On August 17th 2020, Luka Doncic played his first NBA Playoff game. It was a remarkable achievement that the 21 year old had managed to lead his team to the playoffs in only his second year in the league, but now was the truest test.
In the NBA, players are often judged and valued by how they perform in the Playoffs, especially in the NBA Finals. Doncic would be playing under the brightest lights he ever had before, but he’s no stranger to big games. He had played in multiple European professional leagues since he was only 13 years old, even qualifying for the Euroleague All-Decade Team.
