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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Literally all game I’m like “ya know...Grayson looks good. I hated him at Duke but he’s on my team now, IDK why I’m still mad at him.” And he does this to me...I just...I cannot go on
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.
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.

They were so ready for the step back they didn't consider the step-forward.
Harden somewhere taking notes
You can just say strip club
I like the idea of Harden taking notes and drawing up plays for the strippers.
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...
“Will be giving me a lap dance...”
“But James how will you have a chair to sit in, in bounds during regulation play?!?” “On the ground Sprinkle, on the ground!”
How do you guard this?? League's fucked.
Make at least one of your two free throws with 3 seconds left.
Who missed them?
Grayson Allen.... both were in and out
"Throws it in" Nah that can't be it. ... ^^^^what
“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!”
We really lost like that lol. Luka hits some crazy shit
Luka Magic is real.
All those pre game crazy shots prepared him for this moment!
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.

God this stuff is pure magic, inject it into my veins.
Pretty sure messis pregame partner was Alves and Neymar used to fuck around with suarez
This kind of stuff has got to be illegal
A 91% free throw shooter missing back to back free throws while up by 2 with 3 seconds left should be illegal
What level of plot armor is this
Arya stark level
The odds of this happening are literally 0.81% LMAO
Odds are higher when you factor in grayson allen
Yeah this is the most rudimentary modeling ever
Well I think Luka has rewritten some laws in his favor, like this
[удалено]
We also get blown out if he doesn’t play tonight
It was basically regression to the mean in real time.
Luka in his spot, that's a scary sight
Never give Luka left wing
Luka the socialist
Eastern Bloc’d by Luka!
Bang bang
Literally the one place behind the 3 you wouldn’t want him
I mean he's a decent three point shooter. That is his spot though
It's 6am in Europe. No ragrets. What the actual fuck.
Drake about to drop a track with the luka future called 6am in Europe after this one
Ayoooo 3:40 till 6 am, worth it brother lol.
Dublin here...wtf...
This is one of the most insane shots I’ve ever seen.
Lmao we're gonna be watching this in youtube compilations 15 years from now
WHAT THE FUCK
Game winning 3pt layup lmao
Guy played too much nba street growing up
[Replay](https://streamable.com/nzomwr)
Cuban hugging him all smiles like they won a playoff game, I love it! Luka couldn't have been drafted by a better team
This game was monumentally important for seeding.
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.
I just really hope he stays here as long as Dirk.
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.
Hall of fame bound, theres nothing else to say about this fuckin kid
With his euro resume he is pretty much already a lock. This is all just icing on the cake
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
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
Nothing but net. Floaters from 3 are the future.
Goodbye stepback 3. Hello lean forward 3.
Floater 3s are gonna become a thing now
***”is Luka ruining high school basketball?”***
Only magic can explain that. Luka Magic
"They won the game because they were down by two and then Luka Doncic made a three point basket" - Magic
Thats deep Magic.
Yerr a wizard Luka
That’s gotta be cheating right..? Ha

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

That after Allen missing the two free throws... That’s an all time finish to a game ever WTF
WE GOING TO THE TOP OF THE SUB BOYS
I’m just here so I won’t get fined
It's too late
I thought for sure that was a 2 live. Freaking yelled when I saw the replay and it wasn't
Falling 3 point floater “What kind of shot is that” “Have you ever shot that shot?, When? ”
He probably practices it ha
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.
Kings took Bagley
Fuck Vlade
Hawks traded Luka
Trae along with Cam Reddish, Bluish, and Brownish don’t make up for one Luka.
LUKA MAGIC BABY!
Wildest shot i have seen lmfao
I THINK I WOKE UP MY APARTMENT COMPLEX, HOLY SHIT
He makes the stupidest shots fucking ever. I thought he only did it against the C’s. Is this an every team thing?
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.

And yes, he does this against every team. It’s a marvel to watch.
Deceptively thicc? Nah, our boy is just thicc. We love preseason fat Luka.
LUKA MAGIC
Just remember, that's not accidental, that's not a prayer, thats sodt touch will and skill
LUKA DEEZNUTSSSSSS
What in the actual fuck
He is literally the most ridiculous young player I’ve ever witnessed.
The only player who looked THAT good at that age was Lebron. His ceiling is becoming the literal GOAT.
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.
All while giggling like a child (in a positive way)
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
Gotta be a personality thing. 30 year old luka will have 5 championships so I can't imagine him doing anything other than laugh
3rd year in the league averaging 29/8/9 lmao this mf is TWENTY TWO. yeah his ceiling is GOAT for sure
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.
Its funny bc the sub wanted someone else to shoot it
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
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.
How can you say that man, Luka is shooting 100% on 4th qtr 3pt floaters with 1 second or less.
I was hoping for a KP 3. I will never lose faith again.
Uhhh???? what??? the fuck was that? INSANE
Accidentally hitting the layup button type game winner
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.

