Looking on a happy Dončić is almost as dopamine inducing as looking at a dog doing the tippy taps or zoomies.

That's his right shoulder. And it's probably cupping therapy. Lots of elite athletes do it. I remember last Olympics you'd see the swimmers with those marks all over their bodies.

I mean I would do the same thing when I somehow get 3 points out of a foul.

XO_WHORE_Llif3 t1_j1zfsf3 wrote
The Mavs were down by 2 with 2 seconds left and he had a free throw, which is only worth 1. So he missed it on purpose and got his own rebound to score a 2 pointer and force OT. This is tried fairly often and almost never works.
Try2RememberPassword t1_j1zfzyz wrote
He intentionally missed a free throw in the last few seconds of a game to avoid turning over the ball and then the ball got back to him and he somehow got a bucket to tie the game with one second left, taking the game onto overtime. It was a huge 4D chess move that paid off.
Kng_Wasabi t1_j1zg17f wrote
He just had a monster game, like top 5 of all time. I think this moment was after he managed to tie the game to send it to overtime, which he then won.
He’s a young guy who has the energy of a kid who just loves to play ball, which is where the golden retriever comparison comes from.

Same? to do that thing you always thought about in a game and have it be that significant would send me into the tappytaps too.

lol you should look up the highlights, the last shot is a miracle in how many things had to go their way. He also single handedly scored 9 points in the last 40 seconds which is almost impossible in todays nba.
Scottywin t1_j1zkknq wrote
It's not exactly a huge 4d chess move play.
It is the standard and only winning play if the foul shot can't tie the game but a a regular bucket can.

yg2522 t1_j2032r9 wrote
it may not be a 4d chess move, but the fact that it even worked is what makes it incredable since the other team is suppose to have the positional advantage when foul shots are missed. if i remember correctly, in this instance 3 of the knicks actually tipped the ball before luka got it.

I think that's what he's trying to do but is too thrilled to do. His brain is shouting "get back on D!" and "OMFG did that just happen?!" at the same time and this is the result.
decolored t1_j20o3r3 wrote
Luca Doncic tied up the game on a free throw attempt by intentionally missing the shot, allowing it to bounce off the back rim and be received again. He then shot the ball again so that it was worth +2 instead of the standard +1 free throw. It was an exceptional moment because they had to tie up the game in about 30 seconds while down 9 AND they managed to win the OT

The guy also admitted later that instead of to tie the game, he thought he won it. So he was doing his cute lil dance my himself while the rest of his team went to play defense. (There was only 1 second left and he quickly got back on defense too, but this lil moment of joy is so fucking pure and cute how could you ever say something negative)
Fat_IRL t1_j220t6h wrote
I read that he momentarily thought he won the game cause he got caught up in the excitement.

If that's the case, then what if he deliberately missed the game-tying free throw for a chance to outright win the game instead?
How fucking wild would that be if true
Fat_IRL t1_j22p6pr wrote
Yeah, I get it but I doubt that tho, he's smarter than that so I think he just had a lil brain fart when he made the basket. Ya know
But really I see him celebrating and I'm like awwww my lil nephew just scored a goal in soccer and I wanna hug his lil self and Luka (the player) is only 23 .. but then he's like 6 7, over 2 meters tall. Whoa buddy.
Like hugging a mastiff. "You're now in control of this hug please don't hurt me". I'm a very large man, it's rare I see anyone my height let alone my general width, but NBA players are laaarge dudes.

Can't tell if kidding but he did deliberately miss the free throw, for the chance to tie it. Free throw is worth 1 point and they were down 2
