Luka always talking about staying together,, that a team thing,,,
Amen
Luka Doncic monster 4th quarter
On both ends. Very imimpressed
From 41 to 77. Unreal. Ive been happy for the Mavs since he got drafted. Hard not to root for them. Especially Jason Kidd. Good guys all around
Luka was clutch, showing he is the best in the world. will be for next 8-10 years. LeBron watch out
i love luka, but if you're talking about the scoring record, it's not possible.
8-10 years, Lebron will be almost 50
@@wstewpeople said Kareem’s record was impossible to beat. Extremely unlikely Luka beats but nothings impossible.
Bro said watch out like obviously he’s finna be 40 😭
Bro.. Not Lebron Bro, play for 20 years is I dont know..
Luka is the greatest NBA player I've ever seen. The Suns ruined their entire franchise by not drafting him #1 overall. He dominated a men's professional basketball league as a teenager. DeAndre Ayton was a nobody who took money to play at Arizona and showed no heart, especially in his NCAA loss to Buffalo (which I picked correctly, knowing Buff's up-tempo game). Stop drafting these big-for-nothings because you're afraid of them.
U must started watching 6 years agoo😂😂😂
😂😂 the greatest you've ever seen? Wow this must be your 1st year of watching Basketball
He’s gonna be one of the GOATs. Who knows. If he wins 6 championships, I wouldn’t be surprised. He is that good.
In an alternate universe somewhere Luka and Booker are the best back court in the NBA and suns win multiple championships 😂😂
@@peters4115 isn’t that crazy to think about
Luka all the way 🫶
Luka Magic Activated.
Luka Skywalker
Yoda Kyrie
Luka is the only MJ comparison
His game is more modeled on Bron
@@wilhelm4321 Except Lebron isnt a killer. Luka is.
@@nonospot838Here we go with this nonsense again
@@nonospot838The only thing MJ ever killed was his father, with his gambling addiction
@wilhelm4321 you're an idiot Jordan has 6 rings 6 finals MVPS 5 MVPS 10 Scoring titles and a defensive player of the year. Neither LeBron or Luka got that so yeah go sit in the corner and wait for daddy
Say what you all want. Luka has that killer Mamba Mentality
Luka not only controlled the game, offensively was great but his defensive game was amazing down the stretch. Keep in mind he’s doing this not 100% healthy.
Jaden McDaniels clamping up Luka is going to be the key to winning this series 🔒and I just don’t see Ant being able to stop Kyrie as well
Luka is a KILLER an insane passion to win just like MJ and Kobe. It speaks volumes that MJ, LBJ and Kobe love Luka. Luka is my MVP. ESPN trying to hype up other players so desperately lol
People saying Luka doesn't play defense
Now he's playing defense and cooking everyone 😂
Imagine tatum scored only 19 points media put him in jail lol
Tbf, at one point Tatum and pj Washington had the same amount of 25 point games as Tatum had
How does Luka cook the NBA with no athletic gene in his body. Oh yeah, Larry Bird did the same during his time but JJ said he was overrated. Luka must also be overrated. Sad that the NBA player has to fit a specific profile to be dominant.
Back in the days When Larry was playing No one would said he was overrated because Larry would make him pay in the basketball court for that. He was a killer and a smooth trashtalker
Larry Bird was the Most Feared Player Ever ... There's Not Even a Close Second ...
We need to start calling Luka - LUKA LEGEND. Seriously, he will be in the goat conversation by the end of his career.
@@Moucamyea, I don’t really like the Larry Bird comparison. Luka is paving his own way. Bird is an absolute legend. I understand the comparison but they are pretty different players IMO. Luka is still young too
There is different ways to be atheletic
What’s crazy is the Mavs did not shoot well and the Wolves did. In fact the wolves had a great 3 PT percentage and the Mavs had a bunch of turnovers. But because the Mavs have more dominant traditional big man play with 2nd chance points and paint points, they won.
Wolves made triple the amount of 3s and still lost. Them Dallas boys get cooking from deep it could be long for the Wolves.
Kyrie is the key to this series. If he disappears, Mavs lose the game. If he plays like this, it gives Luka a break and creates space/easier buckets for the role guys.
I feel like gafford, washington, and Hardaway jr can still go off too for about 20 points in some games. If they do, along with kyrie and luka going off, the mavs have this in the bag. I hope the role players turn it up and help kyrie and luka because they need everyone against a team like the wolves
@@raycutler2524 As much as I love those guys, outside of an insane outlier game, none of em will get 20 unless T-wolves start copying the Thunder scheme and traps Lu/Kai at half-court or starts blitzing every Pnr.
You don’t get what he’s doing. He can easily do what he did tonight cause the wolves can’t deal with him at all. Clippers & okc were set up much better to slow him down. So he picks his time to take over. Unfortunately for the wolves in this series he doesn’t have to pick his times. He can go grab 30 easy and then let Luka win the game.
