Thanks for watching! - Sport
I’m aware that I accidentally said Paul George instead of Jamychal Green. I fixed it on the screen if you look. But thanks to the 25 people who let me know tho😂
You should be a coach, good stuff
He guarded him like Pandemic P
We don’t all look alike bro😂
@@dannysmoove3182 yeah lol i noticed that shit and got mad
He said Burke while it's Dinwidie
I’m Real Madrid fan. I was lucky to enjoy Luka live for 2-3 years. He was so special... Unfortunately It was obvious that NBA would be his next challenge. We all in Spain and Real Madrid are proud of our wonder boy.
asaraviag that’s awesome! Took the United States way too long to recognize him!
asaraviag
I believe he will go back to Real to finish his professional career.
He will dominate the NBA for next 10-15 years and then return to win another Euro league title for Real Madrid and perhaps his national team and retire as the greatest bb player ever.
He is Leo Messi of basketball. Just better
of course you’re proud of a flopper. That’s what you brought to the NBA
DevMamba24
Yep. Flopper averaging 31/9/9 in his first playoff series.
Now that’s a flopper 🤦🏻♂️
If there wasn't the refs' help in playoffs 2018 against Panathinaikos, he wouldn't become Euroleague Champion
his 1st Playoff series average
31.0 points,
9.8 rebounds
8.7 assists
*Guarded by prime kawhi & PG13
(2x DPOY, 9x all-defensive team combined)
* 38 points or more in 3 games
* with ankle injury
* absence of Kristaps Porzingis
* two triple-double,
* 38-9-9 in game 6
* only 21 y.o,
2nd nba season
He gets careless he'll go down like grant hill
Are these stats correct? Had no idea this talented. Kawhi shuts everyone down.
This is the toughest competition Luka might ever face in the playoffs. Hes going to dominate for a long time
You clearly did not watch the series, Kawhi was not guarding him, Marcus Morris was, but great series for luka nevertheless
@@rafazizi try not to wear skinny too tight jeans next time
kawhi,pg,bullymorris & rest of LAC couldnt clamp him down to humble his stat sheet in significance,
despite applying physicality, trashtalk & harsh fouls
Top5 Elite defense of LAC worked in desperation to stop him
> its actually a form of flattery & respect to the 21yo wonderkid sophomore
and im LAC fan and I did watch
After watching Luka for 2 years on the Mavs its easy to see how incredibly skilled he is, all I hope is that injuries don't get the best of him.
he's playing on a bum ankle. I say the kid's tough and can withstand the NBA physicality.
@@truthhurts837 chill out bro didn't i just say the kid's tough?
His dad was basically never seriously injured and he played 17 years of professional basketball. I dont think Luka will be unless someone deliberately injure him.
@@truthhurts837Where did I say that the NBA was more physical than other leagues? Read this statement again:
"he's playing on a bum ankle. I say the kid's tough and can withstand the NBA physicality."
Where in that statement did I say that the NBA is more physical than other leagues? Did I say the NBA is more physical than Euroleague, CBA, or FIBA? I said "can withstand the NBA physicality"
Did I make the false assumption?
danny rowland Dirk Nowitzki is my fave player of all time so NO, i do not think Euro players are soft. And NO i never thought or assumed Luka can’t play in the NBA, and handle the “physicality” - if anything, he’s proven it- as i mentioned that he’s playing (even dropping triple doubles) on a bum ankle.
This was a brilliant breakdown. I watch 100% of Luka's minutes but still learned a ton. Well done.
Just what i wanted to say. Definitely needs a share
if you saw luka's training video in the euroleague when he was 15, they trained him like an attack dog. no wonder hes lethal lol
@@shreksson4775 what you mean. i saw it on my instagram feed.
HAHAHAHAHAHA ATTACK DOG
How do you mean. Hopefully they didn’t overwork him :/
@@86hills59 overwork or not. Look what he became now. Atleast that paid off and he made past through it
I can you people you time the all stars hart me you fans kalang nila mabubuhay sila wala kayo people mondo this world is chenged
I remember watching Luka when he was playing In Europe he was big time here in Europe at a very young age!
Went pro at 13
I cant believe multiple teams passed on him..
Bow Evanko not true he went pro at 16 and his debut in 2015 meaning he was 16 when he went pro...
He went to Spain at 13...
minimalisch minimalisxh he didn’t get paid until 16 making him a pro at 16
Real Madrid euroleague run that ended in Belgrade was epic
This guy knows when to stop when to speed up. Slow but steady. Love him.
acceleration and vertical aint the only 2 parameters to measure athleticism...for example, his decceleration and balance are second to none...
kinda like kawhi. they both cold
@@mcaremcare4317 probably cause of football since European love football
Yeah because he has like 10k games under his belt
He has footwork not rushing when driving unlike those athletic, fast players. They're just athletic, long but no footwork that's what separate Jordan, Hakeem and Kobe.
