Man does he deserve this, he looked like a monster all year. Showing off why he's the Finnisher with those grown man dunks 💪💪💪
Well deserved. Dude was balling this season. Hope he keeps improving and his team get better to see him in the playoffs
I’ve always liked his game from his days in Chicago. I’m happy to see him shine. Will keep an eye on his career.
Drafted him in the 8th round on my fantasy team, and renamed it "Markkanen for M.I.P"
Won the league
Thanks bruh, looking forward to watching you blow up
Congratulation Lauri🎉💪👍🥰my favorite dunk the Finnisher🇫🇮 watching from Finland🇫🇮
This is what you get from Lauri, when he's coaching is good. And yes, he had a great summer, great euro championship tournament and newly found confidence. Lauri is definitely going to inspire finnish youth to take on hoops mote. Finland has a ice hockey problem.. every other kid or some cases their parents choose hockey over other team sports.
I wouldn't call it a problem 😂
Well. Football has much more players. There are no hockey arenas every village. And nice to play but pretty pointless floorhockey and pesapallo take also a lot of talent.
Suomella on nykypäivänä hyvä mahdollisuudet olla toisiksi para jääkiekko maa maailmassa niin hyvä vaan että suurin osa yksilöistä valitsee jääkiekon.. futis olisi Toinen ihanne kun jos pääsee ulkomaille kehitys ohjelmaan. Laurin tapauksessa harvinaista onkin että Lauri pääsi möttölän kehitys joukkueen kautta yliopistoon ja oli joukkueen ykkös hyökkäys vaihtoehto
Well deserved Lauri was a beast the whole time since he landed with the Jazz.
Dude will come even better next season.🔥😤
Man this guy would feast with Nicola Jokic. He's an excellent cutter, elite Athleticism and one of the best shooter in the league with an unguardable release.The nuggets offense would eplode with him, murray, jokic and Gordon on the floor. One can dream!
he´s basically a bigger, better and smarter mpj if you think about it
@@ferdinand8056 good way to put it
Damn he caught so many bodies this season
If Markkanen can stay healthy he will be a perennial Allstar. Utah better just buy in and start building around him.
But hes not exacly a superstar/batman u could say he could be a championship winning robin though
Hell yea. First season I REALLY followed NBA. Rarely misses. :) TY for getting Finland involved!
imagine how much talent in the league is just sitting there never getting the chance, lauri was almost like that too
Yup! In retrospect, Michael Jordan ruined today's NBA, because so many of today's players "Are trying to be like Mike." Selfish play will never win championships. When one player on your team takes 30 shots, you're going to have problems.
@@axgreenious9400 Jokic is going to change the league and turn everybody into a playmaker, just watch.
@@4evahodlingdoge226 I sure hope you are right, because not many of today's teams are watchable. NBA players need to learn what it is to give fans who pay all that hard earned money a show, like the NHL does. Bring back 1990s NBA; no nights off.
People get clowned for being "postered". I got more respect for someone trying to play D than people who run out of the way.
Markkanen feeding more Americans than the US Welfare system with those dunks.
As a bulls fan. Im happy for him. 🎉
Lauri Bird. Is warming upp.
He's better than Larry the Legend.
Chills, facts, and all the other synonyms 🔥
18:42 I don't know why but this is by far my favorite dunk my Lauri
vitun hyvin pellaa kehola
he goes diagonal in the air😂 It was a hella satisfying dunk
Maybe it's how he catapults him self out of the rim@@jayc6894
He came from a bench guy to an allstar starter
Deserved
Deserved
Well deserved, Lauri!
Thats our guy 🇫🇮❤️
What i notice
Elite catch and shoot
Great/semi elite contact finisher
He is going to evolve great shot creator(if he focuses on shot creating)
Agility and lateral Quickness is need to be a all nba player
Has great iq with out ball is just that he got his confidence back last year
This is huge in Finland, we don't have basketball players.
Well we have this dude called Markkanen :D
24 points for Markkanen 👏👑🇫🇮🏀. Finland just beated Valanciunas Lithuania 👍🏻
Him and clarckson those passes and gameplay huhu
Watching Donovan's poor playoff performance, you have to wonder if the Jazz ended up with the better end of the trade (Markkanen/Obaji/Sexton/+3 picks & a swap)
you right
Man i want to get a purple utah markkanen jersey, to bad they’re never in my size. (That and importing to Canada is miserable at times due to having to pay upwards of 300 bucks for a jersey)
Already knew he was capable of this, he just needed the key
most people who arent casuals knew his potential
This one is well deserved
Beautiful 🔥💪
Bruh just started cooking out of nowhere😂but if you been watching him since college, this is not surprising but long overdue fr.
