[Highlight) Luka Dončić makes the free-throw to cap a 60-point performance in the Lakers’ 134-126 victory over the Heat. Dončić has the first 60-point game for the Lakers since Kobe Bryant scored 60 points on April 13, 2016.
He had to miss the first to add some suspense, ultimate showman
Luka step back contested 3 pointer - Swish
Luka contested double clutch shot - Swish
Luka trickshot from halfcourt - Swish
Luka from the FT line - Clank
It really does seem like the more difficult the shot is the more likely he makes it cause I seriously don’t understand how he’s this bad at FTs lol
If he faded away on FTs he’d increase his % by 10
Time to bring back the Nick Van Exel FT.
Looking this up, love seeing a “Kings killer” referenced here
No joke man. In his Mavs days, he would brick every shot if he was left out there to stat pad
Even this game there was a bunch of instances where he could’ve got to the line earlier to get 60 but kept telling AR to get the ball. He was trying to stay away from the ball when he hit 59.
Nash used to have quite a bit of backwards leaning force on his free throws, he would always step back immediately after shooting
if the referees contested Luka’s FTs like how one ref did Kris Humphries, Luka will shoot 95% at the line
I dont know the rules, but can you do a FT jump shot or fade away?
As long as you don’t cross the line
Yes, the official rule just states that the shooter can’t pass the line until the ball hits the rim or backboard. They just don’t do it cause it’s much harder to be consistent when you throw in a bunch of extra movement / variables. But Luka though…
Fadeaway FT with 2 defenders contesting will increase it by 20%
tick under 80% is “this bad at FTs”?
Historically great shooter being below average ft shooter is kinda crazy
He’s a historically great scorer, not pure shooter.
He is a pretty amazing shooter considering the difficulty of shots. But also, he ramps up during the season so his percentages look worse than he actually is.
i swear he just gets bored practicing FTs and starts to just yeet it from the logo instead
Especially considering how good he is in the midrange
He’s a career 75% shooter from the line…that’s not “a tick under 80%”
78.1% last three seasons and 15 of 19 today (78.9% today). That’s a tick for me sorry
Welcome to the Luka Doncic experience, enjoy it while it lasts and hope some dipshit GM doesn’t ruin it for you.
Nico just got fired again
Superman said he is for everyone, but if Superman saw what Nico did, he would grab Nico by the neck and fire him on the Sun.
Superman only hates two types of people. Nazi’s and Nico
Wait there’s a difference?
Yeah
Nico is Darkseid to that franchise lol
Like he does to nicotine in those anti smoking ads
dawg how did the city of Dallas let that man leave the vicinity lmao
as a dallas resident, idk when it’ll ever feel like luka isn’t ours.
Nico “Britney Spears” Harrison: Oops, I did it again
Good guy Luka respecting Kobe by tying him and not surpassing him.
Nah, as long as he didn’t pass the 81-point game he’s fine
No one would dare do that 🙃
Do you guys actually care about that? Kobe himself would’ve been happy for Bam.
Records are meant to be broken
It’s (probably) a joke at the expense of all the Kobe stans that bitched for days about Bam passing Kobe.
Bingo. Just jokes. Even some of the tv talking heads were on that energy, was very annoying.
Yeah but………
Kobe was competitive af. I don’t think he would’ve been happy for Bam. Might’ve said all the right things to the media but, he wouldn’t have been happy about it deep down.
Unlike some of the salty old heads, he’s always praised the next generation of players. He’s sent a bottle of rare wine to LeBron for breaking his points record… and famously tweeted about ‘continuing to move the game forward’ a day before his death.
I kind of think Kobe would have cheekily said “Congrats, but do it without your teammates intentionally fouling next time 😉” or something along those lines. Ultimately would be happy for Bam, but he would likely take a playful jab based on how the end of that game unfolded lol.
Kobe stans wouldn’t care as much if someone like Luka broke his record. They hated Bam for doing it because he’s not known to be an elite scorer.
Worst trade in sports history. Will never be beat. I can’t even think of a trade right now that would beat it.
One’s dropping 60 the other is on the Wizards. Both great achievements
In street clothes too
Loved AD on the Lakers but how could one truly think an injury prone big for a prime 25 year old top 5 player was a good deal? You ask people who don’t know basketball and 9⁄10 would pick Luka. Guess Nico was that one who didn’t. Idiot!
Just wait until he has a bad game and people pull out the defense of the trade lmao
Defense, fat, drinking, whining
Still scores 60 on people
You’re joking but a few weeks ago, people were unironically saying “maybe Nico has a point”. Dumbasses
Yup, they’ll say that in a couple weeks the next time he has a slight slump
AD is defending his street clothes nickname pretty well
Babe Ruth being sold to the Yankees to fund a bad musical
The Vikings traded the farm to the Cowboys for a declining Herschel Walker, and those draft picks later became Emmitt Smith, Russell Maryland, Kevin Smith, and Darren Woodson. The Cowboys went on to win 3 Super Bowls. The Vikings did not.