Do you mean those 4 have good footwork, or Doncic has better footwork?
@@iranianintelligenceagency9337 tanga
@@iranianintelligenceagency9337 I mean, Hakeem is mentioned there, I'll argue that no one in the NBA have better footwork then Hakeem, I mean his dream shake literally carries the Rockets
@@mochi4387 I agree. Watching him started making me get dizzy lol.
Yeah he’s saying those three had incredible footwork, and he’s saying that’s why some crazy athletic guys these days just aren’t that great.
Because he is not relying on elite athleticism, Luka will have a very long career.
Playing like he plays, I could seem him lasting until he is .....say 45 years old.
Definitely long 45s a stretch tho
@@sheldon6307 I was going to say 50 yo.
But, I wanted to be realistic
. 😎😎🤣
@Pluck-E Yeah. His BB IQ will be off the charts. He will be a guru on the court.
He will be like a god, performing miracles, that no one can understand.
Lebron is 36 and still athletic, remember.....
Good as long as it bring emotions like in tje old days great match ups and competitive relvery ok but to see 1 guy dominats with no team acumplishment is like sean Iverson for years . Waith iverson won MVP . I goid that you have fate but you sound like a clown for that type of prediction 45 years . Ah weit a minute you menth 4 to 5 season i got you .
he's like a mix of bron and harden without the choke gene.
Magic and Kobe
@@aldinmajstoric1352 Trica? Kreiranje šuta?
Stepbackovi?
Ne bih rekao
He needs elite work ethic like Lebron. Most players are lucky to hit a single buzzer beater in their career. Luka has already hit 4. He loves clutch.
i wonder if him going pro 6 years ago might have helped with his maturity on the court🤔
It does. Im aure he prolly played with or against dudes that were high major d1 basketball players cuz not all of them make it to the NBA
2021 and now he's improved his defense. Kid just keeps improving.
Epic breakdown... your channel is LEGEND
0:40
Change of pace
3:46
Willingness to pass, helps to score
4:52
Push cross
5:17
Inverted drag
5:54
Veer finish
6:15
Evasion finish - opposite of Veer
Love it man so tough it’s so important to have some contact finishes like veer and counter it with the euro or long step evasion-type finishes so you can dance around them when they freeze. Ty!
Well said, well done.
He has great basketball IQ and shooting ability but his ability to handle the ball at an elite level is how he can change pace so easily and fluid.
he never picks up his dribble and if you watch closely his moves are on the down dribble, most players gather when the ball is coming up on the dribble.
I wouldn't say it's true he never picks up his dribble. He rarely is forced to pick it up though, and when he does pick it up he often had a plan.
Everyone plans and expects screens at the 3-point line.
Luka sees, plans and executes a screen in the paint without even his teammate realizing what's going on. 2:36
They do realize. It is common in bb. But yeah, this is one of the good signs he sees and uses everything :)
great video!
Great summary!
Nice breakdown!!!
Keep up the good work ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Well ... doncic is the smartest player I ve seen , since dimitris diamantidis..
In NBA you are used to players that offers a show , that scores many buckets etc
But that ain't basketball..
Playing the game and understanding - knowing the game are two different things
Great commentary. The script was amazing. How did you learn to analyze the game? Also, as I watched Doncic go through his reads and respond, I got the image of how he and players like him are the equlivalent of football quarterbacks and running backs, floor generals who can finish plays unless the defense gives them a more favorable option.
18 months later and he's even MORE unstoppable now.
That step-back shot is KILLER
Check Wiggins stop him
Excellent analysis.
It's amazing how much advantage he's getting (in this video) coming off a screen. Baiting is an amazing idea. I call it "magnetizing" a player, so defenders are attracted to him. Once you're a threat the defense gets warped/twisted/destroyed. Good video.
Incredible, peripheral view read and mind/hand coordination. I was really amazed about how he uses pacing effectively very skilled and adaptive. Always wondered how he is the slowest and quickest player on the court.
this was a great breakdown of Lukas game well done
5:21 Brad, do you remember me? yeah, you do, I was 17 when you were playing for Fenerbahçe... this time there is no Vesely to kill me in the paint...
Great breakdown!
This was exactly what I was looking for when I searched for a video breakdown of Doncic’s skills. Thanks
This was a very good breakdown of some of the secret sauce Luka Doncic uses 💯
Thank you 👍
People think it's all about just blowing by people. I played with a guard in college who changed speeds so well he always had defenders off balance. It's like a great running back in football. who changes speeds to use his blockers. Luca is like a great running back pausing, changing speeds to create space to score.
Nice work.
nailed it!
wow dope breakdown man
Changing the pace and force the defense to make a decision is key to basketball and i have to learn to use it better cause i relied many years on my speed cause i was the fastest here around in.
