The Legend Of Luka Doncic Grows: Game 4 Mavericks vs Clippers 2020 NBA Playoffs

In what could easily go down as the most amazing ending to a first round playoff game, Luka Doncic dropped a 43/17/13 triple double with a sprained ankle while the Dallas Mavericks were short handed without Kristaps Porzingis. This series isn’t ending anytime soon, and we’re all better because of it, as Coach Nick breaks down how Luka has written himself into legend.

Everybody is praising Luka, and deservedly so, but Seth Curry, Trey Burke, and Tim Hardaway JR played great for us as well and deserve credit. Edit: Lmao everyone is saying I’m hating on Luka. He’s literally my favourite player and I said he deserved all the credit he got. I’m just saying the rest of the team deserves credit too. Edit 2: Never mind nobody showed up to the court besides Luka for us in Game 6 .

Maxi, by far the one that has the hardest task to stop Kahwi on almost every possession not giving easy shots but Kahwi always does those mid range fadeaways swish almost making Maxi invisible 🤔

The basketball maturity Luka is showing is off the charts. It is already an elite player in all aspects of game. I love the fact that he plays defense also. He might not be the best defender but he is far from a bad one ( at least when he wants to ). I love when players taking defence as seriously as offense even if they are not top notch defenders by default. Says alot about their mentality, the champion mentality previous legends had like MJ, Kobe and the rest. Also for sure has the clutch gene. He isnt afraid to take the shots, he doesnt care to shoot from way further or go all in or you name it. That audacity is so rare for someone who is only a year in the league let alone when you going against the best in the league let alone when you clutch so many games already in better fashion than even Lebron himself. Extraordinary. And what to say about his IQ ? Simply amazing. It takes years in the league for someone to really having triple doubles left and right. He does it and he does it with style. It is really scary what this guy might end up being if he keeps working and keeps getting better. Really scary. He might end up being the best white player in NBA ever let alone one of the best players in NBA period.
