Luka Doncic is Not Normal

Рет қаралды 284,449

Күн бұрын

With every game, Luka Doncic seems to find more and more ways to break the game of basketball. The Dallas Mavericks have been on a hot streak since the Daniel Gafford trade and the PJ Washington trade, and a large part of that has been Luka Doncic taking his game to yet another level. With how wide open the Western Conference feels this season, and with the NBA MVP up for grabs, Luka Doncic is priming himself for a late push.
He's been thriving alongside Kyrie Irving as his running mate, finding new ways to make use of rookie Dereck Lively II and his post-trade deadline teammates.
If the Dallas Mavericks can put it all together before the postseason, it's gonna get scary for the rest of the NBA.

3:20 illustrates what true high bball IQ is -- his no-look is not just a flashy head movement to display passing prowess, it serves a clear purpose to completely bamboozle the defense using Kyrie's gravity. That's why watching Luka never gets old or boring: he adds a mind game dimension to hooping, always at least one step ahead of everyone.

People underestimate Luka's size and power. That's why a little bump will knock you off and when you're at his hip then you're in jail. He also has an underrated pivot game and since he's powerful and big, he can create space, draw fouls, find an open shooter or embarrass you with a fake pass behind your head.

It would be nice to have a defensive breakdown about Luka, he has been much better, he is TOP10 in 4 defensive ratings and although he is not a TOP10 defender, he is much better than people are giving him credit for. He is not good at off-ball defense, chasing guys but he is pretty solid iso and post defender, plus he has been pretty active on deflections and steals and some of them happening while defending the post.
