Euro ball in the summer unlocked this man's confidence since he had the ball in his hands in most games for Finland unlike when he was on the Bulls and was told to stand in the corner and wait for the pass.
he is not improved, he is always very very good, they just let him show his tools this year in nba, i remembered watching him in 2017 eurobasket, what a talent he was then
@@greatpyrenees559 yeah but this season they are better than the last season. SGA will have more 40 point games Haliburton is currently leading in Assist Bol Bol is basically dark wenbanyama Afernee and Jerami are having the best scoring season Maxey will surely bounce back on his return
I remember the first few games of the jazz season and I immediately knew Lauri was going to be an All-Star! Love the the way Markkanen is playing this year! 🇫🇮 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
that’s the crutch of his game rn. Dribbling and playmaking. Not saying he should be a primary ball handler the way the Jazz use him but if he unlocks his bag there it’s a wrap
@@wenlismanei lauri ole ennen viime kesää ollut näin hyvä ja kyllä sen huomaa että keho on paljon atleettisempi ja räjähtävämpi mitä muutama vuosi sitten. Lauri näytti vielä pari vuotta sitten ajoittain hieman kömpelöltä mutta nyt paljon vikkelämpi ja hallitsee kehonsa paremmin
jazz need to make him the center of the offense. He's their best most consistent offensive but sometimes only take 8 or 12 shots a game. needs to consistently take 17-20.
@@bigballsdance2426 yeah, kind of True. He can, if he gets the damn ball. And there are nights that "he can't" and that's because of JC who is worst ball hog of the NBA and LM can't find the rhytm because of low amount of touches.
@@surrotten3354 1. Tough means it will be hard 2. His position isnt stacked in the west he might get in if the jazz have a good record, he averages like 23 8 3 on unanimous mvp Curry true shooting%
His jumper is super smooth lookin and i like how his bag so deep, he can pull mid ranges ease, dunk hell out of that ball, drive basket like giannis(not quite like giannis xd) he can shoot 3s. And he is elite all those things i mentioned.
I’ve been saying this since he was with the bulls that he was going to be a beast and to think the bulls traded him for a player borderline out the league. The bulls also have been needing a pf since trading him. I’m happy for him
I have seen many Jazz games this season, and this was the first in which I saw Markkanen used in offence by his true potential. Even Clarkson showed team spirit and passed to him and didn't want to keep the ball and pass it to his grandchildren. This looked like Finland in Euro tournament last summer: pass to Markkanen and let the counter roll.
stop playing 💀 i love Markkanen but this? He's really good but he aint no MJ. Im Finnish and im saying this, cause he aint better than AD, Giannis, KD, curry, Luka, or all those other MVP candidates. Hes the MIP and probably an all-star, but this kinda just too much
@@zainalmuttaqin1196 yup, Tatum currently on another lvl, Tatum's goal is MVP and Markkanen's goal is All Star/MIP. Markkanen probably will always be the 2nd best player of the team (even if now during building he is 1st) because of not being a ballhog but a teamplayer. Talking about him being one hit wonder kind of dumb though when you look at his stats this season: PPG 22.8 FG% 53.5%
@@BallOfSteel Could you imagine if Lauri took as many shots as Donovan Mitchell did on those teams? Part of it also is that Jordan Clarkson has never seen a shot in his life he wont take so sometimes Laurie doesnt get the ball. Clarkson and Beasely and somewhat Sexton are gonna eat up a bunch of shots. Sometimes that works well but Clarkson and Beasely in particular when they are "off" it mucks things up. I feel like one of those 2 has to get traded.
He scored 38 PTS against Suns as well - with over 80% FG% and 25% USG%. Only 2 3PMs in that game. The last time any Jazz player has scored at least 38 PTS with over 80% FG% was Malone in 1998.
He was gonna have a break out season in his season 3 if the old FO did not think Jim Egghead was a real deal. He used Hoibergs sets in Lauris career month and before that for a while. Then came off-season and things were fucked... I mean how dumb. OFC Lauri has now a bit better footwork and handles he had back then.
you shouldn’t be butthurt that your team could not properly manage a 7 footer with an unguardable jump shot. nobody gives af about that pressure, bulls are utterly a poverty franchise if it weren’t with getting blessed by the goat. i just couldn’t imagine being a bulls fan talking crap right now, go watch your team and sob into a playin spot clown
uh no, its because the Bulls had an actual crazy person be their coach for a while. Jim Boylen was a man who might as well have been a method actor playing a role of what he thought a basketball coach would be like. Dude was an absolute goof trooper who ruined everything he touched in that organization. He was like some wannabe Bobby Knight hardass and it didnt fly at all.
Euro ball in the summer unlocked this man's confidence since he had the ball in his hands in most games for Finland unlike when he was on the Bulls and was told to stand in the corner and wait for the pass.
Lauri has always been balling for national team. He always had the tools but never had the chance to show it
@@radiorakim facts thankfully this team knows he’s not a rebounding big and let’s him actually use his unicorn skill set

Agreed👍
No totta perkeleessä
Dude has it all. Potential been there from year 1! I’m rooting for 40+ game soon from Lauri.
Man Lauri is just to good, all star voting just opened up, and he for sure should be one

Awesome to see a Finn balling out🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

The little dribble moves he’s implementing in his game is a scary sign .
In a bad or good way
@@DavidGonzalez-zm8hr definitely a good way !

