Luka Doncic has been stunningly successful throughout his basketball life. For all of the talk of Victor Wembenyama as potentially the best prospect in the history of the NBA, Doncic was more successful at a higher level during his European career. Doncic won Eurobasket and the Euroleague prior to coming to the NBA.
Once in the NBA, Doncic won the rookie of the year award while being given the “keys to the offense” from Coach Rick Carlisle. He then had his first taste of NBA playoff basketball in his sophomore season. The Dallas Mavericks lost in the first round against the then title favorite Los Angeles Clippers, but Doncic played all time great playoff performer Kawhi Leonard to a virtual draw while averaging 31 points, 9.