This is also the key to play till your 40s if you have a decent shot.
I only used it for the hesitation dribble like doncic to catch the wrong foot and to go around the helper. But almost never attacking the rim or seldom at picks.
Thx!!!
I think the term your looking for is cadence. Bruce Lee talked about cadence of movement in martial arts a lot and I've never seen anyone in basketball utilize this quality so masterfully
He’s only 23 and playing like he’s already in his prime. If he isnt in his prime now and there is an extra gear that he can hit, its going to be a scary sight for teams across the league. And the craziest thing about it is that I do believe his game can improve. But i think whats even scarier is that i truly believe that he will be able to sustain this level of production for years to come. Even past his physical prime. His game relies so little on athleticism that it’s not hard to imagine him being a 35 year old veteran still doing crazy numbers as his already elite mechanics, IQ and feel of the game continue to sharpen.
Luka to me is truly a one of a kind player. I dont think we’ve ever seen a player dominate with this level of poise and maturity so early on in their career. Usually young superstars have to rely on using their physical strength and explosiveness to make a name for themselves but Luka has essentially created a new blueprint for newcomers.
He is what James Harden could have been if he didn't choke in playoffs.
The instance of him at 5:10 where he changes speed is good, but he uses that push-cross the instant he knows that kawhii isn't coming from behind to strip him. That's the moment he bursts out the gate, not because of the defender in front.
very good analysis
same being said for chirst paul too.
i mean it astounds me that he doesn't appear quick, but can get off many mid rangers and being barely 6' tall.
expert timing and change of pace.
Great breakdown. Luka is an incredible talent. Makes me wanna go play 🏀.
Do it, I started playing 4 times a week 6 weeks ago and have never felt better
Very good breakdown.
Cool content !
nice channel, subscribed
Seriously amazing break down here. If you aren't coaching kids, dude...consider it :) It's extremely rewarding.
Luka is strong and knows how to use his strength like Barkley to score in the paint. He has a lightening quick cross-over for a guy his size. He's special. He might be the most hybrid of hybrid players now. It doesn't hurt that he can hit outside shots from anywhere with confidence. He'll be a top 10 or top 5 player of all time if he stays healthy.
Can you do jimmy butler or LaVine
that was outstanding
.
That gave me more insite.. (Im a fan, not a player) ..than any other video I've watched.
Great work
Great channel
I'm surprised nobody in these videos name what's probably Luka's main offensive asset: Footwork. Dude doesn't give any more steps than what's needed for any given move, has an economy of movement than more than compensates for his size and less innate athleticism when compared with other (on paper) much more athletic guys. He's incredible in his fundamentals and that, alongside with his obvious court vision and BBall IQ is where the rest of his offensive game is built upon. None of what's pointed in this video would be possible for him to do if he didn't have the footwork he has.
its March 17, 2022 and yes your analysis is right.. right now he is phenomenal.. in spand of 3yrs he is already cementing his legacy in NBA
Luka uses his eurostep the same way Manu did, not just to sidestep but to jumanji his way toward the rim
Do more basketball breakdown this video helped my game
Luca has that Andre Miller skill that kept more athletic and faster players frustrated year after year. It will keep him among the best players for many years.
The big thing is he can handle the ball in traffic
Fantastic analysis of what make Luka great! His fundamentals and brain will probably make him a top 10 player of all time when he's done like Bird. You don't necessarily have to have all the athleticism some of these players have to dominate.
luka trains/prepares in a manner that accounts for help def and making a read based on lead or help defender; alot of guys spend years working in beating the initial defender/lead defender, but their handle/creation/iq/etc doesnt account for help def or traps... so by the time they start adjusting or trying to adjust its too late and it taks 2-5 yrs to consistently improve decision making vision etc
Helps you can't touch a player above the 3 line. I'm also guessing he's extremely strong for his age much like lebron. Look he he runs through contact especially at the rim. It offsets his athleticism and speed. To be that strong so young is amazing
Luka biggest weakness is emotional. He gives low effort sometimes when things dont go his way. And his technicals. But amazing play. So smart.
he's still young, man. give him some leeway.
It's pretty facinating because I'm been looking at the numbers and he's putting up numbers that are super elite. He doesn't (to me) look all that gifter just watching his play, compared to say Jordan which just watching him play you knew he was just different from everyone else. I used to call him cat slick, because his timing was like a cat playing amounds dogs. Luca looks just like one of the dogs, but his results are up there with Jordan, and I would never have though that was possible. Let's see if he can maintain that level for 15 years.
Can you do one for big men? I have found no guides
Pleas do a breakdown of D'angelo Russell. He's the most slept on player in the league. And his style of play is actually very similar to Luka.
good video, but i think you forget to mention his ability to shoot the ball, i mean his stepback is not like hardens but pretty good also. as a defender you always have to keep that in mind. makes it even harder to guard him.
