“I’m used to it by now”: Luka Doncic on whether he shocked himself with the dunk
Before sitting out for the entire 4th period, Luka had a terrific dunk late in the 3rd quarter. With a little less than 3 minutes remaining on the clock, the 6-foot-7 guard received the ball on top of the key. He then faked a shot, faked a pass, and ended up dunking the ball all over Drew Eubanks.
Have a look at the phenomenal play.
After the game, Doncic was asked whether or not he shocked himself with the dunk. Doncic’s cocky reply:
“No, I’m used to it by now [laughter]. I probably have the most bounce on the team. You know, [Christian Wood], I was telling him he is only length, and he’s got no bounce. So I had to show him.”
“That was big time”: Jason Kidd on Doncic’s dunk
As soon as Luka’s play went viral, social media flooded with several reactions.
The Texas-based franchise’s coach Jason Kidd was also impressed by what the European had to offer. In the postgame interview, Kidd spoke about the 23-year-old’s jaw-dropping dunk.
“It was pretty impressive. He can get off the ground. It’s impressive, the load that he carries and the things that he can do and he can still surprise you with something. That was big time.”