@f0rtyy815 which they won't do because they have Rudy playing, if they try it they would get killed in the paint. They need to put Mc Daniels on luka, I'm talking full court press if they let the man's play comfortably like this kyrie might go for 40 next game
Currently the man's have two point guards who are also two shooting guards, who can both get there shots of separation. Timberwolves need to decide, if they will go small and sit Rudy, then use that small smaller size to push the pace or try to slow the game down and take away the paint, basically dare the man's to beat them from the 3 point line. Not very good options right now
DALLAS IN 5
BOLD! I like it! +1
F that. Dallas in 4. This is Luka time.
6
To take game 1 says a lot about their efforts on the defensive end. Go Mavs!
Whoever spoke to Kyrie and got him loving basketball again is the 🐐 for the Mavs. It's dangerous to play a team he's on. Plus Luka, that's too much of a mixture to handle.
The Wolves better be very careful playing them. Playing bigs won't help much against two perimeter superstars.
He's always loved basketball. He just didn't want to stick a needle in his arm and he also recommended a film.
Luka Skywalker the force is with him 😎✨
Luka glad dort is gone, no one's gonna tackle him, he is more comfortable playing.
Ant has not played well since Game 4 of last series. He ain’t no Jordan. Looked absolutely gassed. This is WCF man.
the path to an NBA championship has always been a mountain. Its the only sport where you have to fail in order to finally achieve. This is Minnesota's time to fail and learn before they ascend that mountain.
@@nonospot838
Except the Celtics are nowhere near as good as the Mavs if the game against Indiana was any indication, it was an absolute clown show of no defense and brick laying.
Ant Jordan comparisons are ridiculous, Luka is a certified killer and hes not half as monstrous as Jordan was in that regard, Ant is nowhere near Jordan, hes not even at his ankles, he dropped 16pts on 6/24 shooting against the Nuggets in game 7 and then taunted them, that's not a Jordan/Kobe thing to do.
Sometimes I dream
@DebasedAnon That's what I've been saying. Tired of the comparisons because mj and kobe talked trash, but only on the court, and BACKED UP that trash talk. Ant talks trash to the media about other players, instead of mainly talking trash on the court. That, and he doesn't have that same killer instinct mj and kobe had. Great player, but I'm tired of the mj comparisons saying he's the next goat, when you have other young stars like luka and Tatum who are better than him and have been better than him the past years. Even ja is better than Edwards, he just does too much stupid stuff outside the court. Zion would be better, but he's constantly injured
@@raycutler2524 well said he'll be alright just got to chill with the mouth and play other players saw how he tried Gordon in that press conference that wasn't called for to each it's own
Luka Magic 👑
That gas tank analogy question was brilliant! Let’s go SVP!
LUKA JORDAN
Drugs are bad
@snow-uq4gx I mean MJ and LeBron both said Luka is their favorite player in the league...so it's not like MJ and LeBron are stupid.
@@williamobando9967so did Curry
I find it strange that the media Never mentions that Luka took the Mavs to the Western Conference Finals in 2022. I wonder why that is?
Combined 63 points I think highest duo in playoff.
Against the number 1 defense lol
For this year, you mean?
Only 6 threes and still got the dub. Really impressive. Rebounding was phenomenal as well.
Luka led by example. And most importantly he played locked down defense!
Luka the real leader
Luka too young.
@@timeless74 and still the best player.Find i life
@@d.n8832 You edited it and still got it wrong 🤣🤣
@@timeless74 i dont care
Go Mavs!
I had Wolves in 6. If Edwards gonna be on that tired stuff, and Kat don't own his match-up, the Mavs will bury them. Kat has an advantage over every Dallas Big, but wants to sit on the perimeter and shoot 3s.
cat has no advantage over no one. he is a great nba player for the regular season and flash of awesomeness during the playoffs, he not built for the blood on the battlefield. he is a soft gentleman like Rudy Gobert. he might play cheeky or dirty sometimes trying to use his big brain but all and all he has no rurrrrrrrrr in him he and Rudy is a gentleman sport so with that said its tough knowing only 2 of ur 5 starters has any rurrrrrrr in them Conley a gentleman too a decent guy. no bite in them. so facts facts and this is a war where they know a sweep is coming but its on them to swing and hope for a showing as a good team.
this guy knows ball kat has no dog in him.
Have you not been watching KAT for his entire career? Hes scared of contact. Lively is a force in the paint KAT cant do anything with him.
@@marcondones1656 Like I been telling the internet Mavs in 4, only way we skinning the wolves to the finals
You see what I'm saying now family. even every bench player on my squad is a rurrrrrrrr right to the last man who is Morris Mark and he darn dawg lol. no nerds sway swag ballers on any court. haven't seen it and will never see it.
Glad to see cool hand Luka with team help, he can pick his spots to go for the dagger. Jkidd on chemistry. KATs go to move is the 3, he needs to offset that with an inside power move.
Lukas spot is everywhere
@@cheeseballs9579he means timing. Can’t score every possession
The Don!
I love luka kyri
even if the mavs don't win it all this year, i'm KNOW mavs fans are happy to have what they had in dirk again
Luka Luka Luka!!!!!!!
Where is Stephen A, the most delusional employee of ESPN ? Got hospitalised ? Luka and Kyrie domesticated some wolf pups and put them in a cage. The pups will stay quiet there, no more exesive noise on the parquet or media.
