Luka Doncic JUST HUMBLED THE ENTIRE NBA



Luka Doncic JUST HUMBLED THE ENTIRE NBA

um Jen McDaniels guard is luuka donish better than anybody in the NBA it’s like I think it’s almost like a proven stat donic with McDaniels there shot clock at seven Luca will make a move once it RI works by McDaniels who’s got to be careful spins Fades speed doesn’t bother him but length can definitely affect him go Bears out there donic Maneuvers for the lead got it got it what a shot they have size at The Rim they got Rim protection they got good on the ball perimeter defense and they have the number one overall defense in the NBA 14 for Luca on the logo what is going game blouses when it comes to the 2020s era we’re seeing our past Superstars our past best players in the world fall off every single season and with that being the case a lot of fans are asking who was the next face of the NBA and the one player who will carry the torch into the 2030s who will be the next face of the NBA Antman he’s the face of the NBA now it’s just like when Jordan came up magic and bird and Kareem and Moses all those guys had to take a back seat Ant-Man is here and he’s here to stay so looking at the mainstream Sports media guys like Anthony Edwards wi Ben Yama they’re kind of being dubbed and groomed as next pH of the league and I think it’s sayfe to say Luka donic doesn’t get nearly as much hype as he should compared to someone like Anthony Edwards which is kind of odd because Luca from really his sophomore season on was a top 10 player at worst and looking at Luca age 22 back in 2022 his individual play success far superior to someone Anthony Edwards at the exact same age as Luca That season was first team all NBA fifth MVP voting top three in punch per game and assist the playoff leader in punch per game and the second round be a 64 win Suns team which why M was dub the championship favorite stunning 27o lead down goes Johnson now look people back then gave Luca his praise they gave him his flowers but when it came to being anointed as the next base of the NBA back in 2022 Luca wasn’t getting that level hype like Anthony Edwards and that’s why I called this year’s West final the ultimate humbling moment for the mainstream Sports media as looking at Luca versus Anthony Edwards as a massive Underdog in this series 32 points a game 10 boards eight assist two Steals on absurd shooting Luca in this series reminded everyone why he Luka donic as out of both teams 11 points rebounds assist and Steals and while those numbers are impressive the stats are Gody where you saw Luka at his best was in a crunch time moments in the fourth quarter compared to some like Anthony Edwards who most times folded came up short in the biggest moments look at game one for example Luca in the fourth quarter 15 points 58 shooting made two threes and played all 12 minutes and the t-wolves late in this game had a pretty sizable lead but in large part due to Luca donic the Mavericks came back and stole this game and looking at three plays in particular Minnesota up by four Luca hadit a step back three on Anthony Edwards on the defensive end had the block on goar on the lav attempt and most importantly the dagger mid-range shot over Jade McDaniels that game one for Luca one of the most complete games of his career as he dominated start to finish and came through in the biggest moments and looking at game two of course the shot over goar not just a series defining shot but a career defining shot and if Dallas does win the championship taking a 20 lead on Minnesota hit the game win in Rudy’s mouth it’ll live on in Luca Donas lore the best plays in NBA history and looking at game three back in Dallas Luca in the fourth quarter was a perfect three3 shooting from the field in that quarter and the biggest shot he hit all game The Impossible Fade Away McDaniels with a shot clock winding down and I can’t forget Kyrie Irving in the Deep corner of the dagger shot to seal the game and asent to the series and having those two guys on the same team Kyrie and Luca there’s a lot of debates the best back court best scoring back court and honestly I don’t really care about that because one thing I do know this is the most clutchback Court I’ve ever seen as really no duo in NBA history has two guys late