Luka is not an average three point shooter. 38% on 10 threes a game is elite. Especially when you consider the difficulty of his shots
For his career though he is around 33%-34%
That’s average now though.
@@griplimit38% is NOT average now and especially not when he’s self creating all his 3s
He sucks at wide open 3s though lol
That's bonkers. Some Ray Allen setup plays. But he creates this shots himself. Mind blown. These players these years are really stepping up.
Everybody is missing the fact that even though he had 8 less points than Kobe, he had 76%, 4 more rebounds, 5 more assists, 13 fewer shots and one more made 3 with the same amount of 3 point attempts. It might top Kobe’s 81 to some people.
Kobe also didn't really get double teamed that game. Luka was double or triple teamed every time he touched the ball in the last 10 minutes of the 4th quarter.
This is exactly why the NBA raitings are going down hill smh. Kobe scored 81 and had to guard on the opposite side of the ball. Luka was giving up azz on the defensive end, and the defense is nowhere near as intense as it was. I don't understand how y'all can sit there with straight faces and find this brand of basketball entertaining. Even Larry Bird as slow as he was played excellent defense hell he averaged more blocks per game then Lebron James. I don't think a lot of yall have the slightest clue what you're watching which is why you're so impressed by it smh
When Kobe scored 81, it was a career achievement to score 50 points. A 60 point performance happened once every 2-3 years. 70 points were deemed impossible to reach.
Now we had two 70 point and two 60 point performances in a week.
And you're trying to tell me that this is more impressive than Kobe's 81?
If something happens twice a week it can't be that impressive.
@@hilriekempdon’t watch then bro
@@slebnation2035 shut yo dumbazz up the only team I watch and give af about is the Lakers anyway. But what said is just a fact and idgaf if you don't want to hear that's just what it is. I'm sorry that you're just to much of a casual to actually understand what's happening on the court smh. The league will revert back to being defensively orientated in 15 to 20 years like it always does and they'll be talking about how this era was one of the easiest offensively. So enjoy this trash while it lasts
Calling Luka an "average" 3 point shooter is insane.
Dude is shooting 38% on 10 mostly self-created attempts per game.
That's not "average".
BBall Index has Luka as the best 3 point scorer in the NBA this season.
Luka is one of the 2-3 guys who take the most contested 3 pointer shots in the league. He might not have +40% but he almost never shoots an open 3. When it comes to weird looking shots, Luka is probably the best. He also practices those stupid shots.
@@berryesseenyea i was genuinely surprised when i heard from 2 different teammates that he actually practices the crazy shots he make in game
@@rileylagerstrom9843 he had a ridiculous buzzer beater 3 pointer shot where he had a big jump inside the 3 point line (looked like a long layup). It was that moment when I realized that this guy is crazy when it comes to ridiculous shots. I would trust Luka more than anybody including Curry for a last second well-defended shot. He is built to hit those.
He has the 2nd most 3s of all players this season
He is just about league average in open 3 point percentage (for his career) so that is what Bball is talking about.
I’m a Hawks fan at the game last night..I had to finally come to terms that we made a mistake on draft night ..
Lets be honest Luka isnt a good fit for ATL he probaly would have been asked for a trade he's perfect for dallas and mark cuban
Took you that long? Lol
@@anubis4032you realize they would’ve made different moves if he went to Atlanta lol. He’s a top 3 player in the league. Let’s not act like trae is close to that. He’s a fringe all star
Trae Young is literally a traffic cone on defense
Watchu mean, Trae Young is the next Steph Curry who will bring chip for the city! Give the guy another 10 years to mature and he will show and prove!
I still remember before the draft those comments about how Luka is not athletic engouh for NBA 😂
Thank you for this video. ESPN's take on this game was an absolute embarrassment the way they hated on Luka.
