I’m aware that I accidentally said Paul George instead of Jamychal Green. I fixed it on the screen if you look. But thanks to the 25 people who let me know tho😂
I’m Real Madrid fan. I was lucky to enjoy Luka live for 2-3 years. He was so special... Unfortunately It was obvious that NBA would be his next challenge. We all in Spain and Real Madrid are proud of our wonder boy.
asaraviag I believe he will go back to Real to finish his professional career. He will dominate the NBA for next 10-15 years and then return to win another Euro league title for Real Madrid and perhaps his national team and retire as the greatest bb player ever. He is Leo Messi of basketball. Just better

His dad was basically never seriously injured and he played 17 years of professional basketball. I dont think Luka will be unless someone deliberately injure him.
@@truthhurts837Where did I say that the NBA was more physical than other leagues? Read this statement again: "he's playing on a bum ankle. I say the kid's tough and can withstand the NBA physicality." Where in that statement did I say that the NBA is more physical than other leagues? Did I say the NBA is more physical than Euroleague, CBA, or FIBA? I said "can withstand the NBA physicality" Did I make the false assumption?
danny rowland Dirk Nowitzki is my fave player of all time so NO, i do not think Euro players are soft. And NO i never thought or assumed Luka can’t play in the NBA, and handle the “physicality” - if anything, he’s proven it- as i mentioned that he’s playing (even dropping triple doubles) on a bum ankle.
People think it's all about just blowing by people. I played with a guard in college who changed speeds so well he always had defenders off balance. It's like a great running back in football. who changes speeds to use his blockers. Luca is like a great running back pausing, changing speeds to create space to score.
Everyone plans and expects screens at the 3-point line. Luka sees, plans and executes a screen in the paint without even his teammate realizing what's going on. 2:36
He has footwork not rushing when driving unlike those athletic, fast players. They're just athletic, long but no footwork that's what separate Jordan, Hakeem and Kobe.
@@iranianintelligenceagency9337 I mean, Hakeem is mentioned there, I'll argue that no one in the NBA have better footwork then Hakeem, I mean his dream shake literally carries the Rockets
The instance of him at 5:10 where he changes speed is good, but he uses that push-cross the instant he knows that kawhii isn't coming from behind to strip him. That's the moment he bursts out the gate, not because of the defender in front.
Well ... doncic is the smartest player I ve seen , since dimitris diamantidis.. In NBA you are used to players that offers a show , that scores many buckets etc But that ain't basketball.. Playing the game and understanding - knowing the game are two different things
he never picks up his dribble and if you watch closely his moves are on the down dribble, most players gather when the ball is coming up on the dribble.
Luka is strong and knows how to use his strength like Barkley to score in the paint. He has a lightening quick cross-over for a guy his size. He's special. He might be the most hybrid of hybrid players now. It doesn't hurt that he can hit outside shots from anywhere with confidence. He'll be a top 10 or top 5 player of all time if he stays healthy.
He’s only 23 and playing like he’s already in his prime. If he isnt in his prime now and there is an extra gear that he can hit, its going to be a scary sight for teams across the league. And the craziest thing about it is that I do believe his game can improve. But i think whats even scarier is that i truly believe that he will be able to sustain this level of production for years to come. Even past his physical prime. His game relies so little on athleticism that it’s not hard to imagine him being a 35 year old veteran still doing crazy numbers as his already elite mechanics, IQ and feel of the game continue to sharpen. Luka to me is truly a one of a kind player. I dont think we’ve ever seen a player dominate with this level of poise and maturity so early on in their career. Usually young superstars have to rely on using their physical strength and explosiveness to make a name for themselves but Luka has essentially created a new blueprint for newcomers.
Because he is not relying on elite athleticism, Luka will have a very long career. Playing like he plays, I could seem him lasting until he is .....say 45 years old.
@Pluck-E Yeah. His BB IQ will be off the charts. He will be a guru on the court. He will be like a god, performing miracles, that no one can understand.
Good as long as it bring emotions like in tje old days great match ups and competitive relvery ok but to see 1 guy dominats with no team acumplishment is like sean Iverson for years . Waith iverson won MVP . I goid that you have fate but you sound like a clown for that type of prediction 45 years . Ah weit a minute you menth 4 to 5 season i got you .
