The Sad Truth About Being Luka Doncic
The Scary TRUTH Nobody Is Noticing About Luka Doncic
One man is not a team...
His team failed him and now everyone is blaming Luka for this mess...
Hell naw he a ball hog
@@howarddavis3517casual fans be like
@howarddavis3517 he was literally passing everywhere and Derek and Tim bumm ass hard away kept bricking threes
@@howarddavis3517 he is no.1 in potential assists in the nba...meaning if his team mates made shots he would be no.1 at 17.5 assists per game. yeah a true ball hog
@@howarddavis3517 Stop watching basketball mate. The dude was 3rd in assists in the whole league... 3rd. Only 2 others passed the ball more than him. Golf is a nice sport though.
The truth is the Celtics won because they were a better team. Deal with that and Leave Luka alone.
But when it happened to Harden; hes “trash”
Harden never led his team to finals in his year 6. Stop comparing him to luka. Luka is more similar to LeBron.
@@jtennyson51 Harden led his team (18’ Rockets 2 All-Stars) to 65 wins and the 1st seed in a stacked western conference; the same conference with the greatest team of all-time (KD Warriors with 4 All-Stars)
Harden and the rockets then went up 3-2; they eventually lost in 7 due to an untimely injury to Chris Paul (their only other “star” btw)
Scott Foster also pulled his infamous master class by robbing harden of 13 points ironically. Foster and his team also then proceeded to miss 11 calls. Man it would’ve been great if the rockets had an owner that invested in the team at the time to pay the refs off.
But yeah it’s a team sport so you’re right let’s leave Luka alone but let’s slander Harden and his reputation.
@@gungadin9686 Get off your knees for Luka. It is embarassing. 1) he wasn't injured, he was out of shape and physically worn out. 2) he also led in turnovers, missed field goal attempts, etc... production is not equal to impact, although there is some correlation.
Luka is a great player, but is also overrated.
Agree. Luka was obviously hurt/ not playing @ 100%, but I don't him playing healthy/ @. 100% wouldve changed the outcome.
Luka blaiming himself is just sportsmanship, we all know its the team that fell short.
0:30 -- He didn't fall short, the TEAM did. Basketball isn't golf or tennis, it is a team sport with at least 8 to 9 guys playing on each team per game.
Where was this logic before the finals😂 y’all thought Luka and Kyrie would steam roll the “easy path” and “non battle tested” Celtics 😂😂😂
They could have. But refgate happened😂@@curtiszyr
@@curtiszyr I never thought that.
@@curtiszyr this was coz it was before kyrie decided to get a lobotomy and j shit all overhimself in 4 of 5 games we expected him to drop a good 25+ each game which he didnt
@@martindarpatov1685 lol did Kyrie decide or did get locked up
?? Fell short? Without him they wouldn't even be in the finals. What about other players not showing up on games 1&2? Him scoring 30 even with multiple injuries?
No excuses are tolerated. Bron is still held accountsble for his finals loses, even though he couldn't have done anymore in almost all of them.
@@kjjr3270who holds Lebron accountable? The media praises him even when he's the reason they lose. Only people I've seen hold him accountable are youtubers. And people just call them 'haters'. FOH
@@redhorsepapi FAX
Obviously he didnt fell short. Imagine putting points from 25 or more per game.. He needs a RELIABLE TEAM. He can't do it all!!
Everyone from Dallas besides an injured Luka was garbage. "One man cannot defeat the Boston Celtics" - Michael Jordan
okay but kyrie carried too much
@J_AllDay u mean the kyrie that scored less than 20 in 4 of 5 games not
Where was this quote before the series 😂
@@curtiszyrfr. Everyone had the Mavs running through the Celtics cause they were in a weaker conference. Celtics slapped all of them back to reality.
Please don’t compare what Jordan did, to what Luka did.. & before you say “did I say that” quoting Michael Jordan on what he said about the Boston Celtics is MOST DEFINITELY implying it
Celtics have 6 players in the top 100, Mavs have 3 and 1's a rookie. Every other legit contender has at least 4. Luka driving this squad of misfits to the Finals with multiple injuries is nothing to be ashamed of, it's the stuff legends are made of.
Let luka give up control and watch this team plummet to bottom 5 in the league. His teammates are garbage. They can't do anything offensively.
Wouldn't say they are garbage but they definetly are not the ball handlers needed. Roster tweaks are necessary.
