Luka Doncic in 'Atmosphere' of NBA Greats, Says Mavericks Coach Jason Kidd
Kidd believes 24-year-old Doncic, who recently scored 73 points in a game, surpasses Dirk Nowitzki as the best player in Mavericks history and predicts multiple championships in his future.
- Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks' star player, has been praised by his coach Jason Kidd as being in the 'atmosphere' of all-time greats like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant.
- Kidd also stated that Doncic, at the age of 24, is already the best player in the history of the Mavericks, surpassing Dirk Nowitzki.
- Doncic's recent performances have been exceptional, including a 73-point game against the Atlanta Hawks, the highest-scoring performance in the NBA since Kobe Bryant's 81-point game.
- Despite his individual success, Doncic's team, the Mavericks, have not had much playoff success during his career, advancing out of the first round only once.
- Kidd remains confident that Doncic will lead the Mavericks to multiple championships, comparing his trajectory to that of Michael Jordan, who also hadn't won a title at this stage of his career.
