“He came in the middle of the season last year. We didn’t have much time [last season],” Doncic said. “We went straight to playing games. It takes time to build chemistry, especially on the court. We will have the whole training camp and then the preseason, too. I think it’s going to be way better.”

Luka Doncic: the only active NBA player averaging at least 30 points in the playoffs

Dallas Mavericks’ superstar guard Luka Doncic leads all active players with an impressive playoff scoring average of 32.5 points per game, a remarkable achievement considering his limited postseason appearances – a total of 28 games across three seasons.

Despite his young age, the 24-year-old star from the Mavericks has consistently outperformed established superstars like Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Devin Booker in the playoffs, showcasing his exceptional talent and composure on the mega platform.

Doncic’s trajectory suggests the potential to rival the stat leader Jordan’s record in the future. Since his entry into the league in 2018, Doncic has transformed the Dallas Mavericks into serious playoff contenders. According to Statmuse, Dallas Mavericks guard Doncic currently leads all active players in career playoff scoring average at 32.5 per game.

While Doncic has participated in only 28 playoff games over three seasons, a vast contrast to Michael Jordan‘s 179 appearances, the 24-year-old NBA star is still in the early stages of his career. If he continues his remarkable performance, there’s a chance he could pose a significant threat to Jordan’s playoff game record in the near future.
