@@nvmehobby look at him now on a trash team wishing he stayed on dallas... so dallas isnt the only ones regretting it... thats his loss the knicks arent winning a title anytime soon the mavs might
@@pumelelabanca1442 I’m a mavericks fan, I watched most the games from Dirks last year and every year Brunson was a Mav.. Brunson float game and touch on his shot greatly improved over his time with the mavericks .. JJ Barea made a living getting into the paint and finishing over bigs with his floater, Dirk was a master on the blocks and had great touch on his shot, Luka kills everyone in the paint in every way possible, Devin Harris was a point guard that had been through everything during his time in the league and was still a good backup point guard late in his career .. Brunson definitely learned from those guys, any player that wants to be great (like Brunson does) would of learned from them
No, he's right. One of the criticisms of the Mavs before Brunson left was that he played too similarly to Luka and that without a variation on pace and style it would be too easy for teams to adjust to them in the playoffs. And you could see it pretty easily. Brunson picked up alot from Luka and the others like JJ and adapted it into his game. Personally I think Brunson could've continued to grow in Dallas and he and Luka could have won a championship together. Sad we didn't get to see it.
@@Sonicmixer85 I think that a reunion between the two will have a higher ceiling than if they had always stayed together. This period for Brunson on the Knicks gave him a lot of freedom to grow as a player. Edit: financially speaking tho it’s much less likely due to the amount of money Brunson is set to earn now.
Game 7 will live forever. “The Luka Special” “Everybody acting tough when they up” And Luka having the same amount of points as the entire Suns team at halftime. Iconic NBA playoff moment
There's a live reaction from a guy in Phoenix who was watching that game... had me in tears. He knew that game was over in the first 5 minutes. His reaction to maxi defending Ayton is some funny shit. Poor suns fan was salty as hell.
Dirk dropping 30 in his last home game will always be one of my favorite moments, seeing him turn back the clock and hit jump shots like he can was just beautiful
Brunson wouldn’t be the player he is now still playing with Luka. It was obvious in playoffs when Luka was injured and Brunson showed out. Brunson has to play the 1, he was playing the 2 with Luka and he’s a totally different player at the 2
Brunson would have cost less and you would have had more draft capital to get more pieces. Plus there wouldn’t be a lingering thought of when is Kyrie going to do some Kyrie stuff.
Why would draft capital matter when we got Dereck Lively, who’s pick we would have missed with Brunson, and also when we don’t need more pieces. Our ‘win now’ roster is complete
Luka looks like like a mix of '09 Kobe (footwork, guile, post moves, killer instinct) and '14 LeBron James (vision, IQ, creating contact and converting And-1s) but with a more crisp dribble package. Straight nasty.
Mavs fucked up betting on Brunson playing out that contract year. After those playoffs, everybody knew he was gone. Secondly, the fact Mavs got him in the second round is fuckin crazy. Dude was an absolute killer at Villanova
Does no one remember the Knicks tampered and offered him more before you were allowed to make an offer and got fined for it? Also his playoff run the year before was undeniably bad. He got played off the court. How does no one remember?
Wow, Jalen being one of the best players in the NBA saying that about Luka is crazy. There’s a lot of great talent from around the world now. America better step it up. This ain’t our game anymore. It’s a world wide thing now.
Really happy to see Jalen at the top of his game in NY. Really deserved, I don't think he would have gotten at the same level had he stayed in Dallas, and now the Mavs seems like they have started to fit together the pieces so everything worked out in the end!
People talking about how good it would be to have Brunson back in Dallas, have no clue that Brunson leads the league in dribbles per touch, seconds per touch and is only 0.2 behind Luka in time of possession. He’s essentially as ball dominant as luka if not more. Dallas does not need a player who is as ball dominant as Luka playing along side him
Pretty sure that’s juiced up even more due Randle and OG being out. Plus a plethora of other rotation players. Brunson can fit with anyone, but it probably wouldn’t have been good for him individually to thrive
@@SkiLLz1986him and Luka play basically the same except that Luka is twice his size. It makes what Brunson does SUPER impressive but yeah idk why you’d want to have both on your team. Losing for nothing still hurts like a mf tho
@@Endless_Satori only reason I brought up injuries is for why Brunson is dominating the ball a lot more than he usually does. He dominates it a lot. But when Randle is excellent catching and shooting off of Randles kicks. Just saying Brunson can and does play well off ball
@@JonathanWoodall brunson can and does play off ball tho when Randle gets his opportunities to run the show and he excels. Idk why you wouldn’t want to have to elite ball handlers especially when at least one of them are great off the catch if needed
Luka literally is the PERFECT Superstar. He’s an alltimer with no ceiling but also Super marketable, Super Popular, relatable personality, shines in big moments, aura, killer mentality, trash talking you name it. he is the Face of the League going into next Season😤💯💯 For those still saying the BS narrative that Luka has no defense. Luka’s actually "GOOD” at defense before the injuries piled up and got too much. If you watch Mavs Ball yk He was playing the best defense of his life this season and in the Clippers/OKC series that guys were 2/17 fg when guarded by Luka. All I can say to all Ignorants out there is that expect a focused and determined Healthy Luka at both defense & offense next season💯😤🫵
I'm glad he got his bag and his own team, but man, such a culture fit for what Dallas is building. Sad to see what we missed out on. the way he talks is just like Lively.