The team that went to the Finals just came around about 5.5 months ago. They did play very well in my opinion. Not just Luke. But everyone. But since most of them were INEXPERIENCED in a Finals, this is bound to happen. I think it is a learning curve of being in 1 team and being able to learn how to play efficiently together. Plus even if we do not want to excuse his injury, Luka was in reality injured. No questions about that. I think they will be able to come back stronger next season. I am excited to see how they play next season and see how much they have improved. People will always point fingers to the star players. When Jordan was with the Wizards, he couldn't bring a championship to them. Was he heavily criticized for that? Give Luka and the Mavs a break. 2023-24 Season has completed. Let us all move on and stop pointing fingers to that boy. He did his best and his team did their best. I think they will come back stronger next season.
It's a team game. not an individual game. All the mavs needed to do was for their role players to hit wide open threes. that's it.
Typical mavericks. Refuse to put talent around luka like the did with dirk. Gave him kyrie, but that all they got.
True but role players also take time to improve.
I agree 1000%. The word for Luka's style of play is heliocentrism. And I loved that you brought up Kobe - he won his last 2 because of his greatness, combined with Phil Jackson's triangle offense (which got every player involved - by design). If Luka had a system like that, he's flourish like Kobe did. IMHO
Luka got to recover before he can play good
Life isn't fair, life is short, and life is hard. You are never perfect, but you can get better than yesterday.
I agree with you. The Mavs should have much more actions for a Luka catch and shoot, and Luka could improve his moving without the ball. The fascinating thing is - that even banged up as he was - the Mavs would have had a chance if the other players just hit the open shots he was generating for them. It didn't happen this year. If the Mavs just had a couple of players that can generate their own offense - it would be a great relief.
The guy's 25yo, kind of too early to say "start of his downfall"
the way Luka plays basketball it severely limits what other guys are allowed to do on offense outside of kyrie and even kyrie didn't even play well either. It definitely gives off some of that James Harden vibes from Houston. One guy on the team is so great individually but everyone becomes restricted and handicapped in terms of impact.
I agree. He does need to get his usage rate down. No team has ever won a championship with a player dominating the ball as much as Luka. Basketball is a team game. The Celtics won against them as a team. Luka is an unreal talent. He's only 25. I have confidence the Mavs will figure it out sooner rather than later led by Luka. Thanks for the video. Peace.
He needs to get in shape. He especially needs to drop some weight. If he gets on a good nutrition program and starts taking care of himself some of those injuries will decrease too.
He'll never be an elite defender individually, the Mavs need to build a team defensive scheme around him that makes sense for them.
You do understand that Luca had 30pts avg , without being in shape :D . If he was in shape, he would have 40? 50? He was 1st in every category in the playoffs , where he was injured and off shape... What else would anyone ask of his player???
Good video.
Let's see what the kid will do.
I doubt he will change.
Hopefully, I am wrong.
Luka already a great player, gonna be a legend when he leaves. His legacy in the league i feel like will depend on hkw well he takes care of his body.
You can turn luka into a defensive player, less offensive but not defensive. He needs wisdom and Balance. 🙏🏾🔥
Teamates rely too much on doncic in creating plays..they know luka is having hardtime passing the ball they sont initiate to make plays to run so luka can pass the ball
In the NBA, it is a team sport not a one-person team. Look at the previous NBA teams that won the finals each year with 5 players doing their role to make a difference on and off the court. Luka is very talented and an awesome player to watch but he needs more help, so he doesn't have to carry this load on his back to just do his role and maybe this team has potential.
idol luka will bounce back strong for sure
Even if Luka was healthy, the usage rate will still kill the offense. The Mavs would still let Luka score while the others would force the turnovers...
Let me spoil it for you...the reason why Dallas lost wasnt Lukas injuries but the Boston Celtics. No team was going to win 2 games in a series against the Celtics. Also in game 5 they denied Luka the ball so much, offence was being ran by other players...we all saw what happened
In the NBA the team needs to be organized by 5 players not by one player. Each player plays a role on their team instead of relying on just that certain player to shoot, pass, rebound, steal, block, and field goals in the paint and three-point line. It is exhausting to see one player just run the team because they want to do everything but can't win when it comes to the finals.
@3:38 is the graphic or audio wrong?
Bless his heart.❤ Let him rest. Let him mend his body and mind. And this applies also to Slovenia. He needs to mend.
