Tag: Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic is now the second-youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. He is 10 days older at the time of the triple-double than Markelle Fultz was. Now, I’m just saying, if Thon Maker can pretend to be like three or four full years younger than he actually is, it shouldn’t be too…

This game marks a very important milestone for Luka “Lukadris” Doncic. No, not that he became the first rookie since Steph Curry to score 25 points in five consecutive games, although that is a fun and cool stat (one could even call it a “fun fact”). No, the real milestone is that Doncic had a…

I watched much of this game live, which is a change of pace for me, given that I form most of my opinions on NBA basketball by looking at box-scores and making up stuff that sounds good in my head. When Luka “Lukadris” Doncic had that behind-the-back dribble to Dwight Powell for the alley-oop dunk,…

Everybody keeps making the comparison between Luka “Lukadris” Doncic and James Harden, and for obvious reasons. Both of them just shoot a lot of free throws. Free throws are an integral part of their respective scoring games. While other players may shoot free throws incidentally, these two guys have made a habit of it. But…

Normally, when a player has only two assists, I don’t bother to show them in a highlight video. I don’t even bother to look at them. It’s just not worth my time for most players. Luka “Lukadris” Doncic is not “most players”. He is the Slovenian rookie phenom who is guaranteed to be ROTY of…

I don’t see how it’s fair to other rookies that Luka Doncic gets to win ROY of the Year even though he already won a frickin’ MVP award in the second best basketball league in the world. Shouldn’t that, like, disqualify him from being a rookie? The word “rookie” implies a sort of rawness, or…

I like to pretend that I’m above drama in the NBA, that I only pay attention to the actual on-court product and the associated statisticals, that the personalities and the clashes thereof interest me not at all, but I’ll admit, the idea of everyone (or just a few players) on the Mavericks being super resentful…

In a fair and just world, I would’ve been allowed to put “/1 Game-Winner” in the title of this video. In such a world, a converted deep-corner three off an out-of-bounds play with .6 seconds left in the game would automatically win the game for the team that hit it. Luka Doncic and the Mavericks…
