MVP or not, NBA-champion or not, Luka Doncic is the best player in the world in the last 30 years. He beat the 4-time champion in the last decade which scored 27 3s and it wasn’t enough against Doncic. The Don of basketball dominated offensively for 3 quarters and was the key defender for his team in the 4 quarter. 45 pts, 13 assists, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3 steals for the “ball hog” who is not amongst the first 10 players for offensive possession of the ball in the league.

Ppl who say Luka can't play defense are dead wrong. Man averages more steals and showed up big time in the playoffs on the defensive end. Luka all day!
Yeah. The problem is more often than not he chooses not to give af. Like that game against the Jazz. And that is what's frustrating because he is capable of defense.
There's only 3 players in the world that can put up a 45pt triple double with 70% fg: Joker, Luka and Giannis. But only Luka can do it with such style and beauty.
Much easier for centers to do it. Luka is a guard so it's not close how much better Luka is than both of them. For example Lively, Gafford, and even Powell shoot around 70 percent because they dunk and are close to the rim.
@PedroJr17 I was talking about field goal percentage but whatever makes you feel better about a bum who has never beaten a 50 win team in the playoffs and never will.
Why are defenders allowed to play illegal defense on Luka? If you watch this video or any video you can see handchecking is allowed on Luka but I don't see that handchecking against Shai, Tatum etc. Handchecking is illegal defense but it is not illegal if its on Luka
Yeah I agree...Shai is a 9.8..luka is a 10... Separated by Lukas legendary passing ability and his ability to play out of the post whenever he really wants to ...(I actually think he should play out of the post more but maybe he's saving that for later in his career and playoffs)
@@Lyrunfromda214 Luka is #2 in the league in steals currently. Shai not doing that. Stop. He also gets much more rebounds. Luka will destroy Shai every time in a 7 game series. Shai can get a couple Ws but when it comes to series OKC not beating Mavs period. They'll beat them again in the playoffs this year
Look at Lukas postgame talk with all those bruises, it was a physical game but both teams were on fire, they were at 80 in the half and the calls were even going the warriors way. Stop downplaying without giving credit where its due. People just love moving the goalpost, if Luka doesnt score well, "thats the mvp? he has to do better". If he scores well but lost, "he gotta play more defense/ he ball hogged too much". And if he does everything and leads a win, "we gotta blow them out by 30 and hold them to below 110" :))) at this point, its those spoiled fans pretending to be on dallas side thats the problem. Sit back and appreciate greatness cause no matter what, this team is doin great
@@BergenBelsen88 Denver is only 5th on table... player from team so bad on table can not be MVP! Well this was argument last year that Doncic did not win MVP as he was FARRRRR better by numbers then Jokic.
People saw the little clip from one play where Luka fell asleep on defence and are ignoring literally everything else including his improved defence except for that one play, yes it was detrimental for the game but it doesn’t mean you look at his whole career as a terrible defender when he’s just average and when locked in he’s actually above average defensively.
As someone who's watched more than a little clip, people are frustrated with his lack of interest many times in playing D, not lack of talent. Luka's an open book, you can clearly see when he's not interested in a play, it's gotten better, but it was still there beginning of the season (usually when something frustrates him, he does this).
Luka has the 2nd best defensive rating among all pgs. 2nd in steals. He has been playing pretty good defense. He is definitely trying his best to improve. Its makes it easier when you dont have to score every basket anymore. Their team is deeeeep
Luka follows EVERY bad game up with a SCORCHER....Thats what makes him already one of the best ever and why OKC will have their hands FULL FULL if they ever see Dallas in the playoffs because he would have done this to them instead of GSW...you can snake out some regular season wins against Dallas and Kidd loves experimenting all through the season, and in every game one of a series but its damn near impossible to beat a healthy Luka two games in a row in a series, and ESPECIALLY with a squad of guys around him he can dish to
Really hope Luka can utilise his exceptional talent into winning a Championship or two. Guy is UNREAL…hate for a lack of championship to be held against him. (Not that I will, but others might…)
They always cry about how defense is not just blocks, steals and rebounds yet when they praising other players for defense they always praise them solely on blocks and steals. Make it make sense
Well, I'm not saying he can't play defense, he is good defender right now, but the thing is... Curry won steals title in 2016, he never made all defensive team. Allen Iverson averaged above 2,5 steals per game in his prime, he was never an elite defender too. Just because you make steals doesn't mean you are great defender, but yeah, he is playing solid defense this season for sure.
@@hristijandimitrovski8664 no one talking about Luka being dpoy or elite defender. It's just crazy that they say he plays no defense when he is above average in every single defensive statistic. Not even above average, hes actually in the top 20% of defensive players in the league
@johnwild8217 nah, still you can't use always stats to decide that. Defense is more of an eye-test. For example, before this season, Jokic was leading the league in defensive box +/- 3 seasons in a row and nobody ever called him a good defender those 3 seasons, majority of posle were saying he wasn't good defender soo. If those defensive stat mattered, Jokic would've made at least 2nd defensive team in his career, but he has none of that.
Getting steals & playing defense are 2 different things … he gets steals because he has great anticipation & the Highest IQ in the league & I love Luka but let’s not act like he can stay in front of somebody
@ Who doesnt know who dyson daniels is? What even is that to make an assumption like that, also dyson averages 3.0 whilst luka and murray avergae 2.1 idk if you are new to basketball or not but that is a HUGE diffrrence and clearly there are another 10 players who are closer to luka then luka is to dyson, bobody downplaying it I just read “best in the nba” which is clearly and factaully CAP
@ I’ve read that he usually starts the season at 240 lbs… then gets into his playing weight of 230 lbs. He does look more fit of late. Compare to 6’6 Zion who has a playing weight of 285 lbs. There have been reports that he has tipped 300 lbs. 😬
Luka do what luka do. He is just hoping that klay will not fold like a cheap suit in the playoffs and play 4 qtrs. Klay is still adjusting to luka magic. Luka makes his whole team better
Yall know Mavs fan we played Golden state. Leave the OKC fans alone until they're team wins meaningful playoff games. Let them have the regular season and all the talk of being the historic defense. Only time will tell. Real OKC fans will stay quiet because they know its about playoffs not regular season.
There just isn't any correlation between the stats players are putting up right now and the stats Jordan put up because the NBA is so drastically different. It used to be REALLY difficult to score 30 points or get 10 assists and that's what made Jordan's career averages of 30.1 in the regular season and 33.4 in the playoffs so remarkable. Now it means literally nothing. There are guys scoring 50 that I've never even heard of.
Luka purposely looking for Klay. Hes a leader for sure knows his guys well.
