Even Lebron Had To Admit That Luka OUTSMARTED Him...

Even Lebron himself had to give respect to Luka for what he did to the Lakers.
Watch the chess game that went on on the court. In order to get the favorable matchup of Austin Reaves on Doncic, the Mavs use him as the screener. And Hardaway’s quickness forces Prince to switch and close down the lane. So Dallas get what they want, and now we got the easy blow-by here by Luka despite going 2 miles an hour, forcing the defense to close down on him.
Even with 3 guys around Doncic doesn’t panic and finds Exum wide open in the corner for the 3.
Right here we got 1 screen and a switch, and another one which the Lakers also switch.
At this moment there is a lob threat, which both Lebron and Reddish are ready to intercept,
Williams is open on the wing but Exum is right next to Luka all alone as well off because James helps down low off of him.
And with all the time in the world to get set, Dante hits another three.
This one needs no additional commentary.
The way that Doncic makes these finds look so easy is unbelievable. Exum benefited a lot from all the attention that Luka attracted from the defense and there’s a reason why he shot 7 for 9 from downtown. He was wide open on all of these.
Now this is where things get interesting with Exum.
I guess the Lakers followed the scouting report saying that he was 8 for 28 from downtown coming into the game,
but what they may not know is that Donte shot 42% from beyond the arc during his 2 seasons in Europe.
And if you can knock it down in Serbia in this type of atmosphere, you know that this is legit.
So why the slow start then? Well, due to limited playing time he couldn’t really get into a rhythm, and has a bunch of 0 for 1 and 0 for 2 games. That’s not enough shots and rhythm.
So now in the last 3 games, with Kyrie, Josh Green and Derrick Jones Jr not playing- Dante has been getting 35 minutes per game and he’s been using that to the fullest.
Going back to Luka tho, just watch what happens here. On the second consecutive screen, he gets in front of Reddish and it’s a 2 on 1 against Lebron. He does a good job initially of staying in the middle between Doncic and Lively on the potential lob, but did you catch that?
Let me run it back to show you how Luka raises his arm faking out James for the pass, and that leaves the lane wide open for him on the layup.
That type of patience in a split second situation is incredible, and he does it again here on the drive as he stays patient with 3 guys on him he just pump fakes- sending everyone flying, and puts it in.
This is a similar situation like the Lebron example, with a double screen on Luka only this time AD doesn’t stay in the middle and attacks Doncic instead. So we got…
Not only did he completely dissect the Lakers defense for the entire game, but he’s been on an absolute tear for the last 8 games scoring at least 30 everytime, he got 35 point triple doubles and a bunch of other crazy stats. He’s been on a rampage lately.
But I gotta give a special shoutout to Tim Hardaway Jr for his effort.
You see the 32 points on efficient shooting, and of course that’s phenomenal, but what you won’t see in the boxscore are sacrifices like this one right here getting the offensive foul.
Then the same thing in the second quarter against Reaves.
And in the fourth we got yet another charge for Hardaway forcing another turnover.
He’s second in the league in this category actually, but despite that, I just love the role that he’s got with the team this year coming off the bench and being efficient.
Almost 18 points per game on 39.0% from downtown, that’s how you help Luka and Kyrie and make this team dangerous in the west.
With 4 wins in a row, the Mavs have been rolling lately, and contrary to them- the Pelicans have been up and down this season, and Zion heard the comments about him being fat and out of shape so here’s what he did. Check out the video right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out. - Sport
The strongest strengh that Luka has is the fact that he is making unusual stuff that nobody can predict and so making chaos in enemy defense
It is called intelligence.
Love seeing Exum having success in the NBA!
Yeah it put a smile on my face whenever a player who has suffered an injury bounce back to some extend. Hope he will find his place.
Just goes to show that you should never give up on some, some players just need the right system and timing to reach full potential. Love to see it!
This is a great opportunity for him. He probably hasn’t been this open for spot ups in a while with Luka’s playmaking. He’s no slouch either as a backup PG or when Luka is getting doubled full court.
Luka is James harden with a worse free throw
He is never going to shoot like this again. Dante Exum always has a moment here and there every season; a cool pass or tuff move; this year he had a hot night. Not gonna happen again. This is like if Andre Drummond went and had himself a 30pt game.
