A new chapter unfolded as the maestro of Dallas Mavericks, Luka Dončić, orchestrated a breathtaking symphony on the basketball court. As the basketball world praised the accomplishment, one unexpected admirer stepped forward to pay homage. It was none other than former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Griffin III acknowledged the sheer brilliance of  Dončić as he drew parallels to the iconic night when Kobe Bryant dropped 81. As the young phenom etched his name into the annals of NBA history, Griffin III bowed down to the Slovenian sensation. Coincidentally, Dončić’s feat coincided with Bryant’s and Gigi’s fourth death anniversary. 

In his tweet, Griffin calls attention to Dončić’s 73-point outburst against the Atlanta Hawks that propelled him to the limelight. With this accomplishment, the basketball player secured a career-high as well as a franchise record. On top of that, he touched the record of making the most points scored in the NBA since Kobe Bryant. 

It was back in 2006, that the NBA legendary scored an 81-point game. Impressed by his offensive prowess, Griffin III has been mesmerized and could not resist posting the news on Twitter.

Dončić’s historic feat

Griffin III’s fan moments are a common sight on his Twitter account. A few days back, the NFL player shared a clip in admiration of Dončić, while he was in action on the court with the caption, “Luka Doncic is FLITHY WITH IT”. Dončić’s performance on Friday night was not just a game, it was a historic feat.

In some other news, a few days back, the Cameroonian basketball player, Joel Embiid took a quantum leap. The Philadelphia 76ers’ center managed to score an astonishing 70 points. Embiid who averaged 4.2 assists and 3.4 turnovers last season, has become more versatile and unpredictable on the court. 

However, it has not been long enough since the spotlight has been on Embiid. The Slovenian sensation’s soaring spree has consistently delivered performances that defy his age and experience.  Griffin III’s appreciation of Dončić’s 73-point eruption not only places him in the pantheon of NBA legends but also transcends the boundaries of basketball. 

The unexpected salute from Robert Griffin III brings into light Dončić’s 73-point symphony. The NBA star’s magical performance goes beyond the realm of statistics. Besides, with the historic performance, Dončić touched the hearts of basketball fans on the same day when they were crestfallen at Bryant’s and Gigi’s deaths, four years back.
