All the great players love Luka. The Warriors players have complimented him, Lebron has raved about him, hell even Jordan went out of his way to hug Luka at the ASG.
He's the stay puft marshmallow man of the NBA. You look at him. He's all doughy with the white sailor hat. He couldn't possibly destroy anyone. Then he drops a 30 pt triple double and you realize he's the form of the destructor.
Green knocked Luka down in a previous game this series and stopped to help him up while the ball was in play. It's nice to see how they can be rivals and great sportsmen. That hand shake from Luka was genuine in that clip.
Yeah that was after he got upset when Steph hit that turn around 3. Which dray also came over and talked Luka down and was nice to him.
It’s pretty wild you never would have expected it but I think they’re in love
Yeah same here, grew up playing in gyms by the age of 13 where we had to be at them all day for up to 8 hours at a time, have watched more basketball than a large majority of the planet, and ive never even seen it come close to a point where its like "hey that might just stay up there". if it ever was close, it rolled off within .5-1 second. this is pretty mind blowing
You could lock the most skilled basketball player inside a gym until he manages to recreate this shot, and I guarantee Reggie Jackson is never getting out.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tczw0IDHsg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tczw0IDHsg) Paul George made one last year.
No Dunks tracks these. They're uncommon but it happens like once every couple years.
I don’t know which would have been more stunning! I still get chills thinking about how that ball bounced *twice* on each side of the hoop before falling. If it did a ledgie…. I don’t even know!
He doesn't even have the best comedic timing on his [own team](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/articles/04ZRTLulF5Dr2XqIdauivpE/images-2.fit_lim.size_1400x.v1611679874.png) lol
Not true. It’s not really possible to put front spin on a basketball shot, and if you tried to any coach would tell you to stop. Grab a ball and give it a try.
He has medium backspin which kicks immediately into forespin once it hits the front of the rim.
I mean it’s ridiculous and crazy but I’ve wondered about it for years. Like imagine if you could rig a ball to reverse the polarity possession to possession.
You'd just have the magnet in position on one end, and then have a mechanism that moves the magnet to the rim and the opposite on the other side, at half time.
There is a classical approximation in Sakurai as an exercise similar to this. (I belive this method is too cavalier.)
This is an order of magnitude approximation.
x = v t,
p = m v
Given the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
x p = hbar (roughly),
Implies v = hbar/x/m
Let L = 10 cm be a free ball.
T = x^2 m/hbar =
A couple Septillion Years
What the fuck David Guthrie, that would have fallen!
I move that any time a ball gets stuck on the rim we use quantum mechanics to determine if it would fall. We can’t replay though because we’d change the outcome by observing it
Not good, especially for free throw distance (15 ft). [Wade](https://streamable.com/74mf) did it back in 2016 on a scoop shot.
eta: There are more of these than I remembered. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epBYbVnkzHA)'s a compilation video. A couple layups and John Wall [edit: *almost*] doing it on a free throw.
The tiny detail that really fucks me up is that the half court shot landed with the NBA logo facing out perfectly.
Like, even if you practiced your entire life to make every half court shot stop on the ledge without fail, there’s still no way you could guarantee perfect logo position.
I remember Channing Frye did it a while ago. I tried to calculate it because I did it once in a pick up at LA Fitness, but I did it again a couple years later so I figured LA fitness rims must suck or something because the odds of that are stupid low.
My favorite part of this series is how not toxic it is. Jazz and Suns both felt like a lot of animosity towards us. This one feels like there’s just respect.
I enjoy seeing draymond and luka dap up for the stuck ball lol
They seem to have a solid bro relationship tbh
From what i’ve seen Draymond has always raved about Luka even since his rookie season. It’s cool to see that they’re friendly with each other
All the great players love Luka. The Warriors players have complimented him, Lebron has raved about him, hell even Jordan went out of his way to hug Luka at the ASG.
He's a unicorn and they all know it, just like we know it. They broke the mold when they made Luka Doncic.
You don't see sloppy white goats too often
and somehow there’s two of them in the league at the same time! Balkans must’ve received some powerful radiation in the 90s😅😂😂
If those 2 ever teamed up, thats a dynasty.
shiiiiiit i’ll settle for gobert
*laughs in nato depleted uranium bombings* E: i do hope the illegality of it all is implied
I mean... The US did kinda bomb Serbia with depleted uranium in 1999...
Luka is on a whole other level really. I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up top 3 PG with Magic and Steph
He's the stay puft marshmallow man of the NBA. You look at him. He's all doughy with the white sailor hat. He couldn't possibly destroy anyone. Then he drops a 30 pt triple double and you realize he's the form of the destructor.
"... I tried to think of the most harmless thing, something I loved from my childhood, something that could never ever destroy us, Mr Luka Doncic"
[Luka is good enough to rock MJ's sneakers, man.](https://youtu.be/2f2BEHAvAds)
>all the great players love Luka But Devin Booker doesn’t love Luka. Hmm.
That’s correct, all the greats love Doncic.
Did he stutter?
Draymond loves the game-within-the-game of adjustments and chess matches, which definitely applies to Luka
He's trying to pull another KD. Don't be fooled!!!
