UNDISPUTED | Skip react to Luka records 5th consecutive 30 Pts triple-double in Mavs’ win over Heat

Last night Luca donic had his fourth straight 35o triple double that broke a tie at three straight with Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook in the eight games since the All-Star break Luca has average you ready for this 37 10 and 11 in those eight games he’s shooting 42%

From three and 86% from the free throw line where he used to struggle he leads the league in scoring by a wide margin he’s third in assist he’s even 18th overall in rebounding and everyone above him is a center or a power forward so kesan has Luca become the

Best offensive player in the NBA no I mean you look they’ve lost three of the last four games they finally won one where he had a 35o triple double last night first time okay first time right you still got Steph Curry LeBron James you still have Kevin

Durant you know you got ad sabonis is getting double doubles left and right they like falling out of his pocket in Sacramento I like Luca but in the end that the success he’s having scoring I want to know why you’re not winning why why aren’t you winning you scoring

You you you know you’re a high c as far as scoring but then you say a wide margin he’s only up by three by three points that’s that’s over jannis that’s three points 34 to 31’s a lot in that race it’s usually a shootout it’s usually yeah but that can

Turn cuz he could score he could score 19 of the night all of a sudden go crazy deep in the season it’s hard to to make it change much no I understand but no I won’t say that man cuz there some there some deadly scores that’s out

There it’s some deadly and they winning right he’s sitting in the HC with his team and and you know uh Shay is at number two yeah okay and and Giannis is sitting at two just holding off the calves a little bit so he’s good he’s lethal he’s got he got

A lot of stuff but I wouldn’t I wouldn’t make him the the top guy right now I just wouldn’t I would and I have been critical of him in the past and you say I don’t give anybody credit but I do give him credit well he

Plays it it doesn’t matter I’m again I used to cover the Mavericks but I’m not a Maverick fan not I’m definitely not a Mark Cuban fan anybody will out there will tell you that the point is when he first got into the league I was skeptical because he was a poor

Three-point sh was kind of like LeBron es couldn’t make his free throws he used to miss a lot of clutch free throws and he used to hover around 30% and sometimes below from three he has gotten in the lab he every year he gets a little better and a little better and a

Little better I don’t like to look at him only because he he still doesn’t look like he’s in shape to me he just doesn’t but if I step back from it and evaluate it objectively I say look at the impact he’s having leading the league and scoring I’m going to say it

Again he’s third in assist so I love Shay because I do love the Thunder because I am from Oklahoma City and I have pushed him for at least being right in the middle of the MVP conversation because he belongs there but he cannot assist the basketball the way this guy

Does okay and Shay can’t rebound remotely the way this guy does and it’s below the the rim rebound as you know it’s like Dennis Rodman es the way he’s rebounding but but he’s 18th in the league so he’s a top 20 rebounder I would say LeBron could be a better

Rebounder if he chose to but LeBron just doesn’t choose to he is choosing to go bang with people and go after the basketball so all of a sudden he’s averaging now the last eight games he’s just on this tear 30 7 10 and 11 and over those eight games he’s shooting 42%

From three that’s ridiculous for what he used to be that’s really good he’s making 86% of his free throws over eight games now we get to your biggest question and your best question and like and that’s producing what exactly well they finally beat Miami at home last

Night and it was it was tough and he made some ridiculous shots in the fourth quarter he he makes trick shots because I think he practices trick shots you know but the point is in usage rate he’s running away with the usage rate you know race in the league he’s 36% it’s

Probably up there at like a record Pace but the point is uh Shay Gil just is at at 33% so it’s 36% so 36% of the time he’s got the basketball in his hands doing his stuff that he does like nobody’s and the ball doesn’t move right

Okay he will find people when they’re open for shots and he’ll get his bigs dunks when cuz he’s listen he he’s got the gift he’s got the passing gift but the whole world has to revolve around him and there’s this other dude who’s his running mate who simply has the best

Handle I think in the history of basketball I’m talking about Kyrie there’s this dude named Kyrie who to me is still the best clutch shooter in all of basketball there’s nobody I would rather have with the basketball in his hand in a big spot than Kyrie just creating his own show whatever jumper

Fall away whatever he can create I mean there’s just nothing like Kyrie but the two of them together because they fight for usage raid you know is it your turn or my turn right somehow it’s not translating into lots of I mean they’re F they’re 35 and 20 so there’s seven

Games over 500 but are they the best team seven games over 500 and a game and a half or so in front of Golden State okay they’re in the eighth spot that’s exactly who they are and what they have been and again these other guys that you

Can talk about as best offensive players you can say uh the Joker is the best offensive player he passes he rebounds he pushes the well not push the ball up the court but he he shoots from all over the floor he’ll push it up the yeah I

Mean when I say push I meant like a guard push um so but they’re winning OKC’s winning y Milwaukee’s winning you know golden state has had some issues but they still are in a better position than they were you know a month and a half ago so when you start looking at

It it it balls down to are they winning with this offensive Firepower that he displays night in and night out they’re not winning where they should be me they’re not bad but they’re not dominating yeah no they’re they’re seven games over 500 yeah they’re not terrible terrible terrible but they could very

Well but not this year but they could have missed the play in they’re not going to miss it because they sitting pretty based on the end of the season sure but they could be at home very easily just like they could be in it okay I do admire him because he has

Improved his weaknesses a lot he’s now become well for the year he’s shooting 38% from three that’ll work cuz cuz he’s going to take a lot of Threes And if you make 38% you you’re going to be pretty he can shoot 38% from three but if

LeBron shot 37% from three you go crazy okay LeBron is shooting 40% from three yeah but I’m saying if he would have shot 37% you would go crazy on LeBron but it’s okay for him to shoot 38% but every year go go look at his year by

Year he gets a little better and a little better and a little better and LeBron doesn’t get a little better and a little better LeBron is 39 years old and he’s shooting 40% for three okay he’s having a rare year but he’s a career 34% three-point shooter and uh LeBron’s a a

Career 74% free throw shooter but if you take Luca’s career and you look at his early career and you factor that into the 38% now he’s probably under 34% shooting from three I don’t know I didn’t look at that but you could be right but free throws he’s going up

Every year he gets a little better and a little better because they are called free throws that’s something you can figure out you can you can figure out how to shoot free throws over your career you just can and he is because he knows their free points so I I’m not

Sure anybody can score the way this guy can score on a nightly consistent basis well you obviously don’t watch Kevin Durant do I watch so but you just made the statement though skip that nobody can score on basis like this okay well he doesn’t he doesn’t score like that

Guy can Kevin can’t get to the rim and create at The Rim the way this guy does there there’s no there’s no joker is like that I think you’re the only person that would say that Kevin Durant okay you got to stop it on Kevin Durant I I I

Saw Kevin Durant coming a long time ago I because back I I was on cold pizza screaming about how Kevin Durant was going to win multiple scoring titles I didn’t say you was and they were laughing at me they were the reason I Kevin Durant let me finish the story I’m

On cold pizza and they are laughing at me daily I’m saying this kid at Texas is going to revolutionize scoring cuz he’s 7 feet tall and he is a lethal mid-range jump shooter like we’ve never seen it like that and that’s what happened finally Bill self came on our show and

Said you guys got to back off skip because he’s exactly right about Kevin Durant he is going to be something in the NBA and all he did in Oklahoma city was go 5040 90 to win the MVP
