After scoring a historic 60-21-10 triple-double, Mavs star Luka Doncic instantaneously states that he needs a beer
Luka Doncic couldn’t help but anticipate a good night’s sleep and a beer after the game. Doncic told Jeff “Skin” Wade, a courtside reporter for Bally Sports Southwest. “I’m tired as hell. I need a recovery beer.”
Simply stated, Luka Doncic is one of the NBA’s most spectacular players. He once again placed the Dallas Mavericks (and maybe the whole state of Texas) on his back with a huge 60-point, 21-rebound, and 10-assist effort to lead the Mavs to a 126-121 overtime victory over the New York Knicks.
Playing basketball for 47 minutes straight, as Luka Doncic did in his record triple-double performance, is exhausting enough as it is. It’s difficult to imagine the effort involved in starting the team’s offense in each game.
Designing NBA history is a hot topic right now since it seems like the younger generation of athletes are often shattering previous records. With James Harden, Luka has the only other 60-point triple-double in NBA history.
Overlooking individual numbers, the Mavericks’ 126-121 victory makes them the only team to triumph in a contest after trailing by nine points with 35 seconds remaining. Teams in such circumstances have a record of 0-13,884 during the previous 20 years, according to ESPN.
In 32 games this season, he is already averaging 33.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 8.8 assists, which is a witness to the absurd amount of effort he is putting in as he approaches what should be the peak of his career. The Mavs will have to go to whatever lengths to keep Doncic cheerful since it’s uncommon for a player as brilliant as the Slovenian superstar to enter the league. Additionally, Luka Doncic may receive more than one recovery beer.
