| 0:00.0 | This is the athletic NBA show, The Young Ones. We've got the Rizgod Tim Kato, joining in for a special episode because |
| 0:21.8 | Luca Dodgers went absolutely insane the previous evening before we get to that. |
| 0:27.1 | We got Will Gilry. I'm Jared Weiss. Probably say who I am. LaMurray's here. |
| 0:31.2 | Yovonne Buhas here. Tim, you witnessed greatness. How great was it? |
| 0:37.4 | It was quite great. I've witnessed a lot of greatness |
| 0:40.8 | when it comes to Luca Donchich, and this was levels above. Dude had 60, 2010. We're not talking about |
| 0:49.5 | is this Luca's best game ever it is. We're talking about, is this the best game, at least regular |
| 0:55.7 | season game in NBA history? And there's a case to be made that it is. Obviously, I think |
| 1:01.3 | you're going to end up putting 100-point games, you know, 81 from Kobe, stuff like that, |
| 1:05.9 | a little bit above it. But we're talking top five, top 10 performance ever. And I think the circumstances of how it happened |
| 1:13.8 | that the Mavericks won that game in a situation where 13,000 teams had come before, you know, |
| 1:22.6 | with a nine point lead in 33 seconds remaining, all of them had lost. |
| 1:31.0 | They had a nine point deficit, the Mavericks did. |
| 1:32.0 | All of them had lost. |
| 1:38.7 | And because Luca is Luca and he's going to do something, you know, divine and holy and whatever that was last night, the Mavericks win. |
| 1:42.5 | And it's just incredible, man. I'm still trying to process it all. Yeah, this is one of those things where people say, man, you couldn't even do this on 2K if you tried there. I literally think this is when you couldn't do on 2K if you put the game on a rookie. And I think you brought up the moment that when he misses the free throw at the end that regulation gets his rebound. Do you think that'll go down as the most |
| 2:01.7 | memorable moment from this game? What do you kind of look back on last night and say my most memorable |
| 2:05.9 | moments from this game? I think the most memorable moment is Lucas saying that he needs a recovery |
| 2:11.6 | beer on the court seconds afterwards. I think this is going to be the recovery beer game. |
| 2:17.4 | Like you've got the flu game. You've got the flu recovery game. Well, this is going to be the recovery beer game. Like you've got the flu |
| 2:18.1 | game. You've got the flu recovery game. Well, this is the beer recovery game. But yeah, I think |
| 2:23.4 | you're right that the like don't understand like if you, I know everybody has probably seen, |
