but you could argue that once he lost those power dunks from his arsenal he sort of lost his star status too. This is one of those rare traits when a player can seemingly re-invent themselves on the fly and adjust after injuries to find a new niche where they can be very useful. LJ was one of these cats, another that pops into mind was Jason Kidd. Kidd was never a really good outside shooter, but once he hurt his knees he became a shooter and probably bought another 5 years into his career. Those knee injuries back then were something that ended careers... Really rare quality for a player and one you don't find out if nothing tragic ever happens. Love for the game is probably behind this too... Love for the game is usually the stuff that separates the very elites from the very good players... All NBA players are extremely good, but some still climb to the mountain top and some never seem to get off the ground. Love the game!
espn wishes their shows were half this good.
Always here for Dre miller shoutouts
We need Joe Johnson and Josh smith
“IEP Teague”😂
😂 Luka and Trae even.
Never forget White Chocolate Jason Williams, and Pete Maravich.
Luka and Trae are NOT on the same level LMAOOOOO
Luka is a sensational shooter, and a unpredictable game player. He's hard to cover, he has a different mindset, throws others off.
Luka watched this and dropped 73 on the hawks
Andre Miller cooked the fuck outta my Mavs back in the day no lie every time we played Denver I was so pissed 😂
He Cold
Annnd now the idea of the trade being ‘even’ is looking more and more ridiculous. One is rumoured to be available for a trade, the other is probably a lifer on his current team.
Shoutout to Wes Matthew for giving Giannis his flowers👏🏽
Mf on the right said „ I think people pick luka cause he rebound better“ like wtf lol😂
If the hawks had luka in 2021 they might be champions right now.
That trade will go down in history for how bad it was. Atlanta is now consodering trading trae. They lost the trade everyone knows it except atl fans
Ice tray!! Beast , but I'll take luka!!!
He gets shit for his playing style by the playground fanboys, but Luka has better numbers in EVERY CATEGORY than LeBron for career so far. Plus he's still getting better.
Sad that hoopers don't know ball when they say the trade was even lmaoooo
