Luka Doncic Breaks Down His 73 Point Masterpiece and The One Rule Change That Could've Prevented It 

You don't know the hand checking rule well, JJ. Surprisingly too...

Can’t wait till you drop the full video… we really want to hear what Luka has to say

He look great!😊

They couldn’t blitz him since they were doubling most of that game!

​@@ISpeak9450esethen can you explain it to us old head. Explain

😂

Was gonna like, but it’s already at 77

😂😂😂😂

Wipe your mouth

Dust ya knees off

it's hard making it look easy

@@triptychluxexactly

​@@triptychlux to play at Luka pace is super difficult and takes alot of concentration on movements. he know he's not faster than most, so he create his own pace so guys don't know how to keep up, it's too unpredictable. You have to be patient af and elite at defense to defend Luka

Nah you just cant see what hes doing, its very subtle sometimes.

He didn’t say his game goofy..he said scoring the 4th most highest points in an nba game was hard

That’s what I’m saying like when your 19 you was a pro 😂

Luka has been a pro for 8 years. He was 16 when he turned pro. Even though he's only 24 he's near a 10 year vet.

He talks about Dereck Lively II.

@@DetroitTylerterrific point

@@zoranmarkovic1123 Its your second language I guess since your response makes no sense.

Thanks. Team effort.

@@JJRedickgood job ya’ll. All that work finding the clips

I agree... dam y'all should put your equipment in the notes I'd be more than interested you guys get an amazing result. Very professional

@@JJRedickIts great. When that highlight came up I couldn't help but remember the old video you did where they were talking about floppy and you tried to diagram it out on the back of a piece of paper lol

Not real time…

Fiba has adjusted to the nba game. They call all the touch fouls now. Fiba World Cup was a great example

Me too but Have u seen the latest list he is on 6. Position...are they serious or simply delusional....he should be at least top 3 at least....crazy and sad 😢😢😢

@@GaiusPrimusMatiustop 4 maybe, jokic, Giannis and Shai are better right now! Stop being a fanboy

@@culifabrizio1479 I respect your opinion but Strongly disagree.... objectively his performances are top notch and deserves at least 3.place....

Who cares what u want

Gotta move up the standings

I only just grasped how devastating for him last year that they didn’t make the playoffs. I just checked his WHOLE history and……GOD DAMN!!! He’s been winning his whole life😂

No shade, but good defense on Luka is still giving up 35

@@chancelorhawkins80 Fair point but he does that to every team. If you go back and watch the offensive possessions where Claxton was the primary defender on an island, you'll see how well he did relative to others

@@kap1e246 fr I don't care if he's a good scorer or not, he'll be reliable for any team defensivley

@@kap1e246 Clax is good, but Cam defense is on Trae level...

I think holding someone below their average means you generally did a good job. It’s hard to completely shut down great scorers and playmakers

You know they were teammates and ppl only judge Luka by his interaction with with the referee

Agreed, he doesn't self-anoint despite being clearly better than a certain princess in almost every single category.

Kendrick Perkins has left the chat

“Let me tell you why Lebron didn’t have to try to score 40,000 points in the nba!” -espn probably

They not winning a thing until Luka can play consistent defense.

😂

thats what they said about steph and jokic, the best player doesnt need to be a good defender as long as the team constructed around them fits them.@@ry_an.

Kyrie is trash he’ll never win

​@@ry_an. As good as he is he don't have to just get defensive pieces to put around the duo

Indeed. The only reason it’s not done more is defenders don’t want to get crossed over. Hand checking isn’t the defensive ace move people make it out to be.

What JJ explained is still allowed, but what he explained wasn't 90s handchecking. You didn't have to take the hand off back then and thats the key. Don't misunderstand me, I don't think it would bother Luka at all. The way 90s guards countered the handcheck was to play with their back to the basket 25 feet out...Luka does that today because its just his game. So I think Luka would likely feel right at home with 90s handchecking.

My beautiful friend of the sport. As i played mayself in the late 90s and early 2000s, i know the difference. I was just making a joke. Just laugh with me about it and dont explain. Nothing against edjucation, but sometimes, things are not that deep, but just funny.

He did not describe handchecking correctly lol. No surprise the handchecking people talk about was way before Redick was in the league

That's not the handchecking that was done by some players before the late 90s. Some players literally kept a hand on players waists and put force in it to make it harder to move against it.

Luka knows it, believe me!

Relax

could be, he is really special

​@@Matt-28he's not wrong

he has counters to counters to counters so he just goes with the flow vs the defender

@@choiboi23 Yeah its like watching super computer at work. Really nice clean bball. really mind-blowingly beautiful to watching master at work. Even dissecting some plays later u cant critique some decisions. Almost perfect executions everytime.

It's crazy because kyrie scores the same way but one does it a snail speed while the other does it like a jck rabbit

But that comes from repetition in practice or just putting work in. The best NBA guys are able to turn what we would call premeditated into something of an instinct.

