People see how good he is, but the possibility of him being better than their goats scares the hell out of them. That's why they don't give him credit...
Man anyone who’s unbiased knows Luka is the most skilled player in the league and once he finally wins championship and finals MVP he will finally be the best in the league. However you can’t have no championships, no MVPs and be in the Jordan conversation. Seeing how many all NBA teams he’s been on already though it’s obviously just a matter of time before he’s on Mount Rushmore. I’m willing to bet he gets more championships than lebron.
I live in Dallas and have seen him play in person over 50 times. The thing about Luka is his game is replicatable and sustainable over an entire 82 game season and playoffs because he’s precisely not athletic enough to abuse his body. The fact he isn’t athletic as other guys actually is an advantage for him because his game has to be slower and more precise. The other thing about him is his consistency. Even his bad games are good games in one way or another and that’s what really differentiates him above everybody else.
I believe he IS that athletic, but his otherworldly fundamentals keep him exactly where he needs to be, and he doesn't NEED to/ it would possibly be WORSE if he went at the same pace as everyone, which is why he is so unguardable, nobody is used to his timing, and he changes it throughout the game so you never CAN get used to it. I totally agree with you that his game style is smart, and is probably preserving his body way better than most PGs, but I think the athleticism combined with his play reading ability make him incredibly uncomfortable to guard
Luka is efing huge. There is nothing you can do against him. I'm huge too, and I'm still blitzing my local league at 42. he is just too good, too big and too strong.
@@handsome.idiot84 oh yeah for sure but I think he really does lack that next level athleticism, it’s just not his game either and I think it really goes to show that basketball is more skill-based than athleticism-based as a sport, especially over time. And agreed yes his fundamentals are basically perfect so he just doesn’t have wasted motion and his ability to use his size too makes him insanely unguardable on top his shiftiness
Lula is athletic af, he just can't jump high, he can shoot where he wants, get open when he wants, has a handle and moves. Players have no idea what he's gonna do. Just cuz he not jumping crazy doesn't make him not athletic man lol
Luka isnt unathletic. He is very athletic! He just does not jump out of the building, but he is extremely shifty and can physically dominate every player fast enough to stay with him with superior strengh. There is more to athleticism then being ripped like Giannis!
Right he kept his feet on the ground. When you jump you lose control of the direction you can take. You have to be quick and smart to do the things he does. You have no leverage to push the defender around.
Exactly, his brakes are the best in the league. Thats elite athleticism for being 6’8 250. And we saw Ant Man , who is the traditional “athletic” player at 22 yrs old and he was needing oxygen because he was so tired. Luka should be tired, he has played nonstop for 10 years because he never takes the summers off in Europe. Hes an elite athlete
@@theetruth8626dude, nobody cares. Fact is he’s on the couch again watching just like you and me. You can’t deny he’s dominating due to being a physical specimen, just like Shaq, like Wilt. It overcorrects for lack of skill. There’s a reason Giannis isn’t known for shooting or passing or dribbling. That’s fine, he’s got the tools and the ability to do things nobody else can. Simply because he can overpower. That’s a pretty good skill but he’s not skilled like we think when we say Kyrie or a Luka or Joker.
It's crazy he doesn't get more recognition from the media and some players that left the league. He is so much fun to watch! Next series is going to be fantastic!
I honestly think luka knows the defense but saves his energy for offensive game. During clutch times, luka gets the ciritical steals and blocks. He just can't do that 100% of the game or it will burn his stamina like Ant did
@@Eniggma39 Dude... just look at him in the tight body shirts when his jersey is off... no dad bot at all. He is just not on steroids like most of the uber athletes. Hence why he looks normal compared to them. But he is stronger then most guys in the league who look like Bodybuilders.
He goes in-between looking bloated to normal every few months, he's got tree trunks for legs and he's way stronger than most people think but maybe it's his diet (too much drinking most likely) for why his face changes like that and why he gets red in the face easy at points in the season. His actual body and stamina is incredible for all he's asked to do.
And hes doing it on a bum knee and I don't say this as an excuse or to hype him up by pretending like he'd average way more or anything, he'd definitely be better but not by much, but what it DOES mean however is that his game is very adaptable, father time wont impact him anywhere near as much as it does most other players, his skill set doesn't require what youth gives you.

Luka is a true genius in shooting. He can shoot anywhere even inside and outside the court. He must work hard in shooting specialist. His shooting is beyond imagination. His confidence is extraordinary through hard work with outrageous training.
