Where he unleashed himself in career mode to do everything with his player only. Luka tallies amongst the best NBA player in the league’s current era.
Kevin Durant tweeted, “That was a MyCareer type performance from Luka tonight. Some video game shit.” Similarly, Kevin Garnett, the 2008 NBA Champion, tweeted, “It’ll be another statue in Dallas… Luka is like that!”
Luka Doncic’s team-mate Christian Wood telling him that he’ll be sending a goat to Luka’s farm, “@luka7doncic Im sending u a GOAT to yo farm my boy .. 60.. great team W #MFFL”
Trae Young and DeMar DeRozan also tweeted, “Luka just having fun! The game EZ @luka7doncic!”, “This dude Luka!!”
Luka Doncic has surpassed plenty record, but he has also made a record where it is only, he who stands.

He now holds the record for most points in a single game, previously held by Dirk Nowitzki. 53.
“To do something that’s never been done before, that’s hard to do,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said. “There’s been some great players before him. Elgin Baylor and Wilt, he was in that class, and then he separated himself and made his own class.”
Even the opponent coach, Tom Thibodeau, could not defend his team after watching Luka’s magic in the game, “He is monster player, there are some plays I thought he made good plays and was aggressive. But you can’t keep fouling a guy and give 22 free throws up.”