@@dennisthemenace855 yep and then kyrie reads the defender and whatever the help does he just adjusts, meanwhile luka is reading the help and what ever his defender does he adjusts. So they're doing the same thing but the inverse of each other, its so fun to watch and why their games complement each other

wouldnt say its too great when players get bailed out by refs.

Offensive players today have a ton of talent. But let’s not confused gimmicky skills for talent. Players have learned to foul hunt like no other and it’s based on gimmicks like rip throughs, and barreling into defenders while flailing, landing on the ground, or flipping your head back to exaggerate contact.

Uh, abuse the hand checking rule for easy calls? The whole point is the hand checking meant refs didn't make calls. If the level was "too great", then NBA players would be scoring way more than their predecessors in FIBA (which is more similar to the older NBA). Surprise surprise, they're not (and it's not on some long term upward trend like the NBA league scoring averages either).

@@jmgonzales7701how do “players get bailed out by refs”? Players today attempt less free throws than ever before. 29.1 FTA in the 1980s, 26.8 in the 1990s, 25.1 in the 2000s, 23.1 in the 2010s and 22.6 in the 2020s. So how does that compute?

@@janveidt2700 first is carrying. Second is travlling, third is flopping. Litterally players today get touched and its fouled. Players today are indeed great shooters. However in terms of everything else they arent any better. The game rules plus spacing makes them very dominant. Also adam silver himself wanted the league to be more scoring oriented.

It's literally his one strength. Everything else he's awful at

@@slimconfucius you can say that, sure. It's his one strength. but it's something Luka absolutely needs for the amount of times he comes off of screens. They can have 3 shooters out there, but if they don't have someone who can roll properly, it doesn't help Luka as much.

@@adingdingdiiing6740 Luka and Kai are two of the best ISO players in the entire league, they don't need an elite PnR guy, they need someone who is just decent at the PnR but can rebound and makeup for their lack of defense, Powell provides a good PnR but is a negative in the other two areas, there's a reason why their defense is a layup line when Lively sits and Powell is in.

@@slimconfucius there's also a reason why Dallas has constantly been signing supposed pnr guys over the years like DeAndre and McGee. That's why they deafted Lively. That's why Luka specifically mentioned in this interview that he needed Lively to learn that. They need that option. I'm not saying Powell is the best. I'm saying he's their best option for that particular play. Defense is another thing as no one on their team is a good defender, even the supposed "good" ones.

​@@adingdingdiiing6740just got Gafford and Washington

The delusion 😂

​@@JaGra-tm2mwobjective delusion 😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah, and he’s asking leading questions to Luka. He’d be a good lawyer or politician.

That's because it's true....ball handle/carry rules, gather step, etc has greatly changed offense.....im good with it but let's be real.

​​@@JB-un2iv really tho? He played with FIBA Rules (and referees) until he got to the NBA, he keeps playing (and winning) with those rules with Slovenia. I wouldn't say it would be an instant seamless transition but with players as good as Luka there's an argument for them adapting to 90s ball (I mentioned FIBA as there's a consensus of its physicality and no-nonsense approach to carry and flopping)

@@JB-un2iv Nah, he would have been the best player in the 90s and it wouldn't have been close. If you think otherwise you don't know ball.

​@@Alexander_Grant there was still players like jordan, shaq, vince etc. In the 90s so not necessarily the best, but for sure one of the league leaders for sure. Anyone who thinks he couldnt make it is just a hater. That goes for a lot of the stars today.

@@JB-un2ivmugsy bogues was able to score in the 90s bro….

At least Jokic, Shai and Giannis have better numbers, and are better defenders.

@@penkima4923 they dont habe better numbers? Nobody of them, the only numbers where they are better are team favored advanced stats

The eye test suggests this guy is the best player in the league. Those stepback threes are beyond ridiculous, he's easily the most relentless player in the league rn. Media can't deny him his mvp Era for too much longer. He's just jokic but a guard.

@@adolfBBC yes I mean you literally see magic when you see luka😂

@@sensei_... "they dont habe better numbers? Nobody of them, the only numbers where they are better are team favored advanced stats" You mentioned true shooting, and all of them have better TS. All of them have less turnovers and more blocks. Jokic and Giannis have more rebounds. Shai leads the league in steals.

The irony is that for the majority of the NBA’s history it was considered a travel. 😂😂😂😂😂

Ur right though but the first guy I think of decel is PG and that back foot draggggggg off his toe.

Slow step is typical ex Yu basketball move and Shamgod is Bodiroga move.

Taking away the Def3 would ruin the game. If you don’t believe me, look back in the 60s & 70s when you were allowed to station someone in the paint with no negative impact on your defense. It made sense without the 3PT line. You add that to the equation and you can’t really do that without getting burnt in the long run.

