Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is currently preparing to lead Team Slovenia into the FIBA Basketball World Cup at the end of the month.
Slovenia’s team is filled with premiere talent but there is no doubt that Doncic is the biggest star and their leader.
On Saturday morning, MFFL shared a slow-motion video of Doncic nailing a wild and hard-to-believe behind-the-back pass in a warm-up game.
The ball somehow found Doncic’s teammate at the perimeter and was then put up for a smooth three-pointer.

Basketball fans all over were blown away by Doncic’s move.
Some tipped their caps to the Slovenian teammate who received the ball and made the shot despite the pressure.
Can’t imagine the pressure to hit the shot after receiving a pass like this.

And many others were commenting on the immense skill of Doncic and how naturally talented he is.
Even after several years in the league, the Mavericks star still blows people away.
it actually makes no sense how good this dude is

Others got giddy thinking of Doncic performing passes like this with the Mavericks next season.
“I can’t wait to see him pass like this to Seth/grant next season,” one user said.

Others weren’t so optimistic that this play would have gone so well if it were with the Mavericks.
There is still a lack of faith among some fans about the majority of Dallas’ roster.
If that was a Mav last year, he would have clanked it.

Doncic is going to try his hardest during the World Cup and then he will focus solely on the NBA season ahead.
If he can continue to produce plays like this one, the Mavericks might be in a very good position to return to the playoffs.
The Mavericks want a lot more Luka Magic in 2023-24.
