It’s crazy when you think about it, how a shot that used to be illegal and is the closest most high percentage shot you could take, gets everyone so pumped up.
The fact y'all are labelling Luka's Real Madrid years as "high school" is so disrespectful... That's the best club in the second best league in the world. He was playing against grown ass man, including US imports that were either stud in NCAA few years prior or even ex-NBA players, not against 16yo kids thinking about their upcoming exams...
@@weak6225 maybe because there is like 25 clips of players in aau an only one of a guy in euroleague? That's like basic math. Or maybe that's because you don't really know basketball. Cause on the clip of Luka he's playin against Barcelona; if you count both rosters and exclude Luka, you actually have a total of 11 players that played in the NBA, plus Sergio Lull who could have played there if he had wanted (he refused NBA contract on multiple occasions). I doubt that you can see that density of NBA players in any of those AAU clips, and we are talking about grown ups here, guys that had that level at that time, not teenager that would eventually become NBA players in the future.
@@weak6225 well that just show your lack of bball knowledge, because if you combine Madrid and Barcelona (the team Luka is playing against in the clip) rosters that year, you end up with 11 guys (not counting Luka) that have played in the NBA. And you have to add up to those guys like Sergio Llul (one of Euroleague's greatest player of all time, who declined NBA contracts on multiple occasions), Felipe Reyes (who was a starter with the Spain National Team that was close to beat Team USA in 2008 and 2012), Jaycee Caroll (who was one of the best shooter in the world at that time), ... and they were all grown ups, not teenager that would eventually end up in the NBA in several years.
Luka has never played in high school. He was a professional basketball player for Real Madrid the best euroleague club at 15 years old. He was already playing at such high level basketball as a kid.
To be fair. I think it may be titled wrong. Cause if you want to be technical some of these aren't high school games. They are league games, invitationals, and all star games. Luka was playing against men but if the person said NBA players as teens woulda been better. But someone was gonna complain somewhere in the comments some way.