Luka has to figure out if he is staying or leaving the Mavs to win a championship and a ring too.
There is no question of Luka's basketball ability. He is 25 years old, with 6 years in the NBA.
He basketball resume speaks for itself of what he has accomplished previous to coming to the NBA and yes, has some great statistics so far in the NBA.
Here are some points I wish to make.
1. He needs to get in shape. Every years he looks heavier and I don't think he works out with weights.
2. A lot of players carry and palm the ball while dribbling; Luka is the one who does it the most... Dribble, dribble.. palm the ball high while dribbling, hold it for a few seconds to determine if he should shoot or keep dribbling.
3. It is obvious that he is sneaky with his dribbling but once you get close, he will immediately attempt to dribble behind his back and lose control, high percentage of turn overs.
4. Probably complains more than other players, like if he is exempt from getting calls against him.
5. Has no speed running the court, no speed, no defense.
6. I believe Luka will only play 10 to 11 years in the NBA. He doesn't have the stamina.
7. We always tend to put a young basketball player on a pedestal, comparing them with actual legends and hall of famers. They did it with Ben Simmons, they did it with Zion Williamson, they recently did it with Anthony Edwards and now doing it with Luka.
8. Some fell short, others will never reach it. As a young talented player, they are fast and agile but lack the maturity that is part of the game.
9. Luka is one of those magical players that come to the NBA once in awhile.
10. Dallas didn't win the NBA finals because of Lukas immaturity and average plays. Nothing to do with Kyrie yet I give Kyrie 3% of the fault. The Boston fans took care of Kyrie.
11. It is to soon to make comparisons, to soon to expect Luka to be a champion, but it's never to soon or never to late for Luka to get in shape, to be quiet and realize it's a team sport and playing tactics are part of it.
12. Dallas will not reach the finals in another 10 years, even more if Mark Cuban sells the team.
13. Jason Kidd will have one more year as the coach, then it's over.
If you watch MJ - especially in his sixpeat playoff years - he was always careful to get his team-mates involved early in games, before always closing strong; and he was always tight on D. To wit, it was only when MJ relinquished his ultra-scoring dominance under Jackson's triangle system where the Bulls achieved their franchise sucess
If NBA refs could be able to blow their whistles every time Luka is fauled he would be playing against empty floor! 🤨

God bless you and your family and friends too.
82 regular season games are a long season. I know it isn't easy to reach the finals and win for your team. It takes time, training on and off the court, get enough sleep, exercise, eat a healthy diet, hangout with your family and friends, and get back to training. There is a lot of distractions on and off the court. I know it's hard to keep your composure. Keep focus on what's important to you and keep that to heart. Life is too short not to have fun in life.
nearly 50% yet he shot 40%?
No one else catching that lol.
Luka was AMAZING thru this postseason but in a series against the Celtics the Mavs were OUTMATCHED at every level. The Celtics are a better team than the Mavs (and every team in the nba), in fact the real story line here is about Celtics dominance this season. The Mavs were the Cindarella story , could've missed the playoffs but going down the stretch they were also dominant. Lukas weakness in turnovers, playing defense, health and conditioning, free throw and threepoint completion percentage and composure were present however he dominated the playoffs in scoring, rebounds, assists, and steals and when he was on court Boston was negative in the points. To me the story isn't about Dallas not showing up but more or a young David going against a seasoned and complete Goliath of a team in this years Celtics.
some one who has to carry the offense as much as luca does struggles with defending at a high level
Luka - one of Slovenia's finest
He's the second best player in the world behind jokic. That Celtics team was deep. They make the playoffs even without brown and Tatum. He gets a team around him he'll get his ring. I think Mark Cuban will make that happen but it'll take time.
People keep saying Luka needs to give up control. His usage rate is too high. To whom? Nobody asks that next question.
Luka was and is exceptional. Kyrie is trash and inconsistent. Luka is 25 years old and people acting like his career is over.jokic won NBA championship at 27or28. Celtic's were the better team so they won and it doesn't translate too Luka is trash... Same for datum and brown hate when they lost the past couple years going as far as saying tatum and shouldn't play together
Get to the point of the video. 6mins in and your just telling us what we already knew. If your point was that grounded and rooted and made sense you wouldn't waste so much time getting to the point. Which..... I never got to because of all the pointless talking points you showed.
