When I watched “the last dance” there was a moment when Michael Jordan was playing with a baseball bat in the locker room saying something like “it’s easy to talk trash when you’re up in the scoreboard, real men talk trash when the scoreboard is 0-0”. Luka saying “everybody acting tough when they’re up” was as cold as MJ.
Never forget Devin Booker also couldn't handle a Mascot trying to distract him at the free throw line. Not in a million years would Kobe be phased by something like that
@@hampuskarrlander7492 Their will forms an impenetrable mental shield. It absorbs trash talking from rivalries and turns them into energy. Absolute fucking alpha
Great intensity and a real man doing what he can. Everybody can be tough when they have an advantage. Luka brought the classic sport and classic basketball energy back in the league.
“That’s the sign of a good man, if you can talk shit when it’s even score or talk shit when you’re behind score. When you’re ahead it’s easy to talk.” - MJ
This is not paraphrased this is a direct quote from the last dance. I was looking for this, it was exactly what I thought of when I saw Luka. He’s clearly a student of the last dance haha. Mike sitting there swinging a bat smoking a cigar saying that shit haha
Lukas “everybody acting tough when they’re up” reminds me of MJs (not word for word) “it’s easy to trash talk when you’re up, only a real man can talk trash when they’re down or losing” both similar starts to their career , insane individual stats but little to no help , he’ll win a ring soon he’s a generational talent.
Luka is basically the modern Day Bird, not athletic, don't have high jumping ability, not the greatest defender, but he have the skill, and can get into higher level in moments when he needed to.
Some NHL teams also did it. Like Tampa Bay lighting a couple of years ago. They were #1seed going to the playoffs and got eliminated in the first round if the playoffs, just like the Suns did lol
The face of Luka in that thumbnail is one of the funniest things to have witnessed happen in real time. He was absolutely loving life trolling the shit out of them lol
“Send another one” That love and desire and confidence in Kobe’s competitiveness is very inspiring. The Black Mamba Mentality will continue to live on in the people who accept the challenge and face it head on. It is not easy by any means, but you strive to succeed under the pressure. Great vid. RIP Black Mamba
Not just the confidence and mentality, you gotta train and build like Kobe did every single day and put up to your game to say so, otherwise it’s nothing…
Steph once had 0 points against the Rockets in the first half, and torched them for 33 in the next half. THAT is how u overcome a rat shit half, not by pouting and giving up...
admittedly (from a curry fan) it's a little bit easier to do that when your splash bro picked up the slack with 21 in the half and the game is tied...instead of being down 30 and a dude on the other team has as many points as ur whole team. But ngl I'm not sure how long it'll be until something like this happens again.
@@manuprasad5354 right so tired of people elevating curry so high when he's super stacked and don't have to play defense while klay always comes thru for him
@@liampricei417 curry is overrated as well this year he had 3 al star level players in 2016 2017 they could have won the rings without him and in 2015 he beat a one man team with the deepest team in the league 😂
@@freeeeex3892 funny, because now hes in the NBA finals while making the reigning DPOY dance with him as he hits game winning shots deep into the playoffs. Luka doesnt care about regular season MVP's, he cares about NBA FInals MVPs. May happen this year, may not, but, make no mistake, its only a matter of time before hes your champion.
@@noob.168 Lmfao, he wasnt paraphrasing anyone bud. MJ said something like that, doesnt mean Luka knew that and said it just because of that. Did he mention he heard it from MJ before in any interviews? No? Okay, well no assumptions allowed c_nt.
This moment (from the disrespect from DBook and CP3 to the post game 5 quote to the game 7 victory) will go down as one of the many legendary stories that will not be forgotten in Luka's career. What a time to be alive as an NBA fan.
As a person who's seen Luka playing seen he's 14 I can say that he's always had it in him. He was born for these moments and, besides that, he also has the experience of playing big games like this against pro ballers since he's 16

