All Mavs fans agree
The only guy who gives Luka credit.
Legler is fair in most of his takes. He's also a former Mav, probably liked the time he spent there.
Luka knows that MVP or not he is the best player in the world. By far.
The only guy who knows ball at espn
You must be huffing gas.
And Awful Coaching - He did an entire video on Luka's defense on OKC
Tim the only guy worth anything analyzing left at espn
Because it's easier and lazier to discuss BS surrounding the game and making bogus GOAT debates, shitty comparisons,and overhyped takes and not actual Xs and Os and strategy. This is an issue across every sports media.
Tim the only man in higher basketball media who actually likes Luka
It’s crazy, people keep telling me that Ant is better than luka cause luka plays no defense…this video must be fake or something 😂😂
you think luka can chase a quick point guard like kyrie all game like ant was doing?
Fake news bro. People call this guy legler, where the hell are his legs? Kyrie isn't even a real person. Everyone unsubscribe to this channel.
@@spenser6353no but luka can guard bigger players on the post and box out better than ant could. We all know luka isn’t quick but he’s strong so it helps his defense on certain matchups.
He doesnt need it 😂
@@spenser6353 Well he failed guarding Kyrie, so what's your point?
Ant looked like he’s about die guarding Kyrie 😂
"I got Kyrie..." 😅
😂😂😂 Ran him into the dirt lol
😂😂😂😂
Did you see when he was drenched in sweat and panting 😂 dude was GASSED trying to stop UNCLE DREW
Then sometimes he switched to luka. Too bad this aint kcp and murray he switchin 😭
The only national media analyst that actually watched the Mavs this season and saw how good they set. S/o to Tim Legler. Mavs finally getting their credit.
I actually thought the best defensive play of Luka was when he stopped Conley twice on an intended drive to the basket just by moving his feet.
Indeed that was pretty good, Luka has become a Very good defender
Legs is the truth. Man been behind Mavs since the trade deadline - when everyone was saying Mavs dont play defence etc. He was there to defend them, had them going deep.
Others are just talking heads.
Luka and Kyrie .. 7 more wins until they’re stamped into history come on fellas 🍻
Luka needs 7 more wins
and Lively!
My nigga@@andyboerger
Lively helping Mavs win the chip for his momma ❤
Tim was one of the only pundits in the business warning about how good this Mavs team is coming into the playoffs.
He showed the pacers love after pascal trade
Wonder if anyone noticed Lively on the defensive end. Ain't no scoring in the paint with Lively down there. Plus he's quick enough to cover on the perimeter too. Gobert and Kat ain't aggresive enough to dominate down low. If Wolves don't hit all those 3's, this woulda been a blow out....
love the guy. Fights hard for the ball.
@@pavlinggeorgievI really love him man, guy is a baller, he's too tuff for a rookie, imagine battling. Kat and gobert on offensive rebounds and box outs, plus my guy has high basketball IQ those pick n roll passes from Luka to lively to open corner threes man, that's tuff for a rookie. And he's not scared. Dlive is a baller man, we can witness the next two years that he will be turned into something of an all time great big man, a guy can protect the rim. Shoot threes guards the perimeter, he may have higher ceiling than wemby coz his body is built tuff unlike wemby that hasn't faced physical defense in Europe and NBA regular season. I Hope he'll be a great corner three point shooter. Once dlive will have that dirk fade, he Will be an all time great big man bro.
If Mavs wouldn't hit half their 3's it would've been a blow out 😂
@@pavlinggeorgiev You can thank Oksee for that!
Mavs missed ez 3s also, that won’t happen often
When I saw Luka broke that lob my mind was blown
Whenever I watch Tim, I learn something new and understand and appreciate basketball even more. Those analysts at ESPN and Undisputed are spouting the same old narratives after just looking at the box score.
I'm from Houston but I gotta say Luka Doncic and the Mavericks are one of my favorite teams 🤘 I gotta give em props 👏
Tim Legler. Most rational man on ESPN.
Luka is provably the best player rn
He has been the best player all year
Yet, not the MVP of this season.
Definitely isn’t
Definitely best player right now
He been. 5 straight all NBA oh but wait ... Ant is the face of the NBA
Tim is coach material best takes from ESPN
The Mavs players and the coaching staff are really focusing on defense too! Good to see how Luka can break the stigma on how he/they lack on defense.
