Why Luka Doncic is 'the best advertisement for the EuroLeague ever' | The Jump 

Lol right?

What did he do?

Truuuu

I think he's just gathering his apology letter give him a week or two

Soraw Goated where do I find the video if there is one?

He's the FOOKIN truth no doubt , I was kinda hoping he would fall to the Knicks but I guess not everyone is the 76ers

Shame on you...there's only one PAULE PIERCE !!!!

He'll be like a blend of Paul Pierce and a young James Harden. He plays like both.

Legod is the best ever some legends got no rings agree

That's true. Also, FIBA rules court is shorter and narrower than NBA court, and three point line is shorter for half a meter. Naturally, there is way less space. Whole offense has to work for every basket as there is very few opportunities for iso plays.

He's talking about basketball in the 90s or early 2000s which was way more physical than any time in Europe.

Wonderlandian completely true I watch both leagues

@Brian Abisdid 19 is young as fuck compared to grown men, calm down

Windhorst is a fat fuck that knows nothing about sports

gallinari ,greek freak,gobert and many others are also insane....

Thats true but you still have guys like Mario Hezonja, Jan Vesley, Dragan Bender, etc.

I had opportunity to watch Vesely live 10 years ago and I still do over TV occasionally. He was super talented player. He even used to play SF and shoot 3s. After Wizards, he could barely hit a free throw. Now he still plays high level basketball, but he is far from what he was and what he could have been.

As of Hezonja and Bender, they were never proven on a senior level. Hezonja barely played on Barcelona and when he did, he would just wait for a ball behind 3pt line. Bender couldn't even get minute on arguably the worst roster Maccabi Tel Aviv ever assembled. And he was there just because Maccabi's GM and member of coaching staff were Croatians.

Riccardo De Pieri Well said

Dude even the most successful companies do advertisements. Stop it with this "we don't need anymore people watching" attitude.

Riccardo De Pieri tbh American players are just better

@@y.a.46 Euroleague has its own advertisement, it doesn't need publicity for the American public, which will keep ignoring and disrespecting it anyway

ITT: Afrocentricity meets Eurocentricity. 🤗

38 Baby Luka is not what smart fans expected from Lonzo. Any “smart” fan knows that Lonzo is a pass-first PG. Luka is more of an all-around player that can do everything well. And since Luka has much better experience, he was bound to fair better than Lonzo

Naw fam. Lonzo's shot was broken in college but I see what you're trying to say.

You’re saying Luka Doncic is Steph Curry with a 40 inch vertical? 😆

@@eczotiic8026 saying smart doesn't make one smart, you only sound condescending

Thuro F.A.R. it may have been broken but he shot the ball a good clip in College he also would shoot deep, I remember 6 months ahead of the 2017 draft everyone hyped up Lonzo mostly his father and the media i like Lonzo Ball I don't have nothing against him but I find it hilarious how the Suns and Kings passed up on Doncic because they weren't sure if he could do it in the NBA.

KIDS FROM WHERE?

Hell no

I live there

Sorry, there are many more other countries in my priorities.

Alex Ocampo I agree

Ace Daddy yeah I will fool that’s my opinion

Hector Morones how they’ve all been giving him credit tho, stfu crying like a baby

Hector Morones they’re not hating it’s just that in the past the transition of euro league players hasn’t been great so they hesitate when considering them. But that’s changing.

Oh and americans before but after luka showing hes good they now loving him

Dirk Nowitzki is the ONLY European star to be the carry a championship team (and be a franchise player). Every other European star has been either a role player or a complimentary star to an American superstar (like Pau Gasol to Kobe Byrant). Most European players that have become stars in the past (including the Gasol brothers) don't seem to have the same competitive drive as some of the top tier American superstars. Not only that but the stereotype about them is generally true: they are high IQ players who are great at offense but suck defensively.

Most American media and ESPN were saying he should go number one dumbass

He used to take and make game-deciding shots for REAL MADRID. That's while playing with a bunch of players in their peak or right past it (some former NBA players). Imagine them trusting a legally-underage chubby boy with deciding the games for the team. It's crazy.

