Just to remind you, the only ones left from the team when Luke came to Dallas: Maxi, Dodo, Dwight, Jalen..The first ones that really accepted Luka: Dodo and Maxi 😄
Der Ball bleibt förmlich an seinen Händen kleben! 😆 So wichtig für Dallas, dass er geblieben ist. Er ist sicher die 4 Jahre und 35 Millionen Dollar wert!
To block shots of players like that with his height i think hes doing pretty good in terms of athleticism In europe when he played at munich he looked like the best defender in europe
@@lukashelmhart6049 that's true. I am from Germany and remember his time in Munich. He does do pretty good in terms of athleticism. But he is no prime Josh Smith, Javale McGee, Blake Griffin, Shawn Kemp, prime Amare. Maybe comparable to Nance Jr. What do you say how does he compare to others?
If you analyze his blocking. It's nothing flashy it's just extremely fundamental technique. He keeps his hands UP when he's on the ball defensively. Most players hands are stretched out side to side as a formality.
Very impressive how guards cannot beat him off the dribble. Great defensive instincts and super valuable trait to neutralize mismatches in this pick n role heavy league! Great under the radar signing. If he can get his 3pt up to late 30's this would be steal of th8s years FA!
Maxi Kleber is the best defender in the NBA no one knows about! 1 of only 13 NBA players with at least 1 block and one three pointer per game and he did it in just 20 mins. If the Mavs start this guy and give him 30 mins a game he will easily outplay that contract he just got. 2nd season in the league and getting better each year! If he continues to improve his 3 point shot he will become one of the best 3&D big man in the game! Maxi has a bright future!
Naw not DPOY material, but getting some votes for all defensive team yes, maybe if he gets 30+ mins he could sneak onto the 2nd team all defense one day.
He knows when to jump, and where the ball will be release..mavs will have more white and international players (luka, porzingis, kleber, broekhoff, powel(br), barea)
There's been talk about trading Maxi but I sure hope that doesn't happen he's our #1 shotblocker and #2 3pt maker behind only Curry. Our defense is bad enough but w/o Maxi it would be a lot worse.
For real I know he already resigned with Dallas but as a Raptors fan I would love to have Maxi on our team if either one of Serge or Marc leaves this offseason
So the mavs got Deandre Jordan to basically protect the paint and get blocks, they then have Kleber, Powell, who are both better defenders and get more blocks for way cheaper. Jordan's gonna find himself out of the league if he doesn't learn to shoot free throws. Always another young athletic big looking to earn a spot.
I think he is the only one playing defense. Look how the blocked guys dont know whats going on, as if defense is some unseen basketball moves. They have been brainwashed with this non defense NBA.
Very underrated
I wouldn't say underrated. Definitely underutilized. So inherently underappreciated as well.
@@OrionTheOwtlaw basically what he meant

THE WÜRZBURG WALL!!! Holy crap, I love this guy!
wursburg?
@@meep6455 Its a City in Germany, where Kleber was born
Sensei Katsyugu also Dirk
Fun fact Würzburg is the city where maxi kleber and dirk nowitzki was coming from
The German Shepherd. The Berlin Wall. The Deutsche Denier. Maximilian Kleber.
5:29 "the Mav's Manuel Neuer" haha
haha surprising that they know who neuer is!
#MiaSanMia Bavarian here
@@meep6455 he's playing top class team as a top class gk. Everybody knows who is neuer.
@@karahanemre Never heard of da bum.
@@dieseldog00 no way 😂
One of the best athletes and defender in the league
Every team should want him in their defense
8.33 maaan just look how he destroys griffin in a tied game in da clutch
Then hits the three right after😳😳😳
8:33
And blocks another one later
Most underrated player on the roster easily. Him and broekhoff
Sorry, but Broekoff is not underrated. He's kind of still in prove-it phase. Can't be underrated when there's not a body of NBA work to rate.
Broekhoff could be a top 5 shooter in the league one day
Man his shot is like🤤🤤🤤
@@lukashelmhart6049 nah... not yet
@@OrionTheOwtlaw thats why i said one day!
Aww man don't go throwing Maxi in the Broekhoff, that ain't right lol
Maxi Kleber is my favorite NBA player.
9:17 defended like a boss!! wow
lol.. Klebstoff = Glue is in Germany often referred to as Kleber...So one could say, once you've got Kleber on you,he'll stick!🤣
Where i come from kleber is actually a real word 🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🙌
Der Ball bleibt förmlich an seinen Händen kleben! 😆 So wichtig für Dallas, dass er geblieben ist. Er ist sicher die 4 Jahre und 35 Millionen Dollar wert!
He's so valuable
He has such a good timing. Maxi, Du bist der Beste...
He is not the most athletic guy. But he plays with great timing, intensity, heart and defensive grit. This makes him a great shot blocker.
He is very fast, look at the first play
@@PaulFred10 Hi Paul. You are absolutely right. I refined my comment.
Nevertheless, I think he is not "the fastest" as I wrote earlier. Regards.
@@theras18 cheers bro! :)