I think the term your looking for is cadence. Bruce Lee talked about cadence of movement in martial arts a lot and I've never seen anyone in basketball utilize this quality so masterfully
I'm surprised nobody in these videos name what's probably Luka's main offensive asset: Footwork. Dude doesn't give any more steps than what's needed for any given move, has an economy of movement than more than compensates for his size and less innate athleticism when compared with other (on paper) much more athletic guys. He's incredible in his fundamentals and that, alongside with his obvious court vision and BBall IQ is where the rest of his offensive game is built upon. None of what's pointed in this video would be possible for him to do if he didn't have the footwork he has.
same being said for chirst paul too. i mean it astounds me that he doesn't appear quick, but can get off many mid rangers and being barely 6' tall. expert timing and change of pace.
It's amazing how much advantage he's getting (in this video) coming off a screen. Baiting is an amazing idea. I call it "magnetizing" a player, so defenders are attracted to him. Once you're a threat the defense gets warped/twisted/destroyed. Good video.
Incredible, peripheral view read and mind/hand coordination. I was really amazed about how he uses pacing effectively very skilled and adaptive. Always wondered how he is the slowest and quickest player on the court.
Love it man so tough it’s so important to have some contact finishes like veer and counter it with the euro or long step evasion-type finishes so you can dance around them when they freeze. Ty!
Changing the pace and force the defense to make a decision is key to basketball and i have to learn to use it better cause i relied many years on my speed cause i was the fastest here around in. This is also the key to play till your 40s if you have a decent shot. I only used it for the hesitation dribble like doncic to catch the wrong foot and to go around the helper. But almost never attacking the rim or seldom at picks.
Great commentary. The script was amazing. How did you learn to analyze the game? Also, as I watched Doncic go through his reads and respond, I got the image of how he and players like him are the equlivalent of football quarterbacks and running backs, floor generals who can finish plays unless the defense gives them a more favorable option.
luka trains/prepares in a manner that accounts for help def and making a read based on lead or help defender; alot of guys spend years working in beating the initial defender/lead defender, but their handle/creation/iq/etc doesnt account for help def or traps... so by the time they start adjusting or trying to adjust its too late and it taks 2-5 yrs to consistently improve decision making vision etc
It's pretty facinating because I'm been looking at the numbers and he's putting up numbers that are super elite. He doesn't (to me) look all that gifter just watching his play, compared to say Jordan which just watching him play you knew he was just different from everyone else. I used to call him cat slick, because his timing was like a cat playing amounds dogs. Luca looks just like one of the dogs, but his results are up there with Jordan, and I would never have though that was possible. Let's see if he can maintain that level for 15 years.
Luca has that Andre Miller skill that kept more athletic and faster players frustrated year after year. It will keep him among the best players for many years.
Helps you can't touch a player above the 3 line. I'm also guessing he's extremely strong for his age much like lebron. Look he he runs through contact especially at the rim. It offsets his athleticism and speed. To be that strong so young is amazing
Something I don’t understand is that if you have to go against someone who doesn’t relax and is Always prepared and playing good defense, how do you prepare. Ik you said at time like 3:30 that you know where you are going and the defender doesn’t so you can use that to be a step ahead but if you aren’t as athletic or explosive, which is pretty much the point I think, shouldn’t the defender be able to catch up.
Luka Dončić unguardable? Ben Simmons will lock Luka up on 9/10, and this season's playoffs showed how guardable Luka is. IMO people confuse high volume and ball dominance with high performance and high potential. Elgin Baylor attempted the most career field goals per game (23.8). Elgin joined the NBA around the age of 24. Luka (already 23 years old) averages 19.7 SPG. Luka was drafted at 19. Luka is ball dominant (needs to be). Luka is the Mav's primary producer, so his PPG chances are higher for now. Luka will slow down with age, and Luka will slow down when he gets help (teammates). When I think of unguardable (at their position), I think of players like Shaq (hack a Shaq was created because of him). But Luka is too unique (and young) for me to count him out, so I'll keep an open mind.
good video, but i think you forget to mention his ability to shoot the ball, i mean his stepback is not like hardens but pretty good also. as a defender you always have to keep that in mind. makes it even harder to guard him.
