Luka Doncic may have the potential to turn into the greatest player the NBA has ever laid its eyes on. And it’s something that perhaps fans need to acknowledge more often than they do already. It’s only what the Slovenian superstar deserves.

Don’t let the Warriors’ record fool you. After a rough, rough start to the season, Stephen Curry and co. have finally started to put it together.
In fact, if their loss tonight is to be included, they have still won 6 of their last 10 games.
But Luka Doncic wanted revenge. And that is exactly what he got.

To add to all those stats, he also shot an astounding 44.5% from beyond the arc. Not bad at all for someone who had been shooting terribly from deep up to this point.
There aren’t words to describe a performance such as this one. But Jason Kidd was asked to try anyway.
And his response will probably go down in history as the greatest of all time.
Jason Kidd has become bored of Luka Doncic’s 40-point triple-doubles
Luka Doncic has scored 40 points or more in 20 games, matching Dirk Nowitzki’s career record.
Dirk did this across 21 years in the NBA, retiring at the age of 40.
Luka Doncic is 23 years old and has spent just 4 years in the NBA. And to add to that, every performance has either been a triple-double or nearly been one.
With that much context behind it, Luka Doncic’s performance tonight was one of the best in NBA history.
And when Jason Kidd was asked to react to it, here is all he could say on the matter.

Admittedly, we can’t lie.
Incredibly efficient 40-point triple-doubles are boring. When is Luka going to start doing it with 50 pieces instead?
How did the NBA community react to this performance?
While Jason Kidd may be a bit tired of seeing these showings from Luka Doncic, it appears that the NBA community still hasn’t.
Here are just some of the craziest reactions from the community at large below.
Luka > curry. Currys teams better. Mavs are a -19 with Luka off court and a +21 with him on. Mavs blew a huge lead first Quarter when Luka sat lol

At this rate, the Mavericks star may end up stealing Stephen Curry’s crown as the best show in basketball.
