 What's the word, y'all? I'm still trying to process what the hell I just watched in the game of basketball. Luca has 60 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists. His team was down by nine points with 30 seconds to go and they won. Undoubtedly, you just experienced one of the greatest individual games in the history of basketball. Think about that. The league been around for 75 years. You and I, on this random day in the end of December, just experienced one of the greatest games ever. And if you're strictly going on game score, which is a way to try to figure out what is the best individual games of all times, you're strictly looking at box score. This is the sixth greatest game in the history. But I would argue that it's higher than that when you consider, again, that they were down by nine points and 30 seconds to go, that this man intentionally missed a free throw, got his own board, and within a matter of a half a second, put it up on the board to send it into overtime. Man, Luca Dantzis is on a whole other level. I was watching this game and I made a decision about in the third quarter that no matter what happened in this game, this video was going to be around Luca Dantzis in the Dallas Mavericks. But in that moment, the vibes of that video were completely different. Luca had 50 points at one point and y'all was down by double digits. The name of this video is about to be get Luca help ASAP by any means necessary. And yeah, he still needs help because it took a 60 point triple double to beat a team that was missing Jalen Brunson and all-star caliber player and missing RJ Beard, who over the last month can't miss a shot. So it took almost everything to get this random win. But we can put the get Luca Dantzis help talk to the end while we just sit here and admire the performance that we just got from this guy. Any guys, I always had a conversation of what differentiates just a normal all-star caliber player from a superstar caliber player and what differentiates a Hall of Famer from one of the greatest of all time. And one thing we always get back to is taking whatever the defense gives you and making the most of it. And that's what Luca has done throughout his entire career but it was on full display today versus the Knicks. Opened up against Quinn Grimes. Quinn Grimes had a great game in his own right. He had a career hide night, shout out to Q Grimes. But it was rough on the defensive side of the ball and that's not nothing against Q because I thought he's playing good defense. But Luca, being Luca, took everything the defense gave him. These guys in the NBA just are like super computers. We're like, if we're running the pick and roll and the big man is helping up, I'm throwing that lob that's easy. I think it was the white power literally one time. I think the white power ended today with two points and 30 plus minutes of basketball but it's either it's Christian Wood on the road easily. If the weak side man is helping, I'm gonna find his player and throw him. I mean, he had 10 assists today but I promise you he generated a lot more open shots than that. Like I said, this video is gonna be getting Luca some help because those boys just breaking those shots. And then if you decided to switch these things, whoever had the switch was in hell. It was Miles McBride, he's too little. I'm gonna take him to the post. I'm gonna use my size and I'm gonna shoot over him. Oh, it's Julius Randall. I'm gonna get physical with Julius Randall who's one of the more physical players in all the basketball and get to the basket and finish over him. And this was one of the wands, bro. This is one of the wands. They're down by eight points. There are six seconds. This possession starts for us with six seconds on the clock. Look where Luca is at and look what he does. By the time he puts the ball on the floor, it's 4.8 seconds on the shot clock, right? Here's a screen from Christian Wood. And in that little amount of time, do you see how easy this man just made this bucket look? High off glass, over one of the better shot blockers in all the basketball, it doesn't matter. With 4.8 seconds, he had the pacing to get to the basket and finish high off glass. I actually really like this set if you wanna call it that or play. I don't know, I get those words mixed up. This is a couple of possessions after what we just saw with Mitch Robinson being in drop and him throwing it high off glass, right? Similar thing, pick and roll, but this time Reggie Bullock is coming up. So this is a screen from Dwight Powell. And Dwight Powell's also gonna set a screen for Reggie. And Reggie's gonna get an opportunity to be open. But look, look at this one little move. Can I slow down the speed here? Oh my God, I can slow down the speed. Luca does his little hesitation. This little hesitation, let me rewind it just briefly. As he's picking up the ball, he does this little jerk. And now, because two possessors ago, this man Luca went super high off glass, this man Mitch Robinson thinking the same thing as happening, but instead it is a lob to Dwight to get him, I think again, his only two point. I know this is back to Dwight, but I think that was his only two points of the game. And I know the shot that sends to overtime is ridiculous, right? I mean, to miss the free throw, get your own board in the matter of half a second, switch hands and put it up on the board and get it in is ridiculous. But he just did something very similar to that a couple of possessions before. 