The ball managed to not touch the rim or even the net, and Luka managed to rush under the ball and control it with his leg. Doncic continued to juggle the balls alternating on his legs for a few seconds. Controlling the ball coming from the half-court line without touching the floor is something very impressive and which Luka did it easily.