Both Doncic and Jokic bring that Euro slow-mo pace to the NBA and that shit is like magic. I don't think it's a matter of the defenders getting used to it, it's much more complicated than that. Particularly with Doncic, by moving slower it increases the odds of an open look opening up somewhere. Also, the defender is almost 100% reactive to the ball handler, so the speed really is set by the ball handler and the defender can't do much about that except look silly for getting beat. By going slower and putting emphasis on his moves, it makes this illusion to a defender that he's a sitting duck or that he's making a mistake. But as soon as the defender makes the move he thinks is right to capitalize, Doncic tricks that defender and moves on, and only after the goal is made do his opponents realize the larger plot he used them in. Jokic is an entirely different beast, but similarly knows the importance of owning the pace of play.
More like Larry Bird. Magic is more comfortable in high tempo, for slow tempo Larry was Doncic before Doncic
nah, it's not about speed, it's about acceleration. It's much easier to accelerate when you're going slow. And you have more control. The split-second a defender is off-balance, you can go.
Also, when going slow, defenders look around more for screens because they are more stable. When at speed, you can't really do that. But because of that, defense has less eye on the ballhandler. Which gives them that split second too. Harden was a master because of his stationary dribble, and then accelerate past the player.
@@PribumiNusantara45he wasn't referring to Magic I'm sure..
Lmao
I think another way to put it is the tradeoff between control and speed. Specifically how those two aspects create a tempo that your defender has to react to, and thus, giving you choices to make. By "slowing" things down, they're increasing the amount of control and options they have, and it's all still happening fast enough that the defender doesn't have time to break down what the options available are, and gets stuck in a guessing game that has like 5 different choices: a lob, a slow drive, a step back, a screen, a fake... it just makes the base nature of the game much more difficult.
Luka's passing and Exum's preformance tonight was amazing to watch.
If Exum could play like that every game, Mavs could be dangerous.
Yup, he is a very good player. I just hope they play him more minutes, if he gets hot he is going to be dangerous@@dannyhernandez265
@@dannyhernandez265he could be iggy. Then needed one forever
Tim was amazing too. They are stronger than 2 years ago... 😊 Its smell chip! 🎉
A morte de Luka…?!! 🤔???
I saw one minute of this game live and I was lucky enough to see that around the back kick out assist. Amazing. I gasped.
My man HC giving us the shout out for making a great atmosphere in Belgrade 🙌🖤 🤍
Luka is what Harden wish he were. Not only is Luka a scoring machine, but he can get his teammates involved and can make all players around him so much better.
very well said
i always asked myself what prime harden would look like if he was more efficient and an actual playoff performer...
guess luka was the answer
wait, can we go back to that game in Serbia with the smoke and the chanting? what the hell was that?!
An ordinary day on Serbian basketball game... Exum's ex club - Partizan! You don't have to win just the opposite team. You play that team's stands if you're a guest team and it's not easy. The whole stadium shakes. The flares are on, the club's anthem is sung. The whole stands are ready to f: someone's mother if needed.
Unfortunately, sometimes things go very wrong; fans of Crvena Zvezda were attacked in Bologna, Italy in October this year and it was bad. One got hammer in head, the rest of them were his body shield (he was knocked out). Maybe a month later, Crvena Zvezda's stuff were attacked in Croatia.
I remember that some journalist asked Jokić if he was afraid, or something like that when Miami fans booed him. He said: "Brother, I played in Serbia"! Some American player went back to the NBA and was asked if he was afraid playing against Kobe (he would guard him). He said: "Man, I played Belgrade fans! What's Kobe for me"?
🙏🏾 YEAH MY BROTHER TOTALLY AGREE WITH U 💯 THAT'S BATTLE GROUNDS FR.💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾
This is why Euro league players are so good in tough situations. If you can rise to the challenge with that crowd nothing can phase you. It literally unlocked Dante’s offense playing for Partizan and Barcelona.
I still cant understand how these Europeans Like Jokic and Luka are so slow and clunky looking but they're still the best in the world. Their craftiness and passing is truly some incredible stuff, they're gonna go down as top 10's for sure
I think Luka has the potential to be called the goat if he wins some championships
@@John.Wick999nah bro. You think he gonna win 6 chips? He don't care about all that talk man
@@alvin6879 u don't gotta win 6 championships to be the greatest of all time but what makes u think he doesn't care about winning a chip?