Dirk - The German wunderkind
Maxi- The Wurzburg Wunderkind
Karl Erhardt I know the announcer for the mavs calls him the Wurzburg wunderkind as a kinda ode to dirk who they call German wunderkind
Karl Erhardt Würzburg isnt even that small
Glad we signed him back
He knows when to poke the ball....good hands...very quick too....quite underrated it seems
Dude is super valuable to this team and especially for a playoff run. You NEED a guy like Maxi on your team if you want to go deep.
I love Kleber!!
Triple Dirk...👌
Doncic, Porzingis and Kleber. They should stick to the Mavs.
He’s has a very good skill set...I anxious to see his development
*Love him*
Maxi , greetings from Greece!
If you analyze his blocking. It's nothing flashy it's just extremely fundamental technique. He keeps his hands UP when he's on the ball defensively. Most players hands are stretched out side to side as a formality.
Yeah but he‘s underrated. He‘s a defense monster
Also has quickness and pretty good footwork allowing him to keep up with guards which makes him a versatile defender
@@quintondorsey7362 surprisingly quick
one of the best on-ball-shotblockers in the league. his backward movement is pretty good
if Kleber won't start next season I will eat my socks
Maxi is soo good !!
Almost 13 minute video of pure blocks, defending beast this guy. Very Cool.
Besser Maxi Kleber als UHU Flinke Flasche.
He’s so good in his defensive play.
Sign this man!!
3:17 "and one"....
Great Player and a realy nice guy. Go Maxi!
Kleber translates into German is glue. That’s why he blocks everything. He’s glue!
Uhmm, what the fck?
James SOFTen lmao
If he focuses some training behind the arc he can be a pretty good 3 and D guy for the mavs if needed! What a shot blocker!
He already has a good form so a little training this offseason and he could be a real threat outside
Damn... this dude has more blocks in a season than Porzingis and nobody is talking about him !!
Maxi is always throwing block parties
MAXImum blocks!!
Very impressive how guards cannot beat him off the dribble. Great defensive instincts and super valuable trait to neutralize mismatches in this pick n role heavy league! Great under the radar signing. If he can get his 3pt up to late 30's this would be steal of th8s years FA!

agree,but maxi is 27 years old so he's basically in his prime
Our version of Draymond Green, go Maxi!
I’m waiting for this!
Kleiber, doncic, KP, boban, Dorian. This squads gonna be scary.
pretty impressive for a bench player!
The German Shepherd.
the German wonderkid
10:56 “He’s got the length and the stroke”
Richtig nice Kleber. Daumen hoch
6:33 nice hookshot block against AD on the way. Yeah Baby
I could see him as dpoy or 6th man of the year with the mavs next season
Naw not DPOY material, but getting some votes for all defensive team yes, maybe if he gets 30+ mins he could sneak onto the 2nd team all defense one day.
i underestimated the defensive value this guy has!
Sixth Man of the Year within 3 seasons
He knows when to jump, and where the ball will be release..mavs will have more white and international players (luka, porzingis, kleber, broekhoff, powel(br), barea)
And he reads pumps fakes so well and meets them in air with great timing
I always forget about Ryan broekhoff, I dunno why they gave the man 5 mil though.
also boban 👀
@@kylacambly4012 he doesn't make 5mil, he's making 1.4 million
@@desedward7989 oh, I remember hearing from someone he was making 5 million. I guess don't believe everything you hear.
Mavs now have three Dirks that has been divided by skillset.
Didnt watch it... still hearing BLOCK BY KLEBER
Pelicans: we have Zion Williamson.
Mavs: we have maxi kleiber
Maxi is every where defense and offense
Great vid
Watch Maxi work on that guy @9:15. That's shutdown DEFENSE!!!
We need to re-sign this guy!
He is a great defender, and it's sad that he's underrated.
I really want the Celtics to trade for this guy. What an underrated player.
Nooooo this is not going to happen!😤 Back off💥👊
MAXIIIIIII
The Triple Dirks
this guy could very well be the best german power forward of all time
Mauga1 😂😂
Maxi and Dwight were a beast off the bench
I like Gobert but NO way in hell we be trading those guys for Gobert
must be reserved
Next season looks like European Mavericks
There's been talk about trading Maxi but I sure hope that doesn't happen he's our #1 shotblocker and #2 3pt maker behind only Curry. Our defense is bad enough but w/o Maxi it would be a lot worse.
Goat
His got some Serge I'll block yaaaa in him🏀🏀🏀🏀🥊
For real I know he already resigned with Dallas but as a Raptors fan I would love to have Maxi on our team if either one of Serge or Marc leaves this offseason
I don't mind him starting at 4. KP at 5. He deserved it, can also stretch the floor. I missed mavs basketball. #mffl
Triple Dirk!
This guy reminds me of Tyson Chandler
mavs secret weapon 😄
That’s a lock down defender
Geiler Typ
Imma get his jersey
after so many months in the nba, u still cant pronounce his name? holy crap...
they've settled on "kliba" now, it's not gonna change unless he says something :P
Scheint so als hätte er ein gutes Timing beim blocken.
Maxi Cleveland 🤣
Was Dirk in der offense war ist maxi in der defense
Future defensive player of the year
And allstar
So the mavs got Deandre Jordan to basically protect the paint and get blocks, they then have Kleber, Powell, who are both better defenders and get more blocks for way cheaper. Jordan's gonna find himself out of the league if he doesn't learn to shoot free throws. Always another young athletic big looking to earn a spot.
Some of these guys are lost to volleyball #rip to our fallen soldiers 😂😂
Well he is not Tim Duncan, but his skillset is not that far away!
i love Maxi Kleber blocks... but i love more Maxi Kleber's girlfriend
I think he is the only one playing defense. Look how the blocked guys dont know whats going on, as if defense is some unseen basketball moves. They have been brainwashed with this non defense NBA.
white king!
