Luka Doncic first player since Michael Jordan to open season with six 30+ point games

The Mavericks have started the season on something of a roller coaster, but their superstar, Luka Doncic’s season has opened more like a rocket ship.

Through six games, he’s leading the league in scoring, averaging a sensational 36.7 points per game. He’s just the sixth player to score 30 or more points in each of the first six games of the season and the first to do it since the inimitable Michael Jordan all the back in the 1986-87 season. One could argue Doncic’s break-neck start is something of a gift to the former NBA-great, seeing as how Luka’s signature shoe is part of the Jordan brand.
