“Luka Doncic really had a historic month of February”: The Mavs MVP becomes the only player to average 30/10/8 on 40 3P% in a month since the three-point era

Luka Doncic put up 34.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 8.8 assists on 41.2 3P% in February making him the only player to average those numbers in a month since 1980.

The Dallas Mavericks are having a .603 winning record this season. With an impressive 38-25 record, Jason Kidd’s boys are placed 5^th in the West and are merely 2 games behind the 4^th seeded Utah Jazz team. Like the past few seasons, this year too, Luka Doncic has been doing a remarkable job in leading this pack.

Averaging 25.6/10.1/9.5 in the month of January, the Slovenian led the Mavs to an 11-4 record. The recently turned 23-year-old elevated his game to a whole different level in the month of February, putting up 34.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 8.8 assists on 41.2 3P% in the 10 games.

Not only did Doncic win the Western Conference Player of the Month honors, but he also became the only player since 1980 to average such stats.

This is MVP Energy. Put some respect on his name. He is paddling the Greats at 25 years old.
