Luka Doncic: Slow Step Finishing

Luka Doncic Slow Step Finishing
- Attacks chest of the defense.
- Decelerates on his steps after the gather. Allows defender to fly by.
- Great control of his feet & body. Allows for control of ball.

Acceleration and deceleration are under rated aspects of athleticism, Luka might not run fast or jump high but he's definitely athletic in these aspects

[@judetheman1562]

Can we just appreciate the skill it takes to do that. We know he’s not as athletic in comparison to his peers. He’s definitely more athletic than you and I he’s an NBA player. But in comparison to them he’s not. Let’s appreciate skill trumping athleticism.

@@judetheman1562 being able to stop and start or slow down your steps after going full speed are athletic things you can train, its way harder to do than it looks. He isn't that fast and doesn't jump that high but those aren't what makes up ALL of athleticism

[@judetheman1562]

toyin71 Yes you are right there are other aspects of athleticism. That Luka doncic clearly possesses. But it doesn’t make him “Athletic” if that were the case we could say everybody is athletic. Because each person has different strengths athletically. Such as speed, strength, balance. People just narrow it down to explosiveness.

​@@judetheman1562 Nah man, there's a lot of people who don't have any of those. Case and point, Me lol. Also I feel like you can't say something like "everyone is athletic" just because they might have one physical skill that's seen in athletic people. If everybody's athletic, then nobody's athletic. You have to have SOMETHING that separates athletic people from non-athletic people. He might not be as athletic as a lot of other NBA players, but he's still very athletic in comparison to those that are less athletic than him, and infinitely more athletic than people who aren't athletic at all.

How is the slowest most unathletic player on the court getting free layups against superior athletes? Defenders either jumping way early and flying out of bounds or not jumping at all and staying planted to the ground like pylons as Luka literally walks around them to a free layup. Silly. This is not basketball. NBA is WWE.

[@Blekkkkkkkkk]

If luka is driving and go right into your chest, how can u jump? U cant jump when he bumps into you, that is how. Stupid. Thats how u neutralize a shotblocker. And as for how he get by people? Its skill. Footwork and handles. Also his size makes it that no one can push him

[@SUPREMELEGEND]

@@Blekkkkkkkkk NBA is the same as WWE. They pay the players to put on a fake show. Luka is one of the "superstars" so defenders play him soft and let him score. They are paid to make him look good. If it was real basketball, Luka would not even make the g-league.

White men can't jump is the old saying, but today Luka is showing us that black men go for every fake.

there is skill but the defenders shouldn't be going for every fake like that