in games who relish Big Shot making can pass the ball create and just hit all types of shots late in the fourth quarter and one more thing I do want to talk about is he so called Killer Instinct and just the mentality to go for the kill strike the jugular and end the series a lot of fans brush this off you know not a real thing it’s fake it’s overblown you know you see that a lot but Luca in game five I thought should once again the killer mentality and the Killer Instinct as in game five in the first quarter really the entire first half was playing like a rabid bear with a 32 o steak right in front of him this dude was hitting step back from half court going in the paint throwing up flip shots just getting whatever he wanted he was possessed and it’s a so-call neutral Observer when you watch a game five in the playoffs you wanted to be close and competitive this game it was anything but and watching it at halftime it just gave me Deja Vu back to that Suns Dallas Series game seven in Phoenix I mean it was nearly identical as look back then in 2022 in the first half alone 27 points points three assists 9 and 12 shooting with four made threes Luca in game five versus Minnesota in the first half 25 points three assists 10 of 16 shooting with five made threes I mean that right there is eily early similar and once again shows LCA donic has that mentality that attitude to end games early in the first quarter and even the first half and the funny thing about LCA donic is only being what 25 years old already numerous iconic game series and especially buzzer beating shots versus great NBA teams and the most impressive thing about Luca in the biggest playoff games the biggest moments nearly always rise the occasion and comes through look at closeout games LCA donic 31.9 points per game for his career the fifth highest all time elimination games 35.0 points per game that ranks first game sev’s 40.5 all o first and just general points we can average in the playoffs 31.1 which is second only to Michael Jeffrey Jordan if any other Superstar player Young player 25 and under had those type of numbers and performances in big games they’d be getting du the next face of the NBA and the next player of the century or Millennium but unfortunately for luk a lot of fans and the media kind of reluctant giving that title as the face of the league and look if LC becomes that I’m I’m here for it I’ll Embrace that but I do find it very very peculiar someone like Anthony Edwards has a good two and a half 3 we stretch and all of a sudden this dude the next MJ he’s branded he’s a face the NBA and the League’s future but Luka donic you know yeah toss from the side and for ant specifically that back half of his playoff run he was downright mediocre and when speaking about LCA donic Luca’s mediocre series are still better than a lot of players at their best and going look at this series versus the Clippers 30 points nine boards and assist on 41% shooting that is a bad Luca donic series Luca versus the Thunder 25 points 11 boards nine assists 45% shooting but still you know a mediocre series for Luca donic and you might ask the question how did Dallas win both those series with Luca being kind of meh for his standards well it all comes back to fourth quarter play and clutch time play as Luca in both those series the biggest gamees biggest moments came through time and time again in the first round versus the Clippers Lucas fourth quarter scoring 6.8 points a game 48% shooting 46% from three with a plus minus of plus 5.2 look at the OKC Series the fourth quarters games five and six 12 points 511 shooting 8 assists 1 one turnover and was a plus n in both those fourth quarters look I get it clutch time play fourth quarter play it is kind of subjective there’s not really a definitive stat for it when you see Luca play the big shots he hits you know this guy undoubtedly the best clutch players in league history and if you want to call it Luca’s revenge tour I mean go ahead and say it because every single turn this team and Luke himself have proven everybody wrong so that right there is the end of the video and once again Luca Don a one of one and a certified Hall of Famer at only 25 years old as always thank you guys for watching hope you enjoyed it I’ll next time

