Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is such an impressive basketball player that other stars are blown away by him.
Lamar Odom, formerly of the Los Angeles Lakers, reacted to a widely-shared video of Doncic making a wild shot from the sidelines before a World Cup practice.
“The way he just makes it look so easy is a little scary,” Odom said.

Doncic’s skills really are scary for every other team in the NBA.
Even though the Mavericks experienced a very disappointing season in 2022-23, Doncic was still playing some of the best basketball of his career.
It is clear that Doncic just needs a stronger team around him.
Acquiring Kyrie Irving last season was a good step but Doncic and Dallas need more.
If they get it, they could once again reach the Western Conference Finals and possibly beyond.
But before Doncic starts another season in the league, he is going to lead Team Slovenia in the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Doncic is easily the best player on this team but he has some serious talent with him on the roster.
How far can this team go against other imposing opponents like Team USA, Team Spain, and Team Canada?
Doncic playing well in the World Cup could be great news for the Mavericks.
He is in sensational shape right now and ready to play hard.
That means that when the regular season begins, he’ll still be in prime shape and in a competitive mindset.
However, the Mavericks don’t have a tough time starting the season well.
Instead, they struggle to end the season in a strong position.
Will that change next year?
