Luka Doncic put together a historic Christmas performance in the Mavs' win over the Suns

On Christmas night, Luka Doncic, the Dallas Mavericks superstar, added his name to a pair of lists that feature some of the game's biggest legends. Doncic entered Monday's game only 11 points away from achieving 10,000 points for his career. In the first quarter, he hit this significant milestone in the fewest games of any player since Michael Jordan. Doncic finished the game with a 50-point performance, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to do so in a Christmas Day game. This led the Mavericks to a 128-114 win.

What’s crazy is the Luka Hockey assists which goes unnoticed. He generates 80% of their offensive and he creates all of his own shots

[@camt1823]

Exum is shooting 43% from three in 26 played games this season.

[@JanakyaBoku]

learned that shit in euroleague

[@lightmikemu]

IKR and he shot over 40% the last two seasons in Europe before coming to the NBA.

[@5wisher5weet]

Best player from Melbourne, Australia right now. (Ky, Giddey, Simmons)

[@5wisher5weet]

​@@lightmikemueuro 3 point line though btw

[@jeremys410]

Exum doubters about to have a rude awakening. He’s proven at this point he can be a starting player.

[@superstar_h_gamer5211]

Lukas usage was the lowest it's been since his rookie season too btw before Kyrie got hurt He was still averaging 30 I want the record to show that

[@TheSodaShop]

That's absolutely insane to think about

[@imdbtruth]

Luka also had 7 Stocks in the game, Michael Jordan only had 2 games in his career with at least 50 Points and 7 Stocks, and in those two games Jordan only had a combined total of 6 Assists. Doncic now has 2 games in his career with at least 50 Points and at least 5 Stocks. Kobe never had more than 5 Stocks in a 50 point game, and he only had 5 once, he also had 4 Stocks once. LeBron has never had more than 5 Stocks in a 50 Point game, *and just like Luka he's done it twice in his career.* *LUKA IS GENERATIONAL* 🌠

[@neutral_narr]

What's stocks?

[@mjhopgoodswe]

​@@neutral_narr Steals and blocks?

[@imdbtruth]

@@mjhopgoodswe Yes. Steals and Blocks combined.

[@imdbtruth]

On Christmas, Luka joined Anthony Davis as the only two players in NBA history to have a game where they recorded at least *4 Steals and at least 3 Blocks* while scoring at least 50 Points! And in the same game Luka also joined Harden being the only two players to score at least 50 Points while having at least 15 Assists in the game. And it was only the 13th game in NBA history where a player has scored at least 50 Points while having at least 7 Stocks (Steals and Blocks combined = Stocks).

[@imdbtruth]

I must correct something I said though... Jordan actually had at least 50 points and at least 7 Stocks a record 4× in his career. Not twice like I originally said. The GOAT (MJ) also holds the record for most Stocks in a game while scoring at least 50 Points with 11 Stocks, when he recorded 52 Points / 9 Steals / 2 Blocks / 3 Rebounds / 2 Assists in a 1988 game against Bird and the Celtics.

[@JATARO9]

When i see Luka playing im like "im watching one of the best players ever" every night, always the same vibe, hes diffrent.

[@joshuaharmening7750]

You can tell it is unique greatness when it looks effortless. I often think, "Why doesn't everyone just do that?" As a life-long hoops fan, it is astounding to see.

[@RoyGBiv-mb8xt]

In the last 10 games, Dante Exum has averaged 31.3 minutes, he’s 52.8% from 3, shooting 3.6 3’s per game, averaging 15.6 points, 4.2 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. He’s also shooting 43.4% from 3 for the season. It’s pretty annoying that I know that and Tim Legler seems to be completely unaware of those facts. If I were in his shoes, I would never be without current statistics on players I talk about. He’s not wrong about Exum’s career 31.7% 3-point shooting, but those numbers are irrelevant right now. Since he came back from Europe, he’s been an extremely reliable 3-point shooter.

[@gregmayes5788]

Lively and Jones need high praise

[@steviechampagne]

Derek Lively, 26 GAMES into his nba career, is already the 2nd best Mavs center of all time. I do not have enough words of praise for this kid. He is 19!!!!!!

[@prestoCreams]

The great thing about our boy lively, he doesn't back down on anyone bro, if Luka throws him a lob he'll dunk no matter who's in front. That alone would tell he'll be a great player, regardless he's being labelled as a traditional center. Our boy is 19 and he still can work on his threes and moves

[@steviechampagne]

@@prestoCreams he’s fearlessly athletic while also being incredibly smart with high BBIQ. It’s a dream come true. Him and Luka will win a ring together

[@BRP-Yamamoto]

remember that Luka,Dinwiddie and Brunson.. 3 guards, and they reached the conference finals vs warriors..

[@theSUBVERSIVE]

And Brunson wasn't playing at the level he is today

[@dannysmuzic1807]

Dante Exum a 6 ft 6 point guard, who is a defensive minded player first. Note on the first play of the game against Phoenix, Dante held Booker full court and pretty much locked him down the whole game. Which is probably why his points were lower than usual.

[@djkido316]

Dante is great but booker always chokes against his father.

[@djkido316]

Dante is great but booker always chokes against his father.

[@CoachTC23]

If he had an actual NBA roster the last 5 years they’d have won multiple chips. Last year especially after the trade was insane. The worst roster in the league. Exum taking those shots instead of Bullock throwing bricks last year is a huge difference. Just get him serviceable NBA players and they’ll win a chip. He doesn’t need a superstar loaded roster like Tatum and other guys. Damn we can’t even imagine the greatness we’d be seeing if he had been on the Celtics great young squad these last 5yrs 😳 he’d have won at least once maybe more on Atlanta as well if they didn’t trade him. Wild.