@@zybergis yeah man it's still crazy to think this 19 year old is as accomplished as he is. Most 19 year olds are doing the one and done in college. We might have a superstar in the making in Dallas.

How does it feel even now 😂

No doubt

Should be, but we know the NBA Paul Georges Westbrooks hardens will get all the votes. Still will vote for luka and derrick

OGGOAT_ _ nigga harden averaging 31 and Westbrook 23 10 9 on a winning team who tf is suppose to go over them

@@jdilla4591 well Luka has played most games as a pf, which last time I check is a lacking position in the west, with draymond missing so many games already and only other star are LeBron, KD, and Aldridge

They rarely give it to rookies and the west has some crazy talent so I would doubt it. If Ben Simmons didn't do it in the east I don't see Luka doing it in the west. He could definitely get in next year tho

YOU DON'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE HUH!👀👀👀👀

@@quentindillon953 Very ignorant comment

SO YOU START WATCHING THE NBA BECAUSE OF HIM AND NOT FAR SUPERIOR PLAYERS THAN HIM.WHAT OTHER LOGIC CAN I GET FROM THAT STATEMENT?

@Goka Gola Gommunism I DON'T DOUBT HIS PLAY BUT HE SHOWED HIS BIAS BY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT HE DIDN'T LIKE IT PRIOR TO HIM(PACIFICALLY) ARRIVING .

BurntRAM -💯

BurntRAM obviously lol, it's an American sport. Same with with a full white American, ppl would jizz in their pants thinking he's then next Larry Bird. Give us a break lol, there's been some bums who came from the euro leagues, but you guys made up for it with this one.

Facts

Stop Makin it sound racist

You wouldn't like him if he was Black.

A keeper

+Bo Rood If I remember, the ABA stats are merged with NBA because during the merger the ABA teams were treated as expansion franchises. I did try to look for factual information about this but I couldn't find it.

Barry threw a game in the playoffs after he saw that his teammates didn't help him not to mention his teammates said that he plays for himself

I see James harden in his play style. I think he'll learn how to get quicker to get around people just as harden does, because neither of them are elite enough athletes to out run or out jump anyone

I think it's because the suns didn't need a sf or sg but as for the other teams that passed up on him that's an L I can't explain

@@jxc9634 he is pg originally, played it in euroleague, he plays best on this position, dallas realizing it more and more and pg is exactly what the suns need right now, so you are totally wrong

What happens if you put DeAndre Ayton in the Euroleague at 13 and he trains everyday, twice a day??? Ayton didn't even start playing basketball til 16 (I think)... The Suns, took a guy they think that with NBA coaching can grow into something special... I get it. I thought Luka was a no brainer top 2 pick in this draft. I had him 1 & 1A with Jaren Jackson Jr, actually... but saying how can you even imagine DeAndre Ayton or Jaren Jackson Jr being better than Luka is a little crazy. It's possible... Now, the Kings passing on him for Marvin Bagley III, they will rue the day.

@@cortomaltese6250 just because someone played point doesn't mean they putting him there plus erouleage is a team oriented league so anyone can play point there since there user to playing like a team. No team who needed a pg was going to put him at point all the time maybe sometimes during a game but that's it

@bongo155 g league? Majority of europe domestic leagues are way better than g league

Exactly ! If Euroleague was not worth watching, then absolutely nobody would watch college basket ball

The second BEST league in the world is the spanish league !!

he only entered puberty, what, 7-8 years ago? Testosterone still has work to do on his body... in 3 years he'll start to enter his physical prime.

Lol he's 19 now or so I've heard. Anyway I think he's been playing pro since 16

He made his debut for Real Madrid at age 15. At age 16 he was already playing 14 minutes per game (games over here are 40 min instead of 48). At age 17 he started showing dominance and at 18 (last year) he won both the Spanish and Euroleague MVP, dominating both championships completely.

