Luka Doncic has quickly become one of the faces of the NBA. The Slovenian star has regularly pulled out the impossible and keeps defying the odds. After a playoff run for the ages, Doncic went on his national duty. And he is no different from a beast with them as well. While balling out for Slovenia, he pulled out his best Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and hit a sky hook. Likewise, fans were in absolute shock by the 23-year-old’s unreal display.

With just a couple of years in this league under his belt, Doncic has ascended to the throne as one of the best players. The Dallas Mavericks superstar can score on all three levels. In addition, he is one of the few guards who dominate the boards. An all-around basketball player, Doncic has become the leader for the Mavericks. And the same goes for his role with the Slovenian national team.

In their recent face-off against Sweden, Doncic once again put the nation on his back. And he did it in style.
