We Need to Talk About Luka Doncic…



We Need to Talk About Luka Doncic…

By Lely great clock shot and now Dallas in transition look inside it goes it’s a baset a b oh he is the game plan some say they’re the system he is the game plan and Luca magic has been on a tear this season 8 40-point games 23 30-point

Games along with 28 double doubles and nine triple doubles and the funny thing is there was still half a season left to be played at this point of his career Luca is already shattering a ton of scoring records with many more to come in the following Seasons or who knows

Possibly in the next couple of weeks or even days no question we can argue that Luca is playing on a goat level right now and according to Advanced stats he’s only one of two players in NBA history to have multiple 60-point games before the age of 25 and I’m pretty sure that

You already have an idea who the other guy is in line with the goat conversation Jason kid believes that despite his young age and not winning a championship Luca is already up there with the pound-for-pound great and I quote you can’t take this young man for granted he’s better than Durk he’s in

The atmosphere of MJ the best to ever do it LeBron James Kobe Bryant and so just to appreciate what this young man’s doing at the age of 24 is something that Dallas has never seen anyway from a team standpoint the Mavs are now intensely fighting for a playoff and play in spot

In the tough western conference with the 2923 record although this is the case they’re are really not that far behind as they’re just two games back from the fifth seed so there’s a big chance for the Mavs to climb up the ranks quickly if they manag to pile up a bunch of wins

The retooling that the Mavs did this off season like the key addition of Derek livley II to be Luca’s main pick and roll partner has definitely made Luca more lethal to some extent by allowing him to have more passing options it’s also elevated the Mavs offense overall

To a whole another level throughout the past Seasons the Mavs never really had a rim rolling big to support Luca but that’s not the case anymore with the arrival of lively see here’s a perfect play how Lively transformed the Dynamics of the Mavs offense Luca comes off a double staggered screen here which

Turned into a dribble handoff Green’s Defender Tails Luca from behind while banero and Isaac are getting ready to defend as soon as Luca turns the corner Lively then slips inside and this leaves banero on a tough spot on whether he’s going to cover the corner man or stick

With the rolling Lively in the end benero made the wrong Gamble and Luca made him pay for it as he easily lobbed it into the open big guy underneath it’s always going to be a pick your poison kind of thing when you’re guarding Luca in this type of situation because he can

Either hit both the shooters and the rle man with his god-like playmaking ability and Split Second decisionmaking the moment he sees even just a small lapse in the opposing team’s defense and speaking of the shooters the MAV Supporting Cast are also stepping big time this season exom Josh Green Jaden

Hardy and Maxi kber are all shooting above 35% from distance right now and as a team the Mavs are number two in the league right now and three-pointers made and three-pointers attempted now with this Supporting Cast all set Kyrie Irving has got to be the guy that will complete the final piece

Of the puzzle and so far his partnership with Luca looks just fine as he thrives as an off ball scorer while Luca handles the point guard duties the Mavs are surrounding Luca with the best talent available while he’s at the peak of his powers and more recently they upgraded

Their roster once again by trading Grant Williams for PJ Washington and also acquiring Daniel Gafford from the Wizards before the trade deadline both Washington and Gafford are excellent additions to the Mavs as it adds more depth in their front Court although they’re not as efficient as Grant Williams from range Washington and

Gafford on the other hand are both extremely athletic players that can serve as alternative pick and roll Partners to Luca who can also clean the glass and most importantly play solid D in the interior unlike Williams who frequently got exposed defensively due to his lack of size anyway as J kid said

Earlier Luca is the game plan the entire M’s offense starts and ends with him now let’s break down the game that the entire world is talking about against the team that officially drafted him Luca magic simply walked all over them and dropped the single greatest scoring performance in this generation by

Destroying the Hawks with 73 points and it’s not only about the number of buckets he put up but also about how efficient he was he shot 75% from the field and 61.5% from three missing only eight shots out of 33 attempts while knocking down eight triples the scoring

Onslaught that Luca Unleashed was the most efficient 70-point game ever recorded in the history of basketball Luca delivered a masterclass versus the Hawks and it didn’t matter who they put against him cuz they were all getting cooked like barbecu chicken left and right I mean they put the athletic 6’8

Jen Johnson on him in the early parts of the game but look here Luca just put him on his hip and had a layup as if his defense never existed on ball screen actions Luca just toyed with him and then this one he just gave him a little

Fake jab step before firing an effortless spot up jumper but this one has got to be the most embarrassing for Johnson so Luca steps on the gas here and as soon as he nears the rim he stops on a dime fakes and even waits for Johnson to contest as if he wants

Somebody to challenge a shot when the Hawks noticed that Johnson was getting destroyed they switched things up by sending bigs to guard Luca like okanga and capella but turns out the results were pretty much the same here on the switch he just took advantage of okong Wu’s slow reaction who is in drop

Coverage then all he needed was one dribble and a long step back to make okong Wu pay now here against the much taller capella Luca uses his speed and attacks the lane he then blitzes a no look dime to the corner when he notices the capella is on his tail and with the