We might very well be watching a Top 5 all time player in real time. I’m not old enough to have seen MJ play live, but at least in my experience there is no player that has put my jaw on the floor as consistently as Luka has. Those shots that he was hitting against the wolves in game 5 were just unbelievable. It was literally like magic.
2:46 just wow. 25-11-9 on 57% TS is his *worst* series in terms of efficiency and output?!? If one of the other young up and comers even sniffed numbers like that the media would be kissing the ground that he walks on. And Luka is simultaneously one of those young up and comers and he’s already fully arrived and stamped his name on this league. Truly a phenomenal player and should get a lot of credit for what he’s done, is doing, and will continue to do for this game we love
This luka is unathletic take is flat out wrong. He actually accelerates and jumps quite well given how big and heavy he is. His coordination, breakes, strength and agility are absolute elite.
His breaks are the best ever. I can relate to Luka because here in America people think jumping high and running fast is athleticism because there’s a lot of black people. This is true but that’s only part of athleticism. I’m 6’6 and white and have extremely good coordination, can shoot lights out, and am extremely skilled with passing, shooting, IQ. There’s different meanings of athleticism but people don’t realize this. Like in football for example I have the best hands of anyone I have ever known and can catch anything one hand or 2 handed but I don’t have a 45 inch vert and am not fast. Still extremely athletic. People just don’t get it
Yep buddy this is our Slovenian beast LD77. We are proud of you Luka and we all country support Mavs!! Now I hope they repeat 2011 with Dirk and win. But Boston is always dificult to beat. 💪🔥🇸🇮
Nice video, and you are right on that Luka Plays based on how the defense is reacting, and he said it to the reporters clearly, yet for some reason he isn't taken seriously.
luka is already a top 15 of all time. you look at the fact hes been putting these numbers up since he was 13!!! PLAYING PRO AT 13!!! there is not a single main stream media player that will say he is the best in the league rn, but he truly is.
Luka to me is what messi is in futbol, technical ability and creativity maxed out to 200. Although my favorite is ronal watching messi is always a treat
Those who watch him play already knew he was unique. The proof of concept is him reaching the finals this year, but the writing was on the walls the entire time. That rookie season was only compared with those of greats. Next year he averaged Westbrook type numbers, and already had great moments as a playoff performer. Year after year he became better and better, and what some of us saw in the future was manifesting in the present: the clinching of the series vs Phoenix, the 60-21-10 game vs New York, Christmas game vs Phoenix, the 73 points against Atlanta. Now the playoffs series on bum legs and back, game winners and daggers, the defensive plays. It can be this year, or maybe it won't. But you can see it. Now and everytime you watch him play. A big solar flare in a galaxy of greats.
He's not that slow, he slows everyone down then strikes. He slows them down fakes and everyone beats him to where he's not going then strikes like a big cat. Slowish feet maybe but fast hands his brain is on another level.This kid maybe might become a goat
he basically has 15 years of pro basketball experience bc he's been cooking in the euroleague as a teenager. how do you win the championship and an mvp as the youngest guy on the floor then go onto the nba draft lmao
People keep talking about "the next face of the NBA" and at 25 Luka is THE face of the NBA right now (IMO). They're going to have to wait awhile if he keeps playing like this.
I think the main question is: if Luka wins this championship, will he be the greatest Maverick instead of Dirk? Personally, I still believe Dirk is better, but I think it will be a discussion.
@@homebrewhouseI understand that you still think Dirk have a better Mavs career, but you also have to remember that Luka's career is still far from over. It's still his 6th season.
This is the best produced Basketball analysis on the net. From story to stats, this is enthralling, exciting and exhilarating to watch. Love it. Keep it up.
The media said The Timberwolves outplayed the Nuggets, not that the Nuggets didn't play to their best level. Same media now say Timberwolves were playing below their level and not that the Mavs outplayed and embarrassed the Timberwolves. Hilarious 😂
Man we really have to teach americans about visible muscles vs functionnal strength. I promise you he's way stronger than your favorite 5% body fat 195 pounds player. Also people don't realize players put on muscle not to have more strength (the ball is not that heavy), but to add on WEIGHT and absord contact better. Luka doesn't need to add weight, he already has a gigantic frame. Could he be in better shape? sure. Does it impact his game? apparently not.
