By this time, it’s no surprise that Luka Doncic will be the future face of the league. At only 22 years of age, the Slovenian prodigy is playing as good as some of the established superstars of the league, giving them a run for their money for the prestigious MVP honors.
In only his first 4 years in the American league, Doncic has accomplished several impressive feats that many stars can’t achieve in their entire careers. The numbers Luka puts up on a daily basis are jaw-dropping and feel almost unreal.
One of the things the 3-time All-Star has managed to master is the art of recording the triple-double. The 6-foot-7 guard has already recorded 43 career triple-doubles, putting him 10th on the all-time list. An absurd stat even showed, how Doncic has more such performances than many NBA franchises.