@205popeye odd as a bulls fan, wish we had luka. His is all that. Your are talking about game with nothing on the line yet on the away court. Sometimes it better to keep you mouth shut before the fat lady sings. When did that awake the dragon? Game 5. That’s when they gave him extra motivation, just like Jordan/ Kobe. Killer instinct, mamba mentality
There was one man I remember in the 90s that not only was not scared of trash talking Michael Jordan, but that actively seeked him out and provoked him in every game they played, even if MJ was going hard on him and beating him, this player would still do whatever he could to make sure Michael Jordan came hard after him. It was Drazen Petrovic. Before his death in a car crash, when he was playing for the Nets, Drazen would always look forward to playing against Michael Jordan, because he too had that mentality, he looked for that pressure, loved that pressure. He saw Michael Jordan as man that he had to step up to, and defeat. He did this because he was not scared of Michael Jordan. Toni Kukoc once told in an interview that before the Gold Medal game in Barcelona 1992, everyone in the Croatian team was like "Okay, well, this is it, we made it, Silver Medal is for us." but not Drazen. Drazen Petrovic entered that court against the original USA Dream Team thinking "We can win this. We can beat this guys." Drazen had that predatory mentality, and I always feel sorry that he died so young before we could all see what his peak was while playing in the NBA, what kind of player he would have become eventually.
booker still better than cry baby luka don't get it twisted because of ONE playoff series. Booker led the best team to 64 wins, fluka led his to only 52 and luka has a WAY better roster.
@@retna1x363 wtf are you talking about? HAHAHHA luka has no other star player beside him while L Booker has CP0 that's why they got a better record and they still lose to luka HAHAHHAA fck suns
@@Patrickmedina619 fluka got owned by booker, booker is literally like 13-0 on him in regular season, fluka donshit is doing all this stat padding to get swept by the warriors
I always had that "double-team" clip in mind when Devin Booker was mentioned as a great. Flashy offence that crumbles under physical pressure is one my favorite things to see.
The saddest part about guys like Booker and Tatum who wanna be like Kobe so bad is that the one thing their missing is literally what made Kobe. Mamba mentality. Not the post moves, not the midrange game, not being able to make heavily contested shots regularly, not even trash talking. Kobe barely trash talked unless provoked. It was the mentality. Loving basketball more than anything. Being willing to die on the court rather than give up. These young dudes don’t have that right now
Kobe had a similar game 7 meltdown against the suns in 2005. Stop it. He literally quit and stopped shooting. That’s worse than trying hard and just choking
@@RaraThomasthekidabuser Jayson Tatum averaged 21 points and 7 assists on 37% shooting in the NBA Finals against Golden State. Are you kidding me bro? That's absolutely horrendous. A blind squirrel still finds a nut every once in a while. Not every pitcher who throws a no hitter is a hall of famer. Tatum ain't it buddy. Luka playoff career - 31/8/9 Tatum playoff career - 23/4/7 No dude. Sorry. Try again
@@solascriptura-e7t bro , put yourself in the suns fans skins man..... This is the most disgusting defeat ever , a fully capable team getting blown up by 40 points because they got no determination I'm not a Suns fans but that apology was necessary.
@@dalla-think3765 Yea it's not crazy to call it the worse loss in team history. Not only because of when we lost, but how we lost. A 64 win team couldn't make the WCF. In game 7 at home, where every team had won at home, we lost by 40. And it was pretty much over after the 1st. I think calling Booker soft is fair but he still has that killer instinct unlike CP3. What did CP3 do in the finals? At least Booker dropped back to back 40-point games to help the team. At least he put up a 40 point triple double without CP3. This is one bad game that he has to move away from but Booker definitely isn't "from the same cloth" as CP3 imo.
The most surprising thing I learned from this video: Jimmy doesn’t watch Game 7s live and his friend had to text him!?😆 EDIT: Woah woah woah, I made my comment in jest and from love of this channel. Some of you need to simmer down a bit. It's not that deep.
This one isn’t as bad though because the nuggets are obviously the better team and soon to be champions. But last year the suns were predicted to win in 5.
This video is EXACTLY I immediately liked Giannis when I started following the NBA. I know that even if he has a bad game, he is absolutely determined to being the best player that he can be and will always continue to improve. We've seen this happen with Giannis's shooting improving.
Actually, his shooting hasn't really improved. Last season he was shooting 30.3% from 3 with 3.6 3pt attempts a game. This season he shot 29.3% from 3 with the exact same 3.6 3pt attempts a game
@@OctagoneMusic what about his mid range shot. he is hitting post fades and regular jumpshots, not everything is about 3 pointers. His free throws have also improved heaps
5:41 We saw this come true in the western conference finals, the Mavs lost but Luka never gave up at any point in the series and he was fighting till the very end in game 5. As a Warriors fan I respect his competitive spirit so much.
Luka is definitely going win Rings in his career. He's smart, a team player, and has a lot of mileage on his veteran playstyle. All he probably needs is another really good two-way player that can space the floor with him. Most of the time he gets contested by 2-3 people going on the inside, forcing him to take tough shots but they still go in because he's that good.
@Nykaitcha yeah, he was good but i expect great from him, still, couldn't be happier with the season the Mavs gave me and the other fans, here's hoping that Nico doesn't pull a Donnie Nelson and shit the bed when signing/trading players.
Dude the moment i saw that clip of him saying that, i knew he would drop 40 bomb or somthing but not destroying the suns franchise (sorry for my bad english)
As always, well said. As a Suns fan, this was gut wrenching and deflating to watch. How do we lose back to back games like this after such a great season. "There's always next year."...(laughs at self)
@@captainlight8050 fun fact, stoudemire averaged more points vs Tim Duncan in the playoffs than any other player versus Timmy. Pretty nuts right? Two of my fav players right there.
The Suns trash talk has screwed them twice. I think a lot about when Chris Paul said after game 5 of the finals "we know Giannis is going to miss his freethrows we just need to get those rebounds." Then in game 6 Giannis proceeded to only miss two freethrows the entire game in order to win it all.
Bro I’m a Rockets fan, I’ll GLADLY take my 27 straight missed 3’s over what happened to the Suns… At least Book will leave basketball Thanos alone next time lmao
Booker also complained when he missed a free throw after the Raptors mascot was waving his arms, but one time Larry Bird made a free throw when people in the crowd were holding up pictures of models in a bikini
@@infiniteinfinity2570 it's obv an exaggeration 🤦♂️ euro league crowds are way more passionate because every single game matters because of the short season. They can get mighty Rowdy and start throwing hands and throwing shit in the stands
Goatest statement ever and it’s why I love Kobe, when asked about getting double teamed, this man said “you gotta send another one”, just stop playing basketball everyone
Brutal takedown, but so true. Funny how the Warriors just cruised past Dallas by making Luka play defense, earn his points with tough defense, and wear him down until he became inefficient in the 4th. Still, with all that, he was hitting big shots right until the end. As a Warriors fan, he was definitely the hardest player to stop that they faced all playoffs. You might not have noticed this, but Draymond and the other Warriors were extremely complimentary to Luka the whole series, even helping him off the ground during live play. They knew which bears to poke and which to avoid.
@@praenidd he literally played with a bottom feeder team from 03 to 2010, you literally have no idea what you're talking about, you could've been one of his teammates on the cavs during that time.
Why didn't you come back here 2 weeks ago when they played each other? Oh nvm that's right Book scored 46 pts on 74% shooting with the highest +/- out of any player on both teams by far (+33) You Luka fangirls are weird. You'll sit here and bring up stats from random regular season games where they didn't play each other as proof that "he's always one-upping him". But if I bring up the fact that Book is 10-3 vs Luka in the reg season, suddenly it's "regular season doesn't matter".😂 I never want to see Luka fans saying regular season wins don't matter anyways after Luka failed to get enough reg season wins make the play-in last season. 😭
@@KingNekro Booker got beat so bad, the suns had to write an apology letter. Booker gave up, quit because Luka beat him so bad in a huge game 7. Until either win a ring, that game 7 will be worth more than any regular season game or record h2h
@@AidanCran Bro Luka has yet to even win a conference championship. 😂 He's struggling to make the play-in lately. The way yall talk about that win vs us, you'd think it WAS Luka's championship. Because Mavs fans never want to talk about how Luka proceeded to lead them to a 1-4 exit in the WCF against a Warriors team that honestly wasn't that great anymore imo.(their road to winning the championship was just weird) The funny thing is, from my perspective as a Suns fan, YES LUKA IS AN AMAZING PLAYER and did great in that series. But as a whole I never looked at that series as such an impressive win for the Mavs. That series was a prime example of how badly a franchise can shoot themselves in the foot. Internal drama between the players, abysmal coaching,and even the owner of the team in a public scandal. The Mavs simply got the Suns at the perfect time, when there was so much drama going on behind the scenes, and the head coach was more concerned with shit talking his own players than making adjustments. Monty didn't even try to make a single adjustment even after Kidd adjusted and the Mavs defense clearly had the Suns offense figured out. It was the same story in the Finals vs the Bucks and even last year vs the Nugs. He even let the Nugs go on a big run early in the game without calling a timeout, just like he did against you guys in that game 7. He's just dogshit, and now he owns the prestigious title of owning the worst losing streak in NBA history. Then you got CP3 turning 37 and running out of gas, disappearing that entire series. If he even gave HALF his normal impact, that series never goes 7 games. Shit, it didn't help that Moron Monty was allowing him to continue bringing the ball up the court while getting full court pressed the whole game. Then we have the drama with Ayton, Crowder, and Monty which was so bad Ayton completely stopped trying and Crowder sat out the entire next season demanding a trade. Monty admitted to never even talking to Ayton a single time in the off season, even though Ayton was in contract negotiations. Etc etc theres so many more issues, like the Suns resting so many game at the end of the season. Completely took them out of their rhythm and chemistry, we'd already saw how it affected them against the Pels... they just didn't even look like the same team who won 60+ games. But at least in that series CP3's legs were still fresh and he was managing to run the offense. None of this is an excuse for how Booker came out shooting like shit to start that game 7. It's obvious he was collapsing under the pressure, especially seeing his teammates not giving any resistance on D. But if not for the drama surrounding the team, there was no reason the rest of the team should have collapsed like that too with the game getting out of hand so quick. Like I said the Mavs had Monty's system completely figured out and no adjustments were made. It should have never been expected of Booker to just go out there and run iso plays into double teams and somehow turn lemons into lemonade. After playing a whole season where he wasn't even the primary ball handler and rarely ever ran iso plays.

