The fact that Luka respects Dwight and his story behind number 7 is amazing, and that’s why he took number 77
How do you know that?
luka took 77 because his number 7 which he wore at real madrid wasnt available
That’s a great detail 🙏🏼
Now 77 is luka's trade mark
Yep and Luka s favorite number is 7! He has 77 on Slovenia's national team so he picked 77, also as great of a personality Luka is, I can imagine he knew that and picked the 77 to honor Dwight and his mom but at the end of the day only Luka knows his motivation, nevertheless a great and humble kid and hopefully our franchise player and goat for the next 20+ years
So this is why Dwight Powell plays with so much intensity and hustle
I was fortunate enough to play with Dwight at IMG. We played at the same position and we were both the same age. I met his mum, as did my parents when they came to visit. Both Dwight's mother and Dwight were amazing people to be around and I am glad to say that I got the chance to know them.
Kid has been through so much and we've been clowning his ass
@@ayidonno Yea I only just discovered this now
Mrs. Powell's the best, man. What a hero.
It's that energy and attitude that creates progress in this world.
Dwight Powell was already one of my favorite players. This video made me love him more
That’s awesome
Our beautiful queens that raised us all. We probably never know the seen and unseen dangers they kept us from to get us where we needed to be
Pff kids.. I helped my mom since I was 12.. Life in ex ussr cou tries was hardcore.
What about deadbeat moms
Such a good inspirational story. This is what makes Feature Fridays so good!

Ikr Fridays are the best
Thanks Juan!!
Great piece Case!
Another great video. I’m a mavs fan, but didn’t know any of this. Very inspirational.
As a mavs fan I can say he's still trash
As a mvs fan i just wish he will be traded for a legit center that can rebound
@@bigzsakuragi6963 as a mavs fan I think that him and Cauley stein together are worth about $5
Replies to this reaffirming my descision to abandon all online Mavs fan communities.
@all of fans he good . But he isn't a all star .
Until now I don’t know anything about him outside of basketball...
Yeah - I was shocked to hear this story but I definitely root for him now.
Yeah i knew he was a good role player
@@combatbird1083 same
@@AMHoops I really enjoy this style content. It’s similar to what I try to do but you’re better at it than me. I actually just posted a video about Max Kellerman’s brother who was killed by a professional boxer. It’s easy to root for guys who’ve been through it.
What a testimony! I know momma is proud.
have always loved Dwight, didn't even know this is his story. his grit and determination and work ethics are just so apparent you can't miss it, really standing out. #mffl
Luv these type of videos about players Motivation life. I live in Toronto, know Powell is a Canadian but never knew about his mom's inspirational story. Thx for sharing this. I will respect him even more now.
That just shows what great organization the Mavs are and that they are stacked with those amazing personalities! Starting from Steve Nash and Dirk, what they did for their communities and it carried on! Luka, Maxi, Dwight, Wes Iwundu, Bobi, Brunson, Mark Cuban, I'm proud to be a Mavs fan since the 90's and if you aren't supporting their biggest rivals there is really no reason for you to hate the Mavs!
Felt gutted when I heard about his mom. Dwight and his mom are truly incredible. Thanks for sharing this story.
i love his story and its really an inspiration, he is my one only crush in the NBA, i like the attitude being calm and the way he play basketball, hopefully one day he can notice me..☺😍
This man is so so inspirational
As a Mavs fan I didn't know it was possible to like Dwight Powell
Haha
Sorry but you’re just a casual mavs fan if Dwight Powell isn’t one of your favorite players on the team.
@@cheeseballs9579 right on
Wow. This is super inspirational. I hope people give this Feature Friday videos more. They are awesome
Casey always keep doing this feature Friday . This is just brilliant
As a Lakers fan I like the luka and kp duo but this story makes me want to actually watch some dallas games
Hopefully you got to watch when he scored 25 against the Lakers pretty much all off the pick and roll
@@cheeseballs9579 luka cooked us and also ended Grizzlies with that shot
Thank you for sharing his story with us. It’s absolutely inspirational story
Thanks for the kind words Ahmed!
Nobody:
Casey in the past few weeks: Yeah, I used to be on TV
💀
Love these videos - gotta do one on Dorian Finney-Smith. his story is amazing and inspiring
Waiting for this still
Need this like AIR!
I always loved his game but I never knew about his story. Im sure his mother would be proud❤️💯
Coach vlad is also a teacher here in toronto and he was my grade 9 buisness and technology teacher, this is MIND blowing to me
That’s awesome!!

