WEBVTT - Luka Doncic Makes History Against The Knicks

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 1>You're tuned into Heat Check with Triste Quick on this

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>end of year episode of the Heat Check. It's our

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>special New Year's resolution episode, and I am here to

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:16.440
<v Speaker 1>give my resolutions for a whole bunch of players teams

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>from the Atlanta Hawks and the Brooklyn Nets to Rudy

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Gobert and Grayson Allen.

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we gotta talk about this too.

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>The greatest regular season NBA performance of all time maybe

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>from Luka Doncic, probably the second best, but I'll get

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>into that. Also almost twenty twenty three, Nick, So do

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>me a favor and drop that generic ass beat. So

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two is about to be history. And let's

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>just say it's been a year to forget for a

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. Robert Sarver for one, Kyrie Irving another.

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 2>List is probably pretty long for the people who would

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>rather forget that twenty two existed. But we're not here

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 2>for all that.

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>We're here to do something different, and that is to

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>spread positivity and to spread joy, because that is what

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>is my resolution personally for twenty twenty three. And with

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the new year comes a whole bunch of new opportunities,

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>new opportunities to be better, new opportunities to be nicer,

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>and that is why we'll call this episode and end

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>this episode with our annual NBA New Year's Resolutions, where

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>we peer into the crystal ball and divvy out resolutions

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>for players and teams that could, let's face it, use

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a little positivity right now. But before we get into that,

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>let's go over some of the recent news that's been

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>popping around the league.

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>We have to do it. We have to talk about

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>this Dallas with Luca Doncic. Oh my god, I folks,

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 2>I was at dinner.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you think like it would have made any sense

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>to cancel dinner plans to watch the Dallas Mavericks take

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>on the New York Knicks. Did anybody think that they

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>needed to stop everything in their life for that game?

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>No? I didn't. So I didn't get to see Lucas game.

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a confession. I didn't see it live. I had

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to watch it back after the fact. I had to

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>see it on Twitter trending. My phone's blowing up, and

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm sad. I'm sad about it. I'm

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna live to regret it. I'm gonna know It's one

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>of those where were you moments?

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna know.

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I was at AOC in Los Angeles, California,

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>eating dinner with a friend when Luca dropped sixty plus

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty one and ten.

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 2>There's you got thoughts.

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>You're trying to do some research and you're making that

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.239
<v Speaker 1>all happen, and then you're doing it on the fly,

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.519
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden you look up and someone

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>else has already had the same take. There's probably nothing

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>worse than that, truthfully, to be a take artist, a flamethrower,

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>or an opinionist. You look up, you research, you prep,

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you're right, you're about to talk, and then all of

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, Nick fucking Right, First Things First comes through

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and drops one right down on your head.

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not written Nick right hater.

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually like Nick Wright a lot, but damn I

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>did not see Nick Wright coming.

0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>In and pickpocketing me.

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Like his name is Luka doncic on Luca's take, so

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>what he said was exactly what I wanted to say.

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Sixty twenty one to ten was a top five regular

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 1>season performance in the entire history.

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Of the NBA, not just the last generation.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Since the birth of the NBA, Luca's performance on that

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>night when I was at a random restaurant against the

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>New York Knicks. Was a one of the greatest top

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>five performances ever.

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 3>But I'm going to give you a couple of reasons

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 3>why Luca's game yesterday is the best game any of

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 3>us have ever seen. First of all, the context of it.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>His team's down nine with thirty five seconds left. In

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 3>the last twenty years, thirteen eight hundred and eighty five

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 3>teams have been down nine or more with thirty five

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 3>or less seconds left. You know how many of them won?

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 3>One now it was zero. Now it's one second reason.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 3>He's the only guy in league history that could have

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 3>done that, that could put up that. That's that line.

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 3>It's not just that he's the only guy that has

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>don to sixty twenty ten. He's the only guy that

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Colt so I had.

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Done all the research.

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yes, Nick got that zero for thirteen thousand, eight

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty four stat line from Sam Quinn to

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>and now I have to give Nick as props and say, yup, Luca.

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Luca's performance was one of the best regular season games

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>in nearly twenty years. But before we get deeper into this,

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Welt Chamberlain holds six out of the ten highest scoring

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>games in history and fifteen of the top twenty five,

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.359
<v Speaker 1>and he did this mostly before TV, so he is

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>we have to put Well Chamberlain in a category of himself.

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Someday I'll probably drop a video about this on what

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>everyone gets wrong about his one hundred point game. But

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>not today, folks, I got too much time. I got

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a reservation in about forty five minutes. So today is

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>about Luca to understand why he did what he did

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>was insane. What are the greatest ras ular season game

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>performances in NBA history? Well, number one, Denver's David Thompson

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>put up seventy three, seven and two on the Pistons

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>on April nineteenth, or on April ninth, nineteen seventy eight,

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, on the day of the NBA season. Thompson

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>was once called by Bill Walton the perfect basketball player.

