In a recent video, Doncic’s talent and skills were on full display as he was seen making mind-blowing shots while relaxing on a bench outside the court. While scoring baskets while sitting is not uncommon, this shot was nothing short of a miracle.

The ball bounced off the court, hit the board, and gracefully rolled in the basket, leaving the fans and spectators impressed. Even more astounding than the shot itself was the divine timing of the assist that made it possible. One of Doncic’s teammates shot the ball at the same time as him. In an amusing but spectacular turn of events, he aided in the success of the shot. The teammate’s ball collided with Doncic’s in midair, pushing it into the hoop.