What a story. Its sad that he takes so much hate on Mavs Twitter.
He’s a racist Chad

Another great story, good job Casey!
Damn didn’t know he was from Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🔥👑

Great vid casey keep up the good work
Appreciate hearing that quote! 🙏
I didn't know that but I have Alot of Respect for him and I'm truly Grateful for the Caring Giving Person he's become. SALUTE To this Brother. May God Bless Him
ANOTHER EPIC VIDEO! THANK CASEY!
Didn`t know... I liked Powell from the start though. His whole demeanour, sportsmanship and hard work.... He seems like a great dude.
Feature Friday is the best of A.M. Hoops
Great video! Great Man 👍
He's already my favorite player
Nice vid.Really great job
Thanks Welford 🙌🏼
Man, so inspirational
God bless you, Dwight. And to your mother, Ms. Weir RIP 🙏🏀
I'm guessing his mom would probably trade some of those 35 years back to have a bit more time with her son. Touching but puts "hard work" into perspective sometimes. No one ever regrets spending more time with family, and less time grinding. Dreams come at a price
it was all for him, so she could raise and support him while being all alone .
Always good to see my Mavs get love!
Yessir!
Love this story ❤ 💕 💗 💖
He has a good heart .. you can see his face
Such an amazing story
Quite a story. Hard work and a loving Mother
great vid
Future players association President. The best, classiest player in the league. And it’s not close.
Never heard of him, great video 👍🏾
Nice work 🌠✨🎇
This just proves that everything is bigger than basketball
This content is better than the trade rumors videos.
Great Story, nice kid. How about Odd/Sad tale of Bison Dele, or Brian Williams
Before this video, I already liked him because he is from Canada like me
I am too but never knew he was Canadian
And now they had to start him again after promising Mcgee as starter, never shoulda started Mcgee over him, and now they know ...again...after he started while they made the WCF, and added like 30 lbs of muscle lol, look at his this yr, he is JACKED!
THATS MA MAN. he been strugglin since that achilles but still tha man🤞🏻🙏
Ok. Now I know why Luka still has No. 77 and didn't steal that No. 7 from Powell.
That’s dope
Great video! Mavs fan here
Look at dwight so inspirational (all jokes aside this is a very sad story)
Nice vid
Yeah another good video
Great guy💯
Wow, what story!
I love Dwight powell
I am a mavs fan but I didn't know about this. Inspirational story for sure.
Wow! Just wow 😢
Yessir Braden! 🙌🏼
Raptors fan here. Please, please send him back home for Dragic
God bless Dwight Powell and to his mother R.I.P 🙏🕊
I’m crying 😭
Powell made 67% of his free throws last year but has hit 17-18 in the last month. 4-4 with a three pointer last night and an impressive block. He’s back!!!! Finally people will see the real Dwight Powell over the last few months of this season. The bounce is back!!!! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. He’s Luka’s rock in the paint on offense.
Nice video
god bless you brother
Luka x Dwight are my top Mavs Fave players
Wow!!!
Didn’t know who he was 🤣 but this is completely inspirational. Incredible story!
love him, he is a good role model to young generation :*
great story
I'm a big Mavs fan and I am just now learning this.
His barber was my barber when he was younger, I live in Toronto as well
look at am hoops man so inspirational
Third comment casey u gotta like
Great vid btw
Damn 😢😢😢😢
DP is an important piece of Mavs culture for sure #mffl
Most of Mavs fans wants him gone because of poor performance just what you said he just came from achilles tear. But I thinks hes a really good dude with these story he'll get a good buch of fans with his hardwork
He’s a great guy and I know his mother is proud! But we do need to trade him, he’s a liability out there because he’s not that strong. You have to think bro these dudes are making millions of dollars. Him and his family will be set for life and his kids will never want for anything. Being traded just comes with the territory. I love his story though, he’s an inspiration to a lot of people.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Can you do a redraft of 2014 nba draft. A lot of them is reaching their potential this year. Julius Randle, Zach Lavine, Jordan Clarkson, Andrew Wiggins, Jokic, Embiid etc
Damn what a legend
I wasn’t tryna cry today bro chill
Let’s gooooo Dwight training at hoop dome aka the hanger
More fans have been calling for Dal to trade him than anyone. I hope Cuban keeps him. For all the reasons able plus basketball attributes. Pre injury or post, he can contribute.
I’m surprised we didn’t see any March madness bracket prediction videos this week
I’m not a college hoops fan
if I remember correctly, in the "Metamedicine" ... Iuervedic, breaking the Achilles means from the psychosomatic point of view ... detaching from the past from an important figure and if the foot is left then the figure sex is...
I didn't realize how much of a badass Powell was