I’m glad that Brunson is where he can finally give Luka his props. Him leaving Dallas was a plus for him. It gave him a chance to be his own man. That’s a sense of maturity.
a NYK fan here, and yes, I am happy we have JB as our franchise. It's not just what he can do on the court, it also how well he works off the court leading our team. He is a total pro. In 2 years i heard nothing but positives about him as a leader.
@@mrvk39 Jalen and his dad decided he was moving to NY. It had little to do with Luka except he would never be #1 on a Luka led team. He’s finally admitted that it was his choice to enhance his career. He let people blame Luka for 2 years for that choice. That’s why I had a problem with him.
@@drdeedeecurtis This is such a weird take... i haven't heard of anyone credible saying JB left because of Luka. Brunson said the opposite of what you claim. Brunson said he wanted to sign with Mavs but Mavs twice refused to give him an extension when he asked. Only after the 2nd rejection, did they start making links to the Knicks.
@@drdeedeecurtis ok,... i will call you out on this - WHO said it? Show me a single article that claimed it? title and name of publication so i can look it up
I love JB and very happy for his success. I think things work out for a reason. If Dallas would have signed him, the basketball world would not get to see his talent the way we see it now. In a way it's similar to what happened with Nash. So, a huge loss for Dallas but in the end it's a win for NBA/basketball. I am also glad to see the mutual respect and friendship between Luka and JB.
I love the new generations of players since 10 years, Jalen, Shaï, Luka, Joker, Wemby, Giannis, etc. they have good mentality, are humble and classy.. ❤
I've always said Luka made Brunson into the player he is today. And that's no shade at all but you can tell he uses a lot of Lukas game now in the nicks and is on fire doing so
Bucks fan, but Brunson is my favorite point guard right now. He's got a fire in his belly that comes through in his play, He just looks like he's fighting for everything, he so scrappy. And the dudes defense is on another level if you ask me. Mad respect for this man on the basketball court.
As a lifelong Knicks fan, Brunson talks about about Luka in such high regard and never talks down about anyone. But I can tell he misses having Luka on his team. Especially once Julius Randle got injured.
Nobody mentions how JB obviously took a lot of Lukas game it's blatantly obvious you can see it easily and it's working for him so good for him, smart competitor.
guy is probably right, dallas drafted luka and brunson in the same draft. went 2 for 2 and came out with one perennial mvp candidate and a long shot mvp candidate. I cant think of another team with a better draft than that one.
I saw how good Brunson was even as a rookie. He was a lot quicker back then. It was always a fresh contrast whenever he comes in and Luka gets subbed out. Luka was always very slow paced and methodical. Then suddenly Brunson comes in and is surpisingly quick and I thought had a great skillset. It was only a matter of time for him to break out as a legitimate star and now he we are. That playoff run meant so much not only for Luka but to Brunson too. Career-defining.
Man said, "I won't say it's the best draft class ever, ya but that dudes a hall a famer then I say yes." He was inspired and motivated and developed his game because he meet young LUKE SKY WALKER....the God Vaders son.
Brunson i thought was the classic overpay in free agency by NYK when they miss out on the big stars worth the max (Lebron, KD, Kawhi, i forget which ones were possibly available at the time) But Brunson is legit a top 10 player in the nba right now. Great leader, great finisher, grinds out the game for your team. Id take him on my team any day for max money now
I just noticed in 1986 the Cavs drafted Brad daughtery, Mark Price, and Ron Harper in the same draft plus had hot rod Williams from the year before playing his first year. 3 made all rookie team with Price being honorable mentioned. 4 rookies in your top Six. Insane. Has to be up there in drafts. They gave Jordan problems for a couple years in the playoffs.
Luka got major compliments from Kobe, Lebron, KD. They all know he is the best young superstar in the league. Levels above Tatum,Edwards, Ja Morant and all the rest who are talked about the next King of the NBA.