What they say? I'm tuned out of all that
What’d they say, was it the same old SAS racist BS again lol
@@廖俊翔-e1wStephen a. didn’t give Luka any credit and just called it a layup line. Another idiot said that nowadays everyone can score 60
@@Cyrusislikeawsome th-cam.com/video/9FE2YBwIo8U/w-d-xo.html
Because he's white
What's wild is his usage wasn't that high compared to other massive scoring games. If he had the same usage as Wilt's 100 point game (and kept his efficiency), he would have also gotten 100 points with far less shots... as the pace of play is no where near as high as the 60s.
If they gave you a 10 minute spot on ESPN or TNT I think NBA viewership would get a huge boost. You really bring out what is so interesting about the league.
Agreed
I cant believe people arent giving Luka any credit! What does this man half to do to get some respect? Maybe the reason why Luka destroyed the Hawks defense is because is pace! Ever thought maybe his awkward pacing is the reason why hes unstoppable? Accoriding to the media, "theres no defense". Its funny how no one said that after joel scored 70 or when KAT scored 62, only when Luka scored 73 is when all the people said, THERES NO DEFENSE.
They just don't like him cause he's not American, and White, clear as day.
You never get credit by the fans unless u win a chip
I completely agree…Joes 70 happened against one if the worst team in the league but for Steven a smith it was a hard fought one! Complete BS he had so many fts on top of it….
Most people have Luka in their top 4, he gets plenty of credit
@@johnsondoeboy2772 Joel never won a chip lmao, neither did KAT
Can we acknowledge that Trae Young is an absolute traffic cone on defense
Nah his defense is so elite he turned Ben Simmons into a triple single average player
He like 5’11. What you expect?
Is CP3 a traffic cone? I mean nobody expects small guards to block shots, but at least STAY IN FRONT of an opposing player! How can one be small and also slow at the same time???
@@viktorianas at this point yeah 😂
He actualy used to be one of the best defensive guards in his prime@@viktorianas
Idk about you Coach, but we would’ve been running for weeks if we played “help defense” like the Hawks did. Insane.
It's not like the Hawks played bad basketball, Luka was just unstoppable.
It was both
Luca is insane, pure magic👏👏
Luka is the real GOAT and the real King! The only reason I am watching NBA these days is because of Luka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been saying since 2018 that Luka is gonna end his career in the GOAT conversation 🐐 haters laughed then, are they laughing now?
gotta be racist
@@deecee2174 to be the GOAT you need to win and except his western finals appearance it's pretty poor right now. Most people don't think he will ever win a championship let alone the 4+ you need just to enter the conversation. He will probably end his career in the top 40 if he does'nt win anything and in the top 15-20 if he has at least title + FMVP, it's above players like Dirk and still behind players like Durant and Olajuwon (more titles). It's not easy to acheive greatness, he has talent but it's not enough.
he doesn’t even get back on defense it’s a 4-5 everytime he score becuz he complaining to the refs
"This might have been the best defense all night" 😂😅
A lot of people on this comment section are NBA all star caliber. I think they should play on that game and tried to guard Luka, and let's see what can you do? Luka can easily destroy double on him. He's a good passer. I'm talking about The clippers playoffs. If the Hawks focus guarding him, I think they will L by 20....
Hawks defense is trash overall but its not like Luka hasnt proven he can dissect elite defenders. Good point!
Small note, but I just want to remind coach nick how much we appreciate the synching of the shots to the music in the intros
73points from 33 shots ? are you crazy
Damn… imagine if the Hawks could’ve drafted a player of Luka’s caliber. If only they got that opportunity.
😂😂😂
@@rhodwilliams7258I agree with u... Atlanta with Luka would won the chip that year when Atlanta was in the final conference...
Shout out to that guy who got thrown out for telling him to hit the treadmill. He bears some responsibility for this.
In what world is the guy with 2nd most 3pm in the league this season an "average shooter"? While shooting over 38% from almost exclusivly self created shots and including a bunch of last second heaves. Wild statement.
