Luka Doncic pulls off dazzling trickshot

Luka Doncic is known for putting up shows in the city of Dallas. The ‘Luka Magic’ show was back in town as the Dallas Mavericks took on the Chicago Bulls at the American Airlines Center. The Mavericks handed a heavy loss to the Bulls with a 99-119 victory.

However, the highlight of the game was the theatrical display of skills and ball control put up by the Slovenian Star. Luka Doncic dazzled his way to 35 points against the Bulls, along with 7 rebounds, 13 assists and 4 steals.

Doncic put up a complete statline, dominating the Bulls in his path. However, Doncic’s most impressive highlight may seem like just a layup in the statistics. During the game, Doncic put Bulls defender Patrick Williams on skates before hitting him with a pump fake into a trickshot.

Patrick Williams and Bulls defenders couldn’t help but stare in dismay at Luka Doncic’s ridiculous shot. Doncic hit the brakes on Williams and casually flicked up a shot from five feet outside the ring. The move seemed reminiscent of standstill moves that old-school hoopers would pull during pickup games. But to pull off a move that disrespectful in an NBA game is reserved for only the gutsiest trash-talkers.

Fans left speechless after Luka Doncic’s ‘magic’

Luka Doncic reminded everyone why he is fondly nicknamed Luka ‘Magic’ with his trickshot. The casual flip into a bucket had fans on the internet rolling.

Many fans pointed out Doncic’s ball-handling wizardry, which allowed him to fake out a slew of Bulls defenders. However, most fans couldn’t believe Doncic’s audacity to pull off an ‘old man’ move in an actual NBA game. Here are some of the top reactions.

Luka Doncic’s move left fans stunned. Some fans speculated that Doncic deliberately avoided the contact and opted for the soft finish to preserve his body. Doncic was notably banged up during the playoffs last season. After a long and grueling regular season, Doncic often runs out of gas in the playoffs due to his immense offensive workload.

However, through these subtle changes in his game, Luka Doncic might be working well on preserving his body. The Slovenian star has notably been in better shape this season compared to his early-season woes in previous years. With the added help of Klay Thompson and superstar teammate Kyrie Irving, Doncic will look to manage his in-game workload to remain at his best in the playoffs.