Luka is still athletic he might not be in the same tier as Westbrook or Lebron but he’s clearly quick enough to get a first step on the leagues most elite defenders. Can we retire this narrative that he’s not an athlete? He’s about average athleticism for a guy with his size and frame if not above average
Finally the USA is awake! I watched him in rm when he was 17 this kid was already incredible.. i was shocked when he went to nba and didn't be the first pick. Mavs gonna destroy Celtics 🎉🎉
Dončić and Jokić both, are not on "juices", what is obviously regular in NBA just like in any other American sports. How they got that right is a good question, because we here remember several players who came from here and were stars in NBA and were forced to be on that what affected their present health. They had no option.
He’s been the best player since 2022 , the media & most nba fans just been hating on him !! I acknowledged Luka back in the bubble when he hit that buzzer beater on the Clippers at only 20 years old. Watch it Tatum wins the ring the media will claim Tatums the best but he’s not It’s Luka & It’s been Luka. Not Jokic, Not Giannis, Not Ant-Man, it’s Luka!
if he can stay healthy for the next 10 years or so, I think we are perhaps looking at one of the top 5 players ever to grace the game of basketball. He is just 26, playing with a bleeding knee and making one of the best defences of all time look like clowns. It's unreal.
So tired of people saying that Luka is the white James Harden, Harden ain't ever done a damn thing in the playoffs! Luka is LeBron without the insane athletic ability and a better jumper, he is simply the best in the League
@theetruth8626 you commenting bullshit on every reply that's some grade A hating. Who did luka bounce out the playoffs that you love. The clippers, SGA or Ant???
@@Chris-fy7qd I never knew speaking the truth was hating. Only hate I see is u hate to face any truth or reality. My team ain't on the west coast. U cats gotta problem of hyping people who goes to the finals as the best player. When they don't even got the resume to be the best player.
@theetruth8626 the truth is your bullshitting with the right match up to get to the finals. Dallas just beat 3 50 win teams only team to do that since lakers with kobe. Facts are the truth not opinions about luka being the best or not

@@GabeRobb maybe if you look at the actual facts instead of living in a delusion. U wouldn't say all those idiotic comments that has no truth or no substance to them

I'm especially interested in the song that samples Janice Ian's "In The Winter" lyrics around the 6:20+ mark of the video. I can't find it via SoundHound, help a brother out pls :) !!
@@theetruth8626 The Celtics have more team-contribution than one significant major contributor. The WCF were the real finals this season if we’re being honest.
Kyrie is the greatest finisher, has the best handles and is the most unstoppable player at getting to his spot in league history. He isnt even the best player on his team.
The irony is he had bad ( for him ) series in rounds 1 and 2 because he was on one good leg. If the Mavs were able to play 45 win teams like Joker he’d be averaging 35/10/10 even with those injuries. He is the best player in the world. Joker and Gianni’s and Shai are just behind but behind indeed.
The rebounds are an impressive stat. You almost expect the points and assists given the amount of time he has the ball in his hands. But the rebounds? Instinct for where the ball will be just given the lifetime he has spent on the court?
Luka is the 2nd best player in the world. Jokic is still the best player in the world. It just happens that Jokic’s team folded, while Doncic’s team stepped up to the task. But don’t let that devalue what Doncic has been doing, the dude is an incredible player and already one of the all time playoff performers.
Completely agree, Jokic is still #1 but the Nuggets really let him down this post-season, anyone blaming Jokic individually for their 2nd round exit is ignorant or just hating. Now, if Luka goes on to dominate the finals and win FMVP; then we can have a conversation about best in the world.
The nuggets and jokic have a better supporting cast than the mavs. The thing is that the wolves knew how to defend jokic and his teammates but they could do anything about luka. If luka manages to do what he has done all post season (making buckets and making his teammates improve) to the celtics and win it all I think he should be called the best player in the league atm
People always want to equate leaping ability as being the most important athletic attribute of a great basketball player. It isn't. Size combined with hand eye coordination is more important. Glad I could clear that up.
Bro why are you saying “Luka at his absolute lowest are putting up numbers that lebron and Nikola is putting up” then you put up numbers where lebron and Nikola crush Luka numbers like wtf
That's why numbers in Basketball is not telling anything! Irving is kot getting stats, but he's deadly at time, he could just kill other teams hope in one shot!
People see how good he is, but the possibility of him being better than their goats scares the hell out of them. That's why they don't give him credit...

Truly a phenomenal player and should get a lot of credit for what he’s done, is doing, and will continue to do for this game we love
This luka is unathletic take is flat out wrong. He actually accelerates and jumps quite well given how big and heavy he is. His coordination, breakes, strength and agility are absolute elite.