Jimmy, your videos are the primary reason that made me start following basketball. The look behind the scenes and the analytical perspective make it so much more then what I thought it was. Keep up the great work my guy!
This video is just WRONG. Everyone's lambasting CP3 and Booker rn. I get it. It's become a meme and everyone's jumping onto this bandwagon. But yall just seem to forget that CP3 put up a 14-14 perfect performance in the close-out game aginst the Pelicans. Booker was able to score big time and helped the Suns go on a 8-0 run in the bubble play in games. The last thing I expect is this channel, which shows to be stats based and objective, chooses to ignore the stats aginst his argument and even straight up fabricate them. For the record, CP3 has a 3-4 game 7s record before this series and NOT a 0-7. His performance in the previous game 7s are nothing short of an all star, averaging 20.6 points, 9.9 assists and 5.9 rebounds. Maybe they were just having an off night, just as what Jimmy EXACTLY suggested in the KD vid.
Bro!! I have to tell you something. My teenage son and I have been watching and listening to you for the past 4 or 5 years. Your analysis has earned my complete RESPECT of OG, IQ of basketball from the late 70's to the present. At times when I have had difficulty explaining things to my son, I have often told him to go watch your videos and learn a little something. So I totally appreciate you, bro! I am glad to see that you have blown up, and you deserve the accolades that you receive. It's not easy to find, discuss and prove valuable and relevant issues concerning this game of basketball. But, you do it, and you do it so well, and you back it up after searching through many hours of NBA video. May the good Lord continue to bless you for your passion and your gifts to us former Old School basketball players, coaches, and now just fans. ;-)
No Jimmy is great. He keeps everything on point. Now that my son is older, and I'm not coaching his teams, he often asks me if I caught the latest from Jimmy. Jimmy speaks to both us old heads, and these teens. It's a gift.
One of my favorite traits to see in a player is the refusal to back down. That’s why I love Luca and Giannis, they won’t stop until the final buzzer. If you beat them, you’re going to have to EARN it
Really think it goes back to how they were raised. Giannis and Luka ain’t ever have it easy and always to fight for what they wanted. D Book for ex ain’t have to work as hard, bro lived in a 2 story home in the burbs😭
Correct on all points. Luka does have that killer instinct, even if he has an off night he's still out there having fun and soaking up the energy. His own coach said that he thrives on the big moments. He reminds me of Jordan like that, someone talk smack and piss him off and he went on a run and destroyed them. I think Jordan saw it in him too which is why he signed him right away.
He talks about it a lot too just straight up saying he loves the competition, he's not scared of anyone and it gives him the confidence to lock in and play for fun. That's what makes scary good players who don't choke. Tom Brady has the same mentality its like he just plays to play and nothing really ever gets to him so he makes amazing plays almost effortlessly

