How Luka Doncic Makes Opposing Defenses Look Clueless
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 дек 2022
- Luka Doncic has started the season on fire despite the Dallas Mavericks struggling early on, currently leading the NBA in scoring while continuing to display some amazing passing.
Luka is frequently being mentioned in MVP discussions, and rightfully so. Luka Doncic plays in such a way that oftentimes makes opposing defenses looks clueless when they're playing the Mavericks, and it's due to the incredible understanding and manipulation abilities that Luka Doncic possesses.
With Luka Doncic at the helm, the sky is the limit for the Dallas Mavericks.

Where does Luka rank in the MVP race right now? 👇
first
First
Third
@@rlking5248 He'd be third if there were 2 more Doncic clones playing maybe
In my book first, NBA HEARTS 2nd
It feels like luka always makes the right read and sometimes makes a pass you don’t even see until you watch the play over 10 or more times😭
Fr 😭
Ngl I won't even see that Javale pass happening here if I haven't seen the play before this vid lmao
As a mavs fan it is honestly still insane how much he impresses me every game I watch and I’ve only missed one game this season 😂
- His game is predicated strictly on skill. Most greats use speed/athleticism -- and then skill. Luka is incredible.
Bird & Tim Duncan also come to mind. Luka's "only" slight is his ball dominance. But he's what, 23 yo? HolyMoly. Maybe DAL finds a better 2nd star and/or Luka utilizes some off-ball Curry movement.
Same
Stg man, I'm still surprised every single time some of those ridiculous shots go in and I don't think I'll get used to it either lmfao
I know its still pretty early in his career but i wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up a top 10 player of all time
Top 5 if he improves his defense . Not asking for an elite defense just an above average defender . He is an improving defender ,this season he has taken a huge leap . P.s :- last game 3 blocks + 1 steal .
@@nobudget2547 fs
I agree.
@@nobudget2547 he's constantly at top 5 in steals this season, and a great rebounder. so i say he's above average already.
@@metalsadman debatable, but he’s not terrible, which is all that matters for rn
Alex is going to take over the NBA RUclips game very soon with this quality of content. Thank you for teaching us new things every video, and keep up the grind brother!
YOOOOO DFLOW WHATS GOOD!
Appreciate you man, love your stuff!
watching luka play is amazing, he literally dismantles defenses, he is able to do legit whatever he wants, watching him play is like watching someone play against 5 year olds with the way that he dismantles defenses
Hes really just playing with everyone. Even his teammates arent ready for those passes sometimes. Hes a 6'7'' chess master out there. Its starting to feel like he alongside Jokic are gonna end up changing the game almost like Steph in the long run.
Also this is one of the best explanations of his game Ive seen! Love the frame by frame breakdown. Amazing work dude.
Luka can easily get 15 assists per game if his teammates were connecting
Luka’s scoring compliments his passing so well. He could take 5 random guys from the G league and make them look amazing because of his playmaking.
Luka's ability to effortlessly push dudes around without getting the offensive foul is pretty impressive. He gets them close, and just shoves the shit out of them, without it looking like it took much effort. I am a 5'9 dude who weighs 210 in shape. I did the same thing back in the day. Literally knock a dude off his feet without trying too hard. Big boi physics. It's all about the presentation.
yeah thathighlight from last year against the suns showcased it. he did a cross and shoved with the off arm before the step back 3 dude slid across the floor and no one thought it was an offensive foul XD
Luka really is the evolution of heliocentric players we've seen. An offense to himself. His scoring reminds me so much of Paul Pierce and Melo in the sense that he knows how and isn't scared to use physicality in conjunction with his immense skill to just get whatever shot he wants off, whatever the situation. Thankful we get to exist the same time as this man damn
He just makes it look SOOOO easy. I hope he moves into skills coaching one day. Hopefully many, many years in the future because I love watching him play.
That fact that no part of his game relies on speed and burst is like the number one reason why I think he's got 15 more years in the league if he stays healthy. 38 year old Luka will still be able to do these things, it's pure skill and ball IQ
@@Matfridt It also means that he will kepp getting better even after his athletic prime because of experience.
