Following his 73 points career high score, Luka Doncic unlocked yet another milestone tonight. During the Monday night match-up against the Orlando Magic, he joined an elite club with his second assist. With that assist, he went on to join LeBron James in a two-man club. The Slovenian baller became only the second man in the NBA world to score 10,000 points with 3,000 rebounds and 3,000 assists before hitting 25 years of age.
With his second assist of the night against the Magic at the 5:30 mark of the first quarter, Luka Dončić has reached 3,000 career assists.

Luka has made enough revelation in this season with his balling skills. The highlight of the lot was when he dropped 73 points against the Atlanta Hawks to join the elite club of 70-point scorers. While that club had a sizable number of players in it, tonight he joined another club which was exclusively reserved for the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, LeBron James.
The 24-year-old doesn’t seem to hold back, as he continues to produce unreal numbers on a consistent basis. Although he has joined an elite club with King James, the NBA world recently put him in a same pedestal with Michael Jordan.
The Dallas Mavericks star, who is amidst a red hot form, will look to close out with a career best season. He is currently averaging 34.4 points with 8.6 rebounds and 9.4 assists. While he has achieved this feat in such a short span, he has also surpassed MJ with an unique record.
At the age of 24, Luka Magic currently has 37 40-pointer games compared to Michael Jordan, who has 52 in his entire career. So the fans debate that the Mavs franchise leader could move mountains in the NBA world before he hangs his kicks.

While the hoops community went gaga over his 73-pointer game, it forgot to notice another unreal stat. Especially, it is something that no other players has ever produced in the history of the league. Luka averaged 50-point triple double over the weekend. Following his 73 points game, he dropped 28 points with 10 rebounds and 17 assists against the Sacramento Kings.
After the game, he averaged 50.5 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists over the weekend. At this rate, Doncic could break several records in the league in the years to come. Importantly, King James’ scoring champion title can also be in danger.
