Look at this absolutely mind blowing shot by Luka. Shot clock running down, and the dude pulls off the most casual step back from waaay downtown with a hand in his face. Unbelievable.
And he did the same thing against Jayson Tatum on his way to 36 points on 63% from the three point line. An amazing 7 of 11.
So this reminded me of something that nobody mentions when it comes to Luka Doncic.
And we need to talk about it. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it.
Before getting to that, let me break down a few more of his amazing plays from last night since he was spectacular.
He killed Boston with this behind the back snatch into a stepback on multiple possessions and the Celtics defenders just couldn’t find an answer for it.
But it wasn’t just scoring. You need to see this wild pass by Luka. On the high pick and roll, he gets trapped, and as he’s trying to get away from it, he actually dribbles towards a triple team. However check the poise and the patience, as Doncic takes a glance at this moment and locates Porzingis alone in the corner. So as he jumps for that pass, KP signals at the same time that he’s going to the rim. So Doncic makes an adjustment mid air and sends the pass to the basket, a nice catch by Porzingis and the dunk. Incredible.
This was just 1 of his 5 assists of the night to go along with 8 rebounds, as Doncic continues to have yet another great all around season with averages that are pretty close to a triple double.
But let’s get to the main topic of this video.
When you look at his 3 point shooting this year, it’s 37.7% which is not bad by any means, especially for someone taking 8 of them per game. It’s a good percentage. But nothing more than that. However when looking ahead towards the playoffs, we need to account for 1 key thing.
Looking at this statistic it all becomes clear. For some reason Luka started this season pretty slow shooting the ball, with an abysmal 9.5% in the 4 games Dallas played in December, following that up with 33% in January. Which, believe it or not, would be his career high number even if it only stayed at that. Yup! When you see his stepbacks and flashy 3’s and game winners, you could be deceived into thinking that he’s a better shooter from downtown than his 32 and a half and 31 and a half in his first 2 years in the league.
But let’s put all that aside and focus on how Doncic is raising his form to a whole new level these past 2 months and shooting a blistering 43 and a half percent in both February and March.
Of course culminating with this 7 of 11- 3 point barrage that he had against Boston.
And when asked about all of those tough shots, he kept it fun with his answer.
So as we’re slowly getting closer and closer to the postseason, it’s important to keep in mind that Luka is playing out of his mind, shooting lights out, oh and btw, the best shooter on the Mavericks hasn’t even played a single game for them.
Of course I’m talking about JJ Reddick who came to Dallas at the trade deadline.
And as I said in that previous video, he will be a huge weapon for this team in terms of filling in what they lost by trading Seth Curry, and providing great floor spacing for both Doncic and Porzingis to operate and play their game.
Let’s just hope that Luka can keep up this high level and that the Mavs can make the playoffs in the West that much more interesting.
Hey I’m 600 subscribers from half a million and I wanna celebrate tonight, so if you haven’t subscribe, baby! Talk to you in the next one, peace out.

Luka Doncic is not mind blowing. He gets so lucky sometimes. I mean he shot under 20% at the start of the season. Luka Doncic is NOT INSANE AT ALL!

Since you like this player (and yeah he is great) its pronounced Dončić not as Dun... (o is always o in most languages you never change it like in english) thus to illustrate maybe word DAWN would equal Don but o is short in Dončić. (also č = as in word chai tea and ć as in word which)
But, I get you as even TV announcers in the US do not pronounce it correctly (probably you got it from them) and they should as they pronounce his name all the time.

hey dude, a swish is only a swish if it hits nothing but net, yours hit the backboard, try again

Even his defenders start running the other way while the shot is still in mid air.
Duncan Garrah
Bird done it and more EVERY game.

He had 8 turnovers though...

Luka is a great player but shouldn't have started over Dame in the All-Star game this year. But that's fan voting for ya
Pamplona Christian
honestly, this Luka Wonderboy is the most entertaining to watch. He's so fun to watch, his no-look passes are very rare. He is so damn unpredictable. You can't see what he's going to do next which made me choose to watch him on TV over curry and giannis
Pamplona Christian
Wonderboy got a new nickname on him "LUKA TAKEOVER" 😎

Not to mention most of his threes comes off the dribble. Luka will get that .40 from deep next season. Improve his freethrows a bit, then skip is out ammo and will have to start recognize lukas talent and potential top 10 best player ever.

I love Luka and my hometown is Dallas. And he's gonna be a legend one day. But Luka still needs to mature 🙄 and not let his passion get him techs (granted refs nowadays are such pussies) but Luka needs to adjust.

2:40 his answer actually made sense he's still pretty new to the NBA and the his confidence wasn't that high.

Luka is a generational talent. He will take over the league when Lebron retires
Kenny
Why are people sleeping on luka if the start of the season never happened he would be mvp
Sean Miller
Maxi Kleber is shooting 46 percent from three this year
H2 D2
He makes his own shots and almost all of them are hard shots-contested step backs,so 38 percent is in fact great shooting if you consider the circumstances.
jjj
Imagine luka is a murican, maybe he is in the GOAT conversation now. But he is not , so Queen james is always the queen.
Lalambz
i guess they better make him take layups instead now...
theSUBVERSIVE
For some reason? Players were told the season would be back only in 2021, but then, TV partners wanted it earlier so they rushed it and started on Christmas.
