Why is Luka Doncic such an incredible player?..

Even though Luka Doncic is a celebrity, I’m still in awe of him when I see him play. He’s definitely among the least exceptional athletes in the NBA when it comes to sheer athletic ability. Even though he occasionally moves so slowly, he always hits his shots with confidence.

For starters, mastery of angles. He is skilled at throwing opponents off balance and knows just how to capitalize on it. That is sheer talent. He is always in control, always plays at his own speed, and constantly guards the ball. All of this sounds like basketball lingo that all stars speak, but Luka is a chess grandmaster when it comes to it. a gamer who plans two steps ahead. He starts leading you in the wrong direction with hesitant dribbles because he knows where he wants to go and utilizes that move to set up the next move, which he chains into the following move. That’s precisely how Larry Bird did it, but in a different style.

All of it serves as a setup for his passes, which are again all about making the right move and staying smart all the time. when the defender’s hands are up, throwing a bounce pass. putting his hands down to catch the defender and launching the lob entry. Knowing the location of the shooters because, while making his move, he briefly glanced in their direction. Perfect touch on lobs. Essentially, his offensive prowess lies in his superhuman touch with both hands, which enables him to shoot, finish, and pass with accuracy. This is akin to a football player with generational skill, as he can consistently squeeze the ball into the net’s corner.

He is essentially LeBron, but his shiftiness and shooting have replaced the differences in verticality, explosiveness, and strength.
