Why Luka Doncic is Impossible to Guard

Luka Doncic makes every possession look so easy, yet there isn't a defender in the NBA that can contain him in isolation.

Love his game, his lower body strength is extremely underrated which allows the deceleration

[mekacrab]

He has such a deep bag at 24 years old. The amount of ways he can score is crazy and you add his superb playmaking and passing ability to that.
I wouldn't be surprised if he won several MVPs in the next few years.

[muvzyhoops]

he is just so awkward you never know what he's gonna do. Either he fades from the post up position or spams a ton of hesitation moves and when ur off balance for a second he catches you. you did a great job explaining it in the vid he has a counter for everything. W vid as always Brodie

[chanachon]

What I love about Luka and Jokic is the slow, methodical, almost nonchalant way that they attack opposing defenses. Its like they are giving next to zero effort getting points on the board. And that's not even getting into their passing game!

Luka is honestly one of the most fun guards I’ve ever watched

[vee]

Doncic basically plays like a veteran superstar, at only 24 years old. He mastered things in his early 20s that LeBron mastered in his early 30s.

This is honestly the best “Luka is good bc of X” type video I’ve seen. Major props dude 🫡

[jonathanlgill]

I'm really excited to see how the Mavs perform this season after the roster changes they've made.

[ryanv]

The best breakdown of his offense I’ve seen on a YouTube video, so far. Bravo

[FabioGalleraniOfficial]

Seeing him live I can say I have NEVER see anyone making always the right play

[AP]

Basketball IQ + right decisions + good court vision + explosiveness of changing speed and decelration + good ball and body control + diff shot techniques = new era of MVP style. But athletic and speed features are still most important and teams need that mix most. All ppls like Luka in starting five wont win anything, but Luka arround athletic and really fast guys is best mixture for team.

[nishantchafle]

Great in-depth and accurate analysis of the player based on great research.

[Hussleandgrow]

Amazing breakdown man! Esp the way you detail his timing on his attack moves and taking what the opposition gives. Alot of moves to try and add to the bag 💯

[timometsanoja]

They have this 7'1" rookie center there that played quite a lot last night in the first game of the season and he might be a big factor this season... He looked quite good with Luka + Kyrie. Able to go get those passes and hit his shots very well with all the Luka & Kyrie gravity on the court. Luka is just out of this world with his ability to take advantage of anyone and everyone on the offensive end.

[wawasboy]

I think you forgot to mention, that brcause of his insane passing ability, the defender will always overthink Luka's next move.

Hence why, some of them forget to lock him up, because they expect Luka to pass the ball.

[karu]

It's crazy, he's been doing that elbow dribble isolation to a step-back 3 before he's in a legal age to drink lol. Been watching this dude before he was drafted it's crazy he's still torching the league with the same kinda moves.

[TyLovePie]

He isn't crazy fast or jump super high, and I love it! He is proving you don't have to be uber athletic to be the best. In a league full of unprecedented athleticism, his achievements are truly inspiring.

[calebmartin]

Luka a wizard, love the content. Who would u say peaked higher 11 Dirk or 20 AD & why ?

[ikigai]

1:45 you misread this imo. The defender didn't do a 'good job' on the initial turn, he was beat. Luka just screwed up a little on the spin move, leaving the ball outside his momentum.

[rengeorge]

So basically what makes him good are
He’s good at changing speed
He can push defenders off using his weight
He can finish off contact
He can shoot from anywhere
He has multiple finishing options