It’s pretty simple actually. If you leave him open for 3 he makes it so you have to get up close. Being close allows him to fake you out and makes other defenders have to help on defense. When they come w help someone’s wide open and Luka is a willing passer always looking for teammates. He’s a triple threat with the height to get shots off on almost anyone.
Fantastic analysis of what make Luka great! His fundamentals and brain will probably make him a top 10 player of all time when he's done like Bird. You don't necessarily have to have all the athleticism some of these players have to dominate.
I noticed in this video alot of players in the league make alot of mistakes on defense . They don't get low when going over screens , bigs stand straight up when he's attacking down hill and alot of the help comes late . Not beating him to the spots he is trying to get ect.
Yeah...you just noticed that in NBA, apart from playoffs, players do not really defend...we do it muuuuch more in Europe, but I guess in the US it is not encouraged since it would limit a lot spectacularity.
He also doesn't telegraph his moves at all.. I mean his ballhandling is seemless so the defender is left guessing until the very last second on what he plans to do.
Luka is so dominant because of his skill set and experience playing grown men his whole life. His big body also makes him a huge threat from anywhere on the court
Luka has the same reading as cp3, luka is taller, bigger and stronger thats why he excels so much, You can say he is one of the top 3 of the best point guard in the league right now
It helps to be “unguardable” by constantly palming the ball and frequently traveling on step backs - the Harden trick. I admire Luka’s B-ball IQ and competitiveness, but I am getting sick of his constant rule violations and his constant complaining to the refs.
Luka signed contract with one of 3 best teams in Europe.He was awarded with rising star,MVP of Spanish league (a league second only to the NBA),MVP of Europe League,MVP of the Final Four,MVP of the finals,,,,nickname-Wonderboy....and now these things that he is doing at the NBA,,,,he can't be outclassed!He is set to be one of the 5 best players ever in the game of basketball!Only if there are no major injuries.
It actually depends on what you call being athletic. Luka isn't as muscular as a Lebron James, as _"explosive"_ as a Russel Westbrook, as fast as a Kyrie Irving... but he's definitely an athlete.
Hey Vision Driven Basketball- Where do you rank him (in a number category) in the NBA among the Top/Best players in the NBA? Is he in the Top 20, where is your ranking?
@@VisionDrivenBasketball That's crazy, I knew he was good and have seen highlights of him, I even seen Kobe Praise him. That's amazing you put things into perspective on his greatness. thank you. I believe he might be somewhat underated,
Just imagine this - if Clippers didn't take Morris during the free agency chances are Mavs might've blown by the Clippers. Ofcourse they acquired Burke themselves but still, Mavs have 3 injured players and 1 not in the bubble, that's being 4 players short and STILL giving headaches to the favourites to win the whole thing Kinda reminds on the story of Pistol Pete, ofc not that close to the last shot but still 🤔😃

Helps you can't touch a player above the 3 line. I'm also guessing he's extremely strong for his age much like lebron. Look he he runs through contact especially at the rim. It offsets his athleticism and speed. To be that strong so young is amazing
It’s his shooting that gives him the edge to be this good and allows him to be creative o offensive end

Luka has a similar style to Shrempf who played for the Seattle Sonics. Way back in the day
Pleas do a breakdown of D'angelo Russell. He's the most slept on player in the league. And his style of play is actually very similar to Luka.
The big thing is he can handle the ball in traffic
Yup. It's angles, timing, and change of pace/direction. He forces you to commit one way and then counters the other...& he is money either way.
It’s pretty simple actually. If you leave him open for 3 he makes it so you have to get up close. Being close allows him to fake you out and makes other defenders have to help on defense. When they come w help someone’s wide open and Luka is a willing passer always looking for teammates. He’s a triple threat with the height to get shots off on almost anyone.
Fantastic analysis of what make Luka great! His fundamentals and brain will probably make him a top 10 player of all time when he's done like Bird. You don't necessarily have to have all the athleticism some of these players have to dominate.
that was outstanding
.
That gave me more insite.. (Im a fan, not a player) ..than any other video I've watched.
