- Dereck Lively has came alive for the Dallas Mavericks as a rookie in the NBA & has uplifted this team completely. Lively has an amazing defensive skillset that translates to his offensive game as well, & when you pair him up with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, it takes the Dallas Mavericks to another level!

He tipped me $400 at my job. He is such a great dude in real life too, so I'm a big fan of him. LETS GO MAVS!
A huge factor is Mavs hiring Tyson chandler as a developmental coach. Hes had a huge impact on him. Remember seeing a clip of him talking about he texts chandler and sweeney (assistant coach) about guarding, coverages etc all the time. He wants to learn it’s amazing. His momma did a great job god rest her soul
Chandler and Dudley have been great leaders in the coaching staff. Fantastic acquisitions and full credit to kidd on the playoff run being so succesful. he outcoached the coty.
Also love the connection him and maxi have on the court, shame he is injured in this run
Preach 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼
Loved the video! No complaints only want to add the fact that OKC decided to do the hack a Lively strategy and at first Lively was running away from the defense trying not to get fouled, Kyrie told him to stand there take the foul and knock down his free throws and that’s just what he did! For a rookie that is insane to show that type of poise that 15 year veterans don’t even have. D Live is the truth can’t wait to see what he does in the future
Nah but Chet chasing him around was a top 5 playoff moment this year. It’s funny af watching 2 giant kids playing tag in the middle of the second round of the playoffs.
QA@@shaunakkulkarni4679
chet chasing him was straight outta scooby doo lmaoo
I'm not sure how he could still throw down all these dunks considering the size of his baIIs after he knocked down the FTs 🔥
@@shaunakkulkarni4679, That is exactly what they are right now.
Lively makes last year's tank so worth it so glad the mavs got him
yes but okc picked lively :)
@@krazy.88okc wants wallace in the jump, that's why they trade up to 10 coz they are afraid orlando will draft cason at 11.
@@krazy.88that’s essentially the same as saying the Hawks drafted Luka. Your comment is pointless and only outs you as a cringe casual. Good luck next season, Thunder fan.
@@tatumsh9 hahaha. pointing out obvious makes you okc fan. you are in your prime time.
@@krazy.88 your comment is redundant tho, like why even mention that okc picked lively?
His offensive boards late in game 6 were so crucial. He's been a beast on the offensive glass throughout the playoffs, and it has been amazing to watch. He's averaging 2.6 oreb per game. If I didn't know better, I'd think he been playing for years
Man Look into the game where he broke his nose and played thru. That lob finish was the loudest Ive Heard the AAC in years.
I feel like Lively has this Aura about him.. his mom's spirit watching over him..like Gaara's sand that had his mom's will
Good analogy!
also like the Legend of Zelda... the elf looks for the answers but finds them only in the Village
Bro for real 💯
Luka definitely born with basketball-sharigan
Such a nerd comment. I love it!😂
The Mavs have a real chance to build a dynasty. Right now it's Luka & Kyrie. But at some point it's gonna become Luka & Lively. Because Lively DOES have 3 ball range...he's just gotta keep working on it and other aspects of his game before it's NBA ready.
I'm hoping next year he works on his low-post game. Get comfortable backing guys down. Develop a steady 7 foot hook or push shot. I think that's the one part of his game where he still plays like a rookie...he gets the ball down low and it's like he's thinking "this is the NBA, I gotta be quicker & faster" but if he just settles himself down & takes a half of a second more to create his shot he'd be even better around the rim. So this step should be pretty easy for him.
Then maybe the following year he develops a strong 15 footer jumpshot and maybe start testing his 3 ball range. And he'll be a pretty deadly pick & roller. Can roll with Luka and be a lob machine. Or he'll be able to pick & pop.
But without a doubt, this guy is gonna be NBA All Defensive team for many years to come. His size, length, ability to bulk up (vs a Wemby or Chet who will always be pretty lanky), and his feet will allow him to match up with anyone and feel good about it.
You're selling hardy short 😂
@@de4ds1ghtcsgo94 hardy has a lot of potential, hopefully he is still here after kyrie and take that SG position, both lively and hardy have all star potential
@@chrishernandez1728 hardy is all star material... lively is him
I JUST REALLY LOVE how now everybody begin too see Lively, been seen his potential to click with Luka since the beginning of the season...