Brunsons coming out party was those playoffs luka got hurt and jalen went berserk to get them out of that series...I knew then he was a really good player but I didn't expect to see the knicks version of him.
Maybe, one day Jalen and Luka can team up again. I have to say, that Luka might be suffering a bit from his greatness as an iso player. I heard that many players don't want to be on Luka's team because all he makes them into, is spot up shooter. This is kind of similar to Harden and his criticism. But JB fit in well with Luka. His IQ is off the charts and he was able to carve out his own space to score without messing up Luka's game.
Luca played professional ball at Real Madrid when he was 16.. Imagine US players skipping High School and doing the same at college! He's 3-4 years ahead of most players.
I remember JB the two playoff series before his WCF breakout year. Both clippers series, JB couldn’t stay on the floor, he was terrible. One year later, his 4th year and he was a different player. Went from out of rotation almost to averaging 22 in the playoffs.
Stop woth the cap that luka helped jalen be who he is go back to his college career he was always underrated and winning. All he did was keep doing the same in pros dallas knicks same damn thing win with whomever he plays with
hearing jb say off day 1 he knew luka was him, then hearing jeff teagues story about luka rookie season and him saying "yall gonna let the white boy hold the rock the whole time" and mavs was like " that mf cold bruh" lmaooo
Generational talent alone does not guarantee success at this level. Luka needs to keep working on his game, his maturity, and mental toughness...far too often I still see him whining about a missed foul to the refs instead of getting back on defense, and giving up an easy bucket. The greatest players all have learned to control their emotions
My friend was in the same u15 team with luka in madrid and he told me that luka was gifted and it’s just fun for him. It’s way too easy and it also looked easy but when someone else do it it’s TOv lol
Damn I miss JB in Dallas but I’m glad he’s doing his thing in New York
I’m glad he left tbh. He wouldn’t have had the ball enough to do what he’s doing now. And we got Kyrie, who’s better lol
Yeah. Now he has the space to develop his game, his leadership skills, playmaking. Now we have two all NBA players!
And we got Dereck Lively who would not be here today if Brunson had stayed, we would have made the playoffs

I heard that many players don't want to be on Luka's team because all he makes them into, is spot up shooter. This is kind of similar to Harden and his criticism. But JB fit in well with Luka. His IQ is off the charts and he was able to carve out his own space to score without messing up Luka's game.
character wise JB was the perfect co star for LD...
Have a little bit of hope Irving is starting to understand his role...
Luca played professional ball at Real Madrid when he was 16.. Imagine US players skipping High School and doing the same at college! He's 3-4 years ahead of most players.
I remember JB the two playoff series before his WCF breakout year. Both clippers series, JB couldn’t stay on the floor, he was terrible. One year later, his 4th year and he was a different player. Went from out of rotation almost to averaging 22 in the playoffs.
they do have video luka play pick up in his rookie year, lobbing no look alley oop to teammates it's like all star game
And he’s on 24 rite now!!
Stop woth the cap that luka helped jalen be who he is go back to his college career he was always underrated and winning. All he did was keep doing the same in pros dallas knicks same damn thing win with whomever he plays with
Where have you guys been at ,matt barnes does not work for espn or fox so more of the smoke players 💯
hearing jb say off day 1 he knew luka was him, then hearing jeff teagues story about luka rookie season and him saying "yall gonna let the white boy hold the rock the whole time" and mavs was like " that mf cold bruh" lmaooo
I be forgettin he played w dirk that’s so sick😂
He even played with JJ Redickk
I was so excited when they drafted JB after watching his college career. Sucks they let him go
The best thing to happen to Brunson was Luka.Brunson signed a big and I do mean big contract with the Knicks.
Why is luka the best thing to happen to him ? That's wild
@@danielboone5321Fan boy talk.
Yes Luka being injured.
@danielboone5321 Because when he was playing with Luka,his stats went up, and he was offered the big contract from The Knicks.
is Matt really fired? is this the last episode he'd be appearing?
The show is not relevant anymore tbh
@@BroCoolFire that's not what I'm asking dude.
@@BLAKEEATS1988no cuz ain't this his own show
Generational talent alone does not guarantee success at this level. Luka needs to keep working on his game, his maturity, and mental toughness...far too often I still see him whining about a missed foul to the refs instead of getting back on defense, and giving up an easy bucket. The greatest players all have learned to control their emotions
My friend was in the same u15 team with luka in madrid and he told me that luka was gifted and it’s just fun for him. It’s way too easy and it also looked easy but when someone else do it it’s TOv lol