I love how they put both rudy posters on first 😂
Markkanen☄️🤗🇫🇮
I mean +100 threes and +200 dunks. Beast.
Me waiting for this moment ever since Mike korzemba dropped a video on him years ago
@6:57 I just clicked to see Dillon Brooks get blocked. "Get that shot outta here!"
Get that weak stuff outta here !
👏⭐🎷🇫🇮🏀 Well deserved!
MIP!!!
He came out of nowhere. Jazz gave of Mitchell and Gobert and didn't lose a step.
His dunks remind me of a young Amare Stoudmire.
Full on deserves it
I knew his was nice but for some reason I don’t remember him getting that many posters 😂😂😂
Well deserved Lauri
Upeeta!!
Deserved 👍😎✌️
He looks like me on a 9 foot rim
When did he get this athletic😂😂😂
well deserved
From what i heard his a menace this season lmak
The guy evolved into Pau Gasol
❤️🔥🇫🇮❤️🔥
I will never forgive the warriors for not trading for him
Jordan poole plus picks for Lauri!
We good lol 😂
lauri the goat rn
First Players to ever have 100 dunks And a 100 Threes !!! and some of them dunks NASTY !!!
Wasn't it 100 dunks and 200 threes in a season?
The Finnisher
He’d be a beast in GS !!
torille
Deserves
Lauri doing military service will only make him even tougher for next season :)
AK47 2.0
Another overseas star coming up recently. What’s going on?😂👍🏼
🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
I always knew lauri was cold i wish we never traded Patrick Williams is the worst basketball player to ever play for my team 🤦🏿♂️ Lauri is 7ft dude that can shoot too like why would you get rid of him
Markkanen > Doncic > Mitchel. The Cavs fuq'd up big time trading Markkanen for Mitchell, because Mitchell is nothing more than a poor man's Westbrook, who will never win a team a championship.
Also, Markkanen isn't a ball hog
SGA was my pick
It should have been Austin "The GOAT" Reaves
It’s pretty obvious you’re a lakers fan tho. He’s been good this season but lauri markannnen became an all star from nowhere. JP3 got robbed last year in my opinion
@@darwinking751 lauri Markannen didnt become an all star outta nowhere. He projected to be very good
@@darwinking751 yeah he did. No way Ja should have won that
Yeah AR15 should’ve won this
Congratulations Lauri Markannen,
Finland's Finest.
Bro Shai consistently improving every year both offense and defense. And consistently getting snubbed. Next year it would be impossible for him to be at least be a finalist for the MIP.
Hopefully he be in MVP convo next year
Lauri went from 15 an 5 to 25 and 8 Shai was averaging 25 last year while he still improved Lauri clearly had the bigger jump.
@@Dre4tf its harder to make a jump from all star to superstar than it is to make a jump from good role player to all star. Stats dont show the full picture
Shai was already good.
@@SAINTxSZN not superstar good though, actually had a down year last year
@@spxmma bro if you think they gone give him mip after averaging 25 you nuts😂
RESPECT SHAI
WHOO ???????????????????????? Bruh Brunson Got yah scared.
Joker…
15th
Unfortunately, not in the playoffs
Lauri nice but SGA all day
Its most improved SGA was already good, Lauri was a journeyman role player that saw significant jumps in his stats all across the board over shai. Its not about whose a better player, its who had the most improvement.
@@kohsmoger1567 Yeah some people have a problem understanding the awards definition.
idc should of been shai
Brunson deserved it.
SHAI???.???????
SGA???
wowww bruh that man shai really got robbed 🤦🏿♂
Or you have trouble understanding "most improved". Lauri went from 15 and 5 to 26 and 8 player and in 2023 scored nearly 28ppg.
Lauri with 67%of the votes😂
Sga was robbed
Lauri went from 15 an 5 to 25 and 8 stop it😂 Shai was averaging 25 last year while he still improved Lauri clearly had the bigger jump.
@@Dre4tf Some special flakes having a hard time grasping the concept of "improvement".
🧢
Who? Nobody knows this random
He made the all star he is not a random ur just a casual
@@DNMproudctions9708 anybody can make that
Wouldn’t say that if he was on yo team!
@@Tyler_23566 anybody can make that? Bro don’t deserve to talk sports you jus chattin😂😂
@@Tyler_23566 Can you do all the things he's doing? Just shut your mouth you causal
Robbery alert
Who else was more deserving ?
Shai deserved it, rigged rewarde
Over shai?
Deserved