His breaks are the best ever. I can relate to Luka because here in America people think jumping high and running fast is athleticism because there’s a lot of black people. This is true but that’s only part of athleticism. I’m 6’6 and white and have extremely good coordination, can shoot lights out, and am extremely skilled with passing, shooting, IQ. There’s different meanings of athleticism but people don’t realize this. Like in football for example I have the best hands of anyone I have ever known and can catch anything one hand or 2 handed but I don’t have a 45 inch vert and am not fast. Still extremely athletic. People just don’t get it
Yep buddy this is our Slovenian beast LD77. We are proud of you Luka and we all country support Mavs!! Now I hope they repeat 2011 with Dirk and win. But Boston is always dificult to beat. 💪🔥🇸🇮
Nice video, and you are right on that Luka Plays based on how the defense is reacting, and he said it to the reporters clearly, yet for some reason he isn't taken seriously.
and all this while Luka playing with bleeding knee 🤯
luka is already a top 15 of all time. you look at the fact hes been putting these numbers up since he was 13!!! PLAYING PRO AT 13!!! there is not a single main stream media player that will say he is the best in the league rn, but he truly is.
Luka to me is what messi is in futbol, technical ability and creativity maxed out to 200. Although my favorite is ronal watching messi is always a treat
If Luka didn’t have a bloody sprained knee this playoffs I’m scared to think what his numbers would be
Those who watch him play already knew he was unique. The proof of concept is him reaching the finals this year, but the writing was on the walls the entire time.
That rookie season was only compared with those of greats.
Next year he averaged Westbrook type numbers, and already had great moments as a playoff performer.
Year after year he became better and better, and what some of us saw in the future was manifesting in the present: the clinching of the series vs Phoenix, the 60-21-10 game vs New York, Christmas game vs Phoenix, the 73 points against Atlanta. Now the playoffs series on bum legs and back, game winners and daggers, the defensive plays.
It can be this year, or maybe it won't. But you can see it. Now and everytime you watch him play. A big solar flare in a galaxy of greats.
He's not that slow, he slows everyone down then strikes. He slows them down fakes and everyone beats him to where he's not going then strikes like a big cat. Slowish feet maybe but fast hands his brain is on another level.This kid maybe might become a goat
This channel needs more Subscriber and views. What a great analysis🔥
appreciate that bro :)
Luka is a monster he's not fat he's full of talent.
If mans can keep this up for like 6 more years and get at least 3 rings he’s goat. Highlights everytime he’s on court
Hes crazy good when hes on psycho mode
No doubt in my mind for the last 3-4 years
he basically has 15 years of pro basketball experience bc he's been cooking in the euroleague as a teenager. how do you win the championship and an mvp as the youngest guy on the floor then go onto the nba draft lmao
People keep talking about "the next face of the NBA" and at 25 Luka is THE face of the NBA right now (IMO). They're going to have to wait awhile if he keeps playing like this.
I think the main question is: if Luka wins this championship, will he be the greatest Maverick instead of Dirk?
Personally, I still believe Dirk is better, but I think it will be a discussion.
Nah Luka got it
Nah. We mavs fans all agree, talent wise hes far better than Dirk, but the Chip would solidify it 100% no debate
@@danraul9759 i agree with you he will be the most talented but will he be the greatest Maverick?
@@homebrewhouseI understand that you still think Dirk have a better Mavs career, but you also have to remember that Luka's career is still far from over. It's still his 6th season.
@@mhqqiqin_ yea Luka is probably gonne be greater at the end of his career if he stays with the Mavericks
This is the best produced Basketball analysis on the net. From story to stats, this is enthralling, exciting and exhilarating to watch.
Love it.
Keep it up.
absolutely brother. thank you :)
The media said The Timberwolves outplayed the Nuggets, not that the Nuggets didn't play to their best level.
Same media now say Timberwolves were playing below their level and not that the Mavs outplayed and embarrassed the Timberwolves.
Hilarious 😂
as a caveat on top he's perfoming like he is on one good knee this playoffs
imagine if he was fully healthy....
the fact he got 1 MVP vote is just mind blowing to me
Americans obsessed with "athleticism" when in fact its an aesthetic fetish who wouldve thought
Americans don't know what athletic means in the first place. They watch too many the Rock movies and think being roided up is "athletic"
amuricans are literally the worst country in the worlds
americans are into some very weird things
Man we really have to teach americans about visible muscles vs functionnal strength. I promise you he's way stronger than your favorite 5% body fat 195 pounds player.