@@John.Wick999 I definitely think you're right bro, Luka is a fuckin alien. He definitely has the chance to be the GOAT. And by homeboys logic, if rings are all that matters Bill Russell's 11 rings makes him an undefeatable GOAT. No diss to Bill Russell, but we all know that's not true.
@@John.Wick999 Of course you do. How on earth do you think he gonna eclipse MJ? Bruhh be real. Nobody gonna overtake him.
Luka definitely cares about winning a chip. I'm saying he isn't interested in the GOAT talks. He and Jokic just wanna hoop and chill
What Luka has been doing with half the Mavs team out is something noone else has been doing in the NBA lately. Clear MVP so far. You saw the reality of this team when he was out against Grizzlies (and thatwqs with Kyrie, DJJ, Green healthy). Dude is carrying a team that is fielding lineups of 4 summerleqgue perticipants (Lively, Omax, Hardy, Lawson at times) next to him, to 3rd place in the west.
Nuggets have been winning against the likes of Chichago, Clippers even without Joker and Murray for example.
Luka is the only thing making the Mavericks relevant. Without him; they’re another Portland Trailblazers.
@@dannyhernandez265 I mean without him they got blown out by goddamn grizzlies without half the team, so being as good as Blazers would be best case scenario
@@whocares3201 yeah man. Luka deserves more praise. Doesn’t get enough despite carrying the mavericks franchise.
Luka ball is insane to watch when him and the Mavs are making shots. It’s an open look every play. Either Luka goes one on one or you help and he or someone else finds the open man. Lakers would’ve had a much easier time if Vanderbelt was playing. Prince and Reddish didn’t have the length or strength to defend him. The problem with the Mavs tho is they live and die by the 3, which works most the time but if those 3s aren’t falling the team will fall apart on offense. Exum, Williams and Hardaway combing for 17 3s on 65% isn’t something you can ever rely on
@@BayAreaHoops415 I mean terrible shooting lakers shot 52% from 3, that wont happen every game either. Prince was 5/6, Reaves hit some of the luckiest shoots you will ever see (he always does against Mavs somehow), hell even AD hit a 3 after months. Shooting luck was on Lakers side, refs were trying their best, mavs were out half the team and were on 2nd night if b2b...I would not say they got lucky at all.
I like how he looks at the Lakers bench after that impossible-to-believe pass. He probably said, "Bet you haven't seen that before." 😁
I swear every time you see “not a shooter” on the scouting report, that guy is gonna light you up from 3. Happens every time
Exum has been hoopin last couple games for the Mavs
Revived his career
Exum has been hoopin for a year or two. Partizan is no joke, and for Australia this summer in FIBA he was great.
Never seen anything like Luka ever in the P&R! Dude is an absolute genius!
he looks slow, but...
Ive seen someone like him before . His name is larry bird
@@Mahdi_AmineLuka is the modern day equivalent of Larry Bird.
@@dannyhernandez265no tf he’s not
@@dannyhernandez265 Stop comparing Larry to Luka jezus. If Luka had Birds celtics roster he would probably have 3 rings by now.
2 miles per hour is a violation 😂
luka 8 g ames in a row 30+ pts, getting crazy stats, being 3rd in the west, still not enough to be even top3 in mvp race, what a bullshit, he's easily top2 rn
His game been nice he was a projected top 5 draft pick. Whoever scouts for the mavs has always had a good eye with picking underrated players
Vlade Divac : No ....!!!!
Luka plays like a smaller Jokic
2 best players in the world, they're equally good. Their game is different tho, Luka's better on the ball player he's 6'7 with a great handle, strength etc, Jokic is way taller so he's better off ball ,they will destroy you in different ways but equally effective
Don’t disrespect luka
They’re both playmakers other than that they have no similarities in their game.
@@Adj8llk I do feel like Jokic has separated from the pack at this point, which honestly feels like the first time since LeBron mid-2010s that there's a definitive answer for the best player in the world. But Luka has gotta be #2
no he fucking doesn’t
Exum is finally living up to that NBA 2k15 hype
Not really that much of a chess match as it was the Mavs hitting every single 3 imaginable, contested or uncontested.
The Best Shooter become The Best Decoy 🔥🔥
Lukas handle is so slow, but it’s so precise he knows how to get to any point on the court
High quality content, always!