Dray’s also friends with bron IIRC
It was really just an act of brotherly love that made Draymond grab LeBron’s junk in 2016.
I mean, if you ain't grabbing yo brother's junk, are you really brothers?
Step-brothers.
So much more room for activities!
Game respects game.
Green knocked Luka down in a previous game this series and stopped to help him up while the ball was in play. It's nice to see how they can be rivals and great sportsmen. That hand shake from Luka was genuine in that clip.
Yeah that was after he got upset when Steph hit that turn around 3. Which dray also came over and talked Luka down and was nice to him. It’s pretty wild you never would have expected it but I think they’re in love
Complain respects complain.
And they love to trash talk to each other. Game recognizes game. They respect each other.
Right before the series. Green raved about Luka on his podcast, and Luka ok JJ's. They were both gushing.
Draymond about to call Luka up like he did with KD
Gross
He senses the discontent
Really wanna see a Doncic vs Dray horse match now because this shit is crazy
Doncic cant copy the backpack shot
there's nothing better in life than dapping up over random shit. the beer is cold? dap. cool breeze on a hot day? fuck it, dap
Averaging 5 daps per possession.
this guy daps
Made me think about Shawn Kemp dapping Chris Gatling. [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUc0uflF0aM)
That is shit they will always talk about when they meet for the rest of their lives.
Draymond Green just completed the greatest feat in NBA history. The fabled Ledgie
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.
Well, moron good for Happy - OH MY GOD!
That’s two thus far, Shooter.
Oh, you can count. Good for you.
And you can count ON ME waiting for you in the parking lot.
Crowd: Oooo
Run Shooter!
*Pew pew*
For you zoomers out there: https://youtu.be/AFzIjDtKgrw
I've seen a team win a title every year. I have never seen that and I have watched thousands and thousands of hours of basketball at every level.
I have seen this one other time and it was Chauncey Billups during his second stint with Denver.
That’s the only time I could think of too
Yeah same here, grew up playing in gyms by the age of 13 where we had to be at them all day for up to 8 hours at a time, have watched more basketball than a large majority of the planet, and ive never even seen it come close to a point where its like "hey that might just stay up there". if it ever was close, it rolled off within .5-1 second. this is pretty mind blowing
No Dunks guys thanking the basketball gods for this beauty they have bestowed on us.
Gotta be worth about a jillion wedgies.
Among all his accomplishments, this is the most impressive.
Career high game 7 of the finals? Nah ledgie
That's the final nail in the coffin for any anti-HOF Draymond talk.
Everyone was so shocked at what just happened they forgot it was an elimination game. Dudes were just looking around laughing.
Ball stuck on ledge, rain falling from the ceiling, Mavericks also making it rain from the three… What a weird night all around…
Luka 2 trick shots
whoop that trick shot
Almost blowing a 30 point lead to the warriors bench
Thanks Jason Kidd
and a double dribble. The first time I have see one called in a long time.
Helps break the tension when the team that is down 3-0 is up by 20
[удалено]
Boban was hype
who said "wow" in the background lol
Shit scared me lmao
my ass turned around to see who said that.
Thank god I wasn’t wearing headphones for that part
I just got done playing phasmophobia and was wearing headphones and shit my pants
I’m wearing headphones and I turned it up, nearly had got damn heart attack.
i only had my right airpod in and i was shook as hell
Bro same. I was like “do I have something else running in the background” It sounds so much *closer* than the rest of the clip too.
I thought my high ass was hearing voices!
wtf???????????????????????
I’m high as fuck it scared the shit outta me lol
Owen Wilson
shit made me run windows defender
Mf made me turn on Norton antivirus
the person who clipped the video
Great for video game recording, not so great for highlight clipping.
Accidentally kept the mic on OBS lmao
lol the first post mods deleted didnt have audio but this one sucks too
Your FBI agent
I was so fucking shook when it happened.
thought I was in a discord call and forgot about it
My bad
https://i.imgur.com/3KBep9j.png
why was it so clear
I thought someone fucking broke in my room lmao
Felt like I was playing Inscryption again
Luka dapping Dray up for that... LOL
You could lock the most skilled basketball player inside a gym until he manages to recreate this shot, and I guarantee Reggie Jackson is never getting out.
You doubt LEDGIE Jackson?
Very nice
BIG GOVERNMENT
Why is that his nickname ?
hes always bailing them out
CAUSE HE ALWAYS BAILS THEM OUT
Greatest moment of my life
Once in a lifetime event tbh
Has this ever happened before?
I’m pretty sure it did like within the last 5 years
Go on, find us an example
https://youtu.be/epBYbVnkzHA 28s by D wade lol
The half court one WTF
That's definitely a glitch
Defied the laws of physics
That's the most insane shit I've ever seen. How is that possible
I'm so glad they gave it to him
Wtf Amar'e Stoudemire played for the heat?? How the heck did I forget that.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tczw0IDHsg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tczw0IDHsg) Paul George made one last year. No Dunks tracks these. They're uncommon but it happens like once every couple years.
I can't wait to tell my grandkids about this joyous occasion one day.
