Luka doesn't get the criticism of Harden because he doesn't abuse the rules as much to get these free throws, and his numbers actually go up in the playoffs, unlike Harden who actually plays worse.
*I HATE PLAYING WITH GUYS LIKE THAT* they (hate) to be set up by anybody other than themselves. You could throw them a perfect dime and they pull it back out to score on their own.
What I'm thinking also could have happened was maybe players on the Bucks all voted for different random guys because they knew Kareem deserved it but they couldn't vote for him. That way someone else couldn't win it over him if they all actually voted for the top guys that were in the conversation. Just an easy way to make sure Kareem wins it. or maybe they thought it would be funny to vote for guys that don't deserve it
Just a quick note: Giannis doesn’t even need to win MVP, because as long as he just wins DPOY, he’ll be the first and only player in NBA history to have at least 2 MVPs and 2 DPOYs. Adding a 3rd MVP would obviously be insane though
Fax but I don't like how all of a sudden people are like ye SGA is easily the second best player from the 2019 draft after Luka but Trae has been amazing his whole career not just a year and ik sga has been good and putting up all star number last year but let's not get to far ahead of ourselves at least that's my opinion
I think the main factor Jimmy didn't consider was winning. He brought it up for Booker but didn't base the argument on it, and it's often why good players aren't considered. Steph and Durant's teams have not been winning which is why they aren't being considered. Weird SGA is but that can also be due to SGA being the new shiny toy. Winning factors into this as much as stats do
yeah but even then it stands out, curry JUST averaged 32 on a losing play-in team 2 seasons ago and landed 3rd, but he’s doing essentially the same if not even better and has dropped 7 places
@@dxrkzay8758 th thing is well yes he's foing the same but back then the team was shit, now its supposed to be good but is bad for some reason. Also the competition is a lot higher/better now with even other guys lkke Shai doing basically the same
Highly doubt they gonna continue this statistic high point stream but if they do, the standard for super star and an all star is gonna be huge in the future
I guess this is explained by all of the videos showing all of the travelling and carrying allowed in today's game, it's just a drastically different game and you can't compare decades any more.
I’ve always thought about the lack of Luka/Harden comparisons. Glad you brought it up. They’re play styles are eerily similar too, with a patented stepback, historic deceleration, and playmaking ability. I’d say the difference is Lukas playoff dominance, something we never saw in Harden for the playoffs. Luka is clutch, and somehow gets better in playoffs against tough matchups (Kawhi, PG, CP, Wiggins, Draymond, and Gobert) yet he still is effective in the offense. Also I think he has more time to secure a young team which might allow him to open up to an off-ball game and look a little more like Steph with a team oriented game
Jimmy was actually incorrect on curry's ts% being the highest by a perimeter player all time, as kyle korver(SG), in the 2015 season, had a true shooting percentage of 69.9, higher than curry's 69.8 Nitpicky, but still relatively valid to note.
I feel like coaches should vote but they can’t vote for anyone on their own team, and make their votes public to see if y’all’s team have a competent coach or not 😂
These numbers arent calculated with the inflation of shots and posessions in the last years. So whilst imptessive, its kinda expected, especially since more people are getting better at the 3.
As someone who hated Houston Rockets James Harden who hasn’t yet slipped into hating Luka. Luka has been more efficient than Harden, evidence with the PER Luka has right now being the highest ever, Harden made me hate him because he would shoot a ridiculously low FG % and have 40-50 points solely off of free throws and volume. If Luka starts having those games, I’ll probably feel the same way about him as Harden, but he’s shooting with great efficiency and improving his numbers in the playoffs, and I can’t hate on that
Lol cmon now we know the 2nd seed means nothing right now, theyre a game and a half out of 8th, i love the nuggets though but I feel you I guess logically every West team is shaky then lol, so my bad. but i was directly talking about their loss to DET
@@CliqueClips I mean yeah it may be somewhat irrelevant right now. But the way I look at it, even the beat teams lose to scrubs sometimes. The 72-10 Bulls lost to a terrible Nuggets team. Not to mention, the Nuggets finally have a solid home stretch. Lots of traveling early in the season.
