Luka Doncic makes Dirk Nowitzki proud by dropping stellar 50-point performance against Rockets ahead of Christmas Day showdown

Luka Doncic once again carried the Dallas Mavericks on his back, turning Houston into a magical environment. With probably his best season in a short career, the 23-year-old sensation has rewritten history. The Slovenian guard was balling out last night. The Houston crowd’s taunts didn’t matter as Doncic erupted for his second career 50-point effort while playing far from home. Furthermore, he accomplished this when Shaquille O’Neal was present. Doncic has been the Dallas Mavericks’ lone fighter for the last two seasons. 

The front office did a respectable job of enlisting players like Christian Wood and Spencer Dinwiddie to assist their 23-year-old phenom. But tonight, with everyone on the floor, all eyes were on the Slovenian magician. Luka Doncic’s outstanding scoring performance proved the only factor that allowed Dallas to prevail in a tight contest.

The combined offense of the Houston Rockets came close to ruining Doncic’s 50-point performance. Jabari Smith Jr., the second-round selection, led the way with a team-high 24 points and 10 rebounds. Jalen Green further contributed with 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists. Only two Dallas Mavericks players scored more than 10 points, compared to all of Houston’s starting players, who reached double figures.

Superstar Luka Doncic transforms as Santa Claus in a kind gesture

The NBA and its stars have begun their regular ritual of distributing presents to fans and children as the Christmas season is well underway. This time, star Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks appeared to have transformed into Santa Claus. Recently, the $207 million star surprised sick children with a kind act.

During the holiday season, Doncic hosted a surprise party for ill children. The Mavs star organized an unforgettable day for the children at the Scottish Rite for Children facility. He provided the event’s whole funding as well as the patient gifts. Doncic made sure that 200 youngsters received NERF basketball hoops, NERF blasters, and Jordan Brand clothing despite the fact that he was unable to attend personally due to a game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Throughout the league and in Dallas, Luka Doncic is a favorite of the fans. The three-time All-Star made his league debut in 2018 and is now regarded as one of the league’s top athletes. He is currently in his fifth year and is enjoying his greatest season. Despite everything, Doncic has found time to volunteer in the area where he is so adored.
