I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone play like him. Not including athleticism, I feel like he’s the most naturally talented offensive player I’ve ever seen.

[@beastmode1421]

After watching this people saying he’s slow and lazy, he can explode when he wants to athletically

[@bulja80085]

Yeah I get the same feeling watching him as I did when I was watching Messi play football/soccer, just a purely talented offensive powerhouse

Luka and Jokic are the reason to watch NBA again. They are incredible. Real basketball genius. Thats the way basketball should be played.

[@fatstogie]

and Ant Edwards

[@herenowlife]

Yer actually am Aussie and started watching NBA again cause of those two characters that don't appear that athletic but the way the read a game blows my mind

[@spacecruisers]

I stopped watching about a decade ago because of all the drama queens taking over, is it a good time to tune back in?

[@lupsik1]

„The way basketball should be played”? I don’t know, I think all styles are valid in a way. But his is definitely refreshing

[@Alex-yo1yk]

Ja Morant !

[@corey2232]

People always say "generational" or "1 of 1," but this highlight reel is truly all that! You have insane passes, trick shots, poster dunks, buzzer beaters, and absurdly high IQ plays paired with absurdly high skill. It really feels like a combination we've never seen before.

[@clarkwashington112]

And the dude is only 25. His mixtape is better than most vets and he, arguably, hasn’t even hit his prime yet. That’s crazy

[@martinkoepke3005]

Exactly. So unathletic but even that dominant, even more than the Joker who has at least a 7 foot plus body to grab some 6-8 plus rebs and get some 6-8 plus points even from his size

[@CGIPadawan]

I guess that's why when they did his episode of THE PORTAL, they chose to match him against Magic Johnson.

[@GODsoN_8471]

Y'all must be from a parallel universe where Magic and Bird were never born. Drazen Petrovic was also a great scorer but you've probably never heard of him. Pistol Pete, Big O, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Scottie Pippen.

[@hai9884]

this man deserves MVP

[@sehlordhorr8540]

He’s earning it 👍🏻🤙🏻

Absolutely

He will get them when he earns them he doesn't deserve anything no player does smh.

[@sandyleewhite]

I am from the baby boomer generation, growing up & loving watching Larry Bird playing for the Boston Celtics, with my Dad, & in all my years since Bird retired in 1992, I have never seen a player, even come close to Larry's game, until today, watching Luka's highlights. I know better than to say anything about who is better, from how protective we are, of our Larry Bird, but what I did wonder, is did Luka happen to watch any of Larry's games. I know he is too young to see them live, but there has always been great footage!!! Luka is one of those very special talents, & so exciting to watch, just as I felt when we watched Larry 💚💚💚

[@enriqueperez-aradrosibanez49]

Its worth to watch NBA thanks to Luka man. This guy is what basketball needed, pure talent

[@aldsdwin]

NBA: you forgot the ff: 1) Ankle breaker crossover on Cam Johnson for the three in 2022 WCF Game 7 2) No look foul continuation ala Michael Jordan against OKC this season 3) Alley-oop feed to Lively for the slam to get a rare 1st half triple double 4) Step back three in HOU during rookie season to engineer 12 point deficit, 4th Q comeback 5) One legged three pointer in 2021 1st round playoff against LAC 6) Three pointer against Dennis Schroeder of LAL in 2023 to send game to overtime 7) 29 point first quarter against LAC in 2023 8) 50 point Christmas day game against PHX this season Damn... there seems to be too many I'll just stop

[@unknownmusic2175]

the fact that he averages more points than anyone in the NBA right now and is not in the MVP discussion is crazy

[@TheDarkbluerock]

He literally is in the discussion. He is top 5 for most of the year.... yeah, I would personally put him higher then 4 right now, but it's not like he gets completely ignored. If Dallas gets a top 4 seed he will get MVP 100%

[@mhqqiqin_]

Just want to said that as Mavs fan, I would love to see him win the MVP as he deserves it. But if he doesn't win then it's okay, it's still gonna be remembered as one of the greatest season from a player to not win the MVP. Both are still historic.

[@ABISDIAD]

wow i just realized this dude is close to a 35 point triple double season avg and not being talked much about

[@MemoryUtilizer]

His defense is ass and he still cries to the refs. He is White Harden, not the next LeBron lmao.

Bro luka is a baller from the 90s era, wtf! This guy will make me watch the NBA again

[@ronibarlund4464]

Definitely start watching Luka's games. He is truly a magician and one of the most gifted offensive players ever. Joy to watch

[@baxoutthebox5682]

Not at all, Luka is a very new school player. Extremely deep shots, throwing up far more shots, not playing both sides (until this year), and doing things you simply wouldn’t have seen 30 years ago. SGA is the best comp for a 90’s player because he shoots like one (lots of in and around the paint jumpers) and plays ferocious D.

[@CabralCreates]

@@baxoutthebox5682It depends who are you comparing him to, trick passes Bird and Magic could easily be comparable to Luka.

[@blicleak1101]

[@KleoPatra-js9xh]

His fundamentals are so much better than any single player in the NBA. Dude doesn’t travel, doesn’t even take 3 steps because of the way they euro leagues rules are. Doesn’t have questionable Carries, footwork is always exactly where it needs to be, and his accuracy and fakes are insane. He’s such a threat because he knows the exact moment to capitalize on defenders and what the most ideal play is. Also, he’s a fucking giant when talking about guards. Definitely an mvp worthy player.
