I really like Chauncey as an analyst and member of the media, always has something insightful to say.

[fitofito]

Chauncey really knows basketball. He is smart and underrated as a player who always made his team better.

People underestimate how tough the Spanish league really is. The fact Luka played so well at such a young age against grown men translates his success in the nba. This is nothing new for him.

Pass at 1:55 looks simple, but it requires SO MUCH vision and timing to execute. DJ appears open as he starts his roll, but he's actually not because of all the help converging on him (especially from Davis). Luka waits a split second to when DJ is seemingly surrounded, THEN decides to pass the ball just as the help starts to recover back to the perimeter and their momentum takes them away from DJ. Luka doesn't pass to the open player who will be covered, he passes to the covered player who WILL be open.

I watch all the videos that feature Chauncey talking about basketball. The guy was always one of my favorite players and now he's a favorite analyst.

What is the Best in his game for me - he plays so entertaining and attractive. Many people started watching Dallas because of him. He's kinda player, who can be a reason people watch NBA

Those clutch shots with what else luka brings to the table double his value
Man is clutch af

People, Chauncey is one of the smartest players ever... he had an insane basketball IQ and he was also all about making the right play to WIN... that's why he loves Luka so much... Luka plays to WIN... he would take a win with him having 2 points over a loss with him having 20...

Also what Chauncey is saying about Luka being one of the best PLAYERS in the NBA right now is absolutely true because he plays way above the level that players his age play and the main thing is his CLUTCH PERFORMANCE.... you see players 22-23 years old that are already stars in the NBA have huge trouble shooting the big shot in the end... and this guy does it like it's second nature to him... he's as cool as Chauncey was (huge clutch performer in his prime) or even as Kobe was... you don't see him hurry or throw it up on a prayer... he dribbles over and over... he feints over and over... until he gets the tiny little amount of space he needs to shoot... and when he gets it you see him release the ball without being in a hurry, without fear of the clock or the opponent... he thinks "this is my shot... I got it... just another shot..."

This is PRICELESS on a player... LeBron freakin James has struggled in clutch time for the first DECADE of his career... and he may even be the best player that has ever walked the planet earth... best all around player for sure... Jordan much better scorer... Lebron much better all around... Basketball is not about scoring or passing... basketball is ultimately about WINNING... and this kid is a winner... if Lebron could trade Kuzma, Ingram and Lonzo (I'm a huge fan of Lonzo btw... you all haters are clueless about good basketball... the kid has good work ethic and huge potential) all together for him he would do it on a heartbeat... you can find another Ingram, you can find another Kuzma, you can find another athletic wing... finding a clutch shooting winner??? Once every decade...

And finally... assist numbers are worth jack shit... COURT VISION IS WHAT MATTERS... making the right pass even if it's not an assist... people say "he has more assists... he's a better passer...". NO!!! The man with the most assists is not the best passer... in that logic Westbrook who has almost zero awareness of which one is the best pass (without it being an assist) would be a better passer than LeBron... and Duncan would be a mediocre passer because he didn't have 10 assists... but Duncan was a godlike court vision passer... so stop counting freakin assists... assists aren't everything... numbers aren't everything... there's only one stat that counts... WHO WINS THE MOST GAMES... which means out of all the guys with big numbers who's numbers are translating into the most upside for his team... big number without good results for the team are useless... they mean nothing...

Thanks for reading all this crap... 😁

ESPN, More Chauncey, please. Let's see him on First Take or something, too.

Paul Pierce: Luka reminds me of myself when I played in middle school. When he's in his 5th year he might be as good as I was when I was a rookie

[MO-rlgl]

look at Giannis at the top of that clutch percentage list, meanwhile Ryan Hollins is saying he isn't clutch.smh

[beeboop]

I'm from Malaysia.. I'm watching NBA becoz of him.... Luka

[italiancapo]

Luka is a GOAT. He’s having the best rookie season ever since Michael Jordan!

[j.c.c.]

Just for everyone to know, including Chauncey Billups. Luka Doncic has been playing pro since he was 16 YEARS, not 13. He went to Madrid to the youth categories of Real Madrid and then kept growing till pro. Tired of people saying he is been pro since 13 years old..

[charl_lee]

I could listen to Chauncey talk about basketball all day. One of the best minds as a PG and leader of the game

[sstielia]

Hear hear! He makes the whole team look great - he gave them wings! Mavs are right now the most wachable team. Go Mavs💙💙💙

[drbwhit]

35yr NBA fan here. I gotta say this kid is best rook I’ve watched since Lebron. As CB said this kid is special. At 19 he may have the most complete offensive game at that age ever. Scary thing is that he’s gonna get better and better. He’s really fun to watch.

[tachyon]

What I love about Luka such a modest guy and his basketball IQ on another level.

[gabrielspringer]

The Dallas Mavericks are relocating to Europe

[walimuhammad]

I think we all needed this because so far no one has known how he does it he’s a rookie