20 seconds on the clock, they're down by six. We get a deep shot from Tim Hardaway, Jr. Miss, but here comes Luca, same thing, cleaning up the offensive glass, having the hand-eye coordination to put it up and one from Luca. The crowd is going crazy. This kid is 23 years old, y'all. And after a game like yesterday, and I guess we've had this conversation for the last couple of seasons of Luca's career, how good will he get and how high can he end up on the all-time player list? He's 23 years old and he's been to the playoffs three different occasions. And he has been stellar in every single one. I know in the first two, they couldn't get out of the first round, but that wasn't because of him. Game-winning shot versus the Clippers in game three or four. I don't remember exactly which one. Game-winning shot in his very first playoff series. He's 20 years old, looking at Kawhi and Paul George. Kawhi one of the greatest, perimeter defenders of all time. Paul George was in the defensive play of their conversations a year before this season. Looked him straight in the eyes and gave him a 40-point game in a game winner in the playoff series. The year after that, they draw the Clippers again. Unlucky they end up losing this series, but it wasn't through the fault of Luka Dončić. Continuously given 35-point games, 40-point games in the playoffs versus some of the best defensive teams. And that you know just last season, he led this team to the Eastern Conference Finals after missing the first couple of games of the entire playoffs. That's how J. LaBrosa got his back. Shout out to J. LaBrosa. But this man has given us great MVP caliber performances in the regular season and in the postseason. He's only 23 years old. It typically takes players a little while to get to the point where Luka is at right now. He's arguably the top three player in basketball at 23 years old. So how good can it get? And this is why everybody's having a conversation about Luka Dončić and about the Dallas Mavericks ability to make the team better around him. Because if you have this dude who's on the trajectory to being not just a Hall of Famer, but at all time great, we need to maximize all the things Luka Dončić before it is too late. And too late for the Dallas Mavericks could be any time. At this moment, we don't know what Luka is thinking, but we've seen the clips of him going out and having 35 point triple doubles and then they're losing and his teammates are trying to get him half fast. He's getting back to the huddle and he's not even doing it with the body language is crazy OD because he's like, man, what the hell are you doing Reggie Block? So when or how will the Dallas Mavericks maximize Luka Dončić to the point where he is in championship contention? Because last year, they got to the conference finals. They overachieved. They undoubtedly overachieved. So you can't look at them get into the conference finals last season and say, hey, every single season, we have a chance to win a championship because I don't think that's true. As good of a talent as Luka Dončić is, he's gonna need help. And I would argue outside of them not getting him a real secondary co-star, they've done an okay job. Obviously, you don't get to the conference finals by having a terrible roster, but they've done an okay job putting great defensive players, good 3 and D guys around him, but there needs to be more. How do they get more? Who is that more? I'm not completely sure, but a performance like tonight where it takes Luka Dončić playing literally every minute of the second half in overtime. I think he's set for 12 seconds in a random December game against the Knicks that were missing Jalen Brunson and RJ Beard. It took all of that for you to win. And that just shows that you need a little bit more help. I said on Christmas that I'm only narrowing down my MVP candidates to top five until further notice. And Luka Dončić is in that top five. Who the hell did I kick out? I don't know, bro. Cause yesterday I know that the 76ers lost, but Jalen Beard had amazed it before. Actually, can I talk about that just for a quick second? Luka just had a top five performance of all time. Of all time. Drew Hanlin, who's Hanlin, who's one of the top NBA skill coaches in basketball, said Luka was incredible tonight and has been all season, so fun to watch. But anytime you put in a butt on something that's all time is crazy. But to show how biased the media is, here are some facts. Jalen Beard's average of more points, more rebounds, more blocks, higher field goal percents, higher free throw percents, it seems a better record than Luka. Why? Why? Why? Jalen Beard will get his flowers. Today is a Luka Dončić day. Did you watch that game? Did you watch? Cause a couple of weeks ago when Jalen Beard put up 54 points and however many rebounds and assists, he had his nine on Twitter too. Come on, man. And I know Nbedas' guy. He's one of Nbedas' trainers. He loves Nbedas, one of his best friends. All of his tweet is Nbedas and Jason Zeta. Maybe he's Jason Zeta. But you have to read the room, bro. You have to. I don't know how we can take an all-time performance from one player and be like, but are you watching this other dude this season? Nbedas in MVP conversations, bro. He is. I don't know what else you want. I guess you want us to do what you're doing right now. Luka was great today, 60-20 in TM. But did you see Jalen Beard on Christmas? You see him tonight against the Wizards where he had 40 points, even though they lost, like you have to, every single day we, as basketball enjoyers, shout out to the news, let the link is in the description. They had a good piece about Luka Dasha today. As basketball enjoyers, everything is static. One day it could be a shade day. Shay hits a game winner. He had 40 points. It's shade day. It was Jalen B day. And today is Luka day because he puts together an all-time performance. I don't think this is media bias here. I'm not a bias guy. And here I am making a Luka video.
