Luka Doncic Had The Greatest Game in NBA History!! 

"Why can't people just admit that 24 year old Luka is just an offensive basketball savant?" People do admit that. If there even is anything to admit. Dude is averaging 35 ppg, and has been praised for years. A more interesting conversation is, that is Luka too dominant with the ball. As in, is he hogging the ball too much? Does he force his teammates to conform to his system too much? I think Luka might be a hard player to find complementary pieces for. So in that case, not quite the perfect offensive player.

​@@penkima4923It's funny you should mention that since MJ was also known for being alpha, taking the ball into his own hands and doing the job while having high usage%. 100% if social media was around back then.. everyone would call MJ a ballhog

@@johnwild8217 MJ handled the ball less than Luka, because Pippen and the smaller guards brought the ball up-court a lot for the 90's Bulls. In the 80's, the media didn't call MJ a ball-hog, but the Bulls was called the one-man team. Which the Bulls were. Although, that may be a less negative way of saying the same thing. The team had such a trash roster, that mostly just haters would've called MJ a ball-hog, if there were social media in the 80's.

@@penkima4923 But there is a difference. Luka is a playmaker, and one of the best ever. MJ was not. Big difference

@@toshirohitsugaya857 Luka needs to play less as a play-maker, when he wants to start winning championships. MJ is a champion, and one of the best ever. Luka is not.

Nah Kobe was fa sure doubled every time he came down the lane he just had emaculate foot work

They both good games I doubt that was the plan because Kobe was never alone and he was doubled. For those who play sports ya know let others shoot all the shots and minimize the best player from shooting

Facts! Went back and watched it, and the defense Kobe faced looked worse than what Luka was dealing with in Atlanta. Not to mention that Kobe was really going for it hard, stat padding until the last seconds of the game with his team up big.

Clearly you haven't watched it

You didn’t watch the game

It’s actually wild all the excuses getting made up for his performance lol

Its about the NBA not having hardly ANY player that actually defend. Luka scoring 73 is great but it also not a suprise, I expect him to score 100 soon because no one wants to put forth EFFORT.

Remember earlier this season he was saying Kyrie is the best player on the Mavs, he hates him😂

He hates Luka. He even said that Kyrie is way better than him and is the #1 option in Dallas

all them was glizzie gobblin every other player scoring 60+ but when luka does, his whiteness blinds their eyes. same with bich a55 SAS.

Pattern. Pattern. Noticed it with Stephen A Smith too. If ANT scores 73 on 76% against the ATL. He would gobble that up

Luka is getting respect, but there still isn't any defense played in the league. Both things are true.

​@@penkima4923I don't hear any respect. They just spent a 15 minute segment talking about how bad defense is. Not one thing about Luka.

Lmaoo great time stamp. I’m at the part rn 😭🤣💯

This is my first time seeing this show and I'll probably never watch it again after hearing that. 🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like K-Mart had a good point. And I'm not watching the game to check.

Bro this shit crazy the hate is to real for my guy#77

Unbelievable😂😂😂 When he said « i didnt watch, i was doing something »

U can't be the goat being a defensive liability. Sorry basketball is played on both sides.

Yeah watch the game they weren’t even playing defense, if you watch Kobe 81 he’s getting doubled and tripled

To be fair i watched the full fourth quarter and they were hard doubling him and dejounte was face guarding him full court the whole 4th

To be fair i watched the full fourth quarter and they were hard doubling him and dejounte was face guarding him full court the whole 4th

@jiggafromstatefarm9997 Jalen famously guarded Kobe 1 on 1 for long stretches of that game. Way more than you would ever think. The rule changes make it so you can't compare the two really. In 2006, hand checking was gone but still transitioning out and way tougher to score with crowded lanes and actual physicality. Can really only honestly compare games to Luka's within the last few years.