I'm a Luka fan and I still can't believe how the series ended. What a time to be alive witnessing greatness in the NBA. I can now understand 'MJ will always be the GOAT' fans who witnessed his greatness live. Luka will surely be the next face of the NBA. Jxmy don't ever stop uploading these godly vids.
I agree with you. I just wish they would grow with the times and stop acting like the #1 spot is reserved ONLY for Jordan. There have been players greater than him since his reign, but Jordan stans will never acknowledge it. They measure every great player against Jordan as if he’s Jesus, and it’s unfair. On a higher note, Luka is a beast. 😂

I'm a forever Suns fan from a very young age. I experienced the ups and the downs, the years of title contention, the decade of being the absolute worst in the NBA, etc. I have to say that this season without a shadow of doubt is the most embarrassing season in Suns history and the hardest pill I've ever had to swallow for my favorite team. We've seen talent traded away or disregarded, undervalued, and poor decisions from management. But to see a very talented, very capable Suns team crumble from their own lack of sheer will power and competitive spirit is the most crushing defeat. I don't think the Suns will recover from this anytime soon and any pride that the organization has in what it means to be a Suns is diminished. No player with a winning spirit will want to don a Suns jersey. I hope I'm wrong but great video regardless. This one was necessary.
the Dirk led mavs lost in the first round after winning 67 games. and a lot of people wrote him and the team off after that. four years later he carried his team to an nba championship. you never know how it will all shake out. there is still time for booker to figure it out. for cp3... I think he just missed his last, best opportunity.
@@ericcouch 4 years? You realize Cp3 is the real reason this team is where it’s at right? Like you said yourself Pauls time is running short once he’s gone the Suns are back to square one.
Overreaction at its finest for 1 game result. Suns are still ELITE & have more impressive games than any other team in last 2 seasons. Suns crushed Mavs 3 times and slipped once. 🤷♂️ Cp3 is always injured in playoffs that's why he have not won it all.
After watching this game and remembering the ‘everybody’s acting tough when they’re up’ I thought to myself this guy has the mamba mentality but instead of a frown he runs around with a massive smile
The Warriors just have too many weapons. If one of Steph, Klay, or Poole has a bad game, chances are they'll be fine. If Luka has a bad game, it's good night for the Mavs. Brunson and Dinwiddie would have play their butts off and even then, there's no guarantee that they'd win.
no cap, the way you explained this has really made me think, conditions are not always going to be favorable for you to thrive, and if that challenge comes, you need to have the mentality to make it thru, otherwise you will crash faster than went up. MENTALITY IS KEY.
Steph saying "you don't wanna see us next year" and actually backing those words up the following year is better. But luka's "everybody acting tough when they up" is right up there with it.
That was a real MJ moment right there, ngl! When I saw that, I was like 'nah, is he stupid? He didn't dare saying that!' And then he did this! It must have been the worst day of Booker's life and it must've humbled him. He was beginning to get really salty after his 71 point game and I was beginning to dislike him. Thanks Luka!