That is why random guys shooting exclusivly wide open corner 3s get overrated so often. Not all shots are created equal.
"He dished out 7 dimes" - I hate how wrong those statements are. It should be "His team-mates scored from 7 of his passess". He dished out probably 20 or 30 assists, but it's up to his team-mates how many of them got converted into points and then called actual assists/dimes.
Well, here’s the flaw and what you say and it really screams ignorance. You can’t dish out 20 or 30 assists if they don’t make the shot that’s not an assist 🤦♂️
Not quite All-Star game level of defense but getting close. The NBA is just basketball-themed entertainment rather than a sport these days and the more common these 60 and 70 point games become, the less 'special' they actually are.
Bro be travelling 3very other possession
They need to call Luka… the matrix, because he’s seeing everything in slow motion.
Considering how good the players are today and the lack of defense of the worst teams, I know what you're getting at with the 100 point game. But Luka was scorching hot, played 45 minutes, and he was still almost 30 points (a major factor!) short. 30 is what the best scorers average in a full game, not something you can add on to an already blasting performance.
But if the game goes into 1 or 2 overtimes it is possible.
@@timburger314 You're not going to score 30 in a 5 minute overtime even as a team. It's very unlikable that one player can do that even in double overtime. My guess is that, if it was going to happen, it has to be at least a 3 overtime game.
Yeah this video was highly exaggerated. Nobody has scored 70 since this game
Bball Index has Luka as the top 3 point talent in the league
73 points are amazing, but it is even more amazing how Luka makes the plays with such precision. High IQ plays that NBA is not used to!
That is why NBA is not ready for Luka Doncic!
I really don’t know what better 60/20/10 and a game trying shot on a missing a freethow shot on purpose or 73 points on 75% from the field and 1 miss free throw 🤯 if he get two rings he the a top 10 players all time imo 5 or more he in the goat conversion
Don’t watch basketball at all anymore, as I fight now and really love watching UFC. However, instagram was going crazy and I like to watch basketball once in a blue moon and I remember you always made some of the best breakdowns, I always find myself coming back. Great stuff, still love watching these videos.
Literally in the same boat as you. I just watch UFC now. But followed NBA since I was kid, so I still touch base some of the basketball guys every now and then
This dude gonna win the MVP
Just three assists away from a 73 point triple double!!!🤯🤯🤯
The NBA should bring back defense
Then you gonna cry because your favorite players will be injured 90% of the time. The whole reason those rule changes came is to prevent injuries. Imagine everyone being Draymond Green
how come they dont get injured in the euro league ? @@johnwild8217
@@johnwild8217 no I just want to see competition again in the game
@@user-le2dl5up1d it still is a competition it just diverted towards scoring. Wouldn't be suprised if they add a 4pt line in the next 20 years. It mathematically makes sense for both teams to just try and get as much fg attempts in as possible, because it's easier to win that way. I understand what you mean, but i dont think it's going back
You are absolutly right...
That was a gamescore of 64, the second highest ever, topped only by MJ's 69 point game and a gamescore of 64,6...
one more assist and he would have surpassed MJs...
Gamescore ?
@@LloydAlmighty Yeah, its a stat made by John Hollinger with a formula -
PTS + 0.4 * FG - 0.7 * FGA - 0.4*(FTA - FT) + 0.7 * ORB + 0.3 * DRB + STL + 0.7 * AST + 0.7 * BLK - 0.4 * PF - TOV
Yep, and Jordan's game actually went into OT, so Luka's is the highest for a regulation game. Luka is also the only player in NBA history to have two games rank in the top-10 all time in gamescore, *and he's only 24!*
@@LloydAlmighty basically its an advanced stat measuring an individual performance with the formula mentioned above.
I wish you would've shown how (believe it or not) how of a good job Murray did of trapping him and making him move it in the 4th. if it wasn't for Dejounte picking him up he would've had 80 plus
I hear ya! This was already sooo long that I couldn’t get to every possession
The amount of travelling in this vid is crazy
Best manscaped transition to the promo ive seen yet, bravo.
