Luka Doncic is currently one of the best players in the NBA. The Slovenian has seen a meteoric rise over the past few years and has led the Dallas Mavericks from the front. In just two seasons, Doncic became the Rookie of the Year, an All-Star, and made an All-NBA first team, all while leading the Dallas Mavericks back to the playoffs last year.

Luka Doncic joins an elite group

Luka Doncic put up a stat line in his last game that puts him in an elite company in the NBA. After the game against the Atlanta Hawks, Doncic put up another 25-point, 10-assist game – the 36th of his career.

He is now behind only Trae Young and James Harden. The only other player to have more than 20 games with those statistics is LeBron James.
