NBA Only Robertson, Simmons and Magic did it in fewer games
Luka Doncic keep breaking down barriers in the NBA. The negative comments about his poor form at the start of the season, and even his overweight, far from negatively affecting him they have motivated him to improve if possible its benefits. When the criticism raged, has appeared to silence mouths. And he has made it big.
A few days ago roz the triple-double to bring down theMiami Heat, current runners-up, with a superb performance (27 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists). Then he missed the next game of the Mavericks after receiving a strong impact on the thigh.
But neither the blows seem to affect him because last night in his reappearance he starred in a new recital leading the triumph of the Mavericks on the court of the Rockets (100-113) with his first triple-double it’s from the season: 33 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists.
In this way he rewrites another golden page in the pages of the history of the NBA by becoming the fourth player in the league to achieve more than 1,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists. Specifically, the Slovenian prodigy already accumulates his 21 to and at the beginning of its third season in the NBA nothing less than 3,440 points, 1,190 rebounds and 1,010 assists. And has done it in just 139 games.
Only three players needed fewer matches to become millennials in those three statistical categories: Legendary Oscar Robertson (98), the young pearl of the Sixers Ben Simmons (123) and the legendary Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson, who did it with 126 games. Doncic (139) in this particular ranking surpasses LeBron James, who needed 19 games more than Luka Doncic (158) to reach that triple-double millennial statistic. Biggest words for a player who continues to make history.
