  1. Far more impressive than embiids 70. Less shots, less free throws, and still scored more. First player in NBA history to score 70+ on 75%+ shooting.

  2. The NBA is trash now. This league is SOFT! Nobody plays defense and the Hawks treated Luka like he was their idol! Does anybody take hard fouls anymore? Bring back the Magic, Bird, and Jordan era when guys competed. I can't watch this trash!

  3. It's Very Wrong to say Tatum is better Than Luka and it's more wrong to say Tatum is a Super Star and Luka isn't

  4. A quick look back at the top 15 picks in the 2018 NBA Draft.

    1. Suns: Deandre Ayton – Arizona

    2. Kings: Marvin Bagley III – Duke

    3. Hawks: Luka Doncic – Real Madrid (traded to Mavs)

    4. Grizz: Jaren Jackson Jr. – Michigan State

    5. Mavs: Trae Young – Oklahoma (traded to Hawks)

    6. Magic: Mo Bamba – Texas

  5. Tim Hardaway is GARBAGE!!! Dude you learn in middle school how to close out on shooters. It’s incredible how he continues to jump or run past guys.

  6. Why American always says Luka is selfish on ball when he is always 10 or more assist every game ..I think he is 3rd on NBA assist… While scoring more points.. a true face of NBA .. active NBA player legend ..

  7. The Mavericks really need to get the right chemistry around Luka. Trying to grasp why they're only 25-20. I know injuries have been high, but…

  8. The entire league this year has been ballin and having high scoring games within the regular regulation games without having to go to overtime. I've never seen as many high scoring games scoring over 140 points in my entire life and this year alone seems to be regular days work for these league players in today's era 💯💯💯
