Luka Doncic, We Are Watching Greatness": Mark Cuban And The NBA Fraternity Is In Disbelief Over Doncic's Unreal Statline In The OT Win Against The Knicks

Luka Doncic – More like Luka Magic. The boy-turned-man is now the name on everyone’s lips, and he should be. The Slovenian just put up the show of a lifetime, dragging the Dallas Mavericks out of a quagmire. With 26 seconds to go and 9 points down, Doncic reached into the magician’s hat and pulled out a win.

60 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. Those numbers are not from a video game, those are Luka Doncic’s stats from the OT win against the Knicks. It still feels surreal for fans, because everybody is double-checking their phones to read these numbers over and over.

The final 26 seconds were ethereal – Luka closed his eyes during the timeout and brought out his inner Michael Jordan. Every single play was executed to perfection, and the Knicks had no answer. 2 FTs right in the dying seconds, and the man-made one, intentionally missed the other, and swished a 2 to tie the game.

Luka was like a child who just spotted the ice cream van round the corner after that play. The crowd, on their feet. Mark Cuban, is on his phone. The players and the NBA fanbase? In shock and awe. They had just witnessed Luka overturn odds of 0/13,884.

The Dallas Mavericks will have another statue of a European in front of their Arena Soon – Kevin Garnett thinks so

One night after The Mavs unveiled the statue of their stalwart Dirk Nowitzki, Luka goes ahead and showed Mark Cuban why he was right in picking him. To imagine Doncic plying his trade on the Hawks? Not a chance. Number 77 is a Mav, through and through.

Kevin Garnett thinks another statue of the future icon will be erected. And why would they not – he’s doing things no 23-year-old should be. Having played in the Real Madrid team at 16, Doncic should find the NBA almost too easy.

The NBA fraternity is in disbelief over Luka Doncic and his performance

Mark Cuban employed Hall of Fame players like Dirk, Steve Nash, and Jason Kidd, but Luka is his dream signing. Not in a million years would he have thought the Mavs would be creating shockwaves in the social media sphere like Luka has been.

DeMar DeRozan knows what it is like to play in a Texan state team – but the Mavs are something different. He knows that, and it’s all because of a guy who turned up in a full cowboy costume not too long ago.

Kristaps Porzingis played for a while with Luka, and was touted to be the next big duo. Shame it didn’t work out, but their bond as friends remains.

The original pick of the 2018 draft by the Mavs, Trae is watching the man he got traded for put up 60 points. But it’s all good between them. since they’ve shared fun moments in the all-star weekend.

Luka Doncic is a man on a mission – he wants that championship ring. If Cuban can dig into his thinktank a little deeper – maybe he can see a few trades to build a championship roster.
