Going Deeper- Luka Dončić

Luka Dončić is popularly referred to as ‘Luka Magic’ for a reason. Dončić has led the Dallas Mavericks to deep playoff runs including an appearance in the 2022 Western Conference Finals and the 2024 Finals. He made his senior debut with Spanish club Real Madrid in 2015 at only 16 years of age. Before long he became the best player in Europe, leading Real Madrid to a EuroLeague title in 2018 and earning EuroLeague MVP honors.

The Dallas Mavericks traded for Dončić after he was selected with the 3rd overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Though some questioned if his game would translate to the NBA, Dončić left no doubt during an explosive rookie season that saw him average 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6 assists and win the 2018-19 Rookie of the Year award. 

He improved the next three seasons, all of which culminated in 1st Team All-NBA selections. His incredible talent and poise as such a young player has put the entire league on notice for what is shaping up to be a legendary career. 

Dončić is a 5-time NBA All-Star, has been named to the All-NBA 1st Team 5 times, was the 2023-24 scoring champ, and was awarded the 2024 Western Conference Finals MVP.