Agreed. But that “can’t play D” label won’t be proven wrong til the government sponsored tv media see it in the Finals. Not saying that’s fair and hopefully I’ll be proven wrong. Speaking of defense, I had no clue D Jones Jr , besides having springs in his shoes, was a human straight jacket.
LMAOOOO ANT COULDNT HANDLE ANY PART OF KYRIE
Kyrie ‘I took that personal’ 😂
Yup he got cooked
Ant was out of gas in the 4th, that was funny 😂
@@panda.971222 and out of gas like this is insane
@@panda.9712 Ant was done halfway into the 3rd😂
This guy has been spot on without any bias. Luka got hops man he is up there with 7'2" guy.....clutch time defense and offense...what you gotta say haters
the ball was underthrown. you dont need hops to break up that pass
@@spenser6353 excuses excuses defense is defense u crumbled underpressure
@@spenser6353 super hops? No. Anticipation, IQ and effort? So far, yes indeed.
@@_Hyper_Rust_ it was a good play. but most nba players can break up that pass
@@kb3143 its first team to win four. not first team to win one
Legler seems like the most common sense dude in whole espn crew, and his takes are really good
Most of those other talking heads are constantly trying to give a hot take or kiss up to whoever they think the next big star is gonna be. Legs (actually) watches the games, breaks them down, and then goes home. He's not looking for an invite to your All-Star Weekend party, unless it's in a tape room and you've got a telestrator. 😂
Tim Legler is good at his job.
And this is just his retirement job now that he’s too old to employ his true talent which was abusing the net on his deadeye jumpers.
Tim about to cook tomorrow during his media run 🔥🔥
There was one play where Luka was really shuffling his feet and shut down Conley, too bad the wolves scored on a second chance
Doubt Luka will ever be a one on one lockdown defender but he’s more than capable of contributing to Mavs stellar team d system, which I never thought I’d say online or even think to myself.
Theres a sequence that reggie miller pointed out where conelly couldnt get past luka.
Luka is coming... and the rest of the NBA analyst, apart from Legs, need to embrace the greatness. Best player/face of the league for the next 8-10 years
Coming?? He’s here already.
@@luisjalvareztorres8481right! He’s Here!
But the NBA media don’t want to admit it
@@luisjalvareztorres8481 Yes!
there are alot of players coming like shai, ant, and wemby. face of the league for 10 years is not going to be one player
@@spenser6353hes way better than those guys. Although wemby is still very very young
Imagine a healthy Luka. Man had heart and grits through the pain.
I've had some of the injuries that he's has and It's hard to even get out of bed.
Tim Legler! One of the few who believes Luka and Mavs since the beginning. Especially among Media.
Legler is very much needed with his unbiased analysis ❤
Keyshawn Johnson needs to see some of these clips because he still goes on undisputed talking about how Luka plays no defense.
I don’t think he watches any games
Luka could average 10 blocks and 10 steals a game and Keyshawn would still trash him for obvious reasons. He should just admit.
who is Keyshawn ? Or Kendric Perkins od Steven A .? Can't believe ppl are listening tho those ... Legs is scy fy for them
Kisshawn is an idiot>🤣
@@masongreen1371 why people make a big deal about luka making a few defensive plays a game? Isnt that what players are supposed to do
Kidd deciding to rest Luka in the 1st quarter instead of Kyrie was a great decision. Kyrie was cooking, and the extra rest in the first half for Luka made his 4th quarter performance possible.
Maybe we take a break from worshipping ANT? He's great, but he isn't Luka or Jokic. Euro boys are still King of the Hill.
Huh? Still? When have they ever? The Euros all combine for one ring. Put all Euros against American hoopers and it'll turn into a pro vs high school game quick.
@@Nathaniel-iu4ciThe last 6 MVPs have been non-American, 83.3% of them have been European.
I didnt start worshoping,only the espn guys.
King of the hill? Foh... Luka would be back in Europe chilling if it wasn't for Kyrie
Plz I rather watch paint dry
I don’t think timberwolves are gonna shoot any better than they did tonight. Mavs in 4
I also don't thinl Mavs can shoot any worst than this , Mavs in 4
@@kokibalboa9527 , God Bless !
Legler is the best…
He is one of the best gems to be a coach someday. I think Tim will be a successful coach shortly.
Tim Legler the only guy in the usa giving luka his glowers, he is alwqys objective amd the only one
Legler is the best , love listening every time he speaks
Yo legs is killin it on the fly. Maestro
nobody recall the clutch game sealing block luka had on SGA in the last series? he's been unreal defensively all playoffs long and he's been doing on one leg. Granted, he has insane defense around him but he is playing as good as you could hope for a dude of his size/athletic ability.