Great video as always. First time commenting here and was just wanting to ask if you could react to one of the channels that do the sort of play by play analysis like half court hoops or thinking basketball. Much love little brother 💙 keep blowing up you deserve it!
Based off of indvisual performance and stats and using advanced metric the most accurate unbiased top 10 for me and I used the advanced metric called gamescore thats perfect for a top 10 list which judges who has been having the better games which is relevant to who is the better player. 1.Luka 2.Curry 3.Shai 4.Joel embiid 5.Kevin durant 6.Jayson Tatum 7.Anthony Davis 8.Giannis 9.Donovan Mitchell 10.Nikola This only makes sense if your really watching every game of the nba seasson based off the stat lines and performance which is the argument that we use.
Harden hooks into defenders arms intentionally. He intentionally brings the ball down when he drives and wind it up as he shoots. He also jumps into defenders most of the time. Luka mostly just uses his body to shield the ball. They get their fouls differently. Also, Luka is not a mediocre to bad FT shooter.
Bruh these reactions are cool but it’d be cooler if you’d create your own videos, not piggybacking off others, i know you’d do well creating your own nba content, plus jxmy highrollers videos are so good stopping them over and over for commentary kinda doesn’t need to happen
unpopular opinion: Luka won’t win MVP due to his terrible defense, and once people stop only acknowledging his offense but his entire game, they’ll see players like tatum and giannis are some of the most complete players ever
@@KoKoNuTz232 wise man once said “highlights steals/ blocks doesn’t make you a elite defensive player”, stop looking at the box score and actually watch the games, luka is a mid tier defender at best. And just because he was 4th in steals that means he’s on par as a twoway player as tatum and giannis? you’re either a troll, a dick rider, or a casual who don’t know better.
@@KoKoNuTz232 “improvement” sure, he can really good on off ball defense, but in translation, one on one, off the screen pick ups, and in zones he literally a cone. You could even see in the celtics vs mavs game that every chance they got they isolated luka
@@sushhshs Gee i wonder why. Is that the only game that the people watched? Are you all celtics fans? Cause yall been pretty loud lately and full of yourselves. The Mavs as a team suck defensively. As a team suck offensively. The only reason they even do as well they as they do, is because of Luka. Its crazy how people watch mavs play 2x a year, then listen to NBA today, or first take, and they think they know anything about the Mavs or Luka. I don't want to hear opinions. Show me objective proof of what you are saying.
@4:51 he is comparing COMPLETED SEASONS to this QUARTER of a season......... that would be like pausing when the Warriors were 24-0 and comparing THAT to ENTIRE SEASONS of past NBA history...................
Luka is far and away the best player in the league, don't @ me...but unless Dallas has a MASSIVE turnaround as a team and finishes as a top 3 seed, its highly unlikely Luka will win it😭🥲
poor quality vid tbh. keep grinding bro, you could potentially make dope videos in the future.. Not great at the moment but we all start from somewhere!

Well said came here to comment this
Facts
Hey def abuses the rules just as much, he’s just a lot subtler than harden was.
@@Prince_Luci can I get some examples? Not saying your wrong but can I have proof?
Harden literally use to grab people's arms just to get a foul call
What’s even crazier about Luka is that 89.2% of his made field goals this year are unassisted
Dude is shooting 60% TS while being dogshit for 3PT%, just bizarre things.
W stat
*I HATE PLAYING WITH GUYS LIKE THAT* they (hate) to be set up by anybody other than themselves. You could throw them a perfect dime and they pull it back out to score on their own.
@@JaeSproo yeah well you could never play in. the same court as luka anywaus
@@JaeSprooIt’s not that it’s just that he has no one who’s gonna give him a good pass.
No way there was an actual person in 1972 that though Sidney Wicks deserved MVP over Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

Steve Nash lead his team to the #1 seed with Stoudemire out most of the year for his Second MVP season. Why do people forget that?

Im watching this right after Devin Booker's 51 point game
I remember that TH-cam channel that broke down the shot forms of nba players I specifically remember the Devin booker video
Luka this season is like Jokic last season but on steroids
forgot the second l in roller bro
