If they lose to the LA Clippers in Game 6, the Mavs will be exiting the bubble and bidding goodbye to the 2020 playoffs. Hence, to pump up the excitement levels of his teammates, Luka Doncic played DJ during a recent practice session.

The Mavs were totally dominated by Kawhi and the team in Game 5, and succumbed to a 43-point defeat. This would have not gone down well with Luka Doncic, who has been sensational in his first-ever playoff series. 

During the Mavs’ practice, Luka turned on the volume in the speakers and took control of DJ duties. The 21-year-old is seen spinning the vibes in practice by playing ‘China,’ by Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Ozuna & J Balvin.

Luka Doncic: A Maverick to watch out for

When Luka Doncic stepped into the NBA in 2018, he already had plenty of professional basketball experience under his belt. Obviously no one was going to downplay a Euroleague champion, who had also won the MVP award at just 19.

However, Luka has been exceeding expectations till now. The 21-year-old has a flair for registering triple-doubles, which is a quality skill to possess. Moreover, he keeps breaking records with ease, and we are not sure if the league is ready for a player like him yet.

 Moreover, Luka is only playing in his first NBA playoff series, ever. But, he’s already evolved into a tremendous athlete that you can’t expect him to fail or get the nerves on the big stage.
