thread of luka doncic

i'd take kawhi if it weren't for his medical issues

cool luka fact is that he has done one dunk so far this season

giannis has done 44 dunks therefore he is the clear choice

Luka Doncic of the @dallasmavs is the first player in NBA history to have a triple-double, make 6+ threes and shoot at least 60.0 percent from the field in the same game.#MFFL

I looked it up and somehow this is true. I would have guessed it had happened like at least 50 times?

yeah thats weird

like how has harden never done that

Luka is the first player to outscore, outrebound and out-assist a team in a quarter since @alleniverson in 2003 💪

And they’re the only two players to do it in the last 20 seasons. pic.twitter.com/WrPcTe789H

just an average game for luka tonight, 30-7-14 in 3 quarters

Pretty crazy what he’s doing. And the thing that sets him apart is that he’s elevating a pretty avg roster to a winning record in the west

they’re blowing teams out!

I know it’s probably annoying that I post this shit after every game but I’m such a fanboy at this point I don’t care

luka’s season stats now
29.9/10.4/9.7/1.3 on .493/.346/.821 shooting. .632 ts%, 35.1% usage, leads the league with 33.2 PER. also 20 years old

he also shoots 62% on 2s

I’m such a fanboy at this point I don’t care

this thread exists for nothing else, so you're using it as intended

little KOC love in this column

As of today he’s MVP imo

Luka playing the part of the controlled, efficient smart veteran to Harden's bad- decision making, inexperienced, easy-to-fluster noob.

literally just tweeted this. don’t think it’s really close

I'd put Giannis up there cause of his defense (vs Luka's lack of)

Mavs are tied for 3rd in the west, he’s averaging a 30 point triple double, Porzingis hasn’t really been good. It’s his under the circumstances at present

lmao that rules

hahaha

the nba needs a least a couple of deeply dysfunctional franchises at all times

p cool for luka he dodged the suns and kings

yeah that's a really good point

he's shooting 36% on threes over the last 10 games btw, if he can do that over a season I think it's game over

Actually Luka woulda been cool for the suns. I mentioned how good luka has been in convo with a good friend from here (big suns fan) and he shut me down quick “I don’t want to talk about it”

It’s all exasperated cos of aytons suspension and Lukas start but it comes up a TON on local sports radio here

as it should!

Yah for sure.

checked last week on bb-ref's MVP tracker and it was basically a 3-way tie w/ Giannis, Lebron, and Harden. Luka was at 9%

he's since vaulted to the top spot

the two spidermans pointing at each other

Harden is extremely adept at dealing with external forces particularly, anticipating arm position/contact & deceptively engaging his upward shot motion

He’s so good at doing that I have no idea how you practice something like that but he has to. But also he doesn’t get that call in the playoffs

maybe he doesnt care about the playoffs has anyone asked him

I guess the new thing is to pretend Luka’s flopping is similar to Harden’s.

feel like harden has dialed the flopping back a lil bit is trying more for actual contact, mb he learned from the playoffs after all

Luka really doesn’t do that much nonsense. Flops a bit on 3 pointers if he thinks he got fouled. It’s like comparing Zaza to Laimbeer.

yeah i havent really noticed anything egregious from him

he is pure

I appreciate how lagoon has toned down the luka skepticism, also he’s done 3 dunks now including 2 in the last week

pfft trying to start shit

hehe

lagoon was out there ghost writing for all these talking heads

luka doncic is an excellent basketball player

Hyped to see him in person Friday

Dude missed every 3 except 1 in warmups. Should retire IMHO.

15-5-5 in 1st quarter sheesh. At least 3 of the assist were oops.

I love oops. oops are sweet hoops!

Just made a pass outta of getting doubled behind 3 point line to guy cutting to hoop that maybe only LeBron would even think of trying. Threaded it between 3 guys.

1 rebound away from a 40+ point triple double