Shout out to J Kidd. I was watching the game and im like I've never seen Kyrie play this hard on defense.
Tim legler. What a legend. Great analysis
Legler's the only true NBA analyst on ESPN
People forget and never talk about how the Hawks traded away their pick to NOT draft Luka. The stupidest decision by a front office in the past 20 years?
More scrutiny should be on the GMs who drafted Ayton and Bagley above him.
What? Dallas gave up a pick to get Luka. Atlanta got Cam Reddish with that pick.
But yes. You always, always go for who you think is the best player. 2 all stars even aren't equal to a perennial all nba dude
The last one must be not select cp3. Instead they chose Marvin Williams.
@Anzhi7 You beat me to it. I'm a Kings fan(Marvin Bagley). I don't understand how professional scouts pass on a guy like Luka.
and then for years people tried to act like it was an even trade.
Just realized Tim Legler played 10 NBA seasons which means he has that NBA Health-care for LIFE. Good on him.
Legler would be a much better Coach than Redick
Why
Cuz he's way better with all things basketball than JJ is.
@@Musso88Ong 😂😂😂
A 2-way Luka may be one of the scariest things an opponenet can consider.
I dont think players are scared of luka defense to be honest.
@@spenser6353ok
Kyrie is the leader but Luka is the best player🎉
kyrie carried them the first half. give him some credit
@@spenser6353he called him the leader
Luka came in i shape this year, you can definitely see the difference at the end of games!
Celtics are my team and Luka is my favorite player. This finals gonna be crazy 🔥
Always love Legler break down basketball play👍. He is the best at it.
Timmy Legs the best. When he talks I don't change the channel or the video.
To that last point about Dort, you can see Luka bodying McDaniels at times at the top of the key / just inside the arc and getting a lot of separation. That being said, you can also see that Luka is throwing lead passes so he doesn't have to deal with McDaniels in the open court after a made basket lol
As soon as Ant said he had kyrie I knew it was gonna be a problem lol
Dallas had the best defensive rating in the league in the last 15 games of RS
Legs need his OWN show. He is masterful with these breakdowns time and time again.
Agreed. Tim Leglar is well versed and not discriminatory.
I love Tim Legler
Legs! Always noticing everything!
Legs should have his own show
Luka plays good post defense, that's just fact.
Great game!
Mavs beat the Wolves while the Mavs shot 20% from 3 and Wolves close to 40%. If they couldn’t win today I doubt they’re winning at all
thats silly. the team that beat the defending champs wont win one game?
@@spenser6353stop glazing the wolves man u responding on every comment talkin about Luka or the Mavs. U won an unserious Nuggets series that's it
@@emps8992 mavs beat a bunch of college kids in okc
Luka has been playing good D, for the most part, all year.
Pay attention ESPN!!
For a change.
The idea that Luka is not a good defender has always been a little overblown to me. It's always been about defensive effort with him. He has the strength and size, he has the defensive IQ. He just has not always consistently given the effort needed (mostly because he's arguing calls with refs instead of getting back). When the chips are down, though? I absolutely trust him to make the needed defensive plays.
I love basketball breakdown, legler you are our saviour
I don´t want to hear any Ant, SGA comparisons with Luka. They are not on his level. PERIOD!
I'll say it again
Dallas are you're champions
What software is Tim using here?
Mavs defense shut down the timberwolves!
they had over 100 points. i dont consider that shutting down
Tim is the truth .. no picking sides just talks basketball
Rudy needs a quick one dribble to take up some space quickly and flick up some automatic buckets. That game was fkn dope. Shout out A.E. he's something never seen before
I have to give Luka credit this is why people have been saying they need from him if Dallas can make this work while Irving is still playing at a high level. We can clearly see if you are facing the best defensive unit rn and you dont play defense? Minnesota will advance to the Finals. They have a chance if Doncic can find ways to affect both sides of the court. This is a look at how he can do that and the results are obvious.
Ron Artest, Bonzi Wells these are some guys who have Luka's build and were terrific on defense. So it's absolutely possible for Luka to become solid on defense if not elite at some point.
does he have quick enough lateral movement to be elite on defense?
@@spenser6353 well neither were the guys i mentioned. Remember, he's really a point forward, so he guards forwards mostly. He doesnt have to be quick with them, just use his body to cover them.
