  • We are so excited to welcome back our friend Luka Doncic (The Dallas Mavericks). In this teaser, we do a film breakdown on Luka's 73 point game against the Atlanta Hawks. We also talk about whether hand checking would slow down his scoring. Lots of highlights in this interview. See you tomorrow!

      What JJ explained is still allowed, but what he explained wasn't 90s handchecking. You didn't have to take the hand off back then and thats the key.
      Don't misunderstand me, I don't think it would bother Luka at all. The way 90s guards countered the handcheck was to play with their back to the basket 25 feet out...Luka does that today because its just his game. So I think Luka would likely feel right at home with 90s handchecking.

    Luka is just playing what’s in front of him. He said it himself - something like “if they want me to go left, I go left. If they want me to go right, I go right”. I don’t think there’s too much that’s premeditated. I don’t think you have TIME to do that much thinking on the floor - even playing at Luka speed. And with the defence constantly trying to throw different things at you, you can’t be too premeditated.
    Same with the slow step. He can’t do that EVERY time. He’s just FEELING what will work in any situation and he’s good enough to have so many options can choose from and make the shot, regardless.

    Him mentioning Dwight Powell was really nice. I've been reading a lot of fans saying they want him out of there for years and I've always said Dwight was the only one who could run the pick & roll with Luka properly. Seriously. Go back to Luka's early days (post Dirk Mavs) and NOBODY's been able to play pick & roll with Luka as good as Powell. Maxi developed it a few years back, but he doesn't really roll that much. Now it's Powell and Lively.

      Offensive players today have a ton of talent. But let’s not confused gimmicky skills for talent.

If the level was "too great", then NBA players would be scoring way more than their predecessors in FIBA (which is more similar to the older NBA).

The NBA has been OPENLY changing rules to increase scoring, and it's stupid to argue with the guys who make their own rules that their own rules didn't make scoring easier when that's exactly what they wanted.
      The US team just played in a FIBA tournament less than a year ago. If 5 out was a more effective strategy for scoring, then the US team's scoring should be better than the past, i.e. they should be scoring more than their predecessors. They're not. There is no consistent upward trend for team USA's scoring, and just looking at the data any excuse you try to make won't be consistent. The most consistent answer aligns with literally what the league, players, coaches, GMs, and fans who've watched the game for a long time say: NBA rules make it easier to score when they take away physicality and 3s. FIBA play just adds evidence that it's moreso the rules than the players abilities since FIBA hasn't had as many drastic offense related rule changes/interpretations as the NBA.

    I feel like that slow step/deceleration was an evolution to his game brought about by playing so many competitive games. Remember, he's only 16 when he played for Madrid. His physique is not yet fully developed and had to work his way against faster fully-developed grown men. He had to think of a way to drive to the basket with the mismatch on physicality. One more thing is that it It's true, you can't really recreate the actual defense on practice that's why he said he didn't practiced it. The deceleration really depends on the defense. If the defender didn't jump you could see Luka would plant both his feet and pass the ball instead of forcing the shot. Unlike the crossover which you kinda bait the defender, the deceleration is really more of a gamble.

It was for top of the key. 3 point shooting was WAY harder bc of hand checking and that's why the best shooters in the 90s and 80s were 6"6+ outside of a VERY select few.

    The thing with 1980's hand checking it really only works in the paint for players that use their back- while dribbling backing up. Hand checking for 'strong' defenders works... because if they put their elbow on your back as the dribbler' is backing up ...he cannot back up that stronger defender... the elbow force on offensive players back alters what the offensive player has to do.
    When the offensive player is stronger than the defender with the hand checking or elbow on the back... the offensive player can still back up the defender.
    But yes hand checking did make it harder to score. Because offensive player had to be a really good dribbler' great handles... to deal with defense like that.

      The answer is to not call fouls as much. Bc half these fouls are invisible.

      To be honest it depends on which era of hand checking

      @@rplayer360 Any pre-2004 rules (with the interpretations) are going to be harder to score. Period. The NBA intentionally changed the rules to increase scoring and nearly every single player who played through the rule change says the same thing.

    JJ asked about handchecking in such a biased way that basically forced Luka to agree with him. Thats JJ's biggest weakness. Its obvious when he has a narrative and then it feels like an insincere path until he gets the clip he wants.

    If 96 Jordan were to play in THIS NBA right now, 40 every game. I have ZERO doubt in it and Luka pretty much stamped it too with this convo.

      But 96 Jordan was 33 years old, playing in his prime. I believe too that he will score 40+ every game.

      96 Jordan was perfect for the 90's. He would probably have to facilitate a lot more in today's NBA to be successful, hence why I doubt the 40+.

      luka would be the best in league with mj in the 90s. so many players from the current nba would dominate the nba in the 90s, today players have a LOT more physical skill then older players.
