NBA || The Shocking Wonder Of Luka Doncic, At The Height Of Magic And Robertson

Luka Doncic always hides a better trick in his pocket than the previous one. In the narrow victory over the Washington Wizards (125-124), the Slovenian uncorked a 'triple-double' to remember. Of those that remain recorded in the nourished statistics of the NBA. There were 31 points, 20 assists and 12 rebounds with which he countered Westbrook's superb display (42 points 10 rebounds and nine assists). A train wreck from which the Mavericks were victorious and after which Luka continues to adorn his intense history in the United States.

The last of Doncic's assists, with which he broke his own record in that facet, went to his teammate Dorian Finney-Smith to score a shot from the corner 9.2 seconds from the end that put the 125-124 triumph of the Mavericks.

After this victory, Dallas tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for fifth place in the Western conference. In a spectacular battle against Doncic, Westbrook also came close to achieving an extraordinary triple-double with 42 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.

At 22 years old, Doncic achieved another mark only within the reach of the greatest in the NBA with those 31 points (12 of 23 in field goals), 12 rebounds and 20 assists, the first player in the history of the franchise to achieve it. . Only four players had previously achieved at least 30 points, 20 assists and 10 rebounds in the same game: the legendary Oscar Robertson (1961), Magic Johnson (1988) and Westbrook himself (2021).

Luka Doncic is an extraordinary player, an exceptional player. One of these comes out every 50 years. That is UNDoubtable. That said, getting those numbers in the current NBA is infinitely easier than 30 years ago. The reason: the current NBA is, until the playoffs, an infamous bacalá where it does not even defend the tato. It is embarrassing for others to watch the games, where, at most, they score your shot. The shooters' waterline is two meters away. Question: when was the last time a player was sent off for six fouls? The last Pistons-era clean smack fight? Come on man!!!! If it is embarrassing to see the games !!!!