Last time that I checked Kyrie Irving is NOT Jamal Murray 😂..IFYKYK
My Guy Tim.
He also had that block on SGA a with a minute to go in game 5.
The Mavs weakness has been their suspect D. They’ve really worked at improving that. Huge gains.
Dear ESPN, please fire all reporters who put Jokic and SGA over Luka as MVP. They don't deserve to vote for NBA Awards anymore.
Prisoner of the moment. Luka is a great offensive player, but he's still developing his all-around game. Jokic was Joker this year, but even he took 6 or 7 years to reach the skill level we've seen the last three or four years. Luka needed a sidekick like Kyrie to reach his next level. Kyrie is the real difference in the Mavs this year, and he's taking some of the load off Luka, so they can both shine. Just like MJ needed Pippen, and LeBron needed Kyrie to get the Cavs their ring. Now let's see what the Wolves do in response...
But its the same thing with Jokic. Jokic was always a good and very smart defender, but everyone is so slow to give these guys credit that they're just recently admitting it. Now Luka, who has been playing good defense for a minute, will slowly start to get more people begrudgingly admitting that he is as well. Those guys are just way too smart with way too good anticipation and reflexes to not be at least pretty good defenders. The people who call them liabilities just don't know what they're watching.
sga had a better series against the mavs than Luka did. what does this one game mean in the mvp conversation? doesnt change anything.
@@spenser6353
SGA is not on the same planet as Luka. Luka is so much better.
Mvp is for the regular season. Playoffs are a different beast.
When everyone was saying the mavs was at best a play in team. Tim legler was the only one to say they were his dark horse for the finals
Legler was talking about the Mavs being dangerous with how their stars are playing differently and the level of defense post trade before the playoffs started. Wolves inherit the Nuggets 🎯 and it’s hard not to feel like you won something big after beating the champs. Mavs got that advantage and now home court 😬
wolves probably had a let down after game 7. I think theyll play better next game
TALK YOUR SH!T LEGS!! Mavs in 6
Bro if luka can keep up this defense he will win many chips, this team is good but I think the mavs will be able to get even better the next years. I think lively will has the talent to become dallas‘ own gobert with better offense.
@fk4410 Lively the next Tyson Chandler
Luka was robbed of MVP this year. How can 33.4 ppg, 9rpg , 9apg not win it? Plus both Jokic and SGA eliminated in the 2nd round by lower seeds.
1 is enough. They can't have 2 of them winning that close to each other.
It's a regular season award, use your brain
Jokic is MVP, Luka will be finals MVP
Enough for both Balkan brothers
Stop putting Edwards on these established players level. This is his first go round at this level and he’s not ready for it just yet.
Timmy legs been on mavs since the pj and gafford trade went thru
Tim, it's "coup de grace" not "coup de gras" 🤣 It means the mercy blow that puts a fallen soldier to death. The final -e means you should hear the "c", like a "ss" sound, not silent as in mardi gras.
Luka and Kyrie proving all experts outside leghar are clowns.
Legler knows ball
Why wouldn't Time Legler be a candidate for a head coach? The way he carries himself, the way he speaks, his game/film break down are superb. He is far and away better than some talking heads who only talk about "dawgs". I think if he puts his head into it and was given reign, he'll become a good coach.
It's always Leg day!!!
Luka wants to win a championship!
Ok so yes anthony edwards said " We came out flat today " but he also spoke more on that and clearly explained what he meant by it . Anthony - " We cane out flat today , We found our energy then went back to being flat " as reporters i shouldnt be the one pointing this out and being sarcastic and pusing this " We cane out flat " narrative as of thats all he said 🤷🏻♂️ .
Hey LEGS! His (Luka) perimeter defense in particular against Mike Conley. His about to penetrate but Luka stayed infront of him. Stuck to him like glue. You see that??
let him chase conley around all game like ant was chasing kyrie and see how well he does
I think Minnesota should change up a little bit by putting Edward on the post.
Imagine Dallas play Boston in the NBA finals. That would be an amazing series of matchups.
aside from a couple games, Luka has been excellent on defense this post season
Shoutout Lavar Ball. He was right. The Lakers will never win a championship without Lonzo Ball 🚨
I actually thought he was going to show anothe clip where Luka was straight one on one with Jaden I think and kept him in fron of him the entire time.
2:28 Dont usually someone cut baseline?