11:37 nahhhh this shot is crazy 😂
The fans never cried “no defense” when Embiid got 70 against a worse team(Spurs), they didn’t cry when KAT got 62, or when Luka’s son Booker got 62 against the Pacers without Haliburton, why are they crying now, huh? They’re crying because it’s a guard’s league now, not a big man’s league
Scoring in nba is actually a problem. They need to do something about it. The game is too unbalanced between offense and defense
This time of the NBA season gets the most high scoring games of the season. Some Oakley, Mahorn type action is definitely needed. Run and gun throughout the league diminishes the quality of play imho
Bro did I not watch the video lmao. The hawks would’ve held him to 20 if they hustled / picked him up instead of leaving him open. Luka just realized how shitty the hawks D was on every play. Too bad the Mavs can barely defend either. They should’ve won by 30
@@MarkFranklin-ws5jfin the 80s teams also played run and gun and scored 115+ ppg. Without threes, with handchecking and no flagrant fouls. And also with Oakley and mahorn ;). Heck even the Detroit bad boys allowed 105 ppg at the start of their rise.
@@KODAKJACK47exactly, Atlanta is stuck in no mans land and half the roster doesnt care
Hans checking and 3s rule out and it stops
One the best performances in modern era👍👍 pure magic
Luka could've gotten a 73pt tripdub if his teammates hit shots
I love Luka and everything, and 73 points is definitely crazy and amazing, but can we really say they "destroyed" the Hawks only winning by 5 points?
"Hawks would have destroyed Mavs if it wasn't for Luka's 73 points" would have been more fitting.
Exactly. the word is "humiliated"
Feel bad for jalen johnson he just got a perfect game from kuninga then 73 from luka but he been battling he had 25+ in both games
nah pos always jogs back on defense doesn't even attempt to give the perception that he's trying
In skills and size, Doncic has the profile of a near-perfect NBA offensive player and perfection might just be a few percentage points of long-range accuracy away. With a 6-foot-7 frame, the vision of an owl and a magician's sleight of hand, Doncic can demoralize a defense any which way from any spot on the floor.
You know youre not someone when they hit you with the Chip Douglas!!! 🤣🤣🤣
What was the Chip Douglas here? I love the reference I’m sure 98% of people don’t get it these days.
Just a lil correction: spain pick and roll consists in the 3 (Jones) screening the center for a roll and an easy pass, not the 3 to the 1
Luka and Embiid play same pace!
They call it casually because Luka makes defense non existent
NEVER COMPARE LUKA TO TRAE , JA, TATUM OR ZION. I MEAN THEY ALL GREAT. BUT ALL OF THEM KNOW THEY ALL BEHIND LUKA AND THEY JUST HAVE TO BE SOUR ABOUT IT👍🏽
Wide open fade from 14 ft, BUT over the backboard. Just incredible!
Thats some Larry Bird shit 😊
Notice the media started complaining about defense as soon as luka scored 70, they didn't say nothing when embiid scored 70, i wonder why lol
You don’t need 70 points to “destroy” the 18-27 Hawks. I’m sure it makes it easier tho.
Scoring is meaningless at this point in the NBA. Averaging 25+ meant something. Now that's barely borderline all-star numbers. Players are more skilled and offenses more high power, pace is insane. But a lot of these games feel like an all-star game. where the first 120 points are don't mean anything.
theres only 18players this season scoring 25 or more points per game this season!
@antonquirgst2812 i count 20. 10 years ago, there were 5. There are 50 over 20ppg. My point is scoring isn't really a measurable metric anymore because it's fairly easy to get 20+. 25+ was achieved by superstars. There aren't 20 superstars in the NBA. We've had 4 60+ point games in a week, and 2 of them came with Ls. Scoring is meaningless.
