If there is one thing everyone knows about Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, it’s that the man can sink some wildly unbelievable trick shots.
He has done it a few times during regular season games but he has mostly done it on practice courts while warming up with his team.
He’s done it again.
A new video shared by the Mavericks on Twitter shows Doncic sitting down on a bench behind the basket.
He launches the ball in the air and makes it, of course.
The reaction from Doncic and his teammate Maxi Kleber says it all: it’s hard to believe he can do this so often.

There have been so many instances of Doncic scoring buckets like this that it’s clear that it’s more than just blind luck.
The Slovenian superstar has the natural ability to find the basket no matter where he is.
This shot took place on a practice court in Abu Dhabi, either before or after the Mavericks played against the Minnesota Timberwolves for their first preseason game.
The T-Wolves easily took care of the Mavs, 111-99, despite Doncic posting 25 points.
Things looked pretty rough for the Mavericks at the start of that game.
They were down 22-5 after about six minutes into the first quarter and although they were able to close that gap a bit as time went on, they did not look great at all.
But this is a preseason game so fans aren’t too worried – at least not yet.
In the weeks ahead, the team will look much better and prepared for the long season ahead.
But there is no guarantee that Doncic will make any shots like this during games.