It’s sounds good but Kobe getting 81 was way more electrifying and legendary imo

8-13 from 3. 15/16 from the line.

doesnt matter defense is atrocious they avg 115ppg only avg 96ppg when kobe did it

@@MichiganHendoughshut up bro

@@orangejuice20133 hop off bro

Sheryl knows what she talks of. And probably watched the game. The defense was laxing, as it normally is in today's league. That makes it hard to compare the performance with Kobe's 81 point game and other great performances in other eras.

​@@penkima4923lol, check out old video "story time with Jalen Rose", where he talked about Kobe's 81. They played zone the whole time, didn't double team him, coach benched Rose when he tried to post up Kobe on offense to wear him down.

Luka scored 50+ points over the best defensive players in the league, at the age of 20 he tormented the Clippers in the first playoff game, who had at least three top defensive players in the lineup and made a 43 pt triple double on them, and scored a buzzer beater in the last second, so this guy who is talking about what he would do, it is clear that he would do shit, because Luka would also score a 50+ triple double on him. Some people just can't understand that Luka is different and that he is a generational talent, the type of player like they have never seen before. These frustrations are really abnormal, and the hypocrisy and double standards are obvious.

@@zoranmarkovic1123 Nah tbf Kenyon agreed they can't stop them, and that offenses/offensive players are much better, he just wants them to try a bit more, he doesn't want stops, he just wants them to force adjustments more...

Nobody cares he's white, we care that todays era has no defense and it's easier than ever to score, so by default we have to shave off 20 points if we compare the performance to past eras. And Luka was drafted in 2018 when the NBA already started handcuffing defenses (The NBA started handcuffing defenders in 2015 or 2016), so when you talk about the "best defenders", those defenders were only able to play defense at like 50-60% of what they could actually do if this was the mid 00s or the early 2010's when the league allowed players to play legit defense

White and blonde 😅 and yeah I agree with you. They even have the guts to say they didn’t watch the game. And this lady should just di herself a favour and stop embarrassing herself.

They were all saying that the defence wasnt there but they never never said what they would do how they would defend

@@WarriorKidd06 so what I respect everyone I even respect you but playing basketball in a certain era makes you say dumb things like that. Looks wise she s from that 90s era of course she ll say it was tougher in her era and maybe that’s true in certain aspects but that doesn’t explain why Luka is scoring easier because if she paid attention to detail she knew the more aggressive Luka is defended the easier it gets for him scoring wise. someone athletic and who is on his feet will always be dusted, he makes athletic players jump like cheerleaders through decelerations and pivots and if you too close he will fake you out and send you another direction with his shiftyness. She doesn’t even pay attention to the player profile she just throws out bold statements because it’s the era she was active in, players say a lot of stupid shit due to their egos and legacies like look at Paul Pierce or Perk it makes them former basketball players who like to brag but definitely not wiser.

Jalen Johnson didn't evne play him that bad. He contested a lot of the shots pretty decently. Luka is just insanely good.

@@ichirosuzuki2252 You went a tad too far. Jalen Johnson is a bad defender, on a bad defensive team, in a bad defensive era. That's why it's hard to compare Luka's performance with, say, Kobe's 81. And I've been saying this for years. But sure, many people hasn't been complaining on the defense before. And I think Luka could make it to top-10 all time. And he could make it to my top-3, because I don't just count rings like everyone else.

Luka won't win the MVP, until the Mavs make a trade and get a better record.

Thats a great perspective. Makes it way crazier. Doesnt say anything about lukas performance tho

And Luka scored 73 on 76% shooting.

and in era where guys were allowed to play defense right in your face

@@dmvbawse4265with rarely any defense being played

Luka had a TS% of 91%.... while getting doubled and denying him. Go watch the defense Kobe faced in that game.

Gotta love the new heads. It looks too easy, because there's no effort on defense. And the players don't know the theory of defense. And I love Luka.

Only if Kyrie sits out those games or has a terrible nite. They have been sharing the load these past games.

And he was right.

They def are not trying their hardest.

K-Mart's opinions were correct.

But according to him "real basketball people know Kyrie is the better player" 😂 bro hates that a white boy from Europe dominates like that. The same for Gilbert

If Doncic is black he'll have different opinion. I hate people from the west. They scream racism but they don't see themselves.