This one is worse. The Cowboys still had to get those picks right.
In the soccer world, back in 2012, Arsenal sold Van Persie to Man United which literally handed them their 20th championship. They still hold the record for most titles won.
Imagine if the Lakers gave Luka to the Celtics and the Celtics won a 19th chip
That was bad of course, but RVP only had that one great season, and left his prime after. Luka has barely entered his.
Draymond Green was openly wondering on his podcast why people were mad at Nico about 3 weeks ago.
Mike “Idiot” Kellerman was suggesting to trade Luka away for the 3&D.
Perkins had him second team all-NBA and outside of top 5 in the MVP conversation two mornings ago.
There is a long list of Sports media “experts” all lining up to crap all over Luka’s head. Cowherd, Parker, Rick Bucher, Simmons and Russillo, list goes on and on and on.
Now that Luka is not on Mavs, it will be way harder for all these clowns and idiots to cover up and keep driving their narrative.
Eat that. LFG Lakers, lets go Luka.
Worst one before this has to be the Bill Russell for Ed Macauley and Cliff Hagan. At least the St Louis Hawks won a chip with them but the 11 championships Russell won is tough in retrospect.
Maybe trey young for luka
Not even close I don’t think. It’s a bad trade, but not even close to the Mavs trading Luke before he’s even hit his prime and 6 months after he took them to the finals.
And he did it for 31 games (out of a possible 85) of Anthony Davis.
And it was known by both fanbases seconds after it was announced that it would be. No hindsight, no tinted goggles.
Just sheer stupidity.
Babe Ruth. I think that’s legitimately the only contender.
Mavs turned prime Luka into Marvin Bagley
Show his teammates’ reaction when he missed the first one lmao
The DON 😭
Seeing Vando plugging his nose cause Luka threw a stinker on the first one got me dying 😂😂
They were all ready to celebrate then had to sit back down so fast
They were all on their feet ready to celebrate, then just slumped back down in unison. The emotional whiplash was hilarious.
If we are gonna put boots on the ground in Iran, Nico needs to be on the front lines
i’m so sorry mavs fans. y’all must still be going through it.
It blows but I’m happy to see Luka thriving. His entire career has been unfair to him.
We love him and appreciate him. Mavs fans are always welcomed on the bandwagon after how dirty Nico did you guys.
It’s never not going to hurt. Pretty much the only thing that could take a tiny bit off the sting away is if he eventually returns to Dallas and helps lead the Mavs to a title the way LeBron did w/the Cavs.
But everyone in Dallas knows that’s not the same and never could be. And that’s what sucks so much about it
i mean at this point i dont hurt any more because my love for basketball is dead. so there’s that lol. i was a mavs fan since 1995 and the day that trade happened i was done with the mavs. i tried to make it work finding a new team or whatever but just felt wrong. so i watch the lakers from time to time and root for luka but otherwise, i dont care anymore. so again, there’s the silver lining.
MFFL but man I can’t help but cry sometimes/most of the time
Nico ayatollah is already there leading the charge on basketball terrorism.
major general Darvin Ham calling out the artillery strikes
Put Nico on an oil tanker and sail it into the Strait of Hormuz.
The creative Nico jokes always have me in tears. Well done.
lol fair
Absolute fucking joke of a man. Destroyed the emotions of so many Mavs fans
stopped at 60 out of respect for LeBron
Kobe would’ve dropped 81 on them just to make a point
*Ethical 60 points
Even missed one free throw
Respected kobe and bron
The play after this where The Heat were bricking a bunch of threes while DeAndre claps in mid air was low-key hilarious
I was dying there was 3 of them hovering at the rim just chillin 😂
That was lame af from Miami lol
That shit was funny haha
I can’t remember a time where so many players have a legitimate argument for best player in the League. Shai, Joker, Wemby, Luka, all have legitimate arguments for that title
You even forgot to mention the second highest scorer in a game of all time!
Spam (Fts) Adebayo /s
Let’s not pretend the Wiz weren’t tackling him every other possession.
Yeah I don’t get it. Poor Bam , had a career night just to have made fun of by so many people.
Nobody thanks the Toronto Raptors for contributing to Kobe’s 81 points. So why should we thank the Wizards? Ultimately Bam had to make the free throws himself.
The Lakers were losing most of that game!
Agree but I’d say Giannis belongs there too.
where are all the doofus who were praising Nico Harrison a month ago
man i even saw Lakers fans trying to justify the trade and saying it’s not the worst trade of all time😭😭
AD is a great player, but he’s not even close to Luka
Ngl this franchise has got one of the dumbest fanbases ever
Tbf it’s a lot of people. Your blind to catch a lot of idiots with that a wide a net
I love LA with all my heart but by God there are a lot of dumbasses in this city.