Harden travels. Doncic doesn't.
I would love for you to do some breakdowns on defensive players.
Not many videos but exactly what your looking for: czcams.com/users/CoachMike
Yes my majesty but, I’ve been subbed for 7 months, but thx anyway.
Nostalgia _ oh lol, well good too see a fellow fan of defence.
Nostalgia _ That’s great bro!
Luka is amazing!
what a man, gave me the chillz, saw him shake so many dudes!!! lol i saw that guys!!
How do you make your NBA player workouts? I want to make my own to use when I workout for players you haven’t gotten yet
Just watch film and put it together
He plays so efficiently, makes it look easy
Thanks bro...I'm the big fans of Luka Doncic😊😊
Subbed
It’s his shooting that gives him the edge to be this good and allows him to be creative o offensive end
Its like watching slow motion but hes making it look easy
Something I don’t understand is that if you have to go against someone who doesn’t relax and is Always prepared and playing good defense, how do you prepare. Ik you said at time like 3:30 that you know where you are going and the defender doesn’t so you can use that to be a step ahead but if you aren’t as athletic or explosive, which is pretty much the point I think, shouldn’t the defender be able to catch up.
Luka has a similar style to Shrempf who played for the Seattle Sonics. Way back in the day
Top 5 player in the world no cap
no 🧢
Someone, please tell me, why the first footage why NOT travellng? THX
Yo thats what Hot Sauce used to do!! Phillip Champion!
Luka is so dominant because of his skill set and experience playing grown men his whole life. His big body also makes him a huge threat from anywhere on the court
Luka is easily the most funnest player to watch in the NBA right now (2022). Can't wait for the new season to start.
I noticed in this video alot of players in the league make alot of mistakes on defense . They don't get low when going over screens , bigs stand straight up when he's attacking down hill and alot of the help comes late . Not beating him to the spots he is trying to get ect.
Yeah...you just noticed that in NBA, apart from playoffs, players do not really defend...we do it muuuuch more in Europe, but I guess in the US it is not encouraged since it would limit a lot spectacularity.
I don't mean to rush but when are u going to do the Emmanuel maldonado workout
Marcus Watts it’s going to be a while I’ve got a lot of workouts to get to before him
Luka is Larry Bird junior
It’s pretty simple actually. If you leave him open for 3 he makes it so you have to get up close. Being close allows him to fake you out and makes other defenders have to help on defense. When they come w help someone’s wide open and Luka is a willing passer always looking for teammates. He’s a triple threat with the height to get shots off on almost anyone.
Luka could go down as the best point guard ever he’s got a Magic type of build and IQ with the scoring of a Harden plus he grabs boards like Magic too
awesome
Yup. It's angles, timing, and change of pace/direction. He forces you to commit one way and then counters the other...& he is money either way.
it looks like pure magic when he starts playing
Was a very big drazen fan, but now i say he is better at the same age like Petro
He also doesn't telegraph his moves at all.. I mean his ballhandling is seemless so the defender is left guessing until the very last second on what he plans to do.
Luka has the same reading as cp3, luka is taller, bigger and stronger thats why he excels so much,
You can say he is one of the top 3 of the best point guard in the league right now
He Called green Paul George lmao 😂
How do you fuck that up? 😂😂😂
Hey Vision Driven Basketball- Where do you rank him (in a number category) in the NBA among the Top/Best players in the NBA? Is he in the Top 20, where is your ranking?
Ed Norm he’s top 10 easily. Probably top 7.
@@VisionDrivenBasketball That's crazy, I knew he was good and have seen highlights of him, I even seen Kobe Praise him.
That's amazing you put things into perspective on his greatness. thank you. I believe he might be somewhat underated,
Just imagine this - if Clippers didn't take Morris during the free agency chances are Mavs might've blown by the Clippers.
Ofcourse they acquired Burke themselves but still, Mavs have 3 injured players and 1 not in the bubble, that's being 4 players short and STILL giving headaches to the favourites to win the whole thing
Kinda reminds on the story of Pistol Pete, ofc not that close to the last shot but still 🤔😃
VArsovski10 the Mavs going forward have a chance to be really good for a while
Luka signed contract with one of 3 best teams in Europe.He was awarded with rising star,MVP of Spanish league (a league second only to the NBA),MVP of Europe League,MVP of the Final Four,MVP of the finals,,,,nickname-Wonderboy....and now these things that he is doing at the NBA,,,,he can't be outclassed!He is set to be one of the 5 best players ever in the game of basketball!Only if there are no major injuries.
He’s an amazing player. It makes me sad to think of what the Suns could’ve been if they had the foresight to draft him.
