“Cooking ’em” NBA Fan react to Luka Doncic’s INSANE 40-point triple-double against the Nets
Luka Doncic
Luka Doncic put on a spectacular performance Thursday night as Dallas Mavericks defeated the Brooklyn Nets 129-125. He finished with 41 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, and three steals. Doncic led the Mavericks’ single-star charge against the Nets’ three-headed super team by continuing his 30-plus point scoring streak through the first four games of the season.
Post-game Jason Kidd, the Mavericks coach praised Luka Doncic’s game by saying, “We are spoiled to have someone like that, He controlled the game. … It’s maturity. His IQ is so high. He understands the moment, and he delivered.” When asked what passes through his head in that circumstance, Doncic responded that it was difficult to describe, “I honestly don’t know… but probably say I try some things on the court and it looks good.”
It’s not shocking to learn that Luka Doncic experiments with these passes frequently in practice. It’s just astounding that he can execute them in live settings. When he’s on the court with them, his teammates know they can expect anything, and it’s leading to some highlight-reel assists.
Fortunately for the Mavericks, Doncic had a stellar performance that led to a victory. Dallas may only be 2-2, but their two losses were by a combined four points, and the true bright spot is that Doncic appears to have started the season without missing a beat. Doncic is performing at MVP caliber despite the controversy surrounding his fitness at the beginning of the previous two seasons.
NBA Twitter erupts after Luka Doncic’s latest exploits
After another stellar performance, it was difficult for fans across the world to keep calm and not acknowledge Luka Doncic’s latest triple-double performance. Apart from his triple-double, Doncic even embarrassed Nets’ guard Ben Simmons with an insane no-look pass. Here are some of the best reactions from the fans.
Doncic took on Simmons off the dribble with three minutes remaining in the third quarter and the score tied at 80. He then executed a between-the-legs crossover to go into the shaded area. Being the excellent defender that he is, Simmons stayed up with Doncic stride for stride. However, as Doncic took a half-spin, he launched an unbelievable no-look, overhead pass straight into the arms of Maxi Kleber, who converted a lefty reverse layup when the defense went limp.
