Never thought I would see another player as good in all facets of the game as Bird. Can this guy get better? He does all the work away from the ball other players won't do. Watch him instead of the ball.
He's doing exactly what MVP Harden should have done in Texas 😂 difference is Luka has every type of offence, layup, midrange, post and fadeaway, not just stepbacks ruclips.net/user/shortsY7yba_hUFVQ?feature=share
@@MichaelC_22 your right but he still able to get to the paint because you can’t speed him up or slow him down he goes at his own pace the whole time. Also not as good of a defender but he’s getting better
This is how I remember Kawhi played during the playoff run with the Raptors. He played at his own pace and seems pressure was not getting into him. Just like Kawhi, Luka is playing like a master of the game.
@@shaunakkulkarni4679 and Luka is a master of playmaking and running the offence which Kawhi cannot do. In modern NBA, offence is more important than defence. I'd take Luka over Kawhi any day to start a franchise. Kawhi cannot drag a team alone and has always played with other great players.
@@notreubensandwich kawahi can’t drag a team alone?? He won a ring with the raps as the best player and most influential player on the team. He obviously had some help as it was a championship level team but you can’t say he hasn’t done anything. Luka on the other hand has to rely on his team to carry defensively. They are both great but kawhi has proven that he is rock solid on both ends of the court.
@@shaunakkulkarni4679 lol Kawhi had a loaded roster in Raptors. Hence the who point he can’t carry a team alone. KD winning with GSW as the “best” player doesn’t make it a carry job. Kawhi was the best player on a great roster while Luka doesn’t have a single all star. Also Luka is a decent defender since last season. He gets hunted cause the opposition wanna make him tired and to create mismatch. Luka hunted Lebron, Giannis, Ayton and DESTROYED them and of them great defenders. Kawhi can with this year Mavs would barely make the playoffs.
*ABCD....* With all due respect to the great Dirk, Luka is already a better player than Dirk ever was and he has more of a scoring arsenal than Dirk too so whatever more practice Luka needs would go towards becoming a top 5 all-time player, not towards surpassing Dirk's ability because he already has. Now it's just a matter of longevity in terms of surpassing Dirk on the all-time list.
@@SadBheeseChurger luka is already having better early years than dirk. And just cause dirk got one lil stanky ring don’t mean anything 😭. I guess jordan poole is better than ja morant from ur argument.
@@chumoneyy1170 stanky ring you're a casual lmao. And to use the ring argument and use JP as an example is just lazy argument. Dirk >>>>>>>>>>> JP even without the ring. Back to your stanky ring take, Dirk beat kobe's lakers, Portland with Young Dame, OKC's young core with KD russ and Harden, then beat the Lebron and wade led miami heat. That's a legendary ring. So please sit down.
Im a type of player that will used speed to take advantage the defender but when i see luka my perspective has changed you don’t have to be fast to be a unstoppable. High iq luka
He uses his defenders quickness against them by baiting them into shuffling their feet and then he pivots the other way. His main move is the fadeaway jumper with counter move as a step through. He doesn't really get tired either cause these moves are energy efficient (doesn't need to jump high or be explosive/quick). It looks so casual and effortless.
His fundamentals are spectacular. Confidence through the roof. What gets me is his high basketball IQ at the age of 23. Giving him 7 games is too much time
Sorry (genuine question): people are saying future GOAT, meaning he will be the “Greatest Of All-Time” …I hope you didn’t mean that, I am the #1 Luka’s fan, watching him since he was 15 and I could agree with “he will be an MVP one day and the best player in the league on a given moment”… Words matter
Luka is the hardest player in NBA to guard and we're watching the play of one of the Greatest Players to come into the NBA in some time.. He has a Magic Johnson Smile while killing even Star players at same time..
Luka comes with a bright bundle - Game Passion, Matureness, Basket fundamentals - impossible to stop hip, hope to see Dallas adding additional players such as steven Adam that can be a huge match
Luka Doncic will have bright future ahead of him. Before he leave he leave the game of basketball he win one or two rings. He also will be in the HOF too.
what a cinderella finish for the mavs. .kidd had found a way to beat the suns. . now the mavs big 3- luka, spence and brunson- has emerged. .in the wcf we expect a lot of sniping from both teams warriors and mavs. .whoever snipes better will become the winner. .luka and mavs in game 6. .
Supremely skilled and confident. Reminds me of a guy who played a little over 30 years ago. They're all shook, because they know, like the other guy before him, no one can stop him in isolation. It's too easy for him.
Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic brought a different approach of the game to the NBA. Regardless of being guard, forward or center, each and every player must develop a tactical awareness of the match. These two mastered this skill in their early twenties, and it's paying off. So excited to watch them play in the next seasons.
because they have their own slow pace motion, and plus both of them are built through basics, you can tell both of them are using their opponents' pace vs theirs that's why I like them both
I think Klay and Green will switch it up when defending Luka. We need Brunson and Dinwiddie to ball out again. They can use Kleiber for pick and pop for some unexpected scoring. It's gonna ba shoot out in WCF
@@mycabbages3538 Yup. The warriors are far more dangerous than the jazz and suns. This series will be a test for the Mavs especially for Luka. I'm pretty sure he will still get his numbers but it's gonna be hard. Brunson and Dinwiddie really need to ball out of this world for the Mavs to reach the finals.
@@Jedbarbz I believe they can beat GS if the 3 and D guys keep it up. But if they lose, this season is still a win! We shouldn’t be here. I’m dreaming about how good we’d be with a legit second all star.
@@mycabbages3538 They can pull off an upset. As long as they make Steph work for his shots, Don't let Klay heat up and They shouldn't sleep on Poole. The other guys can score for all I care, just don't let those 3 go crazy.
I still don't understand why Phoenix was so content with switching their bigs onto Luka ESPECIALLY since he's in iso a lot of the time. Like do u want him to score or facilitate any easier??
Luka is the perfect example of tempo and timing with variations. He isn’t the fastest or strongest dude, but he can shoot and you can’t read his tempo. Sometimes he looks almost in slow motion but, pay attention, it’s his movement and how he goes quick to slow and back to quick.
Im actually unsure about that he isnt one of the strongest dudes out there. He moves people! He backed down Ayton multiple times and you can definitely see him backpedal a bit everytime he gets hit on the solar plexus
I'm not a massive basketball fan, but even I can tell that Doncic was cooking Ayton, Johnson and Bridges. Bridges especially was getting destroyed by screens he looked like a inflatable tube man the way he was flopping around those screens lol. Ayton was too slow and Doncic had the audacity to hit circus fadeaway shots from all around the court. This guy was really laughing at the Suns defence midway through the games bruhhhhhh. Forget "luka special" as trash talk, Doncic was smiling like a little kid, mocking the Suns players whilst hitting shot after shot I've never seen anything like it.
People are gonna compare him to Dirk because they play on same team and being born out of U.S. but luka stands on his own ground. Hes in his early 20's. He was just drafted 4 years ago? Love the way hes heading.
This is straight up humiliation, Luka took every Suns defender to the hell, Cam Johnson might have nightmares for the entire summer.
For real. I’d be charging up Monty Williams for making me guard him.
I'd retire right after that
Luka in the Suns series:
- More points than Booker
- More rebounds than Ayton
- More assists than CP
- More steals than Mikal
He owns the suns 😂🤦🏽♂️
But other than that he wasn't good haha
Never thought I would see another player as good in all facets of the game as Bird. Can this guy get better? He does all the work away from the ball other players won't do. Watch him instead of the ball.
@@Deondre_Clark In your universe there also must be 10 feet tall blue giants running around chasing big cows?
@@Deondre_Clark haha what else does he have to do? He beat the 1st seed when ppl thought they'd lose in 5 dumbass
Luka really is something else, absolutely love the way he plays.

