In reality since he was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks with the third overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft - he was then traded to the Mavs - he’s been an absolute sensation. In the three years that Doncic has been in the league, he’s reinvented the very game we all love. and as such, is now considered among the very best players in the league.
If there was any doubt about that fact - we don’t know why there would be - Doncic recently punctuated the point by setting a 60-21-10 triple-double, which put him in a class with the likes of the legendary Wilt Chamberlain. “It’s incredible to be in comparisons with those guys,” he said at the time. Yet, here’s the thing: Luka Doncic has been a star from the moment we first his name. From his days with Spain’s Real Madrid, to when he helped his home country to win the EuroBasket title in 2017, Doncic has gone from strength to strength. To that end, the 2019 NBA Rookie of Year has been named to the All-Star team in each of his three seasons in the league so far and quite frankly that’s likely to continue.