I just want to say that your channel has rejuvenated my love for the game. It's been years since I followed Basketball in any capacity and I'm so happy to be back. Thank you.
As hard as it is for me to say which of your videos is my favorite, this ranks right up there. Booker was upset at a mascot for standing behind the basket. Like you say, either you have it or not. I keep watching players hoping one might become Jordanesque and go all out swinging, but somehow that is extremely rare air for most elite players. Seeing Luka do just that made me really happy, and I have no dog in any fight right now, but I enjoyed seeing how much humble pie the Suns had to eat. And watching the Heat implode today just made my week even sweeter.
Imagine if LeBron would have had it lol. I think Luka is gonna become the GOAT. I mean if we are being honest even Jordan said if you ask people in 20 years it'll be LeBron. Just seems to be the way things work. The new players take over the old and so on and so forth. Probably in 100 years they'll be putting LeBron and Jordan outside the top 5 lol.
There's only one Jordan, one Kobe, one Akeem, one Magic, and one Bird etc....out of thousands.....literally thousands of players over the course of history to ever play the game. Let that sink in....rare indeed
I'm a hockey fan from Montréal, I don't know much about basketball except that these athletes are incredible to watch on the court. What YOU add to the table is context. Stories will always be the thing that brings me to sports, what led to Crosby's golden goal at Vancouver of all places, the Kawhi trade that brought the infamous buzzer beater against the bucks and the championship or even the Astros cheating scandal! But every good story needs a good storyteller and the NBA can be proud to have you as a fan and a scholar of the game. Somewhere down the line we'll think about Luka, Lebron or Steph careers and highlights of the past and we'll hear your voice. Thank you.
Pat Bev's explanation on the difference between 2 great players and the cloth they're cut from is perfect. I'm glad you added that clip in and would advise anyone who hasn't seen the full discussion to watch it
The writing and narration in your videos is killer man; excellent work. You really add a lot of good commentary and your stats and comparisons always bring home the points you're making. Your videos always remind me why basketball is my favorite sport
bro jimmy you are #5 on trending. i’ve been subbed for a few years now and just seeing your growth and motivation to your craft is absolutely motivating. thank you for god knows how many hours you’ve put in on them charts lmao
I dont follow basketball or NBA at all, so it was strange when your videos came on my feed. I watched a few of them and I love how you explain your research and concepts so well that anyone can understand it. I might just take up watching the NBA after watching a few of your videos. Well done and keep up the good work.
This is by far your best video imo Jimmy. You spoke some serious truth that got me thinking about which type of person am I. It's beyond basketball. The stuff you talked about is some real life shi. Keep it up bro!
This video is just WRONG. Everyone's lambasting CP3 and Booker rn. I get it. It's become a meme and everyone's jumping onto this bandwagon. But yall just seem to forget that CP3 put up a 14-14 perfect performance in the close-out game aginst the Pelicans. Booker was able to score big time and helped the Suns go on a 8-0 run in the bubble play in games. The last thing I expect is this channel, which shows to be stats based and objective, chooses to ignore the stats aginst his argument and even straight up fabricate them. For the record, CP3 has a 3-4 game 7s record before this series and NOT a 0-7. His performance in the previous game 7s are nothing short of an all star, averaging 20.6 points, 9.9 assists and 5.9 rebounds. Maybe they were just having an off night, just as what Jimmy EXACTLY suggested in the KD vid.
@@danielr1rj players whole CAREERS are made in moments like these. No one cares about what you're talking about because no one had the pelicans beating the number one seed. Those bubble games may not have been a fluke, but they've come and gone. Relaying the past isn't going to get you far in the present. The Suns collapsed in a way that shouldn't be possible in that game 7, and when it mattered most, the people's, 'poInT gOd' and "kObE 2.o" didn't show up in anyway. This is the SECOND TIME they've blown leads/couldn't close out the series. All the memes and hate are warranted, especially due to how cocky the Suns acted. L deserved, get better
I remember your videos going back several years relating to Bird and Celtics. I thought this guy is talented being able to put videos together like he did. This is original content. Well spoken. Thanks to you.

Similar to mj's line everybody's bringing up.The meaning is also similar to giannis line "dont call me mvp..." So the real deal is : its not over (game, series, seazon, career etc) till its over. Just like kobe's line : job's not done. Wich is the exact opposite of what most do. Luka didnt get mj mentality in one game giannis didnt turn in who he is in one night mj him self didnt do it in one night or a year. Hard work, trying again and again to improve alot of time and of course talent. Nothing magic about being the greatest. Only determination motivation skills effort and time. Wich most dont understand or have.
When I watched “the last dance” there was a moment when Michael Jordan was playing with a baseball bat in the locker room saying something like “it’s easy to talk trash when you’re up in the scoreboard, real men talk trash when the scoreboard is 0-0”.
Luka saying “everybody acting tough when they’re up” was as cold as MJ.
That’s why Jordan signed that man he sees himself in him

Agreed. Even more insane is that Luka is only 23 years old so theres alot left in him and I mean ALOT

Sometimes it better to keep you mouth shut before the fat lady sings. When did that awake the dragon? Game 5. That’s when they gave him extra motivation, just like Jordan/ Kobe. Killer instinct, mamba mentality
@205popeye scoreboard
There was one man I remember in the 90s that not only was not scared of trash talking Michael Jordan, but that actively seeked him out and provoked him in every game they played, even if MJ was going hard on him and beating him, this player would still do whatever he could to make sure Michael Jordan came hard after him. It was Drazen Petrovic. Before his death in a car crash, when he was playing for the Nets, Drazen would always look forward to playing against Michael Jordan, because he too had that mentality, he looked for that pressure, loved that pressure. He saw Michael Jordan as man that he had to step up to, and defeat. He did this because he was not scared of Michael Jordan.
Toni Kukoc once told in an interview that before the Gold Medal game in Barcelona 1992, everyone in the Croatian team was like "Okay, well, this is it, we made it, Silver Medal is for us." but not Drazen. Drazen Petrovic entered that court against the original USA Dream Team thinking "We can win this. We can beat this guys." Drazen had that predatory mentality, and I always feel sorry that he died so young before we could all see what his peak was while playing in the NBA, what kind of player he would have become eventually.
True that, Drazen was a beast.