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 1>He was locked in a battle at that point for

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the scoring title with George Gervin, so he needed a

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>huge game, and he went out and scored thirty two

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>points in the first quarter, thirteen to fourteen, shooting six

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 1>or six.

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 2>From the line. The only problem was that it was.

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>The final game ever in Detroit's Cobo Arena, and they

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.159
<v Speaker 1>wanted him to go out a winner, so they legit

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>through the kitchen, sink at him and held him only

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty in the second half the pit.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>This guy could add hundred points.

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 1>The Pistons even managed to pull out a win, and

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Thompson fell just short of the scoring title despite shooting

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>seventy four percent.

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:48.679
<v Speaker 2>From the floor.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Why because George Gervin went off for sixty three on

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the same day. Insane, unreal, just really something.

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 2>For the masses there.

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>On March twenty eight, nineteen ninety, Michael Jordan mj Airness

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>dropped sixty nine nice eighteen and six on the Cavaliers.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>The game's probably the.

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Closest one to Lucas performance because MJ put up eighteen

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 1>rebounds to go with four steals and a block.

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>That's ridiculous.

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>More incredible, he went twenty three for twenty seven from

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the field, and in MJ style, the Bulls ended up

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>really outlasting a good Cavs teams one hundred and seventeen,

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirteen. Probably the greatest regular season performance

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>of all time, that's what people say. At least I

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>was like four. So do did I do? I remember

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>it off the top? No?

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>David Robinson seventy one, fourteen and five on the last

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>day of the nineteen ninety four season. He won the

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.359
<v Speaker 1>scoring title over Shack. In that game, he faced double

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and triple teams all night and he still managed to

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 1>shoot sixty three percent from the field. He scored the

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>first eighteen Spurs points of the game, and uh oh yeah.

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>He ended up winning the scoring title with twenty nine

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 1>point six points per game because Shaq only had thirty

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>two in that game, So that was a sick performance.

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.119
<v Speaker 2>Ridiculous seventy one points.

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Like seventy one points the next day. Very important day.

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Probably one of my favorite. I think this is my

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>personal favorite. January twenty second, two thousand and six. Kobe

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>drops eighty one.

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Uugh, let me say it again. Kobe drops eighty one,

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>six and two in forty two minutes of action. What

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>an absurd stat line.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>He was twenty eight for forty six in the field,

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>perfect Kobe non efficient type performance, including going seven for

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 1>thirteen from three. The craziest thing about this game, though,

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers were trailing by eighteen in the third quarter,

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and from that point on, Kobe put up fifty one

0:07:56.120 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>points and the Lakers absolutely curb stomped the Raptors, beating

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>them by almost twenty. He had fifty five points in

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the second half. That is Kobe, you think you have

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>me and you do not have me.

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Bonkers.

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>So Luca's crazy stat line twenty one freaking rebounds, I

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that is about. And he probably could

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>have twenty assists as well his as we know, he

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a lot of help out there. Spencer did

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>when he hit a couple of huge shots down the stretch.

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>But the fact that Luca put up this number sixty

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty one to ten and.

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 2>They came back, it wasn't just the stat line. Is

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 2>that they came back.

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>And won when they were down nine points with what

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a minute left to go, thirty seconds left to go,

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty five seconds left, ended up setting the game to overtime.

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just that he scored sixty. He had

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>fifty last week. But he scored sixty and had ten assists,

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and he probably could have had twenty one. Well, like

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>all the Maps, couldn't hit an open shot to save

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>their life.

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 2>He was so good in every aspects of the game.

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>He had two steals, he had one block. It was

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:11.319
<v Speaker 2>just disgusting.

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 1>And then the best part about Luca because I love

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>him and he's just so fat and just such a

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>regular guy. You look at him and he's just the

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 1>most unassuming, insane basketball player. Like all those other players.

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.119
<v Speaker 1>You look at them, all those other top five performances

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA. You look at those guys and you go, yeah,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>that's an athlete.

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that guy could put that guy could put seventy

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 2>one on my head. Not Luca. Look, you look at

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Luca and you say, uh, is this guy my task rabbit?

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Is he about to help me move?

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>That's Luca, Like, Luca looks like he does need a

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>recovery beer, because that's what he said, I need a

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>recovery beer. And fortunately for all of us, Lasco Brewery

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>immediately jumped on the Luca train started launching their recovery

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>beer addition. In an IG post, they said, for every

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>tired Luca who needs a beer for regeneration, we have.

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Brewed recovery beer. How do they do that so fast?

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I also need a recovery beer.

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>From watching the highlights, I can't imagine what Luca felt

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>in that game. So those are my top five regular

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>season games of all kind of time. Who am I missing?

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm missing someone, but let me know

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>who
