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😂

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.

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

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.

This was a brilliant breakdown. I watch 100% of Luka's minutes but still learned a ton. Well done.

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

This guy knows when to stop when to speed up. Slow but steady. Love him.

I remember watching Luka when he was playing In Europe he was big time here in Europe at a very young age!

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.

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.

he's like a mix of bron and harden without the choke gene.

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

Epic breakdown... your channel is LEGEND

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!

i wonder if him going pro 6 years ago might have helped with his maturity on the court🤔

Well said, well done.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Nice breakdown!!!

2021 and now he's improved his defense. Kid just keeps improving.

Great summary!

Keep up the good work ! 👍👍👍👍👍

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

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.

great video!

this was a great breakdown of Lukas game 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.

This was exactly what I was looking for when I searched for a video breakdown of Doncic’s skills. Thanks

Excellent analysis.

Great breakdown!

This was a very good breakdown of some of the secret sauce Luka Doncic uses 💯 Thank you 👍

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...

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.

Nice work.

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.

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.

18 months later and he's even MORE unstoppable now. That step-back shot is KILLER

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

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.

that was outstanding . That gave me more insite.. (Im a fan, not a player) ..than any other video I've watched. Great work

Thx!!!

Seriously amazing break down here. If you aren't coaching kids, dude...consider it :) It's extremely rewarding.

very good analysis

Do more basketball breakdown this video helped my game

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

nice channel, subscribed

Very good breakdown.

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.

Great breakdown. Luka is an incredible talent. Makes me wanna go play 🏀.

nailed it!

Cool content !

Great channel

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.

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

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 uses his eurostep the same way Manu did, not just to sidestep but to jumanji his way toward the rim

Luka biggest weakness is emotional. He gives low effort sometimes when things dont go his way. And his technicals. But amazing play. So smart.

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 jimmy butler or LaVine

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.

Can you do one for big men? I have found no guides

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.

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.

Luka has a similar style to Shrempf who played for the Seattle Sonics. Way back in the day

what a man, gave me the chillz, saw him shake so many dudes!!! lol i saw that guys!!

It’s his shooting that gives him the edge to be this good and allows him to be creative o offensive end

Subbed

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

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.

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.

I would love for you to do some breakdowns on defensive players.

Yo thats what Hot Sauce used to do!! Phillip Champion!

Thanks bro...I'm the big fans of Luka Doncic😊😊

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

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.

He plays so efficiently, makes it look easy

Its like watching slow motion but hes making it look easy

Was a very big drazen fan, but now i say he is better at the same age like Petro

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 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

I don't mean to rush but when are u going to do the Emmanuel maldonado workout

The big thing is he can handle the ball in traffic

Luka is easily the most funnest player to watch in the NBA right now (2022). Can't wait for the new season to start.

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.

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

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.

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.

Luka is amazing!

it looks like pure magic when he starts playing

awesome

Someone, please tell me, why the first footage why NOT travellng? THX

This is a good video, but I don't think Luka is an average NBA athlete. He is actually very quick, strong, and coordinated.

Ja Morant is the same age and came into the league a year after. Who are you choosing for your team and why?

Top 5 player in the world no cap

Agreed, even Two-way players like PG13 and The Klaw can't clamp Luka the boy wonder