Big guy late on the close out Luca rang the bell yet again the hawks’ wings and bigs can’t keep up with Luca magic and so they turn to their guards in the hopes of neutralizing this oneman Wrecking Crew once and for all but even if it was against sadique Bay Luca

Probing drifting back to the Baseline yeah baby or the one-time all defensive team member dejonte Murray it’s tangled up no one from the Hawks were able to stop the Avalanche of buckets that Luca rained down on that night Like a Surgeon with a sharp scalpel in his hand Luca just

Methodically dissected the hawks’ defense and just obliterated all white shirts that were thrown in front of him whether it was against lengthy Wing Defenders switchable bigs and quicker combo guards with his 73o outing it boosted his total point average this season to 34.5 which is his new career high and on

Top of that he also set a new career high in assists minutes three-point percentage effective field goal percentage and free throw percentage this season this season Luca switched another gear for sure with the healthy Kyrie Irving backing him up and to Supporting Cast hitting their shots we might just witness a totally different

MAV team in the postseason with an MVP Luca donz leading the way and who knows they might just go on a deep run while beating a bunch of heavy favorites along the way in the west anyway what do you think of Luca’s performance this season and do you think

That the Mavs can finally get over the hump this season with the pieces they have right now and lastly is he now eligible to enter into the goat conversation at this point of his career be sure to let me know your thoughts on this by dropping your comments below and

Until then see you in the next video

At this point of his career, Luka is already shattering a ton of scoring records with many more to come in the following seasons or who knows…possibly in the next couple of weeks or even days..

No question, we can argue that Luka is playing on a GOAT level right now and according to advanced stats, he’s only one of two players in NBA History to have multiple 60-point games before the age of 25 – and umm…I’m pretty sure that you already have an idea whose the other guy…

  1. Even if he doesn’t win MVP, this season has been truly special. He’s been on a run for the last two years that are almost unparalleled by nonchampions

  2. Bro is going to end up a Tracy McGrady type if he never gets that ring. Enshrined in the barber shop and disrespected by the future.

  3. Stop it dude. Teams dont even guard him. Its part of the Script ‼️ Come playoffs, hes ran through. He doesn't even pass the eye test. He cant run, jump, no quickness whatsoever, small, but unguarded able ❓❓ It doesn't add up…. because its scripted.
    Dirk earned his and was unguardedable

  4. He has the most potential to be in the goat conversation out of anyone in the league. And imo is the best player in the world rn. I respect Jokic but Lukas stats are just different. And the fact he AND Kyrie can both drop 40 in the same night just shows how good this team could be. They could definitely be a real contender this year, and possibly even win if all goes right. I dont think they do but I think they at least make the conference finals.

  5. Luka's been shooting more efficiently since the Mavs acquired Gafford and Washington. He might finish the year with a 52% field goal percentage, which would be a career high.

  6. This season, Luka posted the 20th highest gamescore ever in the Christmas day game against the Suns. Then 15 games later he posted the 2nd highest gamescore ever with 73/10/7 performance in Atlanta.

    Luka is the only player with 2 games that rank in the top-10 for gamescore all time, and also the only player with 3 such games that rank in the top-20.

  7. If Luka doesn't win the MVP people will look back years from now and say he should have. He is posting all time great numbers.

  8. Sorry but you can't be a GOAT without NBA Champion title/s. Luka does have the European titles knocked off before even joining the NBA though. I think the Mavs are very dangerous and now have the tools to beat anyone.

  9. The West is TOUGH. Clippers are LEGIT. Nuggets are LEGIT.
    Wolves and Thunder are coming up.
    BUT, LuKai can make a 7 game series hellish for any squad in the world.

  10. There is no bigger and longer Luka fan than me, watching him here in spain since oct 2016 but i cant say YET he is ready to GOAT convo. He will be for sure but it is still early.

  11. I agree with most of what you said, except one point. Dallas had a great roll man before Lively. The Powell/Luka P&R was the most efficent P&R combination in the entire NBA last season. With Powell on the court our offense was allways better. So Lively doesnt help the Mavs on offense compared to Powell, he is helping us a lot on defense and with rebounding. Thats the difference between him and Powell.

  12. I’m just excited to be excited to watch the Mavs again after last year’s debacle. I think people forget that Luka absolutely thrives on pressure which can be enough to give the Mavs that slight advantage over even the best teams come playoffs. That X factor is what makes him and the Mavs scary.

    They don’t call him magic for nothing.

  13. I promise u when it's all said and done especially if he gets a couple of rings he will be the 🐐 I promise u..
    Luka
    Mj
    LeBron
    Kobe

  14. Those were really tough contested shots on luka especially on threes. Man, the guy plays it like he hasn't put tremendous effort in scoring. Swish after swish and look now, the expectations are high on the Mavs now that they have Gafford and Washington for added size alongside their defense. Hope they pull off an incredible run this year and Grab the chip to silence the haters. Let's go Mavs! #MFFL

  15. The guy is just unbelievable. Scary talent all I want is for the mavs to win multiple championships I would rather that than him to win the MVP.