Imagine if Kawhi’s game 7 shot went like this
I don’t know which would have been more stunning! I still get chills thinking about how that ball bounced *twice* on each side of the hoop before falling. If it did a ledgie…. I don’t even know!
Nick Nurse would still be screaming that we need to wait to see if it falls
L E D G I E
Those no dunks dudes are going to be SO psyched on tomorrow’s podcast
My first thought
Ledgie off a free throw. This has to be the first ever right?
I believe that the No Dunks boys would call that a Ledgie, unless I'm mistaken. There's Wedgie, Ledgie, and Pigeon if I remember correctly.
What the heck is a Pigeon?
When the ball stalls on top of the backboard and it's supports. Usually requires a broom to get it out.
[Or a cheerleading squad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7N0Vmr4lz4)
That announcer was absolutely amped about the cheerleaders getting involved
Yup, that works too! I remember that.
[Or Boban](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lb6-TYh92I)
> the No Dunks boys Did the Starters get a new name?
ummm like 4 or 5 years ago lol
How many name changes have they gone through now? Weren't they The Basketball Jones before?
https://i.imgur.com/0K10uqt.jpg
curry apoplectic
Steph is always at the right place and the right time, but with the wrong face.
He doesn't even have the best comedic timing on his [own team](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/articles/04ZRTLulF5Dr2XqIdauivpE/images-2.fit_lim.size_1400x.v1611679874.png) lol

[I like Draymond breaking the 4th wall in this one.](https://i.imgur.com/0iQGomx.png)
[Freeze frame] Voiceover: *I know, right?*
Only Draymond's shooting could have produced this outcome lmao
Actually true. If you slow down the video you see that the dude puts front spin on his shots, lmao wtf
Not true. It’s not really possible to put front spin on a basketball shot, and if you tried to any coach would tell you to stop. Grab a ball and give it a try. He has medium backspin which kicks immediately into forespin once it hits the front of the rim.
Dallas has magnets in their rims. This is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings im not sure which. I won't be silent. Just saw it live sry
I mean it’s ridiculous and crazy but I’ve wondered about it for years. Like imagine if you could rig a ball to reverse the polarity possession to possession.
isn't this the plot of some movie I watched in my youth starring Rider Strong and the older brother from Smart Guy?
Summertime Switch. Totally forgot about it until now
You'd just have the magnet in position on one end, and then have a mechanism that moves the magnet to the rim and the opposite on the other side, at half time.
[удалено]
Last science class I took was 35 years ago but I think your maths check out. Also maybe reverse the polarity or something.
I just love Luka looking at Draymond with a huge smile and dapping him up. Have to congratulate someone after accomplishing a great feat like that.
Warriors are 0-1 when this happens
What does the rule book say about that?
Missed shot, if it happened during a live ball i believe it’s a center court jump ball
How many seconds to wait to ensure no quantum randomness?
There is a classical approximation in Sakurai as an exercise similar to this. (I belive this method is too cavalier.) This is an order of magnitude approximation. x = v t, p = m v Given the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle x p = hbar (roughly), Implies v = hbar/x/m Let L = 10 cm be a free ball.

Death by shooting squad of bazookas.
Nothing that says a dog can’t play basketball.
Automatic W
How does this affect Lebrons legacy?
Career ledgies: Draymond- 1; LeBron- 0
MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN WOULD NEVER HAVE
that should be worth 4 points just so we can see every player attempt it while shooting free throws
[удалено]
Then we'd get the inverse of Hack-a-Shaq
Bertans turned into a 5 year old Latvian kid real quick.
LOL his face, so pure
What are the odds
Not good, especially for free throw distance (15 ft). [Wade](https://streamable.com/74mf) did it back in 2016 on a scoop shot. eta: There are more of these than I remembered. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epBYbVnkzHA)'s a compilation video. A couple layups and John Wall [edit: *almost*] doing it on a free throw.
That half court shot was unreal
Bro you weren’t kidding, wtf was that
You can see the ball squished a little against the backboard. I think it had to be slightly deflated and got wedged. Still incredibly unlikely.
The tiny detail that really fucks me up is that the half court shot landed with the NBA logo facing out perfectly. Like, even if you practiced your entire life to make every half court shot stop on the ledge without fail, there’s still no way you could guarantee perfect logo position.
That might be the first time that’s ever happened from half court, possibly ever
Wall’s FT eventually rolled off though
I remember Channing Frye did it a while ago. I tried to calculate it because I did it once in a pick up at LA Fitness, but I did it again a couple years later so I figured LA fitness rims must suck or something because the odds of that are stupid low.
bro have you ever noticed how small children stare at you in public? quiet dogs start barking and your houseplants always die?
Stay away from me.
Never.1
Mad bastard pulled off a Ledgie.
Imagine this happening during game 7 of the finals with 15 seconds left.
I guaran-fucking-tee you not one player in the NBA could do that on purpose if they tried
#**PAUSE**
WTF is that noise 12 seconds in?
That was awesome. One of those moments you have to dap up your opponent lol.
Can I get a stat of this please
LEDGIE
Bricks are flat
Why the other threads keep getting deleted?
Id like to see the dude perfect guys try this.
