Luka Doncic is making his mark in monumental fashion in the NBA. In his last 15 games, the talented
Dallas Mavericks player has made it clear that he is truly in the conversation for
NBA MVP this year, regardless of whether it ends up going to Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander or Nikola Jokic;
The numbers speak for themselves: Doncic has averaged a staggering 36.7 points, 10 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game during this period. But what's really impressive is the efficiency with which he's done it: an impressive 52% shooting from the field, an outstanding 40% from three-point range and a solid 79% from the free throw line.
These stats are not only impressive on their own, but they also place Doncic in an exclusive and select category. In fact, he is the first player to average more than 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a fifteen-game streak in the last 63 years. To find a similar achievement, we have to go all the way back to 1961, when the legendary Oscar Robertson accomplished a similar feat.
This achievement for Doncic not only highlights his exceptional ability on the court, but also highlights his ability to take his game to the next level when it counts the most. His dominance in both scoring and playmaking makes him a truly complete player, capable of impacting all aspects of the game and leading his team to victory night in and night out.