@@matissedemetsenaere1383 I know. There's so much to like about the way he's progressing, I'm super excited. Only thing that can ruin this is the Mavs front office or J Kidd
Bottom line, you can't stop Luka. I love he slows the game down to his pace. Awesome.
Haters cannot question Luka's offense so that resort to defense. Now when he is improving his defense ,they are looking clueless . Last game he had 3 blocks + 1 steals . Averaging 2 steals per game and look at his defense. 😍
One of the biggest defensive improvements I’ve ever seen
@@ExiledGenes ehh Brook Lopez is prob the biggest for me. His improvement from just offense to an outstanding 2 way stretch 5 big is insane. His interior D is the selling point when pairing that with his shooting
Average 2 steals a game doesn't mean u excel at play defense....look at Andre Drummond
@@theretrosavage you're expecting him to be a lock down defender? You can't be an offensive and defensive juggernaut at the same time.
@@mobilelegendsaccount3275 Jordan did it pretty well
Feel like this video explains why Luka is so good better than any I've seen so far. Breaking down his look fakes really drives home what level this guy is operating at. Especially to give those kind of fakes while being pressured by a double team trap, of which you showed at least two. 9/10 times you're making the easy pass when pressured, and Luka manipulates this expectation of the defense.
He's a crafty player. One of the smartest players in the league. My no.1 in MVP voting
Awesome analysis thank you
Dallas has mismanaged it’s assets. It gave a way some picks for KP. And they got very little in return. Then let let their second best player go for nothing this summer. Organizations just can’t afford to do this. If they give up an asset, they need to get something in return. It’s the diminishing assets that has hurt this team and hurt Luka. They need to do better. I’m sure as a business man Mark Cuban knows this.
Luka is 23. Josh green(22) and Jaden Hardy(19) are both studs, and ascending. Christian Wood(26) has been playing improved defense and that should earn him more minutes. On 35 minutes a night he is easily a 20 ppg guy. THJ seems to have caught fire the last 4 games and if he could keep that up he could be a really great piece. And dinwiddie is often said to be the second best player. They are a center away from being a perennial championship contender. I would say they have mismanaged their contracts and players to a certain degree, but they've also had a little luck too.
Myles Turner wants to come home. Idk how they can make cap room for him, but I'm certain they can figure something out this next off-season. If that happens, they are scary.
he back up to 36% from 3 and the mavs are 4th right now. you were spot on
you should mention his defense is actually a little amped up this season, he seems to be making more on ball plays at the rym, and still pretty good at getting into the passing lanes at the right time
exactly might not be elite but he doesn't have to. imo avg/above is great enough effort for him when he's putting up almost 30+ 7+ 7+ a night.
@@metalsadman yeah i always defended his bad defense by saying hes just saving energy for the other side where hes touching the ball 90% of the time, but it just aint bad anymore!!
He used to be a liability on defense, but last season and especially this season, that's just no longer the case. Not only is he not a liability anymore, he's actually an above average defender, which is crazy considering he's the best offensive player in the league at the same time 😂
Favorite player ever ❤
Nice content broo... Luukaa Maaaaa booooy....warm regards from the sunny Adriatic coast of Portorose Slovenia...the best city for livinggggg....
good one
One would say role players wrestle over opportunity to play with Luka and have such open looks.
Jae Crowder would be a fantastic addition to this team
That would be a seriously funny scenario, as I absolutely HATE IT Crowder, but I'd still take him on the Mavs in a heartbeat
James Harden also like that more accurate on step back 3s
In nba 2k. Which position do you place luka? A pg? Sg? Or sf?
He bounces defenders out of the way and you can’t hardly block him cuz he’s too wide to reach across.
His hype is definetly LeBronesque, love him since he came to the league (watching most mavs games for the last 3 years despite living in Europe) I love him, hope he will Retire his Shirt next to Dirk's with a Chip or Two.
Man this guy could create a Dynasty if the puzzle gets completed. He has probably no Ceiling and could drop 50 in all Finals Games to Seal it. I know its biased AF but the Sensations Luka creates sometimes is already Legendary and simply Magic.
Who else in the NBA does all that every single night?
He's not even in his prime yet.
If his teammates could make their shots Mavs would be top 5 and Luka is the UNDISPUTED MVP
Luka is #1 in the MVP race.