Great work
I noticed in this video alot of players in the league make alot of mistakes on defense . They don't get low when going over screens , bigs stand straight up when he's attacking down hill and alot of the help comes late . Not beating him to the spots he is trying to get ect.
Yeah...you just noticed that in NBA, apart from playoffs, players do not really defend...we do it muuuuch more in Europe, but I guess in the US it is not encouraged since it would limit a lot spectacularity.
I wonder if nba coaches have watched this
Nice breakdown!!!
Thanks bro...I'm the big fans of Luka Doncic😊😊
Excellent analysis.
He plays so efficiently, makes it look easy
He also doesn't telegraph his moves at all.. I mean his ballhandling is seemless so the defender is left guessing until the very last second on what he plans to do.
Top 5 player in the world no cap
no 🧢
Luka is so dominant because of his skill set and experience playing grown men his whole life. His big body also makes him a huge threat from anywhere on the court
Was a very big drazen fan, but now i say he is better at the same age like Petro
Very good breakdown.
Great breakdown. Luka is an incredible talent. Makes me wanna go play 🏀.
Do it, I started playing 4 times a week 6 weeks ago and have never felt better
Luka has the same reading as cp3, luka is taller, bigger and stronger thats why he excels so much,
You can say he is one of the top 3 of the best point guard in the league right now
Well said, well done.
very good analysis
wow dope breakdown man
Nice work.
Agreed, even Two-way players like PG13 and The Klaw can't clamp Luka the boy wonder
Yo thats what Hot Sauce used to do!! Phillip Champion!
Its like watching slow motion but hes making it look easy
Can you do jimmy butler or LaVine
Luka is amazing!
It helps to be “unguardable” by constantly palming the ball and frequently traveling on step backs - the Harden trick. I admire Luka’s B-ball IQ and competitiveness, but I am getting sick of his constant rule violations and his constant complaining to the refs.
He’s an amazing player. It makes me sad to think of what the Suns could’ve been if they had the foresight to draft him.
All he needs now is a decent 2 point Jumpshot and a little defense.
Defense, yeah, I knew something was missing. Heh. A lot of excellent offensive players ignore that. (see Harden and James).
Luka signed contract with one of 3 best teams in Europe.He was awarded with rising star,MVP of Spanish league (a league second only to the NBA),MVP of Europe League,MVP of the Final Four,MVP of the finals,,,,nickname-Wonderboy....and now these things that he is doing at the NBA,,,,he can't be outclassed!He is set to be one of the 5 best players ever in the game of basketball!Only if there are no major injuries.
Cool content !
As a men name luka I’m proud he making us proud
Not to be mean but I think the guy talking meant to say JaMychal Green, not PG.
He is not average athletically. He’s not athletic at all. His court awareness and ability to score is why he is un-guardable.
It actually depends on what you call being athletic. Luka isn't as muscular as a Lebron James, as _"explosive"_ as a Russel Westbrook, as fast as a Kyrie Irving... but he's definitely an athlete.
But this just shows. U really don’t need ridiculous insane athleticism to be a top player.
the whole video is luka just destroying the clips 😭.
nice channel, subscribed
If MJ could walk four steps before shooting......or Bird...or Dr. J, or Wilt.
it looks like pure magic when he starts playing
Great channel
Hey Vision Driven Basketball- Where do you rank him (in a number category) in the NBA among the Top/Best players in the NBA? Is he in the Top 20, where is your ranking?
Ed Norm he’s top 10 easily. Probably top 7.
@@VisionDrivenBasketball That's crazy, I knew he was good and have seen highlights of him, I even seen Kobe Praise him.
That's amazing you put things into perspective on his greatness. thank you. I believe he might be somewhat underated,
Just imagine this - if Clippers didn't take Morris during the free agency chances are Mavs might've blown by the Clippers.
Ofcourse they acquired Burke themselves but still, Mavs have 3 injured players and 1 not in the bubble, that's being 4 players short and STILL giving headaches to the favourites to win the whole thing
Kinda reminds on the story of Pistol Pete, ofc not that close to the last shot but still 🤔😃
VArsovski10 the Mavs going forward have a chance to be really good for a while
God is Good
all the time
amen
what a man, gave me the chillz, saw him shake so many dudes!!! lol i saw that guys!!