Lol, having your big guy stay at the paint then it's 4 v 5 in threes, so it will become easier to score more lol

@@prestoCreams No, cause NBA offenses now are based on drive and kick. A big man camping in the paint does a pretty good job of stopping the first part of the strategy. I don't get saying scoring would be easier. NBA players almost unanimously say it would be harder to score, the NBA itself changed the rule to make it easier to score, the coaches, GMs, refs, and commentators ALL say rules like the 3s made it harder to score, and Luka has said it TWICE. What secret knowledge do you have that they don't?

⁠@@gumballwaterson1957he’s comparing it to FIBA rules not 90s/00s rules though. Defensive 3 seconds was introduced in early 00s and teams still struggled to score lol. I think with the 5 out spacing that it’s much less effective.

@@newrecruit100 There's a lot of things going on with NBA scoring, but let's just look at FIBA. The NBA has been OPENLY changing rules to increase scoring, and it's stupid to argue with the guys who make their own rules that their own rules didn't make scoring easier when that's exactly what they wanted. The US team just played in a FIBA tournament less than a year ago. If 5 out was a more effective strategy for scoring, then the US team's scoring should be better than the past, i.e. they should be scoring more than their predecessors. They're not. There is no consistent upward trend for team USA's scoring, and just looking at the data any excuse you try to make won't be consistent. The most consistent answer aligns with literally what the league, players, coaches, GMs, and fans who've watched the game for a long time say: NBA rules make it easier to score when they take away physicality and 3s. FIBA play just adds evidence that it's moreso the rules than the players abilities since FIBA hasn't had as many drastic offense related rule changes/interpretations as the NBA.

gay af

@@andrewtheworldcitizenratio + yes you are

Yes and his point was that players still get away with that today... so there wohldn't be much difference

There's still hand checking today lol, you're just a dumb old head who just rants and doesn't analyze any games, clearly Stephanie A SMITH POISONED your mind and made you dumb like him

JJ takes things out of context a lot. The thing with hand checking is, it wasn’t just the elimination of it in the rules, it also was to eliminate physical defense and allow more freedom of movement in general for the offensive player. The hand checking rule is not only about being able to hand check, it’s a rule that has changed the game entirely over the years due to overall changes in how the game is officiated.

@@user-pq4dq6bj2u right but my point is he used a different definition than what someone like Gary Payton or Michael Jordan would say hand checking is. And he based that it was still happening on his own definition and skills, not theirs. My argument is that not everyone was a master at hand checking, so his definition doesn't cover what those aforementioned players were doing. And that players nowadays aren't still doing it/allowed to do it, at least at the same level and skill that a guy like Gary Payton or like a Ron Artest did. I do think to some extent guys do some light hand checking still that point is true.

@@back2back379 agreed but I think the point now is they may have taken it to far when multiple rules got stacked, like Luka mentioned the 3 second defense rule. Defense is historically bad and just this past week we had two 50 point quarters, the Kobe 81 anniversary week we had what 6 or 7 players go for 60 plus like it was easy, and I can almost guarantee at this pace we'll see a 200 point game.

nostalgia got them stuck in the past

Easy to be more talented when you're allowed to carryover, travel, lift your pivot foot, as well as rule changes like no hand checking, freedom of movement, gather step, etc. The game has been changed so much to allow offense to be what it is today, It's not because of "no defense", it's because the league made it this way... God i can only imagine how good players like MJ and Kobe would have been if they were allowed to do what players can today, it's actually a joke.

So explain why LeBron puts up better stats now at 38 then he did at 28 lol

Even the defensive minded jordan led bulls team would fail to stop luka from averaging a triple double against them

​@@JaGra-tm2mwbecause he has mkre space as every role player can shoot. Go watch those cavs games, it was basicly 9 players in the paint and Bron had no consistent jumper.

he would be good but i don't think he likes interviews

You are talking about that too early

@@lashaxoperia5917 I said In 15 years what's early in 15 years!! You want me to call you names bro !!!!!! Damn it English is not even my second language and i understand it perfectly!!! 15 years homie Nothing early in 15 years 😂😂😂😂

Imagine listening to Rob Parker lol

The answer is to not call fouls as much. Bc half these fouls are invisible.

To be honest it depends on which era of hand checking

@@rplayer360 Any pre-2004 rules (with the interpretations) are going to be harder to score. Period. The NBA intentionally changed the rules to increase scoring and nearly every single player who played through the rule change says the same thing.

So bring it back then if it wont matter

At the same time Luka would have been a top 2 player in the 90's easily

But 96 Jordan was 33 years old, playing in his prime. I believe too that he will score 40+ every game.

96 Jordan was perfect for the 90's. He would probably have to facilitate a lot more in today's NBA to be successful, hence why I doubt the 40+.

@@user-ho1vf6eu7c 96 Jordan was coming of two years break, he was still the best player but physically he was a shell of his late 80's early 90's self.

luka would be the best in league with mj in the 90s. so many players from the current nba would dominate the nba in the 90s, today players have a LOT more physical skill then older players.