The saddest part about guys like Booker and Tatum who wanna be like Kobe so bad is that the one thing their missing is literally what made Kobe. Mamba mentality. Not the post moves, not the midrange game, not being able to make heavily contested shots regularly, not even trash talking. Kobe barely trash talked unless provoked. It was the mentality. Loving basketball more than anything. Being willing to die on the court rather than give up. These young dudes don’t have that right now

@@dalla-think3765 Yea it's not crazy to call it the worse loss in team history. Not only because of when we lost, but how we lost. A 64 win team couldn't make the WCF. In game 7 at home, where every team had won at home, we lost by 40. And it was pretty much over after the 1st.
I think calling Booker soft is fair but he still has that killer instinct unlike CP3. What did CP3 do in the finals? At least Booker dropped back to back 40-point games to help the team. At least he put up a 40 point triple double without CP3. This is one bad game that he has to move away from but Booker definitely isn't "from the same cloth" as CP3 imo.

5:41 We saw this come true in the western conference finals, the Mavs lost but Luka never gave up at any point in the series and he was fighting till the very end in game 5. As a Warriors fan I respect his competitive spirit so much.
Luka was the honey badger amidst the lions.
(BTW, that’s not a reference to his physical size; he’s 6’-fucking 7.)
Luka is definitely going win Rings in his career. He's smart, a team player, and has a lot of mileage on his veteran playstyle. All he probably needs is another really good two-way player that can space the floor with him. Most of the time he gets contested by 2-3 people going on the inside, forcing him to take tough shots but they still go in because he's that good.

The Suns trash talk has screwed them twice. I think a lot about when Chris Paul said after game 5 of the finals "we know Giannis is going to miss his freethrows we just need to get those rebounds." Then in game 6 Giannis proceeded to only miss two freethrows the entire game in order to win it all.
True. At that point you’re just publicly telling the other team what to work on until they see you again

I come back to this video every couple of months to remind myself to stay humble... And to laugh with Luka while he chills on the bench 😅
Booker also complained when he missed a free throw after the Raptors mascot was waving his arms, but one time Larry Bird made a free throw when people in the crowd were holding up pictures of models in a bikini

Goatest statement ever and it’s why I love Kobe, when asked about getting double teamed, this man said “you gotta send another one”, just stop playing basketball everyone
Brutal takedown, but so true. Funny how the Warriors just cruised past Dallas by making Luka play defense, earn his points with tough defense, and wear him down until he became inefficient in the 4th. Still, with all that, he was hitting big shots right until the end. As a Warriors fan, he was definitely the hardest player to stop that they faced all playoffs. You might not have noticed this, but Draymond and the other Warriors were extremely complimentary to Luka the whole series, even helping him off the ground during live play. They knew which bears to poke and which to avoid.
The experience of the Warriors says it all.
Basically just living through ths exact scenario LeBron did on the cavs, doesn't have help and gets targeted.
Wow. Such a great point. Draymond knows which player to talk Shit too, and which not too.
@@KOHoxton don't cap, never in his career did lebron play at high level without help. he started the superteam fever.
@@praenidd he literally played with a bottom feeder team from 03 to 2010, you literally have no idea what you're talking about, you could've been one of his teammates on the cavs during that time.
I’m back here after Luka dropped 73 on the same night Booker drops 62. Luka can’t help but one-up Booker 😂
Why didn't you come back here 2 weeks ago when they played each other?
Oh nvm that's right Book scored 46 pts on 74% shooting with the highest +/- out of any player on both teams by far (+33)
You Luka fangirls are weird. You'll sit here and bring up stats from random regular season games where they didn't play each other as proof that "he's always one-upping him". But if I bring up the fact that Book is 10-3 vs Luka in the reg season, suddenly it's "regular season doesn't matter".😂
I never want to see Luka fans saying regular season wins don't matter anyways after Luka failed to get enough reg season wins make the play-in last season. 😭
@@KingNekro Booker got beat so bad, the suns had to write an apology letter. Booker gave up, quit because Luka beat him so bad in a huge game 7. Until either win a ring, that game 7 will be worth more than any regular season game or record h2h
@@AidanCran Bro Luka has yet to even win a conference championship. 😂 He's struggling to make the play-in lately.
The way yall talk about that win vs us, you'd think it WAS Luka's championship. Because Mavs fans never want to talk about how Luka proceeded to lead them to a 1-4 exit in the WCF against a Warriors team that honestly wasn't that great anymore imo.(their road to winning the championship was just weird)
The funny thing is, from my perspective as a Suns fan, YES LUKA IS AN AMAZING PLAYER and did great in that series. But as a whole I never looked at that series as such an impressive win for the Mavs. That series was a prime example of how badly a franchise can shoot themselves in the foot. Internal drama between the players, abysmal coaching,and even the owner of the team in a public scandal. The Mavs simply got the Suns at the perfect time, when there was so much drama going on behind the scenes, and the head coach was more concerned with shit talking his own players than making adjustments.
Monty didn't even try to make a single adjustment even after Kidd adjusted and the Mavs defense clearly had the Suns offense figured out. It was the same story in the Finals vs the Bucks and even last year vs the Nugs. He even let the Nugs go on a big run early in the game without calling a timeout, just like he did against you guys in that game 7. He's just dogshit, and now he owns the prestigious title of owning the worst losing streak in NBA history.
Then you got CP3 turning 37 and running out of gas, disappearing that entire series. If he even gave HALF his normal impact, that series never goes 7 games. Shit, it didn't help that Moron Monty was allowing him to continue bringing the ball up the court while getting full court pressed the whole game.
Then we have the drama with Ayton, Crowder, and Monty which was so bad Ayton completely stopped trying and Crowder sat out the entire next season demanding a trade. Monty admitted to never even talking to Ayton a single time in the off season, even though Ayton was in contract negotiations.
Etc etc theres so many more issues, like the Suns resting so many game at the end of the season. Completely took them out of their rhythm and chemistry, we'd already saw how it affected them against the Pels... they just didn't even look like the same team who won 60+ games. But at least in that series CP3's legs were still fresh and he was managing to run the offense.
None of this is an excuse for how Booker came out shooting like shit to start that game 7. It's obvious he was collapsing under the pressure, especially seeing his teammates not giving any resistance on D. But if not for the drama surrounding the team, there was no reason the rest of the team should have collapsed like that too with the game getting out of hand so quick.
Like I said the Mavs had Monty's system completely figured out and no adjustments were made. It should have never been expected of Booker to just go out there and run iso plays into double teams and somehow turn lemons into lemonade. After playing a whole season where he wasn't even the primary ball handler and rarely ever ran iso plays.

