This player is a genius.
Luka Doncic tamed the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden (108-122) with another exceptional basketball game from him: 39 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds and 4 steals.
He scored 12 points in the third quarter, before adding fifteen more units in the last period with a 100% success and four out of four 3 points.
The NBA may have its future MVP and, once again, he will not be American but European.
In New York, a few hours after the transfer of Evan Fournier to Detroit, Doncic brought the legendary room to its feet with a bright and magical pass to Dwight Powell.
A fabulous offering, behind his back, destined for the racket after a race around the arc.
Luka MAGIC with a behind-the-back dime!

Recall that Doncic, only a few days ago, scored 73 points in Atlanta (148-143 victory), becoming the fourth player with the highest score in a game in NBA history.
We do not yet know, unfortunately, if the Dallas star, who came to Roland-Garros last summer for Pier 54, will be at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The Slovenian selection, beaten in Tokyo in the semi-final in 2021 with Nicolas Batum's historic counter, is in fact not yet qualified.
At the start of the summer, she will have to go through an Olympic qualifying tournament (TQO) and eliminate Giannis Antetokounmpo's Greece to come to France.
