Ayton was spot on. "You ain't guarding nobody in this league, you make it as tough as possible. If they miss, they miss because of themselves." It's not like they play no defense anymore or are bad. It's just a waste of energy against so many talents in the league! And if there is a slight chance for a block or steal, they almost always get it. They putting up these numbers with almost no room for error during the game. That is how insane the level of talent is in this league. And how insane Luka actually plays...
Bro I couldn’t agree more. Spot On! Oh my God these old heads drive me crazy. I guess I’m kind of an old head… 35. The overall size, athleticism, and talent in the league today is so far ahead of dudes in the 80’s and 90’s (overall… there were definitely dudes that would still be stars in the league today) But from top to bottom… it’s not even close!
I’m 36 almost 37 and Luka will go down as better than lebron and and be right next to jordan if not above him(if he stays healthy). I’m telling you. The talent is far superior now to the 90s and Luka is the absolute best of the them with maybe jokic being the same level if not slightly better or worse.
@@gmoney8399well when superstars are being drafted deep into the second round, yeah I agree. They have to expand the league mostly because there is too much talent already in the league and continually coming into the league year after year. I’ve never seen this it’s crazy

Kyrie is a legend. He's skills are amazing. He deserves much more credit as he has for wining championship with Lebron and the Cavs. He was in media a lot for all the wrong reasons. I believe he will go in history as one of the most under-rated and most skillful players ever. When you watch Kyrie and Luka you know you are watching something special. It's basketball poetry in motion. This is what basketball is all about. ❤ Kyrie and Luka
I hear people talk on various Luka videos about his dunking ability but in this video Luka is getting very high and having no problem dunking on people
I don’t think he needs to dunk to be effective. He was starting to dunking more in the 22-23 season, had a poster on Jrue, then tried to dunk on Valenciunas for some reason and hurt his foot/ankle. I don’t think he will really do it anymore, just no reason to when he’s already super effective driving and laying it up
Well the narrator was wrong about the Brunson situation. Brunson said he was going to stay in Dallas and they offered him a good contract. But once NY offered a max deal, he said he had no choice but to take it because you never know if you can get a max deal again. But he almost stayed
According to mark cuban and Dallas front office, Brunson didn't even talk to th.before accepting the deal from NY, I don't think he almost stayed. I don't blame him for chasing a bag though
@@jkirk6444 Well that could be true but Brunson has said otherwise in other interviews. Who knows. Either way, good for him for getting that max deal. I'm happy for him either way
I never actually thought that Booker didn't respect his father, it's just that he talks too much, people pick on that and of course, the media will piggyback from that. And Luka is a psycho once you get him going. The last player that had like this fear factor was probably Kobe but even Kobe couldn't manipulate the game the same way Luka does. I would say that Kobe would infuse fear in their opponents, players were intimidated by Kobe. Once Luka gives you the Luka experience it's like he is a mountain you can't climb, he makes you feel impotent, it's more like a soul-crushing experience, it deflates your will, it's different, it's like "what else can we do?". It's ultimately funny to see people who don't learn and they poke the bear, this saying comes all too often when it comes to Luka and it's starting to sound like a legend. It's like the GSW 3s barrage back in the day, but it's just one guy dissecting your defense.
Idk but he had better numbers than joker and sga and still wasn’t top 3 discussion all season long until embiid went down and it bumped him into it. It’s ridiculous this dude can’t get his flowers
But SAS as a former player would say Luka is bad.. and just like Sofa Experts will also say he is bad.. we dont care tho! Luka will just get that Finals win and Finals MVP
@@bigmind8508 he was better then Jordan.. He just did not want to be known as the best NBA player of all time and he stopped playing! Trust me i know, he was my sister.
Brunson made a young man's mistake in going to the Knicks. He's a great player and the second he signed, he became "the man" on that team, which is what a talented young guy wants. And being "the man" pushed him to level up his game to the point that he's a borderline MVP candidate. But that ownership is dysfunctional, the front office is a wreck, and the NY fandom might be the most toxic in the NBA. The roster is an unbalanced mess and it won't get better. JB put a team of bench players on his back and dragged them to the playoffs. He's racking up heavy mileage and injuries and it won't get easier if he stays on the Knicks.
You're a madddddd casual. First of all, Brunson gave the Mavs an opportunity to sign him first for cheap. They didn't give it to him. Knicks jumped in. Second, the Knicks you just described was from the 2010s , they are no longer like that and haven't been since Thibs took over. Wtf are you even on about? It was absolutely a great choice for Brunson to go to the Knicks, he's out up legendary performances and is now a Knicks legend. If his team is healthy they might be in the finals. Stop your nonsense dude.
Bro you can’t compare luka to harden. Stop it🤦🏾♂️ the difference between luka and harden. Is when playoffs come around Luka Steps up. Harden chokes so why the hell are you comparing the don vs a dude who never been clutch in the playoffs 😂😂
On offense, they are stylistically similar, especially driving and stepping back. Doncic has said himself that he learned a lot from Harden's game. Luka is a better rebounder, post player, floor general, and defender while James is a better shooter. Both guys sometimes struggle to keep their heads in the game; James sometimes zones out and Luka's temper sometimes beats him. You're right in that Harden's biggest weakness has been that in big games and big moments, he tends to tighten up and his response to that tightening up tends to be to vanish entirely; Luka seems to step up in big moments, when he can keep his temper in check. Teams know that when Luka is smiling and trying to make crazy plays, they're in for a long night. That's why teams cheap shot him so much.
Kyrie has described himself as having been a distraction and difficult for teammates to deal with. He said that the Brooklyn experience inspired him to work on himself and change as a person and he has. He's an inspiring dude. Please don't try to take take that from him.
Future face of the league? Up and coming star? Stats speak for itself. He is already him, for the last couple of years as well. Stop making this stupid narrative about him still being a thing in the future or ''up and coming''
A Luka no lo puedes comparar con ningun jugador de la NBA!!! Harden, ni es un creador de juego, ni tiene la vision de crear pases, ni ese juego a medio gas de Luka. Kobe, tampoco, Kobe es el jugador mas parecido a Michael Jordan, y Luka no se parececen nada!!!! A Luka solo le falta, mas cardio, y potencia de salto, para entrar a machacar el aro!!! Seria el jugador perfecto(equilibrado) Puede ser que si le hubieran dado el MVP hubiera sido el jugador mas joven en conseguirlo? Y europeo!!!
OMG WHY ARE YOU GUYS STILL SAYING "LUKA AND HARDEN ARE SIMILAR PLAYING STYLES" !!! Harden never had a midrange game, harden never had a post up back to the basket game,harden never had the fade away. THE ONLY REASON YALL COMPARE THEM CUZ THEY BOTH DO STEP BACKS !!! Fken casuals bro. Any real hooper that knows basketball would never compare the 2 they are nothing alike outside of the damn step back. Harden is great but he made his living off free throws, floaters and step back 3s. NEVER has Harden ever had a midrange game, fade away, and post up game.

Dont compare to Luka to Harden. One actually shows up in the postseason and was 4th in MVP voting just after his rookie year with significantly worse rosters. Get that sh** outta here 🤣
