Luka Doncic Outscores 2081 of 2082 Players to Have Ever Competed in NBA Playoffs Except 1 Legend

Luka Doncic has proven to be one of the most versatile players at a very young age. Doncic led his team to the Conference Finals this year, though he couldn’t get past the Warriors. So far, Luka has touched many milestones, including one crazy stat.

After averaging 31 points and 9 rebounds in this year’s postseason, Luka stands second in all-time playoff averages. There have been about 2082 players in history who have played in the playoffs. Each player has averaged some numbers playing in the postseason. Though on the top of the 2082 player list is the great Michael Jordan.

Luka stands second in all-time playoff averages after Michael Jordan

In a ridiculous stat that features players’ points per game in playoff games with respect to playoff games played, Luka stands second, averaging about 32.7 points a game. The first on the list is Michael Jordan, who averaged 33.4 points in his playoff career. Compared to Luka, Jordan has played in 13 postseasons, while 6 of them led to nothing but rings.

Doncic, on the other hand has played in 3 postseasons, making it to the third round at best. Unlike Jordan, Doncic is a highly efficient shooter from the outside, making himself a dangerous shooting threat. This stat may not exactly compare Doncic to MJ, but it does show how Luka has performed in his initial postseasons. Doncic has only played 4 seasons in the NBA, as for him there are more playoffs to come.

Will Luka eventually top this stat?

It is interesting to predict this, as if Luka can put big numbers in just his fourth season, he might as well repeat the same. Moreover, playoff basketball is different and players give their all in these series. There is no doubt that Luka doesn’t have enough superstars with him, but after this postseason, he won’t need too many of them.

Doncic needs a player who would support and take some load off of him. This way he will one day win a ring and be on top of this stat.

Each player who is regarded as one of the greatest to ever play always had that one teammate who would be there as a reliable backup. Kobe and Shaq, MJ and Pippen, Curry and Thompson are some examples of duos that have won their teams rings. It will be interesting to see how the Mavs try to build a team around him.
