Luka Doncic's career in the NBA has been signed with several historic moments. The Wonder Boy began his journey in the league 5 years ago, when he was 19 years old. Since then, he's broken many records and has established himself as an MVP caliber player season after season. On Thursday night, we witnessed another "Luka Magic" moment, after Doncic recorded 73 points to beat the Atlanta Hawks.
In addition, the slovenian player finished very close to a triple-double that would have been colossal: those 73 points came on 25-of-33 shooting from the field (75.8% TC) and 8-of-13 three-pointers (61.5% T3), to top his 10 rebounds and seven assists. He only went to the bench 4 minutes.
The historic game between the Mavs and the Hawks was rebroadcast on U.S. national television, through TNT, and about it Jason Kidd, coach of the Texas franchise, joked that Doncic should talk more with Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley, NBA legends and collaborators of the U.S. network.
"Maybe go see Chuck, Kenny, Shaq, those guys inspired him last night. Maybe we should see them more often," Kidd said. After that win, Dallas Mavericks sits 8th in the Western Conference with a 25-20 record.