@@jefecristo6867 yeah youre right - it is 20 (i looked up the stats for players eligible in the scoring leaderboard which excluded ja morant and kyrie irving) - i dont negelct ur argument that scoring has become easier... to call it "meaningless" is an exaggeration- but come playoff time the old sayind: offense wins games and defense wins championships will be proven wright im pretty sure. Bad defense is the reason the bucks fired their coach despite a good record. At the current state of the game though I think well have to lve with the fact that even with good defense scoring numbers will still be higher than what they used to be.
@@jefecristo6867 4 60+ games in a week is crazy, but nontheless in the last ten years there have only been 25 of those games!
Should have been a 70 point triple-double, but tim brickaway jr couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...
not that it would change the hawks, they're shit on defense regardless, but the rules need to change, it's too easy for the offensive player
You realize over the last 5 years, every single rule change has benefited the defense right? Offense isn’t to easy, it’s just easily the most skilled era ever
@@kennethhanes5702 aight
You do realize all the RECENT rule changes favor the Defense, don't you.
@@kennethhanes5702Wrong- stop parroting JJ Reddick. This is by far the most traveling, carrying, moving screen heavy era ever. The gather step was added officially, so now players end up getting away with 4 steps too often. The refs now let players carry the ball by the definition of the rule, because they simply don’t call that rule. The refs allow moving screens akin to an offensive lineman blocking, and initiating contact as the offensive player used to be considered a charge every time, but now it’s almost always considered a defensive foul. You’re allowed one step after the catch before you have to dribble, now it’s two because of the gather step, but refs constantly allow 3-4 steps after the catch.
Rules changes mean nothing- it’s about how the game is called.
Nice to read a post like yours. It was like reading my own thoughts. And 30 years ago the Eurostep would be a travel. @@lukekiefer5964
What i like the most about his game is that it's really how people play basketballs here in balkans, not the pro's but when you go to a random suburb of a big town and see how guys from the hood play. :D
With all the fadeaways, it feels like its a Dallas secret weapon, like a Dallas only special skill 😂
4:18 that right foot is 100% a double dribble. It matters to defenders trying to read it
my favorite play is the freight train lay up. classic
Capella needs to retire sheesh
legitimately the greatest ad-read transition i have ever seen. we are witnessing greatness.
you can always tell which videos he rushes out in the quality of the video.
You know the NBA is in a bad place when we have 70 point games 3 times a year now it seems.
Only two, not three.
@@imdbtruth Giannis had 64 on top of that and we still have the rest of the NBA Season to go. 70 points in a game is now the new 50. Used to see 70 points one a decade. No defense in the NBA and the rules are two relaxed offensive players can do pretty much whatever they want and the defense can't do anything about it anymore
@@josephcox3091 No it's not. There's still only been 10 players ever score 70+, it's not the new 50.
@@imdbtruth and 4 out of the 10 40% came within the last 6 seasons. Booker, Lucka, Embid, and Lillard.
@@josephcox3091 Still only been 10 of them in history, so what's your point? My point about Luka is that he did it in only 33 shots. A lot more guys could score 70+ if they're routinely jacking up 45+ shots like Kobe or Wilt, but doing it in 33 shots with less Free Throws, it's the best performance ever imo.
funny thing is, it doesn't seem they were looking very much at luka from these clips. Plenty of other players getting touches
Should have been a 73 pt triple double
That first left handed lay upby luka against young was too easy
There is actually zero defense anymore so there is that
Hey coach, would decreasing the 3 pt line distance actually give defenses a chance to scramble back to reduce these offensive outputs? or do you think since NBA players are so good, they'll just shoot from way beyond the FIBA 3 pt line? What does the FIBA or Olympic data look like? hmmm
Those slow rhythm layups are too destructive against defence nowadays, i wish i had the same results on playground matches
Bro been doing these vids since like 2007 !!!! Still sound the same still the same formats the same type thumb nail and it works I know you making bank from this channel lol
Coach, you got to do a video on why the Warriors are struggling, even with so much talent.