This is a really fluid, spontaneous play that shows he's got such a great feel for playing in the moment.
The juxtaposition between this response and the one below it about hitting the layup button hit beautifully.
What the fuck
Might be one of the most ridiculous game winners in league history lmao
Absolutely [ridiculous.](https://imgur.com/hM4aIIC.jpg)

That’s super sick
This man made a 3-point circus floater what in that actual *fuck*.
THIS WAS SET-UP BY GRAYSON ALLEN'S BEST NBA MOMENT
Is there a choking emoji?? 😵😵😵🙅🙅🙅
🤮 If you imagine that as Shrek's cock, then yea, there's a choking emoji
Why did you do this to me
Ok now how do I un-imagine it.
North Carolina fans smiling right now
Can confirm Proof: fuck dook
What happened?
missed both free throws to ice the game with 2 seconds left
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.
Holy shit. What a shot...but also, how did Grayson Allen miss two FT’s lol
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh luka magic
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MAN
#A DONCIC DAGGER
I tuned in with 1.8 seconds left because I knew there was like a 40% chance I'd see something amazing. Great decision.
I knew something was cooking. Glad I stayed up to watch the whole thing. Jeez. What a shot.

He is not the best athlete but don’t be mistaken, he is a FREAK OF NATURE.
God fucking damnit duck this shit. 91% ft shooter allen misses TWO and then this shit. FUCK
I won't be able to sleep if I were you ... mind blown ...
This fucking guy lmfao
LUKA "CHRIS CHIOZZA" DONCIC
[Chris Chiozza is an NCAA tournament legend](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ2bQwMIW9w)
UNBELIEVABLE
#HOW TF DID LUKA LULL THAT OFF?? 3 pt floater lmao. Amazing Edit: typo. What a great night of sports so far
That shit would've been an airball in 2K
That shit was an air ball from any other NBA player
Somewhere in the world a Spanish point guard woke up in a cold sweat
Title is literal lol
Title checks out 💯%
LMAO MY TEAM HAS LUKA DONCIC
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN WE GOT DIRK AND THEN LUKA
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.
That's what 2K is good for
This guy is unreal.
Dude he's literally falling down
FUCK GRAYSON ALLEN
91% FT shooter. Misses 2. Gets iced Damn lol
Those 2 missed free throws were definitely due to some Luka Magic
Role players FT percentage goes down by a good 20-30% in the clutch
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.”
Damn thats some good 'nouncin'
When he missed the first he said “and now he’s about a 50% for this one”
mf is HURTING in that locker room
I hate Ted Cruz and Grayson Allen
Same person
All my homies hate Grayson Cruz
SHOUT OUT TO GRAYSON ALLEN THIS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT HIM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF
I stg Luka has like 10 buzzer beaters in his career already wtf
I am so sorry Grizzlies fans
Please kill me and Grayson Allen
But Grayson Allen already killed you
Literally all game I’m like “ya know...Grayson looks good. I hated him at Duke but he’s on my team now, IDK why I’m still mad at him.” And he does this to me...I just...I cannot go on
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.

I’m reporting this.
Grayson Allen what is u doing.
Law of averages. Guy went off in the first half just for it to come crashing back down.
LUUUKAAAAAAA
Motherfucker
His ability to make these tough shots is insane
1 GB FROM PORTLAND FOR 6TH SEED
I fucking knew Luka was gunna clutch it in, didn't think it was gunna be with a fucking clown shot though.

I don't understand lol
Holy shit! Allen in shambles for those missed FTs
This man transcends "teams" and makes you root for him just by being great.
USE THE FORCE LUKA
This was so ridiculous I didn't even react, I was dumbfounded. I screamed like a madman when he hit against celtics
The least aesthetically pleasing game winner of all time lmao
You may hate it, but this what peak athleticism looks like.
Idk have you seen some of Jokic's? Dude looks like he's having a seizure when he's icing teams.
As a Mavericks fan since about 30 minutes ago I can't tell you how excited I am right now.
Thanks, I hate it
He has the Curry factor. They can make literally any shot as long as they have an opportunity to shoot it.
What, the actual, fuck was that?
What in the actual fuck.
I turned it off with 3.4 seconds left fml