Love how he even more brighter in playoff
What I think separates Lively from other Bigs such as Gaffort is his decision making and IQ... Gaffort often times only looks to finish when he receives the pass whereas Lively always has the eye for the open man which allows him to punish defenses who are trying to shutdown the rollman
Before the season they asked Scoot Henderson who was the player being most overlooked thats gonna make an Impact. And Scoots answer was Derrick Lively. Said he was gonna ipen a lot of peoples eyes.
Man was the X factor in the game 6, bro get 15 board and punishing OKC size
"Lively by name, Lively by game!"
I feel like you could do a video about the entire Mavs defense. I mean PJ Washington is out there putting dudes in pJail. There was several times in the 2nd half of Game 6 where PJ is on Shai and he forced Shai into a tough 10-15 footer that he misses.
The work that DJJ did on PG13 and Chet is also very impressive. He was literally wearing PG's uni for most of that series. And you've got this 6'6 dude blocking Chet's 3 point shots while also being a menace to Chet whenever he tried to drive it.
The Mavs are a legit ELITE defensive team. With Gafford & Lively you've got 2 excellent rim protectors who can do it in different ways. You've got 2 wings who are 6'6 & 6'7 who can guard almost every position. You have Kai playing aggressive defense and being the crafty veteran. And Luka is a big body just trying his best to get in the way & give his help defenders just half a second more to get into position...but he also comes up with timely blocks and steals.
Then you still have more defense on the bench. Josh Green is a really solid defender who also brings a ton of hustle & effort. Maxi is a VERY under rated defender. For 6'10 he's really good on the perimeter & can switch on most players. Not a rim protector but will get his share of blocks. Dante Exum isn't a great defender but he's a willing one...even though bigger guards like Shai can put Exum on his butt.
But we haven't even seen the rest of the defense. O-Max, the late 1st round pick who spent the season with the G-League, is supposed to be a VERY good defender. He's like 6'9, 7 foot wingspan, really good athleticism. He's supposed to be this 3 & D guy who can work off the closeout with a drive & dunk.
I like this video. You not just taking stuff from the media but actually doing your research and breaking down what people don't see or look for
That means alot! I’m glad you enjoyed it & can see all the work that goes into making these videos! Hope you enjoy more going forward!
I think my favorite aspect of his game is his willingness to screen and roll over and over. There are times where he'll do it 3-4 times in one possession. I don't think most people understand how tiring doing that is.
this biggest thing abut lively is his mobility and his defensive IQ. He hears the communication, he's rarely late on assignments, and moves his feet well enough to keep in step with players who turn on the gas. Gaffords got a similar skillset, both are invaluable to the team
We can also add to that how calm he is. OKC wanted to do hack-a-lively and he make them pay for that by shooting most of his free throws. He had also some clutch free throws in game 6 vs OKC.
For him to play not too long after his mom’s passing is so admirable. Props and prayers to him❤
As a Mavs fan, tanking is awesome ! (Except if you're the Pistons)
They got soooo mad at us last year😂😂
okc picked lively ;)
@@krazy.88what's your point?
@@zachholloway33 tanking or no tanking, dal would get lively
@@krazy.88 we were 10th and moved down to 12th
OKC wanted to guarantee Cason Wallace so we helped each other.
Cason is nice with it don't get it twisted
how comfortable the mavs are with d live on the perimeter and luka ´rotating into the big man spot is crazy
I've been able to watch damn near every minute he played this year and he's remarkable. You've touched on many reasons why he's special and gonna be a problem for the rest of the NBA for a long time. But the thing about him that impressed me the most is how fast he picks up on things.
Like his 1st time against the Celtics and KP. Lively was getting worked on by the veteran big man in that 1st quarter. In the 2nd quarter it was about even. But in the 3rd you had Lively dominating the matchup. Took Lively about a half to get used to KP's game and to shut it down.
I haven't seen this kind of defence since Tim Duncan.
He's not the same of offensive player but he has great fundamentals that fit with Luka's game perfectly
He's a rookie
@@HathMurl and he's a very young one.
Still I don't get what you mean.
Do you think he will develop into a better offensive player than Duncan?
I wish him all the best but even if he doesn't he could be a great piece for a dynasty team
@@perrodepajaI mean maybe he’s getting conference finals playoff experience as a rookie and has been one of the main reasons the mavs won the first 2 rounds I can’t wait to see what he develops into
Imagine being a rookie and just already going to the conference finals
Edit, we going to the finals never mind!!!