Keep it going Young King ✊🏻 you've been on FIRE lately 🔥
Lately? He's been amazing since childhood.
You do realize he's not gonna see ur comment right?
Much love from Partizan fan, I'm so proud of Dante, and a bit sad he ain't ours player anymore.
Luka still has Kleber(yes, he's injured), THJ, JG, and Kyrie(yep, injured too). Now you're adding Lively, DJones, Exum, and Grant. Add some sprinkle of Hardy, Holmes, Morris, Omax, Curry , and Lawson at certain times. This Mavs team is dangerous👌. Idk if it's gonna translate into the playoffs but I really like what I'm seeing so far🔥
You guys say this every year.. same as your cowboys.. 😂 both 1st round exits for sure

Exum was getting those crazy rhythm 3s from MVP Luka
Hell yeah Tim Hardaway love the work from him we see it we love it!
i like the new ending of the videos, promoting your previous content with a little storytelling. Good job,
peace out.
Love your videos
Luka attacks peoples instinct. His body movements make you react and he knows exactly how players will react. LUKA IS ELITE
2:23 legit all around player. Might be the best teammate Luka ever had. Gonna have to start him at some point or at least be flexible when matchups desire it
Luka showed them the in season finale wasn’t nothing
Imagine if Luka had AD lol
Most of us don't want to. He's unreliable.
Imma choose sabonis instead of AD
And + Giannis...and game is over ...!!!!
wow i've seen anyone besides Luka fake the lob with one hand only to gather the ball and then lay it in. what an insane play @2:41
Thanks
Nice breakdown, its so amazing to see luka score with these "slow" drives.
Of course, if you are allowed to take 3 or 4 steps and then stop, you are gonna be the Einstein of basketball.

@@21st_filibustero yet another armchair commentator that's never set foot on a basketball court in your life. Go back to fortnite kid.
I understand that there are very few adjustments in game during the regular season but at some point you need to adjust to the guy that is not a star but still cooking, props to Exum for making them pay
hairband luka is scary!!!
exum željkova škola hehehe, also "why the slow start" the 3pt line is farther away, he has played in NBA before, but u know, playing in europe for a few years still forces u to adapt
I love watching the mavs vs lakers. Always a tight game
By the way what you say about "not enough shots in rhythm" is what I keep saying. It's why some people think Jordan was not a good shooter. He had a lot of those games throughout his career. It would be interesting to see Curry's 3FG% if we only counted first attempts. 🤔
To switch on every screen it's not something clever or is something you have to overcome with a masterful plan on offense... it's just lazy defense.
Luka breathes 2nd life to Exum’s 🏀 career
Dwight Powell needs to get traded
Exum historically hasn't been a good shooter, but is having a good shooting year.
Shot 40% last two years in Europe. The point is, he got healthy and was able to work in his shot oversees. Kinda the reason he’s back.
@@iamchaunceman i see. but yeah. as a casual it does make sense why theyre giving exum so much space.
Luka and Jokic are both like a changeup pitch in baseball. They deliberately move so slow that you can't keep up!
Shout out to Exum. I thought he was out the league. Keep balling ✨️
Imagine Luka on Lebron's peptides.. goddam!! A buff Luka!!!
Exum shoots like he's half patalyzed but he never knows which two limbs he can use properly
Imagine a trio of Jokic, Luka and Murray with the defense of AG and MPJ😍
There is no doubt that the NBA has the best teams and players by a land slide. No need to compare any Europe team against any NBA team. Never the less, Exum is a good example that playing in Europe for some time can really shape you as a player. Hope we will see more of him.
This is a well played game by Mavs. It is interesting to see how Lakers would react in their next matchup. I am quite envy of how deep other teams are while Lakers cannot function well when there are 2 or more guys out. They should really have a good look in this game. Even if I am glad seeing LeBron and AD leading the team, I think it is also a bad thing because when one of them is offline, their loss is guaranteed.
lakers mid though
@@BoboDetector yeah, lack of depth is their problem, one or two guys injured and they struggle hard
Add inconsistency in the mix from DLo and AD. They fall off really hard. As for Bron, I can't blame him too much but he costs some crucial plays and sometimes freethrows. But then, it is still a team game. If the team plays well, they won't get to the point where the result goes down to whether Bron miss a layup or not. Bron and AD scored 60 but that's it, they need more from the team.
