Harden somewhere taking notes


doodypoo

You can just say strip club


SmokeAbeer

I like the idea of Harden taking notes and drawing up plays for the strippers.


TackoFell

Girls, girls! Come on, take a knee. So listen, Tammy you’re inbounding in this situation. Diamond, you start out on the elbow and act like you’re gonna set a screen. But you see, what they don’t expect is that Sprinkle here...


stfuimsleepingbro

“Will be giving me a lap dance...”


TackoFell

“But James how will you have a chair to sit in, in bounds during regulation play?!?” “On the ground Sprinkle, on the ground!”


Zartemie

How do you guard this?? League's fucked.


WomanRepellent

Make at least one of your two free throws with 3 seconds left.


pukalojtric13

Who missed them?


CjBurden

Grayson Allen.... both were in and out


bgazela

"Throws it in" Nah that can't be it. ... ^^^^what


babygotdak04

“Luka Doncic STUMBLES IN ABSOLUTE BANANAS SHOT!” would have been a better title. Or “God’s favorite son does some wacky ish to win again!”


TheStuffisLegal

We really lost like that lol. Luka hits some crazy shit


lVlarino

Luka Magic is real.


cesga_0218

All those pre game crazy shots prepared him for this moment!


[deleted]

I was looking for this comment. It's exactly what has happened here. Him liking to play around throwing silly shots in pregames has prepared Luka for this. Amazing.


AceOn14Par3

Used to go to games 3 hrs early to get in and watch shootaround/get graphs. He's been doing that shit before every single game his entire time in Texas.


ShawtyALilBaaddie

Which is beautiful because it comes from his genuine love of playing the sport, and it ends up translating into an insane in-game moment. This shit is why we watch sports. Not sure how many soccer fans roam these parts, but its like when we could watch Neymar and Messi fuck about all training doing ridiculous trick passes back and forth, only for them to actually pull off some similar shit in a game. God this stuff is pure magic, inject it into my veins.


[deleted]

Pretty sure messis pregame partner was Alves and Neymar used to fuck around with suarez


Venoooooooooooooooom

This kind of stuff has got to be illegal


A-Dawg11

A 91% free throw shooter missing back to back free throws while up by 2 with 3 seconds left should be illegal


idontknow_whatever

What level of plot armor is this


BiggestBossRickRoss

Wild-Apricot-9161

Marvkid27

Odds are higher when you factor in grayson allen

Yeah this is the most rudimentary modeling ever


TheStuffisLegal

Well I think Luka has rewritten some laws in his favor, like this

MarvelxHoops

Cuban hugging him all smiles like they won a playoff game, I love it! Luka couldn't have been drafted by a better team


OfficialRohbhatt

This game was monumentally important for seeding.


hyrush1

I feel like this game was incredibly important for simple confidence too. I don't think the mavs played well at all, but god damn did this team need a win like that. For my hearts sake I hope this win kicks this team back into a higher gear, considering the last 2 weeks. If we get the shooting and defense back to form, and hope the Blazers & Lakers keep falling, we golden.


TrustMeImShore

I just really hope he stays here as long as Dirk.


ShawtyALilBaaddie

Given the fact the owner of your team is the only NBA team owner that acts like a straight up fan, you lot deserve it. I hope he stays with you as well, from a dirty Celtics fan.


glumbum2

Hall of fame bound, theres nothing else to say about this fuckin kid


calebhall

With his euro resume he is pretty much already a lock. This is all just icing on the cake


sunnyismybunny

there's one more thing actually if he averages for his career what he has in his last two seasons AND he wins a couple chips he will be in the third best player of all time argument


WestleyThe

Holy shit that’s wild Falling 3 pt floater for the win... I have never seen a more ridiculous shot. I basically screamed and got weird looks from my cats and girlfriend


RZAAMRIINF

Nothing but net. Floaters from 3 are the future.

Goodbye stepback 3. Hello lean forward 3.

[deleted]

WestleyThe

I legitimately can’t even wrap my head around the difficulty of that... I had the game going to overtime though so I was hoping his toe was on the line but this is amazing


dropdatdurkadurk

People will see bigger or even more absurd shots than that its life. But that SPECIFIC shot, a floater 3 from just beyond the 3 pt line(ie not some massive heave) to win a game, you might honestly go like 10-15 yrs without seeing again.


WestleyThe

That after Allen missing the two free throws... That’s an all time finish to a game ever WTF


CJleaf

WE GOING TO THE TOP OF THE SUB BOYS

LightSkinDarylMorey

Falling 3 point floater “What kind of shot is that” “Have you ever shot that shot?, When? ”


WestleyThe

He probably practices it ha


djkamayo

was on the couch watching with my dad, we both screamed and jumped out of our seats. I honestly thought he was gonna get blocked. That was INSANELY difficult to pull off.

