Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Extension Machine

Not bad for a guy coming off of injury lol

 

If he scores less than 40 at any point trade this fat bum

 

NBA all Star recorded 44 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in an NBA Cup game at Memphis (117:112).

Doncic repeated the achievement of Wilt Chamberlain, starting the season with three consecutive games with 40 or more points scored. The famous center did this twice in his career.

The Slovenian also became the first player Lakers since Kobe Bryant in 2007 to average 45 points in the first three games of the new championship.

 

Never thought I would say this but I completely agree with one of our biggest haters in the media.

 

yeah, as i suggested elsewhere, i'm hoping the my-turn/your-turn pick and roll/iso stuff is just prelude/stage-setting.

 

This Luka guy is pretty good.




Future in media?

 

Then there's these two...

 

Way to go chubby Balkan
Dončić’s 165 points on the year is the most in franchise history in a player’s first four games. The previous best was Jerry West, who had 154 points (38.5 per game) in the 1969-70 season, followed by Kobe Bryant’s 146 points in the first four games of the 2005-06 season. Fourth on that list? None other than Dončić’s teammate, Austin Reaves, who had 143 points in his first four games this year.

Through four games, Dončić is averaging a staggering 41.3 points per game along with 11.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists. He’s playing at an MVP level out the gate for L.A., and setting some records in the process.

During his last full season with the Mavericks in 2023-24, Dončić averaged 33.9 points per game, and it certainly seems like he could best that mark this year, even when LeBron James returns from his injury.
