Luka Doncic may be down two games in the Western Conference Finals but he has balled out in these playoffs. In fact, he has torched everyone he has faced in these playoffs and has joined some elite company. He became only the third player to reach 800 points in his first 25 playoff games, joining Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan. However, more than Luka’s amazing run, fans are mesmerised by what Michael Jordan was able to achieve.

Luka in his most recent outing had 42 points on 12 of 23 shooting and 5-10 from the three-point range. What’s the most amazing part of this, is that he doesn’t take a lot of bad shots. No matter who is defending him in the playoffs, Luka always plays at his own pace. Let it be Kawhi Leonard, Mikal Bridges, Paul George or Draymond Green, he doesn’t change the way he plays. And he is an outstanding passer and if you double him, he will always make the right pass at the right time.

But the Warriors are different from the Jazz and the Suns in one aspect – they have been champions before and they have a superior playoff experience.
