Luka Doncic, Whose Rookie Card Sold $400,000 Higher Than Michael Jordan’s, Joins Oscar Robertson on “This Elusive List”

Luka Doncic’s legend continues to grow, his rookie card just sold for a record $3.12 million just last today, and tonight, he put up an impressive and rather easy 30-point triple-double. The 50th of his career and he is the second fastest to reach this mark, only trailing the legendary Oscar Robertson.

It can be easy to forget Luka Doncic is just 23. The way he goes about dominating the game is simply too good to watch. You can get lost in his artistry and in doing so, you forget his age. His mastery of the game and his deft touch on the ball makes his youth fade.

That is until you look at the records he keeps shattering. And once you learn that he hasn’t even reached 25, you start to wonder what his limits are.

The Slovenian Phenom does things at an incredible pace. He has already notched up 3 all-NBA first-team selections, in his four seasons. This year, he looks set to add much-needed silverware, the MVP trophy.

He is also the second fastest to do so. It took him 278 games, and he trails only Oscar Robertson (111) on this elusive list. He also beat Magic Johnson to it, he did it just one game faster.

Is this a sign of Luka’s legend growing? Will he eclipse NBA greats? Before he does all that, he needs some hardware in his cabinet, and by the looks of things, it will happen quite soon.