Also people don't realize players put on muscle not to have more strength (the ball is not that heavy), but to add on WEIGHT and absord contact better. Luka doesn't need to add weight, he already has a gigantic frame. Could he be in better shape? sure. Does it impact his game? apparently not.
Underrated channel, great video
thank you brooo :)
That’s a great breakdown . And I just got serious in watching NBA this season and k don’t know why everyone shrugs him.
hes just 25 but played against groen men for 10 years
Luka is still athletic he might not be in the same tier as Westbrook or Lebron but he’s clearly quick enough to get a first step on the leagues most elite defenders. Can we retire this narrative that he’s not an athlete? He’s about average athleticism for a guy with his size and frame if not above average
When Lebron leaves, Luka will keeps me watching the NBA, not to mention Wemby as well. The future is looking bright 🤩
THATS ME AT THE 1:07 MARK lol atleast tag me fam (jokes)
Great video btw!
Told you you’re about to go viral again TGK! #IWasTold they were about to 🤡 you! 😙🎶
ay bro you got handles haha. appreciate the love
@@Post2k69 ayye I appreciate that fam!! Thanks!
Finally the USA is awake! I watched him in rm when he was 17 this kid was already incredible.. i was shocked when he went to nba and didn't be the first pick. Mavs gonna destroy Celtics 🎉🎉
Ace content, boss. Funny and informative. Subbed🎉
appreciate you paul
Dončić and Jokić both, are not on "juices", what is obviously regular in NBA just like in any other American sports. How they got that right is a good question, because we here remember several players who came from here and were stars in NBA and were forced to be on that what affected their present health. They had no option.
Glad somebodys saying it. Mad it took this long.
quality of this video is insane feels like im watching a jxmyhighroller vid. Keep it up🙏
He’s been the best player since 2022 , the media & most nba fans just been hating on him !! I acknowledged Luka back in the bubble when he hit that buzzer beater on the Clippers at only 20 years old. Watch it Tatum wins the ring the media will claim Tatums the best but he’s not It’s Luka & It’s been Luka. Not Jokic, Not Giannis, Not Ant-Man, it’s Luka!
Great content. Subscribed!
thank you bro
if he can stay healthy for the next 10 years or so, I think we are perhaps looking at one of the top 5 players ever to grace the game of basketball. He is just 26, playing with a bleeding knee and making one of the best defences of all time look like clowns. It's unreal.
Bro, I love your style, really professional! Please keep it going. You're going to be big on YT!
thank you bro! not stopping anytime soon :)
So tired of people saying that Luka is the white James Harden, Harden ain't ever done a damn thing in the playoffs! Luka is LeBron without the insane athletic ability and a better jumper, he is simply the best in the League
He’s the white harden lmfao
White James Harden with better court vision that better?
Bruh we gotta make the Luka Pokeball meme a thing, shii had me rolling.
He also has some ridiculous and very efficient handles. At his size probably the best in the league
Let Luka win this and he will ride this win and ball out the rest of his career😂
Stop lying to yourself it's good to see Luka in the finals but he's here because of the right match ups. Not because Dallas the best team.
@theetruth8626 you commenting bullshit on every reply that's some grade A hating. Who did luka bounce out the playoffs that you love. The clippers, SGA or Ant???
@@Chris-fy7qd I never knew speaking the truth was hating. Only hate I see is u hate to face any truth or reality. My team ain't on the west coast. U cats gotta problem of hyping people who goes to the finals as the best player. When they don't even got the resume to be the best player.
@theetruth8626 the truth is your bullshitting with the right match up to get to the finals. Dallas just beat 3 50 win teams only team to do that since lakers with kobe. Facts are the truth not opinions about luka being the best or not
@@Chris-fy7qd u clowns don't even know facts. U state bs that skip around the true facts to be the best. Luka playing with a hall of famer that's facts Luka can't even make MVP finalist because he doesn't win enough that's facts when have Luka carried Dallas to one of the top 3 winning records in the league on his back. That's what the best players do. It's a reason why he haven't won a MVP in this league
this is pretty much the season Luka and Mavs have built up too from the last 3-4 years
Scary part is, he is just entering his prime.
Really good vid man! Deffo keep it up!
Great documentary, tip of the hat to the creator.
Luka is the best basketball player
Stop lying to yourself he ain't top 3 in the league.
He is the best and theirs proof
@@GabeRobb sure there proof he's the most winning player in the league with a average of 55 wins. Nope that's Giannis Luka dominates on both ends of the floor. Nope he's not 2 way Luka been a MVP nope he has none. Luka has a NBA championship. Nope his count zero what the hell is u talking about?
