My first impression was that Luka “Lukadris” Doncic maybe did just a little bit of statpadding at the end of this game when the outcome (a Mavs loss) was already determined. Maybe I sorta think that, but the Mavs had closed the gap to the point where three Doncic triples in a row would have…

Luka Doncic 31 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
We are honestly way, way, WAY past the point of Luka Doncic being too good for my channel. That point was passed a long time ago. However, since he was not actually named an All-Star (except the All-Star of all of our hearts), my self-imposed rules say that I can’t remove him from my channel…

I was promised lobs from Luka Doncic to Dirk Nowitzki. Am the only one who remembers Doncic’s first interview after he got drafted where he said “Me and Dirk, it’s going to be Lob City”? I can’t find the clip of him saying it on YouTube, but that’s probably because his crack team of media…

I was all set to write the next installment in my long-running (okay, not-so-long running) Luka Doncic Taco Bell saga for this video description. But my enthusiasm for the project has taken a serious hit tonight. Not because I like Luka Doncic any less than I did before, but for other, gastronomical reasons. Basically, I…

Luka Doncic is a Euro rookie, so maybe he gets a little bit of a pass on this one, but someone needs to tell him and I’ll be the one to do it: Luka, you smile WAY too much on the court. This is the NBA. We take this seriously. The game is meant to…

Luka Doncic has taken the next step in his evolution as a basketball player. Most players, they never take this step, and if they do, it takes them several years of NBA experience before taking it. The step I’m talking about is the “put up good numbers while having a not-so-good game” step. This is…

“Hey Dave.” Dave, one of the Dallas Mavericks’ lead nutritionists and the formulator of all the players’ individualized meal plans, looked up from his computer to see Luka Doncic standing in front of his desk. “Hey Luka. It’s cool that a star like you can lower yourself to associate with us commoners,” he joked. “I…

It did cross my mind that I needed to punish Luka Doncic for going 5-of-20 from the field in this game. Not only did it cross my mind, but it stayed on my mind, and I dwelled on it for some time. I even withdrew into my little-used “highlights hermitage”, which is located high up…

Luka Doncic paced impatiently in the hallway in front of the locker room door. The team bus was going to leave for the airport soon, but his food delivery from GrubHub hadn’t arrived yet. After checking the time on his phone for the tenth time in the past five minutes, he glanced up and saw…

The mood in the locker room was subdued after the loss. Even though his teammates had been telling him that he had played a good game, Luka Doncic wasn’t convinced that the loss wasn’t somehow his fault. Trying to think of something that would lift his spirits, Luka’s mind landed on his trip to Taco…