Another signature moment for Luka, The Luka Special.
His vision, awareness and competitive mindset are off-charts…
I agree. All three of these components remind me of MJ at his prime. I think the only thing that he is missing is the off the charts athleticism.
@@MichaelC_22 your right but he still able to get to the paint because you can’t speed him up or slow him down he goes at his own pace the whole time. Also not as good of a defender but he’s getting better
@@MichaelC_22 he may not have athletiscm like him but mj ddnt have the playmaking and 3point shooting of Luka either 🤣 so it's a tie
@@MichaelC_22 MJ is great but Lebron is greater.
To me he's the cleanest looking player in the league. His play makes almost everyone else look sloppy
Luka cooked them up with IQ and fundamentals 🔥
This is how I remember Kawhi played during the playoff run with the Raptors. He played at his own pace and seems pressure was not getting into him. Just like Kawhi, Luka is playing like a master of the game.
Some years there’s just a special player on a mission
Only difference is kawahi is a master on defense too.

how can anyone watch this and not be convinced that this man is the next NBA All-Time great. This shit is better than most players CAREER highlights

Luka's got that killer instinct. Watch out NBA, this man is about to take over the league.
I'm going to say this, Luka will be on the GOAT debate in the future.
I dont even think its a hot take at this point hes probably a top 5 player in the league from here on out
Maybe if he plays some D
A performance for the ages. He will be living in their heads rent free for the rest of their careers.
Im a type of player that will used speed to take advantage the defender but when i see luka my perspective has changed you don’t have to be fast to be a unstoppable. High iq luka

He plays basketball like a boxer or mma fighter lots of feints and a very high IQ understanding of timing and rhythm
We are witnessing greatness from Luka

His fundamentals are spectacular. Confidence through the roof. What gets me is his high basketball IQ at the age of 23. Giving him 7 games is too much time
This man definitely has the potential to be the next big thing in the NBA. I hope he plays with the same intensity and mindset versus the warriors
He already IS the next big thing. He has the potential to be the goat.
Bruh he already is the next big thing…
@@4leafclover202 not yet! He still has a lot to prove. This only his 4th or 5th year. Let’s see what happens this season

The LUKA SPECIAL for Devin Booker HAHA
LeBron I believe this kid is ready for you to pass the torch, it will be in good hands sir
Luka literally outplay the Suns in this series!
That Luka special 🤣💀
Those were the real ones LMFAOOO
Luka gave them that 360 no scope 3 point shot. When he busts that out you done.
Luka has that kobe/larry/mj straight killer instinct.
Luka Doncic the only player that can rebound, assists AND block shots while sitting on the ground… 🤣
Patrick Beverly doesn´t like this comment 🤣
To Mark Cuban and the Mavs org, do not let this kid walk. You have a future all time great here.
I think he likes it in Dallas, if he does become an all time great he will def stay in Dallas

holy that fall was scary...you can be the best but accidents can end it for you...
THAT LUKA IS SPECIAL
He came into the league so polished its amazing to see him get better almost every season
Mavs defense is solid and GSW cannot sleep on 1st half like usual if they want to beat the mavs
I think golden state won’t be able to stop luka and the chemistry along with how good everyone is playing could will us to a w
That last shot, even the Phoenix fans couldn’t help but be in awe
I can watch this all days long
Luka Legend.
And we thought every win in the first 6 games were a blowout…🤣