Maybe if you’d watch the video instead of just coming here to argue you’d understand
@@GabeRobb maybe if you look at the actual facts instead of living in a delusion. U wouldn't say all those idiotic comments that has no truth or no substance to them
The last image!!!
Luka did all this on one leg! He’s not even 100%.
what people forget is that luka has been playing eltie pro ball since 14. he also played in the euroleauge where the defensive schemes are always to playoff levels. luka doesnt impress , thats always been him
@Post2k mate, your content is great but the soundtrack absolutely kills it. You need to start posting a tracklist you use! I'm especially interested in the song that samples Janice Ian's "In The Winter" lyrics around the 6:20+ mark of the video. I can't find it via SoundHound, help a brother out pls :) !!
Post got them jxmy vibes, good video bruh
appreciate you bro
OF ALL TIME!!!
thought you must’ve has at least 400 k subs keep going bro u gonna be great
Great vid Jxmy
3 of the top 5 players in the world being from the Balcans is kinda mindblowing. And making me proud!
3 of 3 actually
@@DamirHadzic-d4q i wanted to sound humble but no need to actually
PPL FINALLY PUTTING RESPECT ON LUKA
Absolutely amazing vid keep it up thought I was watching a channel with 100sk subs
thank you bro :)
I think he reached best in the league status after beating the Timberwolves.
Stop it you the best because you beat the Timberwolves. Is u cats serious
@@theetruth8626 The Celtics have more team-contribution than one significant major contributor. The WCF were the real finals this season if we’re being honest.
He’s been the best in the league for like 2-3 years but now people are starting to realize it
@@nicktheman1828 He never was better than Giannis Embiid or Jokic stop it
@@winstonmiu that's complete fabrication Minnesota ain't on Boston level.
You forgot that Luka Doncíc has appeared in the nba all-star 2019 in Charlotte, North Carolina too.
I was talking about All-NBA not All-Stars
Kyrie is the greatest finisher, has the best handles and is the most unstoppable player at getting to his spot in league history. He isnt even the best player on his team.
*Most skilled finisher*
The irony is he had bad ( for him ) series in rounds 1 and 2 because he was on one good leg. If the Mavs were able to play 45 win teams like Joker he’d be averaging 35/10/10 even with those injuries. He is the best player in the world. Joker and Gianni’s and Shai are just behind but behind indeed.
Great video
Great video loved it
This video is giving me JxmyHighroller vibes but it's a great vid
Luka ball handling is hilarious tho
The rebounds are an impressive stat. You almost expect the points and assists given the amount of time he has the ball in his hands. But the rebounds? Instinct for where the ball will be just given the lifetime he has spent on the court?
All of that on a hurt knee. U can deadass see it bleeding in the last shot of the video
It’s Luka time
As always, great video brother. May i get the name of the song/instrumental at 6:17? It goes bananas
End of conversations about the new league face.
AY! 1:05 Give my boy TGK TV his due credit! Mavs best pregame show!
Luka is the 2nd best player in the world. Jokic is still the best player in the world. It just happens that Jokic’s team folded, while Doncic’s team stepped up to the task. But don’t let that devalue what Doncic has been doing, the dude is an incredible player and already one of the all time playoff performers.
Completely agree, Jokic is still #1 but the Nuggets really let him down this post-season, anyone blaming Jokic individually for their 2nd round exit is ignorant or just hating. Now, if Luka goes on to dominate the finals and win FMVP; then we can have a conversation about best in the world.
@@damboulton still probably won’t be a conversation imo, but I guess we’ll see when/if we get there
The nuggets and jokic have a better supporting cast than the mavs. The thing is that the wolves knew how to defend jokic and his teammates but they could do anything about luka. If luka manages to do what he has done all post season (making buckets and making his teammates improve) to the celtics and win it all I think he should be called the best player in the league atm
Luka is the better offensive player.
Doncic did way more this season
People always want to equate leaping ability as being the most important athletic attribute of a great basketball player. It isn't. Size combined with hand eye coordination is more important. Glad I could clear that up.
Bro why are you saying “Luka at his absolute lowest are putting up numbers that lebron and Nikola is putting up” then you put up numbers where lebron and Nikola crush Luka numbers like wtf
That's why numbers in Basketball is not telling anything!
Irving is kot getting stats, but he's deadly at time, he could just kill other teams hope in one shot!
Great vid
Luka is 25 and can already be argued to be goat
Dude is good. And I’d be fine with him surpassing MJ, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Kobe, etc