In Luka we trust. Hope you enjoy.

  1. ā€œThe faceā€ of the nba is a foolish concept contrived by someone craving a superhero in a very shallow culture. One face. Get out more, folks šŸ˜‚

  2. Wemby, Jokic, Luka, Shai, and Giannis.

    Look at that list and tell me, particularly now there are no positional requirements in the All-Star games, that non-Americans don't have the potential to shut this entire league down.

  3. The NBA must be the sport with the silliest commentators who take themselves WAY too serious while nobody gives a damn about the opinions coming out of their talking heads.

  4. how about a nickname for luka? is this good "LUKE THE GODFATHER"? OR "LUKA THE BALKAN BALLER"? hahaha random thoughts

  5. Leave Antman alone, he didn't do nothing wrong, blame the American media and their obsession with an American athlete being the face of their league. BTW no one's gonna replace Bron and Steph as the face of the league as long as they're playing

  6. Call me crazy or a conspiracy theories. But I cant be the only one who see that ANYONE tied to or linked to Kobe. The media goes out their way to disrespect or not give proper positive coverage, I'll name a few Kyrie, Tatum, Luka, Giannis etc. Especially, if those players go against what the media wants them to do, leave a organization, team up with other players, speqk on or against soical agenda etc.

  7. I hate to say it but itā€™s because heā€™s white & heā€™s not from the USA. Heā€™s not as aesthetically pleasing to watch & heā€™s not always selfish enough to score as many points as he could, he actually passes for the better of his team. These people are desperate for another MJ but there isnā€™t gonna be another MJ

  8. Been sayin since his second year he was the best player since Kobe. Yes, generation alpha, you read that right. Skipping Lebron, Curry, and Durant. Go read a book or better yet, watch an ENTIRE basketball game for once, youā€™ll definitely learn something.

  9. I swear its like Dirk went through his championship like a super hero but Luka on his Villian arc the whole playoffs šŸ˜‚

  10. Austin Rivers is 22 or some shit (hit a game winner for duke) now he valid and legit to say that ? . Fuck outta here. Retire already

  11. Jokic and Luka are the new face of the NBA and Anthony Edis the best Joker in the NBA…. hahahah šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  12. Luka and joker are white. Thatā€™s not allowed in basketball. You think itā€™s coincidence that so many great white players come from Europe? Itā€™s cause they are allowed to play over there. You got very little chance in NA if youā€™re white

  13. I HATE the fact they give them a finals participation trophy. Only 1st place should get the trophy. Nba has been diluting the meaning of these awards by creating so many unnecessary new ones.

  14. Luka and Trae hitting that 3 at the all star game a few years back. That clip should be the face of the nba

  15. America just cannot imagine an NBA with white european players being better than black players to make them the face of the league

  16. Looking at the comments, i must say i agree with if he was black and American, i think we would be declaring him the face of the nba. Ant is not ready for that kinda of comparison and shouldnā€™t have been in the conversation just yet. He needs more time. The media is biased and itā€™s embarrassing too bc we have eye and you canā€™t deny his talent period. Stop telling us who is the face as if we canā€™t figure it out ourselves

  17. Remember that they said these athletic players would have cooked Larry bird if he played in todayā€™s nba because he was slow šŸ˜‚. If youā€™re great like a wizard (todayā€™s players like luka and jokic)speed canā€™t even stop you.

  18. If someone woke up from a 5 year coma and read the Luka glazing in these comments they might assume he's actually won a championship before šŸ˜‚

  19. This is media trying to encourage nba owners to still believe in local talents. If media told the truth and endorse European players as better than Americans, nba owners would rather draft and hire these European players, who maybe cheaper and complain less. If this happens, black collegiate players have a harder time entering NBA

  20. "Face of the NBA" is not someone that can be proclaimed as such by the media. It's the guy that people around the world tune in to watch at whatever hour.

  21. I remember the season Bucks won the championship against the Suns. Booker was touted as the "next Kobe" or the new face of the league. Following season he faced the Luka test and his career hasn't recovered yet.
    Antman deservedly got the hype in the beginning of the playoffs. Deserved the plaudits for dumping the Suns and the Nuggets. But the media absolutely drove the narrative to downright annoying. And he too faced the Luka Test……. I hope he recovers unlike Booker.

  22. Doc Rivers' utter incompetence as a head coach is only equaled (and even eclipsed) by his son's utter and complete incompetence as a media "analyst" a.k.a bs spitter.

  23. NBA only wants an American as a face of the NBA, thatā€™s why they secretly allow Antman and Ja to take PEDs to perform well.

  24. I think Lukas new nickname shouldnā€™t be the GOAT
    But be now known as the STORK

    because usually every 9 months, heā€™s delivering newborn babies to the NBA world. He has more children than Genghis Khan