[@prestoCreams]

Yup bro, that's how great he is

[@TheRobins1m]

Yeah implying Exum is only better because Luka is giving him wide open looks is a bit rough. Luka is giving EVERYONE wide open looks. Or everyone has seen a massive increase in 3 point percentage like Exum. Eg Grant Williams. Exum is also playing really well in other ways. I’ve heard about the amount of overtime work Exum is putting in. He’s earned this.

[@CrustyRusty366]

It was 92 point

[@allen8847]

Nobody notice that Luka reworked his shooting form???

[@matthewcordero43]

He played fn defense!!!

[@jasondye9565]

Luka is mvp, and it’s not close. No kyrie and 5 others? Really doesn’t matter guys a winner and close if not best player in the league, more pressure better he does

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

Good show…

[@juju-vl7oj]

I believe Luka is the greatest 1man offense ever. He’s dominant with the ball from 3pt line, mid range, post and at the rim with the ability to draw fouls and he can create a wide open dunk or jump shot for teammates at all of those spots on the floor as well. Harden and Lebron are the other 2 greatest 1 man offenses at their peak but Lebrons flaw was his jump shot and Harden couldn’t do it at the same level vs the best defenders and team defenses game planning to stop him in the playoffs. But I would still say 1. Jokic 2. Giannis 3. Luka Because Jokic can impact offense more without the ball and isn’t reliant on a stagnant your turn my turn offense so he’s easier to play with And Giannis is significantly better on defense. Not that Luka is terrible but in the playoffs teams game plan more to expose the weakest defender so I still question Luka’s ability to hold up if isolated and attacked. But this years Luka over Steph Kawhi ,Embiid, Tatum, SGA, AD, KD, Jimmy Butler , Booker or anyone else all time and now except peak LeBron

[@fisheye375]

Let’s look what the management will do next year. It was good with Dennis smith jr. They traded him. It was cool with Spencer..they traded him. I won’t be surprised if they trade Jones jr. Just bad choices over bad choices. When you got something. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Just tweak it.

[@jackastor5265]

Tim has never seen someone freeze the defense with their eyes better than Luka? I think he needs to refresh his memory and watch another Magic, the original Magic, Johnson.

[@superm1ification]

Lets be real luca aint winning the chip...all this is regular season shit lol

[@Musso8771]

Ya but neither could anybody with a team like this. Luka can do more with less than everyone except Jokic. No great player has won with a roster like this, its practically impossible in the pros.

[@superm1ification]

@@Musso8771 regular season big guy. That ain't working in POS

[@Calaman228]

Luka will get rings if he joins Jokic

[@IanOBrien-g7u]

Or Joker joins Luka in Dallas

[@RSZtube]

Or Luka beats Jokic in finals...

[@omaracosta100]

Exum is it going to space out well🫨. what games has he been watching

[@blicleak1101]

Luka is destined for top 10 all time

[@Goxilla]

If he wins a chip down the line that´s def. a serious take in 5-10 years

[@jasondye9565]

Agree

[@dscott_]

He is already the most dominant point guard in nba history. You could say he’s revolutionized the position but he’s currently an unmatched singularity

[@profilejohan]

He's already top 10 skills wise lol

[@-hunt-6225]

If he wins ONLY 1 chip he’s gonna be probably 10 all time but I think he’ll have 3-4. Dude is only 24 and doing wild ass shit on the court that no one else can do.

[@jomsa.8041]

Luka said during the post game interview, “No one asked me about my defense, but that’s ok”. LOL! 😂 It is because of Luka that I subscribed for NBA League Pass. It’s all worth it. 😉

[@bakedizzle24]

legs mustve not seen exum’s shoot the past month lol

[@kennethward4985]

Jones Jr is now a starter, replacing the hapless Grant Williams. Now for the first time, Luka has 2 big men who crash the boards and can score 20 points a piece. I love seeing "super teams" fail, where will Kevin Durant run to next? LOL

[@steviechampagne]

KD wants to join the Mavs😂😂

[@SojiRo23]

Luka needs rings.

[@blicleak1101]

Hell get them fosho.

[@oj6787]

Luka needs a better team first. He’s the best player I’ve ever seen and Lebron is my favorite player

[@gabriel-uc1uz]

Agreed this is what he will need to stop the Harden comps.

[@cryptidian3530]

@@gabriel-uc1uz Nobody is comparing him to Harden though. And he's better than Harden ever was. xD

[@Joe_Ma99]

He’s 24. Relax lol

[@frankmaitland1254]

Grant Williams is free now to play the same role he played in Boston

[@Dzad00]

I don’t get how Legs can say the lineup will have no 3pt shooting. Jones Jr is shooting just under 37% which is solid, Luka and Kyrie are both over 38%, and Exum (who he named as the non-shooter) has the best avg on the team (over 43%)! 🤷‍♂️

[@-hunt-6225]

HE GENERATED 92 POINTS!!!! Damn yall are clueless!

[@brandonperez2267]

The final number was 94 points of offense created by Luka.

[@Patriciawhalen]

Kyrie has done it in Cleveland and he can repeat the same in Dallas along with Luka and the new look mavs!!! 💪😤

[@Kintsugi.tv1]

Without Luka Mavs are just bench players.