But yall just seem to forget that CP3 put up a 14-14 perfect performance in the close-out game aginst the Pelicans.

For the record, CP3 has a 3-4 game 7s record before this series and NOT a 0-7. His performance in the previous game 7s are nothing short of an all star, averaging 20.6 points, 9.9 assists and 5.9 rebounds.

@@cnl_doubted1576 imagine if he did you clown
Correct on all points. Luka does have that killer instinct, even if he has an off night he's still out there having fun and soaking up the energy. His own coach said that he thrives on the big moments. He reminds me of Jordan like that, someone talk smack and piss him off and he went on a run and destroyed them. I think Jordan saw it in him too which is why he signed him right away.
Some ppl can turn negative energy into positive output. Not everyone is build the same. Others let negative energy get into their head
He talks about it a lot too just straight up saying he loves the competition, he's not scared of anyone and it gives him the confidence to lock in and play for fun. That's what makes scary good players who don't choke. Tom Brady has the same mentality its like he just plays to play and nothing really ever gets to him so he makes amazing plays almost effortlessly
@@TheGoodChap like jxmy said, either you have it or not. They let the game talk

I'm a forever Suns fan from a very young age. I experienced the ups and the downs, the years of title contention, the decade of being the absolute worst in the NBA, etc. I have to say that this season without a shadow of doubt is the most embarrassing season in Suns history and the hardest pill I've ever had to swallow for my favorite team. We've seen talent traded away or disregarded, undervalued, and poor decisions from management. But to see a very talented, very capable Suns team crumble from their own lack of sheer will power and competitive spirit is the most crushing defeat. I don't think the Suns will recover from this anytime soon and any pride that the organization has in what it means to be a Suns is diminished. No player with a winning spirit will want to don a Suns jersey. I hope I'm wrong but great video regardless. This one was necessary.
the Dirk led mavs lost in the first round after winning 67 games. and a lot of people wrote him and the team off after that. four years later he carried his team to an nba championship. you never know how it will all shake out. there is still time for booker to figure it out. for cp3... I think he just missed his last, best opportunity.

Overreaction at its finest for 1 game result. Suns are still ELITE & have more impressive games than any other team in last 2 seasons. Suns crushed Mavs 3 times and slipped once. 🤷♂️ Cp3 is always injured in playoffs that's why he have not won it all.

The Warriors just have too many weapons. If one of Steph, Klay, or Poole has a bad game, chances are they'll be fine. If Luka has a bad game, it's good night for the Mavs. Brunson and Dinwiddie would have play their butts off and even then, there's no guarantee that they'd win.
Luka had a bad series though, to his standards at least. Pissed me off
no cap, the way you explained this has really made me think, conditions are not always going to be favorable for you to thrive, and if that challenge comes, you need to have the mentality to make it thru, otherwise you will crash faster than went up. MENTALITY IS KEY.