To be fair, I will give them a chance to see how they will go against Mavs again. Unless Mavs have more dark horses in their roster, I won't be surprised if Lakers will be beaten again.
Also, Darvin Ham, damnnit.
Those Exum stats are impressive.
This man is giving his 100% every season please give this man his MVP award
Don't u have to win a championship to get mvp? Or is there 2 different mvps
one is finals and other is regular szn mvp
@Ja.Wick999
omg what a pass from Doncic!!
Had no idea Exum was on the Mavs. He was supposed to be the next big guy on Utah back in 2016 lol
Damn no wonder Jokic is bored. Serbia games look like a party
Sometimes dangerous party. There's no of special police forces that can handle those guys if shit happen!
It's Europe, not just Serbia! Our fans sing club's anthems through the whole game and it goes from father to son. It's like defending your city!
It's not even close to the NBA, where fans switch clubs when their favourite players get traded, or the club lose! I can't figure out those fans! What are they standing up to? Individual players? Only winning teams?
I saw the video of KD in basketball arena in Greece. The stands were in flares, it was loud and he couldn't believe it! 😂
Now i see why jazz didnt want to give up on exum
That part, Luka moves slow as hell for a great player. Probably one of the best slow motion players ever lol
tq for all these english youtubers making content bout mavs , as an asian i cant even find a single content bout mavs winning lakers other than highlights, in asia they only likes the big teams from big city lol
Lebron bouta trade the entire Lakers roster for Luka
Lebron is more than likely coming to play with Luka after his contract is up with LA. Luka and Kyrie would be Lebrons fantasy teammates. And he’d be able to play until he’s 50 with those two.
Dante is coming from Partizan! This is the reason why he is good:) GROBARI likes that
Dare I say he's absorbed some of Kyrie's game and gotten better this year..more efficient and plays the long game

"the easy blow by despite going 2 miles an hour" got me so fucking dead hahaha
A few years ago I thought, like most people, that the "Euro Step" was a fad, a bit of a gimmick - a puzzle that the League would eventually figure out. Nope - it's no gimmick, it's a solid tool that, if you can master it, can fuck up even a great defender. It's the basketball equivalent of the change up pitch. Timing and touch can beat speed and athleticism, if you know when and how to use it.
I don't want to sound like a hater, but the regular season defend intensity is not like in the playoff. When it matters, Luka Doncic haven't prove anything yet. To make it worst, The Mavs actually tried their best to help Doncic by bringing KP and now Kyrie. Until he proves his value in the playoff, his regular season performance is merely stats padding, just like James Harden in The Houston.
He went to WCF last 2021? What are you smoking?
You do realize that Lukas game is built for the slow half court playoff style. He’s statistically the second best playoff scorer all time already only behind MJ and we aren’t even talking about Lukas assists and rebounds. You really don’t know what your talking about do you? The playoffs are slower, and half court offense is king. That’s what Luka is god at.
That Serbia's basketball arena goes crazy
been a lakers fan for years but rooting for Mavs just because of Luka!
Clear MVP this season
" despite going 2 mph". ( no emoji).
They defended Luca like they did with Haliburton and it doesn't work with a smart veteran like that.

these are playoff assist, slow game, with the defense in position and luka destroy them. The difference with haliburton is that the hali assist are all from running like crazy and getting easy basket by teammates running in the basket, this type of game not translate well in playoff. In the playoff the game is slow, and luka is the perfect offensive player to destroy all type of scheme
Exactly. It’s like Luka plays chess, Hali plays checkers. Chess clears in the playoffs when it slows down to half court.
Tim Hardaway should where a cup with all of those charges he takes.
the cirst play wasnt supposed to happen cuz its legit a carry from hardaway
Yah, but Luka as to guard a bit more and complain less to the refs.
Guess you haven’t watched him much this year huh 🤔
I like Luca and LeBron’s relationship. It’s almost like LeBron’s passing the torch.
Luka plays in slow motion but players just leave him
They won by 2 on their homecourt. Yes luka is strong lets see who's on top in theend of the season
Only cuz Lebron wanted that 3 with like a second left. You’d think he’s padding his points ? And if you watched the game you’d know it wasn’t really that close at all. Never felt like LA had a chance in the end.