And being a key factor for that!
NBA Finals now :D
Conference finals ? This rookie going to nba finals!!! Will fight for Championship! As rookie! Very locker man, with Lukas
@@tombouu Yessssss
He deserved to be first team all rookie.
This commentator is better than those on TV. He keeps you interested. Amazing talent.
He's got an infectious energy every minute of the game. Keeps players motivated.
Hope he keeps it up and I cant wait to see what he looks like in his 2!d year.
Derek Lively’s fearlessness on the court is something that has to be admired about the rookie. especially with everything going on in his personal life. he’s demonstrated his mental resilience
This man is the 1 of the factor for mavs run this season gor championship i hope he recover quickly in his injury and back to the line up
Lively is Maverick’s version of Golbert but more modern. He’s a better playmaker off the short roll and he can defend in the perimeter better.
I told my friend about Lively when Mavs got him in the off season and man oh man, I didn’t expect him to be this good already. Godbless him.
Lively > Holmgren
Imma mavs fan but holmren could shoot also
Let's go, Lively! Let's go, Mavs! 🔥🔥
our best rookie from day1 to wcf
Dereck “The Lunch Lady” Lively
Whats crazier is that opps thought he couldnt shoot freethrows so he practiced it.
I can’t wait to get a #DLIVE jersey. I’m so proud of this young man and he’s going through so much. #MFFL #LETSGOMAVS
Love the Mavs content I just subscribed, Lucky I stumbled on your channel! 👊🏽
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Hopefully you enjoy the videos going forward!!
whats great about this kid is that he knows his role and does it effectively
The Mavs also hired Keith Veney as their shooting coach. The best shooter in college history.
Great Video keep doing your thang lol you have more than enough to have an great career path 👏 kudos
Wow, thanks so much. That means a lot to me, I appreciate your support!
Pretty sure OKC would not trade him to Dallas again ^^
Cason Wallace is a stud. Pretty solid defensively. Just because a player doesn’t flourish their rookie season doesn’t mean you can write them off.
@@shaunakkulkarni4679 I didn't even talk about that dude because he doesn't play any role in the first or two rookie team of the season. ^^
@@EbizzerHH Cason played good defense on Kyrie and got his buckets
He's nice with it
i stopped following the nba for a while after dirk retired. and i gone back to check whats new recently. lively reminded me so much of tyson chandler every time i watched mavs play. i don't know if its because he was working with chandler or it is how he played before joining the NBA. but he reminded me of chandler. he looks like the missing piece just like how chandler was the key to the 2011 championship
Should have been all rookie 1st team. He has been huge in the playoffs.
make sure to see his 3 point shots in the training 🤩
Perfect fit next to Luka. Same as Capela with Harden
He is good and hope he keep up n be a great player
The only con I have with my guy is his hands...he loses the ball when receiving sometimes, but he's a rookie and what he's done for the team more than cancels out
You got to point out the guy's improvement in the.free throw line.
Great video. Subbed
Thank you thank you, your support means a lot !!!
Future 🌟
Talent born from adversity always stronger.
Sakuragi spirit!!! Rebound king!
Yessir. Was telling my buddy much earlier in this season that I like Lively and the Mav's chances. Completely disregarded him bc he's a rookie. Fuck you Josh 😂
I swear DLive is longer than he looks, I think he’s still growing!
Seem like he’s getting taller every month
他太棒了👍🌟
We just found some playoff killers others teams didn’t want.
So glad we didn’t trade for Capela 😂. Lively= 1. Elite Athlete with elite size 2. High IQ 3. Insane motor 4. Great touch 5. Stays in his lane!! (Almost the same as high iq I know)
He does not have a great touch 🤣🤣🤣
D live is the man, needs to work on his hands tho
Hes just 2 lively 😏
He's very intuned with the Mavs offensive flow. His court awareness is crazy.
He's shaping up to be his mentor, Tyson. Excited for the rook!
That’s the different between him and gaff. He’s a lot smarter when he has to make a decision on 4v3 situations of double teams.
nah for real… his IQ is why he will win all-stars and all-defense awards in his career…
hes only 20!!! fricking 20 years old bro. that’s so young. he should be super atheltic and dumb as a rock, but he is super athletic and SMART as einstein.
It’s scary to think about.
