Portland Trail Blazers star, who is third in the league in scoring and has his team at 18-10 and in playoff position despite injuries to CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic, was tapped by his peers and NBA media to earn a starting spot – but the fan vote gave Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic a starting spot alongside Steph Curry. Get it together, Twitter, because Luka Doncic is NOT a soccer player. In Twitter’s eyes, there is no discernible difference between Luka Doncic and Luka Modric. Doncic is the superstar swingman.
Luka Doncic had the moment of his young career on Sunday. The 21-year-old hit a deep 3-pointer at the buzzer to give his Dallas Mavericks a 134-133 win over the Los Angeles Clippers in overtime. The victory tied their first-round playoff series at 2-2. Twitter exploded after he hit the shot with some great reactions.
Here's the shot:
Amazing. What a play by the young man.
Here's how Twitter reacted:
The crazy thing about all of this is how young Doncic is and how his rise is just starting. It's also insane that three teams passed on him during the 2018 NBA Draft when I specifically told them he was by farthe best player in the class. That's a decision those teams will regret for a long, long time.