Explain how all I see is luka taking Ls against poor teams this season
@@reallybruh3921 the video addresses this
@@reallybruh3921 It's a team game jesus christ!
This season is the best offensive master in NBA .Frome the eye test to checking his stat.Luka is much,much better in defense.Luka MVP💯
Sadly not with that record. If Dallas somehow can get back to 50+ wins and a Top 4 (maybe 5 is enough) seed, then he is the clear cut favorite.
@@user-fs3og2lz4i this s fake
Luka's team mate should be consistent specially with an open throw from behind the arc.....there defense are now improving...
I really hope Mavericks will spend the money and surround him with quality players. I’d be such a waste if he doesn’t win a ring.
What team is AlexHoops a fan of?
OKC
@@AlexHoops thanks for the reply 😬
@@AlexHoops no fuc*ing way. This explains the Poku vid
Harden getting 18 potential assist speaks to his greatness as a facilitator better than luka
By only 0.2. But Harden ain't on the floor.
Gobert should have went to Dallas. He will be more effective with Luka. They need a good rebounder and shotblocker. That's the missing piece to contend deep in the playoffs. But they have no assets to trade for him. Poor Mavs!
Nah, Dallas mostly doesnt play drop coverage. Thats why McGee is so awfull. He is ok (not elite like Gobert) in drop, but not in hedge or switch systems. Hence why Powell, even as a bad rim protector and rebounder, works well in the starting lineup. He has a good lateral quickness and completely knows when he has to do what. In the Dallas system rotations are crutial. And Drop bigs like Gobert are just not good at that.
RW III, Adebayo... those are ideal Bigs to play in our System. But they are just so hard to find.
@@Smido83 hmmm... I am a Draymond fan for his on ball activities. You think, he would fit well with Luka?
@@wesuffermost Defensively? Sure! On offense, not sure. But on paper it should fit, cause he could take over the 2ndary playmaking and we could bring Dinwiddie off the Bench.
But he wants a big extension... and he doesnt really fit Lukas timeline. On a short contract he would be a really good option.
Too bad no one else is good. We are 10th in standings!!!!!
Luka the best point guard on the planet 🔥💪
Except for Anunoby, who has him in his pocket... :)
Last 4 games against the Raptors, Luka averaged 32/10/9 on 56% shooting. *Nobody can guard Luka!*
@@imdbtruth Ahh fair enough but last game though, held to 24 pts, with 6 of those being ft's is pretty good.
Luka is like LeBron in the sense that basically all he needs is shooters around him to win
It’s like giannis plus harden
its laughable how easy he makes it look
I continually here that he dribbles too much and if he passes, his teammates have no time to create. After looking at multiple videos it is clear that Is BS. They typically have between 10-14 seconds to shoot or create. Plus it is the Mav's style under Kidd to stay on the perimeter and shoot three's. I feel they will start shooting better and those potential assists will become actual assists.
i am kinda scared for the rest of the nba when they start shothing the 3s better.
ud be even more scared if he somehow manages to land in toronto
Another possible reason for his higher % step-back 3s could also be because he shoots those in rhythm or flow opposed to the non-step back ones.
Bruh prime James Harden has been doing these against dynasties and Western power house teams/ super teams. These youtuber creators dont even give praise to who Luka took everything from. Jordan to Kobe is Harden to Luka. Why do y’all think Harden was in MVP convos for several years against tougher competition
James harden has done what luka did to the 1 seed sun's when? He's a freak
Dude is overrated
Troll spotted.
@@eskomoWon not trolling. where's the jewelry?
Tatum better
Lol luka has better stats in every category except blocks. And isn’t far behind in that. Tatum a lot of games isn’t even the C’s best player…if Luka sits, mavs lose to rockets.
Not a warrior fan, so for me Steph is scariest. But Sthep, Giannis and Tatum have better teams at the moment - as additional scare and it is hard to compare. The amount of scoring/creating that Luka is creating makes me think that at the moment he is the best - but we will see his game when he gets more reliable team or when the Dallas shooters are out of the slump. Probably his shooting will drop and his assist will go up. It is crazy to have to play 40 min so that you get a 2 points win.
But amount of gravity when Luka drives in the paint and ability to create open looks for the other, makes him best at the moment on offence for sure.
