“I still wish I was a kid. You know you had no problems. Go to school. Go play baseball, that’s it” this sums up this season. He was clearly not having fun. And we all know Luka plays his best basketball when he’s having fun on court. Truly feel bad that Mavs couldn’t do better with the roster and rotations. It was a mess. Hopefully he gets some rest and come back strong next season.
Luka Magic!!!! He is something special. Crazy high basketball IQ. I hope you can find joy in playing basketball and continue to play because I love the way you play. You have your own flow that's different and it works like poetry in motion.
Generational is once every 20 years Tatum is without question better and was only draft d one year before him SGA has overtaken him and I'm pretty sure they were taken in the same draft... Trae young has had 2 better seasons than doncic out of the 5 they've been in the NBA... Young is a generational passer, way better than doncic at playmaking
Three things Luka needs going forward: - Above average defensive intensity in EVERY game, so that teams can't exploit him on the half-court offense - A coach who will hold him accountable while respecting his talent. Look at what Mike Brown has done with De'Aaron Fox (My recommendation: Ime Udoka) - Two types of frontcourt players: a solid 3-and-D forward (my recommendation: Jerami Grant), and an even more defensive pick-n-roll partner at the 5 (my recommendation: Jakob Poeltl) P.S.: The players I listed are unrestricted free agents next season. Cuban better get to work!
At this current point in time, he’s already a top 50 player ever. If, and hopefully, he wins championships and MVPs, he’ll be a top-5 player by the time he retires.
Best players in the NBA in order 1. Giannis 2. Tatum 3. Embiid 4. Durant 5. Jokic 6. Curry 7. Kawhi 8. SGA 9. Lebron 10. Jaylen brown "Luka" is not even a top 10 player in his own era yet delusional doncic dikriders are trying to say he has goat potential lol You will NEVER be the goat when ur an F on defense "Luka" is arguably the worst defensive player in the NBA and without question the worst transition defender Hel NEVER be the best overall player on a championship team Doncic will end up being a glorified Malcolm brogdon... An offensive specialist who would be the 6th man on an actual championship contender.
It won't. Mavs gutted their team after that WCFs run. They will be bad next season regardless of Luka/ Kyrie. Two players (essentially playing the same position) can't beat a team of players, especially with a roster around them that my girl could have done a better job of constructing..... & she doesn't even watch basketball
@@1capatter Luka is the sort of player that is very tough to build around. He needs the ball all the time, so you can't trade for another star who also needs the ball (like Kyrie) that would reduce their effectiveness. He also doesn't play defense, so you need 4 other players who are great defenders to cover his flaw. He also plays slow, so you can't get players that play run and gun for his team. He's a great player, but his limited style of play makes him very hard to built a contender for.
@@youngbae5187 That sounds more like what I would hear from an NBA analyst/ tv, it's nonsense. GM's have him as the top player they'd choose to build a franchise around followed by Giannis. They know a lot better than you or me. Mavs were literally in the WCFs last year starting thwo undrafted players. The squad is badly constructed. It was badly constructed before & got worse. Luka has a + 0.4 deffenive efficiency rating (literally a net tneutral/ doesn't help or hurt on defense). He ranked #3 among all PG's in defensive efficiency rating this season and was #1 last season. PG's can't defend as a whole, they're the first line of defense, it's a teams job to defend. The issue is, the Mavs only have four + defenders that play significant minutes. Kyrie (who is also a neutral defender/ his defensive woes are also a media hoax) , Josh green (who actually has a good defensive rating) and Maxi. When only two players are decent defenders (Maxi/ Green) then you are screwed. They also have no bigs/ rebounding/ paint protection. The Mavs bought in a GM with zero experience (came from Nikee), they are the only team in the NBA that has a GM that has never worked in that position or line of work before.... and are now paying the price. Mavs got many issues, the very last issue they have is Luka or even Kyrie for that matter
@@1capatter That's because Luka is the sort of player who can 1 man carry the team to relevance, but to be a perfect championship team, you need the perfect pieces for Luka, that is hard to find. This dude has Porzingis and Kyrie and played shyt with both. Lol. His weaknesses are glaring. Only effective with the ball, 0 defense, complain to refs, can't play off ball, slow down the pace etc. Giannis is able to mesh with everybody because he can play off ball catching oops and plays DPOY defense. That's the difference and why Giannis is a champ.
@@youngbae5187 Porzingis played wonderfully when he first got to Dallas, then he got injured again and was irrelevant his last playoff run with the Mavs. Achilles injuries are tricky and need time to come back from. Luka/Porz looked great their first year and posted the best offensive rating in NBA history at the time... then he got hurt. Kyrie and Luka look fine together to me (IMHO). Kyrie's putting up his best statistical avg in forever playing alongside Luka. The problem is the overall construction of the team. It's like saying LBJ and AD are bad to build around when the Lakers were sticking it up... It wasn't them, it was the team the Lakers constructed around them. As soon as they tweaked it, the Lakers went from not even being the 10th seed (playoff-bound) to being in the mix. It's not an accident that the Mavs were #5 in the West when they made the Kyrie trade & #4 before he suited up for a game... then stunk it up. They lost 3 starters on a team with no depth already. One player can't replace three players no matter how good he is, especially players that played a completely different role
I know why Dallas did not make it!! It is taking the blue and white color out if the Maverick emblem in the middle of the court that doomed them this season!!
he's not special today compare who he was last year... he's not muscular last year but hes good bcuz of his bb i.q... n this season he's no respect on going to the gym, keeping in shape, all he has is his pride that he is popular in basktball and no need of the descipline in the gym and keeping in shape... you cannot surpass Kobe or any legend if you dont respect your body in keeping healthy and being on the court competitively... this is not 1960, luka has no descipline in keeping in shape then they wont get in the playoffs period..
DALLAS CANT WIN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP IF THEY DONT HAVE A LEGITS RING PROTECTOR LIKE KAI SOTTO SCORING WILL NOT WIN CHAMPIONSHIP IF U DONT HAVE A DEFENSE DAT CAN STOP THE OTHER TEAM FROM SCORING ON YOU REAL TALK IF DALLAS GET KAI SOTTO LUKA AND KAI WILL TOO DEADLY TO STOP..
Luka ballhog needs to stop being a manchild and grow up. Fox, tatum and mitchell have surpassed him cause theyre more mature, meanwhile luka continues to act like a child on the court stomping his feet on no calls and showing off his trickshots after every dead ball

@PPena817 bout to win it all this year. 5 more. LFG.
Get this dude a center, Luka lose 15 pounds and stop bitching to the refs.... The world is yours if you want it.
Spittin facts
Give Doncic a team of shooters/wing defenders like Giannis and he would definitely win a championship too. Hope Dallas figures it out soon
He will come back stronger next year, Its all about learning.
At this current point in time, he’s already a top 50 player ever. If, and hopefully, he wins championships and MVPs, he’ll be a top-5 player by the time he retires.
he better not get lazy during the off season ..... I expect The Don to punish the league from the start to finish next year hahah
A little awkward since he's not in the Playoffs right now hahaha.

He's most likely the next face of the NBA once Lebron retires. Good luck Luka!
HOW IS THIS SERIES SO GOOD AND STILL FREE
If he loses weight, works on his defense then mark my words in next 5 years he will defintely be in top 10 of all time.
