Everyone knows how well Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is doing so far this season.
The man recently surpassed Wilt Chamberlain‘s jaw-dropping streak of eight 30-point games to start the season.
This incredible outburst at the start of the year has Doncic in serious conversation about this year’s MVP.
Thanks to Doncic’s hard work, his team is currently 6-3 and just had a very impressive victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

During that game, Doncic was looking like Doncic and doing the things that have made him a fan favorite.
That included one moment when his handles and dribbling were so quick that they left Ben Simmons of the Nets on his backside.
Simmons didn’t know how to keep up with Doncic and collapsed before the Slovenian star made his way toward the basket.
This isn’t the first time that Doncic has outplayed other guys with pizazz and showmanship – and it won’t be the last.
Doncic Dodging Defenders
Doncic’s career average is 26.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 8 assists – all astonishing numbers.
But he’s going even harder so far this season, putting up 36 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 8.3 assists.
Doncic is more tuned in than ever before and seems physically fit, mentally driven, and intent on having his best season yet.
The good news keeps coming for Doncic because the front office recently gave him some good help in the form of Christian Wood, who came over from the Houston Rockets in the summer.
Wood is a great fit on the team and works well alongside Doncic and others.
This takes some pressure off Doncic.
You would think that since the entire team is getting better that Doncic’s point totals would lessen as more players score for Dallas.
But even with a stronger team, Doncic is still putting up the best numbers of his career.
