I’m watching this in 2024, I can’t believe this was over 5 years ago already. I remember this game like it was yesterday

Luka Doncic - Step back three James Harden - Three back steps.

The most underrated thing about this whole thing is Harden airballing a three, and CP3 missing two free throws.

dirk can retire in peace Harden just discovered his kryptonite

Euroleague MVP vs NBA MVP

I was watching it live and just going ... bananas! This guy is unbelievable! Struggling the whole game, but when it matters, he was there. This is the definition of a star. He gets better when he feels the pressure.

I don't think I have ever seen a rookie before erupt like this in the end of the game... what a player!

luka then : thin, agile and scores on everyone luka now: big mac but still scores on everyone

"This ain't no ordinary rookie"

This kid is literally a mycareer player on 2K just unreal lmao

this is the game you know luka is taking over the league in a few years...with a game down 8 in 3 minutes, where you score 10 points, not shooting well in the whole game, you decide to takeover the game with you sheer confidence. Superstar gene is right there

He show Harden how to do proper step back.

i can not believe this was 2 years ago lmao. i still remember screaming watching it live

This was honestly the one of most impressive stretches of clutch scoring. It’s definitely somewhere up there with T-Mac’s 13

I think every great player has one game they can consider their "defining moment" where the world gets put on notice that we're seeing a superstar in the making. This was Luka's.

This game should have been a massive red flag for the league. Calm, composed and absolutely torched the Rockets who were en route to make a deep Playoffs run.

Three years later, Luka beat Paul up again. Luka is always clutch, while Harden and Paul basically always chocked.

Dallas is blessed. Dirk now Luca. What a great kid

i will never forget this game.

the last three minutes were magical. .what a moment to remember. .and it was done against the vaunted and premier rockets. . and luka was just 19 and rookie at that. . . . . . . .the mav's fans were stunned by the magic and did not line to exit but wait to have a last glimpse of their new god passing them for the dugout. .

2:43 - "If you don't know, now you know!" Legendary phrase for the incoming legend.

Houston we are 4 minutes before landing, everything is looking great... prepare the champagne... Houston we are 3 minutes before landing, there is unknown thicc white object slowly orbiting around us... Houston we are 2 minutes before landing, this white thing is firing at us... please advice... Houston we are 1 minute before landing, we can not stop him, please advice... Houston we have a problem, he just burned us, we are crashing, we are crashing down....

I could watch that step back a 100 times and not get bored of it.

This game made me a fan

2:38-2:44..."Simply priceless!" We miss you Dirk (walked over there like a Dad getting hyped over his Son 😂)!

This is damn beautiful, i could watch him all day

this player gonna bring the mavericks back to greatness just like Dirk did

Finally !! The first game, when the entire Dallas team trusted Luka. All team of Dallas played top shit.Goo Mavs.Slovenia with you.I am in love with Dallas team

Fresh out the podcast. Man he just said this was the start of the stepback

This kid is gonna become one of the greatest basketball player of all time. He is just ridiculous.

Only one word to describe this bloke 'GREATNESS". Definitely my 2018/19 NBA ROTY

The drive that tied it was just to set up the go-ahead step-back. This young man was playing chess.

Well done Slovenes, nice talent you have there. Cheers from your Croatian neighbors.

Here after luka's interview with jj redick

Hope he stays in Dallas for a long Time. Luka Boulevard or Doncic Avenue sounds good. It seems European Players are made for the Mavs.

In just a few years, he's legitimately in the MVP conversation. Damn, barring injuries, he's poised to be one of the top dogs in the league.

the game luka practiced the step back

This was official start of respecting him in NBA.

who else is here after watching his interview on JJ’s podcast

He can live with pressure for sure

Handsome luka doncic😍

Still watching this 2 years later. I was there I will never forget this game.

This is when a legend of the NBA started

Thé beginning of Luka's legend in NBA for me

I`m watching this in end of december 2020. So, best in 2021 for all of bb fans. Greetings from Slovenia.

Here after taking the Suns to a game 7 and eliminating CP0

I personally do not see him as a rookie, he simply cannot be compared to any prospect coming from NCAA. Luka has more important games in his legs and head then any kid coming from NCAA. Still do not understand this amazement by his performance by US media...for love of God he was an MVP of European League. That is not a bush league... I'll tell you this thou...it is one thing to drop 24 points and completely another to take over last two minutes of the game like this. You have to be born as a leader, that you cannot teach. I agree with some of the statements made by US basketball experts calling him biggest prospect NBA has ever seen...

Still here seeing Luka magic showing greatness..

Watching the ending again in 2022 has different feeling 🤤🤤

Looks like he's the real deal

1:23 it looks like harden says he’s got to score eleven

Luka legacy game

Remember when Steven A Smith said rookie Luca would be better than prime Harden? What a great talent evaluator!😅

End of when Luka walking into the fan at the ending of Great Game. Seeing all those different faces every time, knowing you got the Job Done and Its A Blessings. Should be a special feeling. For The Dallas Mavericks

His step back jumper is mean af

birth of Luka's stepback

rookie of the year.. luca doncic 😁

The top 2 GOATS look at Luka with a level of respect that is not normal. Perhaps they can see their next GOAT.

Let us notice D.Jordan picked up every rebound except Hardens airball. He was big part of the turn around indeed.

Still amazing how a rookie PG used his size against PJ Tucker in the paint, he really had loads of end game experience in Europe and proved that he is an MVP

Here after hearing Luka told JJ that this was the first time he really tried the stepback

The Day they took notice of the next King.

this was even better than the game winner against the clippers

1:08 Not only was that not a foul, Chris “max contract” Paul, missed both free throws.

he is amazing

DONCIC=>He gets better on crunch time... Star player/MVP in d making!

i think this is where luka's stepback went famous

Coming back to this after hearing him speak on JJ Reddick’s Podcast

Haven’t watch nba since Kobe left, it’s fun to watch again this kid must see tv!

Intense!!!!😊😊😊 Congratulations 👏👏👏 dallas, specially, "Luka Doncic" and the Team.....

Never gets old😎

На игру этого парня можно смотреть вечно,не отрываясь на других.Что он творит,это просто волшебство какое то.Какой он классный 👍🤗👏👏👏👏🏀

I love the 3-point shooting, I mean the air ball from J.H. That is exactly the signature of a fake super star.

Came back to see this game after JJ's podcast. Dayum Luka was hella skinny XD

He is the Larry Bird of this era.

When you're just a rookie and already a legend.

Luka's stepback is brutal

Your superman idol luka

When you see Luka in big moments,you just know in your bones that ball will go into the rim....

This is the game that made Luka into a star ⭐

Luka Dončič from SLOVENIJA!

Luka did both of Hardens patented moves on the same defender 🔥🔥🔥

I'm so crying last night open vedio tiems dallas 77

1:22 harden says Luka has no left...

Love it! From Lithuainia

How did Luka celebrate after the game? with some fortnite games!

James Harden and CP3 at their best 😂

One of the first moments that let us know we were seeing the guy that was going to define an era in the NBA.

And the legend begins

Halleluka!

Here in 2023, Luka is so good😭😭

Not ordinary, I can see him winning atleast 2 MVP awards. However it depends on the media and organization

The day the legend of luka begins.

Before top Luka doncci

Watch out for Luka Doncic is the future All Star. This man is better James Harden he is a special player

Luka gonna be the GOAT

Luka magiiiiiiiic!

well played Dallas well played

1st 3 quarters : 3/12 FGs. 4th : 3/4. That's a clutch player.

The legend says Luka is still cooking Harden.