Huh? The Mavs won by 3 and the Wolves didn't even play well. They were flat, just throwing up 3s like it was a second night of a back to back in January.
@@mycompsci9288 You must be crazy. The Wolves hit all their threes and still lost. If the Mavs had been able to capitalize on the open shots they got, then this game would not have been close.
What’s funny is Luka and kyrie been playing defense entire season. Casuals just watch highlights and think they still don’t defend
Im a Knicks fan but i want the Mavs to win it all
Hope lupa wins champions
Where's all the MVP candidate's?
Yes Mavs!!!
People calling Luka not being athletic, don't know the meaning of athletic.
That's a point where we can see why Luka is crazy above average. He knows he could claim that leader spot, but, would that get him the ring ? He would rather learn AND give KY his proper flowers that act up in a hurry and demoralize one upscaling team. He's way more intelligent than the media and podcasts made you think. LUKA IS THE NEXT GREAT THING IN BASKETBALL... just saying..
Mavs got ball players locked it in Amazing win! Go Mavs!
The best player!!!
this guy is special
Luka is the real MVP this year way ahead of Jokic.
Doncic 2nd half performance esp 4th quarter is just wow. That’s why Ant-man doesn’t want to guard him. Ant-man alr out of breathe versus Kyrie. Probably he will not out of breath against Luka, but he will have no idea to guard him.
Luka is Bird Ant is jordan.
Jordan did not win to larry Bird.. 😅😅😅
Ant ain't like Jordan mentally. Jordan had killer instinct, I don't sense that from Ant
@@raycutler2524 yeah i agree, but most of stupid nba analyst compare ant man to jordan.. 🤷
@cloudstrife4604 Yeah I know 😂 The media wants to push him as the next mj so bad smh. Great player, but he's no mj, not in my opinion at least
they really just switched Kai and Luka's role, on the first half second half take over and it confused the Wolves
I'll be glad if I was going to war with Kyrie as my teammate too! 😂
MVP caliber
Luka knees was on fire 🔥. It was literally bleeding through the leggings.
Mavs in 6
Media trying so hard to Push ant man as the face of the league, face of the league doesn’t mean best player though, respect to ant, but he’s not on the level of Luka, Embiid, Joker and Giannis, he’s definitely above the Paul georges and Devin Bookers of the world, and on the same tier as KD, JT, and bron
2 straight bad games by Edwards. He should start playing great, this is not the Nuggets. This might be a matchup nightmare for them
Lets go Mavs 🔥🍀
Its funny how this comment maker kept on saying this sayin that but the trurth they can even handle a ball😂😂😂
Mcdaniels got cooked
What Luka does to defenses is always looked at on a play by play basis but over the course of the game he has done so many tiny things to put doubt in the defenses head. Looking there but passing here, faking the pass, faking a shot, little fakes everywhere. By the time you get to the end of the game they have so much extra to think about. Just an incredible player.
But this was probably the worst defensive game I have seen him play these playoffs outside of the Clippers game he was in foul trouble. But he still came up with clutch defensive plays at the end.
Wolves looked slow and tired.
Luka better than Dirk & Larry Bird but he’ll never win a ring unless he teams up with Ho-kic
Ky and Luka can beat wolves and Celtics
those are mj numbers
Ant Jemima got cooked by Uncle Drew
Only casuals hate luka
Mavs defense held MJ to 19 pts 😆😆
Walmart Jordan
When MJ faced Larry Bird jk stop comparing Edwards to MJ😂
Luka had terrible defense most the game with like 5 good defensive plays. The eye test is all i care about and I'm a fan on offense but on defense it's painful to watch him. He gets blown by at will but his teammates are defensive specialists but a lot of time it gets them in trouble. Wish he gave more effort on not leaving guys wide open
They’re not playing man defense. You don’t want your best offensive player taking a beating on defense like ANT did tonight.
Why don’t we hear about his weight issues?? He is in his mid 20s and lumbers around like 35 year old Larry bird.
Cry
Do you know what I find kinda funny? The 22 y/o "superathlete" Ant cries about being tired, while Luka, who is often criticized for his fitness/weight, shows up bigtime offensively AND defensively in the fourth quarter. :D
@@antifaschi7869 no one is questioning his talent. The young man is incredible but if this series goes 7 I don’t think his body will hold up. Imagine if he was in shape. I think it’s sad if he was black he would be called lazy and undisciplined but because he is white he gets a pass. I am a white southern male who is just calling it like I see it.
@@sonnynick1part of that is just his body type. He a big guy
Ant Man
22 years old.
Tired...
😑
I hate tatum but imagine he scored 19 and shot horribel also giving 30 to the guy he sakd he gunna lock up lmao
🔥
Rigged!!!!!
Luka too slow
They won. Kyrie too fast
why this bald dude got his own show
Visualization
Celebrate now, I'm sure Luka will screw this up somehow.
Awww, someone got the feels. Luka has Kyrie, so now he doesn't have to be the only good player on the roster. But hold that L bud.
Luka is literally known for being a playoff performer
now everyone acting tough when they are down.