His bag got deep, out there looking like white KD
He's completely transformed and evolved. Whole new body form, confidence, his bag is different too... Sheesh.
Nope, he has played like this for our national team since 2017. Man was finally given a proper opportunity.

Seeing him do this live broke my heart as a pistons fan😭😭😭 love mark tho he a bucket and mip for sure💯🔥
Jealous you got to see this live, bro is spectacular
Lauri deserve to be an all star this year
Lauri Legend 🔥
Good game for this young fella
Lauri the marksman 🎯
My boy going to be all star this year 💯💯 MIP for sure.
Kullilutka 🤣
check out my newest video on the greatest 'mid' teams in NBA history!!
Makes you wonder how bad the coaching staff were at his previous team to not utilise him properly.
I Been F'n With This Guy since the Bulls
Me too.. been ridin' him a lot. #69
MIP for sure.
After his euro league run this summer hes on mvp level
We living in the modern Wilt-Russell era bro. 1950's colorized. 30ppg is the new 20ppg.
He's loving Utah
Me too ❤️
He would’ve loved The Bay more
Wish the cavs could have kept him… guy is a baller…
Lauri Legend
He's got the looks, the flair, the last name, the hair, everything. A modern day Apollo.
Lauri for MIP
I vote for him for the All-Star Game. Lillard - SGA - Markkanen - Zion - Jokic
All Star ☆
Arms are muscular as hell now
Markkanen for All-star game! 👏🎷🇫🇮🏀
All-Star
Larry Legend
looking like young Dirk out there.
Thanks for posting.
It's about Time! Lauri went to a team that would unleash him and not hold him back.
Dude looks like Drago from Rocky
All Star
He played pretty good in a supper 🌟 level..
Mavs should of paired this guy with Luka
He’d just be standing in the corner so no thanks!
I’ve been saying this since he was with the bulls that he was going to be a beast and to think the bulls traded him for a player borderline out the league. The bulls also have been needing a pf since trading him. I’m happy for him
Lauri wanted to leave, the bulls had no choice.

Finland 🇫🇮 💯
And this why he deserve that All-star spot, can't believe Bulls didn't believe in this guy
Allstar
Bogdanovic must be having flashbacks from Eurobasket and WC qualifiers
He's like the Buff Nowitski
this guy so good kimi raikonen sibling eh eh
U of A fans know this man has been nice 🔥🔥
Bulls fans punching the air everytime
The new Dirk Nowitski. 🎯 with a little handles.
He is getting my All Star vote. What about yours?
If he doesnt get MIP then change the award’s name
ALLSTAR
0:42 Bagley. Come on dude.
AS⭐️
The Bulls never should have gotten rid of him
I hope Nike make at Lauri Markkanen "Finnisher" 3 points special edition shoes. He really deserve those.
More than half of his 3point shots made were wet.
I hope Utah starts Vanderbilt consistently. He is all good two way player.
Bangg!
Basically giannis with a shot
He needs a Nike shoe deal. I'd buy those.
The finnish brute!!
The next real goat alone with wemby and curry
If hes traded that team automatically becomes title favorites imo

Too bad Scandinavians play handball...A lot of handball could be good basketball players.
They should pair him with Luka and Jokic, white boy league takeover
Lauri is a top 10 player in the nba
1. Lebron
2. KD
3. AD
4. Jokic
5. Yannis
6. Luka
7. Spida
8. Kawhi
9. LAURI
10. Tatum
Lebron at 1 and Giannis and Luka at 5 and 6 💀💀💀
What the fuck is this list
Curry not even on the list ya you're on some smoke fam
Worst list ever
You're a true prisoner of the moment 😂😂😂
Who the ****** is Lauri Markkanen?
Someone more famous than you silly little incel
@@Yt-mr2ji one hit wonder. everybody already forgot about him already.
Can't believe the Pistons brought back the ugliest logo and uni's in NBA history. The horse, the teal..it's all god awful.

Pure art, beautiful play. Lauri Bird is hot.
So nice for him to be doing this for the Jazz while he was garbage for the Bulls. Clearly he couldn't handle the pressure playing in Chicago.
uhh his first year he was almost rookie of the year, then they thought Lavine should be the star, clearly bulls have been trash and still trash
He was never garbage, he wasn’t given the spotlight like he is with Utah.
clearly you're a casual viewer. so stop watching and go back to when it's already game 4 of the NBA finals🤣
