Amazing❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine how lit Atlanta would be rn if they drafted Luka instead of Trae 😂😂😂
Who said Larry bird again…🙄
imagine drafting Trey over Luka lmao
and they trade luka for trae.. 😅
This is getting ridiculous🤦🏿♂️😂everybody dropping 60-70
Luka is better then book
Where’s the defense?!!!
Doncic is a miracle!
Luka playing like he being controlled on 2k
Respect on his name ✅️🔥✅️🔥
He makes all his buckets look so effortless
Let us not forget that Atlanta traded Luka Doncic for Trae Young on draft night.
Hawks got to be feeling some type of way right now 😂😂 traded Luka in 2018
He’s only 24😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨!!!!! That’s why he’s this generations Larry!!!!
A one man show of Luka against a five-man team of the Atlanta Hawks.
defense has left the chat
He said "I was here but you traded me"
Imagine if Luka and Joker were on the same team…
AMAAAAAAAAZZZZIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!! #GOAT
I appreciate the commentator trying to insert Luka's name into the ranking of most points in a game. But I gotta say, the effect is somewhat lessened when you've gotta say Wilt's name like, four times before you even get to Luka lmao. Not to take away from Luka's accomplishment. Incredible performance.
Luka>embiid
What year did they stop callying carrying? It seems like it's been a while, but man…
Terrible defense
People have to assume that the players and their minds have evolved. Many say about soft defenses etc. but I think they don't see the double and triple defense that they do to Lula every game, otherwise it would be possible to score 90 points every 5 games. Older people refuse to assume that their past stars were in worse shape and not as good as the current NBA stars.
Bro, way too many 60+ point games. They dont even mean anything anymore.
Kobe would have scored 100 in this era