As hard as it is for me to say which of your videos is my favorite, this ranks right up there.
Booker was upset at a mascot for standing behind the basket. Like you say, either you have it or not. I keep watching players hoping one might become Jordanesque and go all out swinging, but somehow that is extremely rare air for most elite players. Seeing Luka do just that made me really happy, and I have no dog in any fight right now, but I enjoyed seeing how much humble pie the Suns had to eat. And watching the Heat implode today just made my week even sweeter.
Imagine if LeBron would have had it lol. I think Luka is gonna become the GOAT. I mean if we are being honest even Jordan said if you ask people in 20 years it'll be LeBron. Just seems to be the way things work. The new players take over the old and so on and so forth. Probably in 100 years they'll be putting LeBron and Jordan outside the top 5 lol.
Luka got that Luffy mentality
There's only one Jordan, one Kobe, one Akeem, one Magic, and one Bird etc....out of thousands.....literally thousands of players over the course of history to ever play the game.
Let that sink in....rare indeed

I'm a hockey fan from Montréal, I don't know much about basketball except that these athletes are incredible to watch on the court. What YOU add to the table is context. Stories will always be the thing that brings me to sports, what led to Crosby's golden goal at Vancouver of all places, the Kawhi trade that brought the infamous buzzer beater against the bucks and the championship or even the Astros cheating scandal! But every good story needs a good storyteller and the NBA can be proud to have you as a fan and a scholar of the game. Somewhere down the line we'll think about Luka, Lebron or Steph careers and highlights of the past and we'll hear your voice.
Thank you.

Pat Bev's explanation on the difference between 2 great players and the cloth they're cut from is perfect. I'm glad you added that clip in and would advise anyone who hasn't seen the full discussion to watch it
luka is so nice that he adopted the entire wolves roster too
The craziest thought to me is that we still get 10-12+ more years of Luka Doncic.
A one in a generational talent is really something to watch. Glad we got 2 right now in Giannis and Luka.
And I can't believe I'm about to see him live in 20 hours :)
The writing and narration in your videos is killer man; excellent work. You really add a lot of good commentary and your stats and comparisons always bring home the points you're making. Your videos always remind me why basketball is my favorite sport
bro jimmy you are #5 on trending. i’ve been subbed for a few years now and just seeing your growth and motivation to your craft is absolutely motivating. thank you for god knows how many hours you’ve put in on them charts lmao
2:08 The laugh, the "oh boy..." is the exact reaction so many of us had to this fiasco.
I dont follow basketball or NBA at all, so it was strange when your videos came on my feed. I watched a few of them and I love how you explain your research and concepts so well that anyone can understand it. I might just take up watching the NBA after watching a few of your videos. Well done and keep up the good work.
"every body acting tough when they up" one of the coldest line
Gonna go down in basketball history
Why Curry says in interviews that hey aren’t done yet
This is by far your best video imo Jimmy. You spoke some serious truth that got me thinking about which type of person am I. It's beyond basketball. The stuff you talked about is some real life shi. Keep it up bro!
This video is just WRONG. Everyone's lambasting CP3 and Booker rn. I get it. It's become a meme and everyone's jumping onto this bandwagon. But yall just seem to forget that CP3 put up a 14-14 perfect performance in the close-out game aginst the Pelicans. Booker was able to score big time and helped the Suns go on a 8-0 run in the bubble play in games.
The last thing I expect is this channel, which shows to be stats based and objective, chooses to ignore the stats aginst his argument and even straight up fabricate them. For the record, CP3 has a 3-4 game 7s record before this series and NOT a 0-7. His performance in the previous game 7s are nothing short of an all star, averaging 20.6 points, 9.9 assists and 5.9 rebounds.
Maybe they were just having an off night, just as what Jimmy EXACTLY suggested in the KD vid.
@@danielr1rj you goofy
@@danielr1rj players whole CAREERS are made in moments like these. No one cares about what you're talking about because no one had the pelicans beating the number one seed. Those bubble games may not have been a fluke, but they've come and gone. Relaying the past isn't going to get you far in the present. The Suns collapsed in a way that shouldn't be possible in that game 7, and when it mattered most, the people's, 'poInT gOd' and "kObE 2.o" didn't show up in anyway. This is the SECOND TIME they've blown leads/couldn't close out the series. All the memes and hate are warranted, especially due to how cocky the Suns acted. L deserved, get better
@@danielr1rj “In a close out game against the Pelicans”
You mean the 8th seed?
I remember your videos going back several years relating to Bird and Celtics. I thought this guy is talented being able to put videos together like he did. This is original content. Well spoken. Thanks to you.
After this, every NBA mascot is gonna yell at Booker "The Luka Special" whenever he attempts a free throw.
How can a Jxmy video be a beautiful piece of art, an amazing cinematic production, an elaborate sports analyses, and at the same time be a motivation video! You never cease to impress me Jxmy!!
You got that a little backwards I think you mean he never ceases to impress you or that he never manages to disappoint you. Your wording means he always disappoints you which I don't think you mean.
these videos never cease to make my day… whatever youtube video i’m watching when i get the notification that jimmy uploads gets sent to the back seat. easily the best, in depth, entertaining basketball content on youtube
@scale bro what
Luka is the definition of “He got that DAWG in ‘em”
"every body acting tough when they up" one of the coldest line
Similar to mj's line everybody's bringing up.The meaning is also similar to giannis line "dont call me mvp..." So the real deal is : its not over (game, series, seazon, career etc) till its over. Just like kobe's line : job's not done. Wich is the exact opposite of what most do. Luka didnt get mj mentality in one game giannis didnt turn in who he is in one night mj him self didnt do it in one night or a year. Hard work, trying again and again to improve alot of time and of course talent. Nothing magic about being the greatest. Only determination motivation skills effort and time. Wich most dont understand or have.
I want that in a shirt...
Facts bro
DeAndre Ayton over me?!
I thought it was corny when he said it but he backed it up with his play
