That wasn't trash talking. If you say for a player "i will hold him below 50" meaning if he scores 45 you are satisfied, seems like the ultimate compliment to me.
I remember watching that game and freaking out after that shot. What a wild comeback. He had 2 first in NBA history that night. First 60pt 20rbs and 10ast game. I think Harden had a 60pt triple double but not with 20rbs. First 9pt comeback under 40 seconds. It's ridiculous people hate on him.
Luka is a big tank.. his not fast.. but he knows what he's gonna do and you're not gonna stop him bc he's solid.... But Luka still has no rings.. and how many times has he made it the finals?
This is not egregious clickbait. Real clickbait is blatantly misleading. Gotta draw eyes. There are creators who make great content but have difficulty drawing eyes.
@@WitnesstotheCrimethere's no trash talk here, so yes, clickbait. I get your point about drawing eye, but the title is clickbait. The fact that almost everybody does it doesn't change a thing, we shouldn't consider it normal.
History in the making man and we should all be glad to be alive to witness it 11:54 something like this is crazy! The amount of touch to even actually get the ball back off the intentional miss
This panel with racist comments lost me. These 4 look at the game through racist lens. Cmon guys give the race card a break, and just comment on the man's greatness
Wemb, looks promising, hope he's not one of those punk' kid, get's in over their heads and think he knows better than the coaches, they will groom him to be good, let's wait and see.
Bird got his 60 in 4 Quarters. Jovic got his in OT. Jovic is great but he doesn't play without the ball like Bird. He hasn't had one 50/40/90 season. Bird did that 4 years in a row in a Era that was much more physical.
Bird wouldn't have thrown a game to avoid winning a play in spot, no matter if Cuban had been the owner of the Celtics. So Doncic can pretend all he wants, but he's not even in the same league as Larry Bird.
Slovenian people are modest and polite so Luka is as well. Because of that, he will never say: I'm the best or better than some other player, like primitively LeBron said. Luka is more like Jordan who never said something like that but most other players and coaches said he is the best of the best, so better than LeBron as well. Experts, other players, and fans would tell that for Luka at the right time. But Luka wants to win only. All other is on the secondary level.
@@stanehering1heard that loud and clear. Luka is polite&modest, hope he does not get in the hype attitude like these young black players that get's a 3pt basket just as the game is getting started, beating their chest, as if it was the winning basket punks' the game just started, save that crap at the end of the game... these kids. Luka stay polite/modest, you have a career ahead of you,,, you will be remembered as one of the greats make sure you stay out of a career ending injuries... good luck to you, you are a gem.
i dont know,,, but the thing is basketball is a team game..you may have the best player in all of generation but if you dont have that best ever player to be in sync with his teammate, ego wise i mean,, you cant win a championship in any given team sports.
If only James Harden got the same respect like this. Only Texas fans know Luka modeled his game after James Harden and he said it himself. Yet people clown on Harden. Respect the man
As a young boy I marveled at the greatness of many players in the NBA league, like Bird, Johnson, Jordan. Now I can marvel at my countryman tearing the NBA. Slovenia and the rest of ex-Yugoslavia has a lot of affinity towards basketball, hopefully we'll bring up more top level players like Dončič, Jokić, Vujačić, Nesterovič, Kukoč, Divac, Petrović, etc.

“We’re holding luka to under 50” as of that’s a flex “yeah you might drop 49 on us but you won’t drop 50!” As if dropping 40+ isn’t insanely impressive
Luka had a few games where he has to score at last 40, for his team to win. And pop made a joke, it was more an acknowledgement of his skill and his contribution to his team.
The title of the video is very misleading pop wasn’t talking trash it’s more like he was joking around and complimenting luka that he’s moreso unstoppable “we’re holding him to 50” in a jokingly way cos he’s pretty much unstoppable. I would say this more like a click bait, you have nice videos no need for click baits my guy.
Luka just needs to add a bit less scoring and a bit more defence into his game but he will need certain teammates around him to make that happen. Kyrie is probably too old and too short. Mavs need to make moves going forward into the future.
so called "experts" , mostly podcasters who think nowaday superstarts always must be compare to old legends............ and luka white so he need to be compared to Larry , st*pid af
Are you daft? He wasn't trash talking. He was making a joke that his bottom-of-the-league team could hold a superstar under 50 points. Just looking for sensational headlines to get clicks, huh? I mean, I guess it worked.
Luka is amazing, but it takes an old school level of mean and nasty to be compared to Larry Legend. I'm not even a Bird fan, and this comparison is an insult lol
I used to think the Bird comparison was kinda shallow. Two white boys who just cook. So yeah, they were baked in the same lab. Massive Bird fan. Hated him when he was cooking the Lakers and the Pistons and the Blazers. Hated him then. Love him now. But Luka has all of that game, better handle, less defensive grit. Bird has a better stroke. But these guys really share some DNA.
8.9 dimes for his career is ball hogging? He hasn't had help most of his career, now he does. If i were luka in his first 4 and a half years, i would've hogged the ball, too. Those rosters were atrocious. His usage will drop this year now that he has enough help.
He's nothing like Larry Bird 🙄. Nobody practice harder or longer than Larry Bird. And he wasn't telling players what he was going to do before he does it on them!!!!!! NOT even CLOSE!!!
Okay Mr Curry Mr Curry you got two coming at you you got to you got Luca he's in your league now and you got I'll just calling the Joker cuz I hate I can't pronounce his name but you got to come in around that Turnpike Mr Curry that's all I'm saying keep an eye on them cuz I believe they're keeping an eye on you the Mavericks and the nuggets and the Warriors I would love to see those three in a shootout or a game match I can't wait till the season starts so I can have it
Luka never had a Robert Parish or Kevin McHale. Luka had had DWIGHT FUCKING POWELL be his starting center for FIVE FUCKING YEARS. It’s a tragedy that the Mavs are wasting this incredible talent. Dwight Powell, our starting Center has averaged FOUR FUCKING REBOUNDS for his career. FOUR REBOUNDS. Give Luka a real center and watch what happens
That wasn't trash talking. If you say for a player "i will hold him below 50" meaning if he scores 45 you are satisfied, seems like the ultimate compliment to me.
Also Poppovich is not the type of guy to talk trash
Yeah, at the 5s mark it was clear it was a compliment not a trash talk.
It was a fun way to say “no one can hold him, cant promisse less than 60”
Or something
"Seems"? 😂 Man, this was the most obvious complement 🙂
It’s a compliment but he see that and then gets 51🥶
Pop was joking when he said that. Luka was on a heater carrying the mavs during that stretch
Pop uses sarcasm. If you don’t get sarcasm then that’s on you.
He was complimenting Luka, obviously.
That missed free throw rebound and put back was absolutely bananas.
I remember watching that game and freaking out after that shot. What a wild comeback. He had 2 first in NBA history that night.
First 60pt 20rbs and 10ast game. I think Harden had a 60pt triple double but not with 20rbs.
First 9pt comeback under 40 seconds. It's ridiculous people hate on him.
Luka missed last FT and rebounded the ball because he planned it. And said to everyone ...I CAN DO WITH ALL OF YOU WHATEVER I WANT
Man’s got incredible editing skills. Great video

