Players and legends of the American league praise the performance of the Slovenian, who had 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists against the New York Knicks
Luka Doncic is still determined to break all records and enter the Olympus of the NBA gods. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the Slovenian guard played the best game of his career against the New York Knicks, recording an anthological triple-double with 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists. His performance is one of the great individual achievements in the American league, along with Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 points against the Knicks, Kobe Bryant’s 81 against the Toronto Raptors, or Michael Jordan’s 69 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The reactions to the exhibition of the former Real Madrid player were not long in coming. From the players on his team, the Dallas Mavericks, who greeted him with a loud ovation in the locker room and showered him with bottled water, to top-level players and basketball legends who adored his performance. “He’s having fun,” Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young posted to his Twitter account, while Kevin Durant likened it to fiction. “It’s an implementation of my player mode. It looks like a fucking video game,” the Brooklyn Nets commented forward.
One of the most special and telling compliments was that of Kristaps Porziņgis. The Latvian power forward, who shared a dressing room with Doncic for three seasons and admitted communication and adjustment problems between the two, stated: “This guy is not normal.”
Former players such as Pau Gasol and Kendrick Perkins also repeated the feat. “It’s unreal,” said the Spaniard. Likewise, the American emphatically assured: “I’ve played with many Hall of Fame members and I’ve seen great performances of all time, but what I just saw from Luka Doncic was one of the best individual performances I’ve seen. in my goddamn life.”
The Slovenian guard is on track to surpass Dirk Nowitzki, who watched the game from the stands, as the greatest player in Texas franchise history. Legendary Kevin Garnett predicted “a statue in Dallas” and the Mavericks manager didn’t hesitate to claim, “We’re witnessing the greatness of Luka Doncic. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