Lakers are most likely the NBA team with the biggest fan base outside of the US
frankly i don’t think it’s even close
You have people in the Philippines and in Mongolia wearing Lakers jerseys
Well shit, this dude’s pretty good.
But Kendrick Perkins says that he isn’t a first team all-nba… he doesn’t play enough defense. Ignore those 5 steals.
Top 10 in steals and charges taken. His bad defense is greatly overblown by the dumb espn and inside the nba guys.
Too scrappy and lunch-pail guy for Perkins.
MVP
He’s more fun to watch, that’s for sure
I was told he’s a black hole on offense
Who in the ever living fuck said Luka fucking Doncic was a black hole on OFFENSE? What?
There were so so so many idiots saying that during december.
I don’t wanna air him out, but he lurks on this sub amongst us
Him? It was a lot more than 1 guy lmao
This whole sub ?
If anything, he’d be a white hole
He is the offense
Who said that? Luka is one of the best scorers in the league. Black hole on defense sure but offense? That person had to be rage baiting
He’s on a generational run
Generational runs for Luka happens a couple times a year
This was Luka all of 2023-2024 yet he finished 3rd in MVP
MVP and its not close enough
Hey…he still has 24 spots to go
MVP idgaf
Does this sub like Luka again now?
Loved the benches reaction to him getting fouled for the chance to get 60, and I like to think Luka got a liiittle nervous after missing the first one 😆
Had the whole team cheerleading behind him. Peak vibes lately
Good enough for 3rd team All-NBA!
Poor mavs fans
100 points in two games less than 24hours 😅
And with that, he’s called down to 16th in the mvp ladder.
PRAVI MVP
ETHICAL!
Sure he’s the funnest offensive force to watch in the league, but Zach Lowe and the Ringer boys said he complains to the refs too much to enjoy so just drop him to 8th in the mvp ladder
THE DONNN
That Kobe game was a decade ago? WTF
Luka to Reaves after that 60 piece “BEAT THAT!”
really good game, but he’s no bam adebayo
Laker basketball is fun again
I’d trust Luka to hit a 100% contested 35 footer more than him hitting his free throws
Ethical 60.
They need to leave this man alone.
Perkins still thinks Mavs won the trade
He told Bam I would have scored 90 on Washington 😆😆😀😆
oh shiiiiiit….solid performance from the FT line as well…
What is in the NBA air tn????
Nico Harrison needs to be sent straight to the deepest depths of hell
I still don’t understand how the trade went through nba office. Is like ok I accept- let’s give Dallas 1st pick out of pity bwahahahhaa
People keep calling it the “Luka Trade”
That wasn’t even a real trade. They just wanted to give Luka to the Lakers cause Bron is in his final moments and the almighty Lakers can’t be without a star. That’s pretty obvious
Marcus smart has been so good for this team such a steal on that contract and people really thought he was washed
Before the streak, it was people posting just Luka lowlights here. What happened to those idiots?
What a bum. Can’t even get it to 61pts. He’s no Bam!!
Man, he’s been on an absolute heater lately
Thank you Mavs
Some are saying he did it for Nipsey
Nico Harrison is a terrorist.
I like to think that first missed FT was intentional 😂
Imagine if Luka had gotten 25 more FTs and shot the ball 20 times in the 4th. Wonder how many points he would have ended up with.
Okay so maybe it’s a two-person race after all, I can’t even hate
Luka 60 is more impressive than Bams 80.
Clears Bams performance
Not first team by the way
It would be hilarious if Luka gets the mvp last second because of this run man. He deserves it for sure.
kobe looking up and crying
Nico rolling over in his grave
Went to Bam’s house to show him what a real high scoring game looks like.
Already a Laker Legend!!
That boy Don miss
It’s tragic ppl will bring up him not having an mvp after this season. He’s so fucking good
Luka fucking Doncic for MVP!!
NICOOOOOOO
primal scream into pillow before bed
Bam not impressed
Was it an ethical 60?
All jokes aside, made it look crazy easy. Couldn’t believe when I saw he had 50 when he did. Thought he was at 30
Funny I just realized April 13th 2026 is my sober date because I watched that game on the very first day I went to detox. I remember watching his last game that day
This dude is literally Thanos on the court.
Man how do Mavs fans continue life
How much AD got tonight
The vibes in LA are at an all time high. I still can’t believe Luka is a Laker.
Did it with a free throw, doesn’t count
this will actually lower his ranking in the mvp ladder believe it or not
Bros been visiting Pogs Dr.
Most impressive individual game I’ve seen all season in the league, specially in Miami. 😈
Never get tired of Luka free throw highlights…
Doncic should have never left Dallas. He meant more to Mavs fans than he ever will to Lakers fans. City is hurting and not sure it will recover.
Not chasing numbers huh?
His smile is genuinely contagious.
Kyrie did it better.