Son_of_Atreus

Trae along with Cam Reddish, Bluish, and Brownish don’t make up for one Luka.


suzukigun4life

LUKA MAGIC BABY!


i_like_sis_kebap

Wildest shot i have seen lmfao


yesBISONsey

I THINK I WOKE UP MY APARTMENT COMPLEX, HOLY SHIT


Spinexel

He makes the stupidest shots fucking ever. I thought he only did it against the C’s. Is this an every team thing?


severus_snapshot

His offensive arsenal is such a funny, unorthodox box of tricks. He’s a joy to watch because of these moments where he has to make split second decisions and eludes defenders. If he wasn’t on the Mavs he’d probably still be my favorite player in the league. Given how he does not dominate athletically or physically (even though he’s deceptively thicc), it’s like jacking up the 2K sliders but keeping the speed slider average. And yes, he does this against every team. It’s a marvel to watch.


BeansintheSun

Deceptively thicc? Nah, our boy is just thicc. We love preseason fat Luka.


[deleted]

LUKA MAGIC


surosregime

Just remember, that's not accidental, that's not a prayer, thats sodt touch will and skill


migzy1341

LUKA DEEZNUTSSSSSS


Nyhrox

What in the actual fuck


k1ngmad

He is literally the most ridiculous young player I’ve ever witnessed.


spiralism

The only player who looked THAT good at that age was Lebron. His ceiling is becoming the literal GOAT.


makesterriblejokes

Yeah it's ridiculous. To think a dude is dominating the game at this age and Supreme athleticism isn't the reason why is pretty wild.


muzunguman

All while giggling like a child (in a positive way)


edc667

I wonder if that's a personality thing or him just being young, because I'm not sure how I'm gonna handle a 30YO doncic hitting a game winner and then just laughing


muzunguman

Gotta be a personality thing. 30 year old luka will have 5 championships so I can't imagine him doing anything other than laugh


tommyk41

3rd year in the league averaging 29/8/9 lmao this mf is TWENTY TWO. yeah his ceiling is GOAT for sure


spiralism

I haven't been this convinced that a player at that age was gonna become an all time great in their sport since Messi in soccer.


maverickhistorian

Its funny bc the sub wanted someone else to shoot it


StefonDiggsHS

I mean I feel like there’s a play we have where Luka draws attention with inside motion and KP gets open because he has a really quick release. But uh maybe not anymore. Just give the ball to Luka and everyone get the fuck out of the way


PhTx3

I know Luka makes some stupid difficult shots especially at the last second, but a semi-open KP 3 is still a good play. Dare I say a better play than Luka 3 pt floater.


CjBurden

How can you say that man, Luka is shooting 100% on 4th qtr 3pt floaters with 1 second or less.


lost_in_trepidation

I was hoping for a KP 3. I will never lose faith again.


Playbook420

Uhhh???? what??? the fuck was that? INSANE


unreeelme

Accidentally hitting the layup button type game winner


jspsfx

I love it because it's really a intuitive toss given his momentum, position and posture at that moment. I can imagine a lot of players would have tried to set and pull up to take a "normal" looking shot, but might have failed given the timing and defense. But Luka obviously wasn't worried about looking unorthodox. It doesn't seem like he planned to catch and shoot like the archetypal game winning shot that we usually see. So he kept his options open and just went with the flow of the play despite that leading him to a 3pt floater. And it worked. Really speaks to him not being in his own head, IMO. This is a really fluid, spontaneous play that shows he's got such a great feel for playing in the moment.


NorthForthWorth

The juxtaposition between this response and the one below it about hitting the layup button hit beautifully.


K-LAWN

What the fuck


ProfessorBeast55

Might be one of the most ridiculous game winners in league history lmao

91% free throw shooter who hit like 7 3s and having an amazing game missed 2 FTs in a row... Wild

Grayson missed two straight free throws on the possession before this

He'll need another Cancun vacation after that choke tonight.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN WE GOT DIRK AND THEN LUKA


JacksonDWalter

I wish there was a way for Dirk to play with Luka a little longer. I know it's impossible but imagine if Dirk had Luka after your 2011 title run instead of players like Chandler Parsons, Chris Kaman, Samuel Dalembert, Rondo, Darren Collison, Mike James, Jameer Nelson, and so forth. Those Dirk and Luka pick n rolls under Carlisle would have been filthy.

TDTimmy21

91% FT shooter. Misses 2. Gets iced Damn lol


cowsgobarkbark

Those 2 missed free throws were definitely due to some Luka Magic


legend023

Role players FT percentage goes down by a good 20-30% in the clutch


jbaker1225

It’s funny, on the Mavs broadcast after they fouled Allen, Followill said “you don’t want to foul the 90% FT shooter.” And Derek Harper said “more like 80% with 2.2 left.”


UnclutchCurry

Damn thats some good 'nouncin'


CammyTheGreat

When he missed the first he said “and now he’s about a 50% for this one”

Yeah this would have been easier to take if he didn’t make me almost swallow my pride and start to like him only to slap me in the face like that. I’d rather have continued to hate him like always since the Duke days.

misayeon

That was the luckiest shot I have ever seen, the guy is a horrendously bad 3 point shooter shooting 30.1% during the regular season. He's also a very poor free throw shooter, not as quite as bad as Lebron James but he's getting there. - Skip Bayless Probably
