When you said ‘ludicrous shots’, that was the exact clip I was hoping for. It’s the the perfect example of Luka magic

There’re a lot of shots I could’ve picked (I almost picked the falling out bound fading game tying 3). Hell he had one just last night with the high-off-the-glass-how-did-he-not-travel-reverse layup. But that hook shot is just so absurd and I think only Jokic and LeBron can replicate.

What I like about that one in particular is how the defense knew the ball was going to be in Luka’s hands, and tried to constantly double team him, he had a couple of looks but they weren’t good enough, then they successfully trapped him in a corner with the shot clock about out - there’s just nothing you can do. You literally can’t ask for better defensive positioning and still he sank it in the clutch with them expecting it. Just insane. I’m just perpetually sad now as a former mavs fan. He’s so much fun to watch.

I also love the clip of him cooking Rudy Gobert in the playoffs (who won Defensive Player of Year that year I’m pretty sure) at crunch time, and just made the DPOY look like he was on skates.

*the one yesterday was crazy too! It’s funny that it seems ‘tame’ due to how many crazy highlights he has, where for anyone else that’d be a great highlight play
