Watching Luka, Kyrie a lot. When there is a loose ball near them, they will go into a crowd of teammates and opponents and come away with the ball more often than the law of averages should allow. They have fantastic hands and the reason to know that is to watch other players fail to come up with the ball in similar situations. Hard to explain, but it's a thing with guys like those two.

I’m so spoiled watching Luka every night and now Kyrie. when i watch other teams, they’re just running around like headless chickens all game. Luka controls the game better than anyone else, and Kyrie is SO instinctual and skilled, he feels the energy of the game better than anyone alive. He destroys in the 4th quarter, clutch like his master Kobe. Kyrie was the final apprentice of Kobe, the MJ/Kobe spirit lives on in Luka/Kyrie

Watching Luka play is like watching an adult playing against children..

Actually what Redick is talking about is what in the past we always understood athleticism to mean - reducing it to how fast you are and how high you jump is a more recent error and it's why so many find the " too slow" greats inexplicable.

I don't think alotta people know Luka's background. He's been a professional basketball player for 9 years already and he's only 25. More importantly he's been a ball dominate tall and big player. He played in Europe in similar offenses as the NBA so the transition was much easier for him. Luka also has had the opportunity to watch LeBron play to study him. Luka's game is a great match for this era also with the spread out offense with space. The closest player to LeBron style of play is Luka. The main difference between their games is LeBron's explosiveness. Their stats are similar. They both love to go left and shoot 3 pointers from the left wing. Right shoulder fadeaways. Both don't like to go right and pull up for jumpers. Luka is just starting to shoot going to his right more. He's now running off screens a little to catch and shoot. Luka is averaging a triple double basically 35-10-9. Imagine if he can start making 85% or more of his foul shots??? Luka is a basketball genius. He sees the game faster then most guys like most of all the greatest players ever. He's special cause of alota the same reasons the other greatest players are and were special. Talent, confidence, work ethic, basketball IQ, consistency and love for the game.

"Once you know how to stop you become unstoppable"

Athletic can mean many things. Strength. Coordination. Just as important as jumping and speed.

Also, excellent fundementals . Jokic and Doncic dribble and shoot fundamentally. Always in control

Very fascinating discussion. Thank you gentlemen

LUKA is the most FOCUS NBA PLAYER

JJ is on another level with his basketball knowledge

Fundamentals ,vision and practice and again practice since Luka is been doing this since 8 year's old . US basketball main problem is the restriction and the monetizing of the game in early stages this leads to young players been put under the microscope since very early and this leads to fewer professional players been develop in all meaning of the word. Back in 1960 till 2000 the college programs use to produce MAN who came to the league with all skill required to play the game the right way .Yes you have freakish talent who jumped the que and become superstars.

Luka legend, he is the man and the best bb players in 🌍

His lower body is the way it is because you are brought up playing soccer in Europe. Soccer players legs are like thoroughbreds. That’s the benefit of learning an upper body and lower body sport from an early age.

He’s mastered playing against contact. Him and Jokić PURPOSELY create contact. Every tries to avoid it which leaves you at a disadvantage. If you “beat them to the punch” you can attacked create space, then get an unblock able shot off

If you watch Luka on top of the key when he gets a switch to him....slow down the video and watch defenders feet, as soon as he gets them to cross over their feet over gets them off balance he is already moving the other direction. Watch at 0.25 speed it is amazing how often he does it

Luka is a physicist in a basketball uniform!

He is a mix of Iverson and Bird

Nice suit

Mavs fan. Love Luka offensively. Think he’s currently the best OFFENSIVE player in the league. Defense is getting better, but he’ll never be in the running for DPOY. But that’s why there’s five players on the court lol.

You know what elevates this interview? It's when the guy asks JJ to do a scouting report on himself. It's a throwaway line as JJ is comparing his own scouting report to Luka's. That's an interviewer who is listening. Many would let that slide by and think "yeah, I know what his weaknesses are", but we, as viewers, want to know, and maybe the interviewer does too.