Tip for coach ...tell your players not to say a single word to luka EVER.Its in your best interest.
History in the making man and we should all be glad to be alive to witness it
11:54 something like this is crazy! The amount of touch to even actually get the ball back off the intentional miss
great video feel bamboozled that it has only 15k views 😯
sick video man, loved the guitar music superimposed over the Luka Magic at the end. Keep it up
Real OG sh*t to get 50 and then throw the ft off the rim to grab the rebound yourself to end n win the game🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats not trrash talk lol...saying that you hold a player under 50 is a huge compliment and admiration
This title reads like a story about a legend who is already in the HOF and played a few generations ago LOL
Dawg I wish you added his moments vs the suns in the playoffs
I love that you did that video
Thanks for that. It's great
Pop in a trash talking video is golden 😅😅
Huge Luka fan here! Thank you for the video. It was very entertaining
oooooo Nick that epic BGM u had in the comparison with L Bird.... damn that was soooo good. How very apt, love your video, you got my sub for sure!
ofc this is no trash talk to Luka, to say we keep him under 50 with a smile!
Popovich was just fucking with the media. Not trash talking
Beautifull, clean, smooth, efficient, technical and dominant basketball. Like a basketball teacher... 👨🏫🏀
This panel with racist comments lost me. These 4 look at the game through racist lens. Cmon guys give the race card a break, and just comment on the man's greatness
Pop is geat man, I hope Wemb is actually good. That way he is finally able to build a good Spurs team again with him as the lead.

Great video!
That ain't even trashtalk bro if Gregg Popovich said we'll hold him to 10 then I might consider that
Hope you don't listen to the haters. I know you put a lot of time and energy into these and i appreciate it. Keep up the excellent work. ❤
Fantastic video
Serbian humor between pop and luka
Dec. 20, 2005. Kobe 62 points, dallas 61 at the end of 3 qtr.
Hi Nick. You have earned my subscription with this great video. Congrat!
Your video was done very nice. Even like the music that you played. Job. Well done keep it up.
Gorgeous production. Luka is a beast.
Great, great vid ❤
Luka takes it personally.
He is still mad about it!
You saw what he did with Spurs on the 24th dec, he had a blast 39 point triple double
well made Nick
To be fair to Pop, he was joking. Still funny though 😂
That's not trash talk.
nicely done nick
Thank you
This was a lovely video
Great video 💪 🙏
This is a very well made video! Great stuff
Lukka is heart and poetry
Nice video you made bravo
if you think that is thrash talk, you have never played any kind of team sport in competition in your life man.
Just why oh why is Luka compared to Larry Bird? Their games are not alike at all
Pops and I play Army Men online All the time and i asked pops if he was trash talking Luka. He said he was joking. He has a good sense of humor 😊
YUP, that was a complement, imagine 50pts!!!
bro what hahahahahaha
0:07 as Pop says "50" there's a 50 right over his left shoulder.
Turn the music down so we can hear the audio...
hard to understand why anyone would want to start interjecting race into the conversation
Bird got his 60 in 4 Quarters. Jovic got his in OT. Jovic is great but he doesn't play without the ball like Bird. He hasn't had one 50/40/90 season. Bird did that 4 years in a row in a Era that was much more physical.

Man sucks they traded both finneysmith and spencer d.
Bird wouldn't have thrown a game to avoid winning a play in spot, no matter if Cuban had been the owner of the Celtics. So Doncic can pretend all he wants, but he's not even in the same league as Larry Bird.
People in the comments are crying, but Luka said himself that he can't be compared to Larry Bird. (its in the video).

Love watching Luka. But in all his highlight films, Mavs aren't dominating the scoreline. Mavs need to improve their defense.
