Apart from innumerable individual showdowns, NBA arenas have also witnessed magical partnerships. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, are some of the most iconic duos the sport has ever seen. During his stint with the Miami Heat, the modern-era legend LeBron James partnered with Dwyane Wade to create history. Now that King James has adulated the stellar display of a young star, fans are more than excited to see LBJ and the youngster come together to form a dream partnership.
Last night the Dallas Mavericks snapped their four-game losing streak against the Indiana Pacers on the back of flamboyant performances from Luka Doncic and Jaden Hardy. Like icing on the cake, Luka Doncic put out an insane skill that has left everyone in the NBA world, including the mighty LeBron James, flabbergasted.

Toward the end of the third quarter of the Mavericks-Pacers game, Luka Doncic received a heavy pass from Christian Wood. The 4x-NBA All-Star had to rush to contain the ball from going out of play. By the time Doncic managed to get hold of the ball, he was surrounded by the Pacers players. In a snap, the Mavericks star saw Jaden Hardy was open at the left wing. Doncic jumped and threw a heavy powerful that traveled through the rear of the backboard and landed in Hardy’s hands. Hardy comfortably converted it into a three-pointer.