This is a mid vid
It's Michael Jordan and Lebron James early season all over again. Everyone expects them to shoulder the whole team but they rely soo heavily on Luka and sorta Kyrie that it just went so far.
Its amazing how ppl don't understand basketball lol luka just carried a rookie 2 players from hornets lol plus one from Washington and vs 4 50+ teams lmao legendary
11K 1d 338K subs
His time will come. 6:15 is just disrespectful...
Reminds me of when Kobe lost to the Celtics in 2008. Luka and the mavs are gonna bounce back. Either next year or the year after.
Hes 25. He will have more runs
Luka is good but....just kidding, really enjoy his game, only gonna get better
Sadly luka is a master at offense but average at defense. Defense wins championships.
I don’t believe Luka will ever win a championship because of the points you made… Iverson was a different player but same concept, and he didn’t play with a serviceable co star on Kyrie level.
I think Kyrie is no spring chicken and he’s not getting better. So when does Luka championship come? Because it’s definitely not happening next year.
Comparing iverson and Luka is crazy!!! Luka a 6’8 point guard that can pass and is a walking triple double. Man yall didn’t have this energy a couple weeks ago. Dude looses a finals like lots of greats did and now he can’t win at all? This kid is destined for greatness! Dude is 25 he’ll be there soon and all yall will change that tone or maybe not yall probably will still hate 😂
Entrusted with more offensive responsibilities? That’s a joke. He didn’t chose to pick up all those offensive responsibilities, the mavs handed that to him on a silver plater because that’s how he presented himself. His stats are meaningless considering how much he uses and controls the ball. No one said a word about Luka having too much offensive responsibilities when he was happily dropping 30-40 by just dribbling around people and getting easy layups or passes.
Luka has all the brains for offense when he’s in control. Give the ball to someone else and his usage and stats drop along with all of the mavs hopes.
If Luka had been realistic instead of going out to get his points they would’ve been better prepared for the finals but Luka probably thought they were fine playing how they had been all year and it was not enough mainly because he couldn’t get anyone else involved. He got his 20-30 but it was inefficient and his team struggled.
I've been saying for a long time that Luka and the Mavs are better off with him settling into a point forward role (small forward) and giving the ball more to Kyrie. Let Kyrie and a backup point guard take on more burden, and to push the pace. Been saying that for several years now. But the negativity around Luka now is WAY overblown. No one is giving him credit for making it to the finals, but everyone is finding holes in his game. I would change Luka's role some, but the Mavs don't seem like they want to. But their way is successful. This was Boston's year. They were hard for anyone to beat.
They already did that when playing with other team. Just cannot do that when Kyrie is cursed in TD garden and Boston is too strong this year to not allow Luka and Kyrie taking break individually. When both of their stamina are down, their magic in clutch time cannot be shown
Luka will move to the Spurs in 2026 to play with GOAT Wemby
These comparisons are so skewed. FG% matters. Rule changes matter. And mostly defense matters. Bro only plays half the game.
He should learn during the summer not to look at the ref at all. He should increase the speed of his legs. And I guess work with some top defense coach to improve. Also improve his 3p shooting, that was not there at boston; partially because of injury. Unfortunatelly he joined Slovenia national team, and that is not best idea. Nobody in Slovenia for the first time in the history would not saying anything if he does not play.
No one disputes Luca’s offensive genius. But you have to balance it against him being an historically inept and indifferent defender. His blow by rate of nearly 70% is the worst since the stat has been recorded. For all his offensive genius, he is giving 15 PPG back due to his atrocious defense. Secondly, there is a long history of ball dominant players being unable to win a championship. This list includes Wilt Chaimberlain, a young Michael Jordan and James Harden.
He’ll get there like u said wilt and mj had to change their game. Luka will do the same. He’ll get there he just gotta work and tweak a couple things. Dude also played injured the whole playoffs and still made the finals and was 3 games away from a chip. This loss will help him improve
@@purplesky4157he will now add defense to his game. If he becomes a good perimeter defender it's over.
15 ppg? You realize that Luka averages over 30 ppg, right? Jordan figured it out. Wilt won a couple of rings. Hardin never got to the finals as a team’s best player. Luka just did though, at age 25. Jordan didn’t win a ring until age 28. Many star players struggle on defense or in some regard in their early years. Luka will continue to improve the gaps in his game. None of the best players in the game did anything by age 25 either. Luka will be fine.
Well this video is full of BS!
What a dogsht video lmao