Meanwhile Luka did it getting doubled all the 4th quarter and while assisting his teammates in 15 less shots and without grinding for FTA at the end of the match. Defense was shit in some games back then too, but 3-pt specialists were scarce unlike right now and that opens the defense and the paint a lot since it forces the defense to cover corner 3s up close instead of waiting near the paint.

Huh?

You're correct, the 'no defense' argument is definitely biased. As defenses became less physical and rules changed, defensive schemes became smarter and more versatile and the players changed becoming WAY more athletic alongside tall 6'7 guards, etc. Imagine watching Steph light up a 2003 NBA defense; they wouldn't know what to do. Offenses have never been more more efficient and skilled and we're seeing it as a reflection in the stats. People fall in love with their era, in 10 years people will be talking about how LeBron played basketball like a man and went against dominant players and in 20 years people will be talking about how Luka and Wemby 'played the game the right way' or innovated or whatever argument people come up as the game evolves into what knows.

Nobody's comparing todays' NBA-defense to pro am. 10 years ago there was some effort left in defense in the NBA. Today there's none.

@@penkima4923 I disagree. Did you watch the Lakers vs warriors game?

@@meaux-kneaux I saw some highlights. Are you referring to AD's rim protection? But he didn't hustle back and stood in the paint too much. And he's their best defender.

He wants to draw in the younger folks. He knows a lot of guys harp on the older nba he wants to stand out by caping for the new stuff because he can get the younger demographic who believes everything that happens today is the greatest.

Lol what. These idiots were mediocre players. No students of the game.

Yeaah you obviously did not watch the game. Granted Hawks is not a good defensive team, but to say they did not put defensive effort in guardling Luka is BS. Murray and another defender was trapping him in the half court multiple times. Capella literally tripped in his own feet since he was trying to catch up when Luka was driving. This whole BS was non-existent when Embiid drop 70 against the bottom dwellers Spurs, but suddenly people has issue when a white guy drop 70+ to an obviously better team than Spurs.

@@leonarronquillo593 yeah I obviously did watch the game. Hawks defensive effort was horrible. Luka did w.e he wanted. I said the same exact thing when Embiid dropped 70. Spurs defense was horrible.

And whose fault is that?😂 If most people see Sadiq Bey standing next to luka, youd assume he would lock him up lol, and they did double and triple him at times with different defenders, Luka was just on fire that day

They literally did not. 😂 Holmes trapped Capella in the paint and JJ was behind Luka and he was being careful not fouling (considering Luka is known to change his pace suddenly). Which leaves a 6'3 Bogi as the only defender in the paint. He is not stopping a running 6'7 player lol

No there’s no defense. Do you really think if hand checking was allowed guys would be scoring like this! This is exactly why everybody born in the 80’s like myself say MJ would’ve averaged 40+ a game easy in todays NBA

Hand checking, freedom of movement has changed the game is you don’t see that your q fool. Thats why when players play the world they don’t score as easy. Don’t get me wrong 73 is skill but 50 game now is a nothing burger 🍔 now when team scoring is around 140!

Are you drunk or were you born in 2013? Lol, no it's easier to score because the NBA handcuffs defenders. Obviously that allows people in the NBA and people coming to the NBA to be more offensive minded and work on pure offense, doesn't change the fact that it would be a lot harder if the NBA allowed guys to play defense again. If you're not half a foot taller than someone you're guarding plus a wingspan advantage to block shots without being near them, you're pretty much out of luck on defense. All you can do from there is try to cut off passing lanes or pretend to play defense

@@howarddickersonjr.6994 Hand checking has been dead for a long time, it's not even about handchecking, the NBA doesn't allow you to get within 6 feet of a guy anymore without being called for a foul, at least in the 00s and early 2010s they allowed defenders to get up close. But Jordans 61 against the Celtics, with both zone defense and handchecking allowed plus physicality is the equivalent of 100 today

Y’all thinking hand checking is stopping scoring NOW is what a fool really sounds like lol