I love the "Gortat Screen" mention!
73 points? just insane. Definition of one man offense. And he is still years away from his prime
Which player/s realistic re salary etc would change this Hawks team? Brogdon, Finney-Smith can defend and maybe give Trae and Johnson a chance to play their game
Luka for MVP
That transition into the ad was funny 😆
Best segway to manscape 😂
This kid is an alien like Victor Wenbanyama.
Modern day offense meets modern day defence
The Hawks defense has more holes than Swiss cheese...
😂
1:30 that extra big step detail damn
I'm not even sure if they make this call anymore but I think that very first basket by Luka is a moving screen by Lively. It's kind of close because Lively doesn't exactly set his feet and then move again he's just running in front and Luka follows him so maybe its clean. Why I like this point explosion more than the others last week is the efficiency.
There were many uncalled moving screens, travels, and offensive fouls on Luka's baskets. The NBA is called worse than some rec leagues. All in the name of offense.
So much scoring this year! 😂
Gotta give props to Luka he’s that guy but holy you can’t argue that Prime MJ or Kobe would’ve averaged 40-50 points in this modern era
They would average exactly the same as they did in their era. Maybe a couple of points more. League is like 100x times more stacked with talent than it was back then. International players are making it competitive. Name me one point in nba history when all top 5 players in the league were international. Il wait. It's stupid to compare era's. If you can say MJ or Kobe would average 40 50 i can say they would both probably foul out of the game within 2 quarters in today's NBA. Players are getting techs for talking to their teammates for god sake. I don't want to bash any player, but comparing different era's is dumb, because it's way to subjective.
Bro, LeBron played in the Kobe era and he still is averaging 27, MJ and Kobe would still probably average what they did
Maybe, but only because Kobe would shoot 40 times per game. In his 81 point game, he took THIRTEEN more shots than it took Luka to score 73! If Luka had taken 46 shots last night, he would've threatened Wilt's record. Kobe holds 6 of the top-10 games for most FG ATTEMPTS in a game. Luka's never attempted more than 33 shots in a single game, which doesn't even put him near the top-100, it's called efficiency!
Most SHOTS MISSED in a game (since merger)
1. Kobe - 30
2. Kobe - 28
4. Kobe - 25 (twice) (tied with others)
5. Kobe - 24 (three times) (tied with others)
6. Kobe - 23 (six times) (tied with others)
In contrast, Luka has never missed more than 20 shots in a game, and that was only once. He also has missed 18 shots in a game 4×. His 20 misses doesn't rank in the top-100 for most misses in a game.
Gortat screen❤
How about we dont even compare the 73 to the 81 and just admire and congratulate both incredible performances?
FINALLY Soundtrack is back
10:53 Loca's "argument" would be a bad one. The defender has position and, if anything (I think a no-call was appropriate) Doncic's shoulder into his chest was an offensive foul. You got this wrong in the Embiid video too.
Why didn't embiid get a video?
Oh no, are you gonna cry racism?😂
@Joomlahacks yes. Embiid played 8 less minutes, luka made 8 three's to embiid 1 and he is a CENTER. Just because you don't like him does not minimize his feat. If embiid played the same amount of minutes as luka he would of had 84 points lol. C'mon man.
@@PhillyReese215 Embiid took 8 MORE shots.
@@morganlee2806 how free throws did emblid have too. Way more than Luka!!!

10:15 how bout that inbound. dude gets away with the most
Imagine being the guy that convinced his team to draft Deandre Ayton and Marvin Bagley III over Luka lol. Let alone trading him for Trae Young to watch him do this to your team. Luka is a generational talent. Everybody hates on him saying what has he done, but you have to compare him to his draft class and you can see he's way ahead of pretty much everybody.
Luka could broke 81. He was still trying to facilitate throughout the game. Passed up some open shots.
incredible breakdown 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Luka loves making trey look bad 😂.