I think Luka and Lively will have their jerseys retired in Dallas after it’s all said and done
@@steviechampagne I think he can sneak himself a DPOY even in a league with Wemby, Giannis, and Gobert
Definitely a few all-stars
I swear DLive is longer than he looks, I think he’s still growing!
He's 7"1' and freshly turned 20
Lively has the natural talent and IQ and he's also learning from Tyson Chandler but the rate this kid learns and accumulates experience is tremendous for the Mavs
Rumors say that the Mavs are trying to develop his shooting skills and that he's already practicing corner 3s. Imagine he suddenly pulls up from deep against Gobert. That would be a game changer
If He manages to Hit the First or Second 3 it would bei enough to give gobert the Feeling He needs to guard Out there. And then IT will BE easier to make wolves collapse
Props to Kidd telling the young man to do Big-Man things, not shooting 3s
from everything Ive heard, hes a very good shooter in practice so we might be seeing it a lot more later in his career
I see a lot of casuals saying Gobert is Lively's ceiling, HELL NAW Gobert couldn't make those passes even in his dreams.
Lively has impressed me the most with his play making out of the short roll . He usually finds the open shooter or makes the right offense play
The way he plays, you wouldn’t know he’s a rookie
The fact that OKC traded him on draft day makes it so much better
Lively is great but PJ and Gafford also. They were anonymous now everybody knows about them. Is that Luka effect?
He was above +20 every game this series!! Ended on a +26
He'll be what Draymond Green is to the warriors but Bigger and athletic.
Its crazy how the Mavs are getting this much coverage. Going through the season it felt like we were always cast aside and forgotten about. Now there is a dedicated video about D-Live, damn feels good to be a Mavs fan
DLive! This guys a hardworking genius!
Remember. Only rookie 2nd team. 😂
Soon enough he will be able to guard 1 through 5
His ability to find the open man while in the roll is already elite
Yeah man, his court vision and passes are flawless considering he's a rookie.
I don’t think it’s outlandish to say 2nd team all rookie is a snub. Critical component to a championship contender > high counting stats on a garbage team.
In Summer League he couldn’t even set a screen, amazing how much he improved since then
in LiVeLy We BeLiEvE!
losing a parent "unfairly" early can provide some DOG level mentality, speaking from experience.
rock on brother.
Yup he has a future for sure! Great breakdown my guy.
I appreciate you my guy, that means a lot!
Can we also commend Tyson Chandler for this? He's also really doing a great job training this young man!
This playoff run will help to develop lively specially this confe finals he will face gobert and KAT he will learn a lot.
Lively might just be our Ace against the Celtics 5-out offense
a rookie C to win it all? thats absurd but luka and kyrie elevates his game to
Everyones here not understanding what harde is Gonna be
The big men rookies this year are special, it's insane
He reminds me of the second coming of Big Ben
Glad mavs got him 🔥😤
Unsung Heroes are the players that help bring championships to a team. I'm liking the Mavs chances.
Great vid my man, you just got a subscriber.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the videos going forward
Wouldn’t it be something if Mavs with Luka, Kai, Live, PJ and all the others go all the way this year?!? I don’t get why there are so little people cheering for them. I mean a 22 year that kind of reminds Jordan impresses and attracts more than the Heart and uniqueness surrounding this Mavs team. Strange world
You wanna know how I know lovely is special? Because I’m a Thunder fan and I couldn’t STAND him that series 😭 he pissed me off so bad he’s so damn good bro.
Just think about DeAndre Ayton getting paid so much by doing nothing compared to what D Live does is just crazy
great analysis
Thank you so much I greatly appreciate it
Now here's the thing.... well over half of these plays you showed for D-Live will not show on a stat sheet!!!
Mavs also have Gafford. When the other teams center is pooped, Mavs have two 7 footers all game.
Am I the only one hearing Kendrick Lamar's voice?
That’s that duke pedigree too
If you play for duke let alone start for duke you have to be highly coachable and willing to make sacrifices for the team. Can’t wait to see what progress he makes in the off season.
Touch around the rim mainly. Extend his range just a little more and work on his Free throws.
That and just generally bulking up and gaining some lbs
" do you have seen a rookie have an impact surrounded by 2 stars?" yes, christian braun in last years finals.
Not even close. Braun was nice bench piece, Lively is absolutely crucial for Mavs success.
