Luka Doncic left the basketball community on social media stunned with a crazy three pointer for the Slovenian national team against Hungary at EuroBasket 2022 – and an NBA legend in particular.
The Dallas Mavericks superstar was at his best against Hungary in the ongoing EuroBasket 2022 tournament at Cologne, Germany as he helped Slovenia to a 103-88 win.
However, one passage of play caught the most eyeballs in particular and proved Doncic’s credentials as one of the best ballers in the game right now.
It was in the third quarter of the game when Slovenia had already established a strong lead over their opponents, and Doncic brought out the party piece as he set aim from well outside the arc for a three pointer.
While it may have seemed to the opponents and everyone in attendance that Doncic was too far out for a shot, what followed had everyone stunned at the sheer brilliance of the Mavericks man.
Doncic set aim from well outside the arc but to the crowd’s astonishment, the ball simply looped over everyone and went through the hoop for one of the most incredible three pointers we have ever seen.
As the ball went through the hoop, the Hungarian supporters were left visibly speechless while the Slovenian fans responded with “MVP” chants.
However, one particular NBA legend’s reaction summed up the passage of play.
NBA legend Jason Kidd was in attendance at Cologne and his reaction summed up the brilliance of Doncic’s three pointer.
The former NBA professional who currently coaches Doncic for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA was in attendance to see his franchise player perform, and even he was left visibly stunned by the brilliance of the three pointers.
As the camera panned to Kidd while Doncic was reeling away in celebration, Kidd was visibly speechless even after coaching the superstar for his NBA franchise and spending hours with him Doncic’s ability was still a lot for Kidd to fathom.