It's also the responsibility and confidence thing. He was already taking game-deciding shots in REAL MADRID. Imagine there having a bunch of guys, some of whom even used to play in the NBA, and they trust the under-aged baby-chubby boy to decide the games for the team. Everything that and more *before* he was 19.

Exactly. I think everyone thinks anyone new to the League is a 18 year old kid from college or maybe not from college. Doncic is a veteran more or less.

No we don't.. he openly said he didn't want to play for us or phoenix. and Heild is averaging 20 ppg shooting well.. You didnt give a damn about Fox until last month.. Luka was never on our radar.. We had 0 interest in him

@@grammysworld5449 He said fuck off to Vlade, thats all...He is clearly the most valuable pick, so you loose

@@grammysworld5449 I liked De'Aaron Fox back in Kentucky during the NCAA Tournament last year. I thought the Lakers should've picked him over Lonzo Ball. I'm excited that the Kings are doing well now. Sacramento deserves a great NBA team and I believe they were robbed in 2002. The Kings should've won it all in 2002.

Sony Ber Doncic destroyed competition in the Spanish League and the Euro League. The degree of difficulty is unimaginable especially for a 18-19 yr old. I'm really shocked people believed he was going to a bust.

Greek league is 3rd most competitive league in the world?Maybe in 90s,its surely not now.

@@stefantanasijevic1028 I'm greek but I definitely agree with you. Nowadays there are only 2 or 3 realy good teams in the greek domestic league due to economic crisis.

Great White Hope?

@@micahjohnsonboxing6409 he is an assassin from Europe..killing NBA at 19.

Muse Russell23 thank you for saying it. I resent Luka for some reason because of this, it’s not his fault, but dude had prior practice and grooming to get ready for the NBA, whereas our rookies on play 1 to 4 years of college, then can join the NBA. Even still college/NCAA competition is nothing compared to EuroLeague competition, so either way this dude has had an unfair advantage to me, and he’s being gassed up. I need to see pressure put on this dude before I can give him props.

MANOSH DHAR ...Fuck you asshole, don't disrespect that Sister!

I disagree I believe that the ex players that actually played in the NBA that helped the league become so popular deserve that job more than she does.

Let's hope so. The NBA is too complacent.

@@MrJflomario yeah man, i really wish EuroLeague and others Market/Advertise their league to the world so we can watch it more. Soccer fans dont really have this problem. When Ligue 1 is trash they just watch other leagues. American soccer fans do this too cause MLS aint that good lol.

@@martinmawi3134 They have probably tried already but the NBA is just too big. You can see the European influence in the NBA. Ball movement definitely matters morr overseas. China and Argentina too.

@@martinmawi3134 We getting there and were leading the way

The Mavs would not of drafted Trae Young at #5. Stupid comparison to link Luka & Trae Young. The Hawks for whatever dumb reason passed on Luka. The Mavs were targeting Wendell Carter Jr, Mo Bamba, or maybe an outside prospect like Mikal Bridges or another big at 5. They were hoping Jaren Jackson Jr would fall to them, because he up until draft night had said he would not sign with Memphis & Mavs were hoping Memphis would pass on JJJ. That didn't happen and ATL's asking price for the #3 pick finally fell at the last second and the Mavs swooped in and took Luka, who I have to imagine was top on their board.

I said this shit too !!

But he's the European version 😉

That's very premature... They said the exact same thing about Dirk when he was a rookie. Now, Dirk just happened to live up to it (and in my book, surpass Larry Bird. Dirk has done it for longer, and won his championship without the aide of fellow Hall of Famers playing in their prime)... So, I'm not saying Luka isn't going to achieve it, or at least that he's showing flashes he can be that player. Still, nothing pissed me off more as a Michael Jordan fan than hearing about how LeBron was better than MJ is his ROOKIE season?! What the hell, the kid isn't even 20 and people were talking about how he's the next MJ, probably will be better & listing all the things LeBron did better than MJ... Don't do that same thing to Luka & make people hate him by saying he's the next Bird. Wait til he's done it for 5 years, at least, before you start comparing him to top 25 players of ALL TIME.
