Luka Doncic created a whirlwind in the NBA world. The Dallas Mavericks star guard dropped 73 points, the season-high score beating Joel Embiid. Following the game, praises flooded in for the star. And some of them were from the greats of the game. Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson, who has been active on social media commenting on the sport, didn’t fail to speak about the Slovenian star.

Moreover, he was also left awestruck with the current season’s offensive dominance. Days after Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns lit the hardwood on fire, Doncic took charge. Magic took to his X handle and said, “What’s going on in the NBA?! The league is on fire with another dominate performance. This time, Luke Doncic! 73 points, wow!” 

The Lakers legend never misses a beat in the NBA world. He regularly put out his views on the affairs of the game. Notably, after Embiid’s masterful 70 points and Towns’ brilliance on January 22, he put out a long post, praising the duo individually.
