Luka Doncic tied his NBA personal-best with 35 points leading the Dallas Mavericks to their away win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, that wasn’t it for the Slovenian sensation on Saturday.
From the first quarter, he became the sixth player since 2000 to score 1,000 points before turning 20. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Devin Booker and Dwight Howard were the previous ones.
After the 2018-19 Regular Season game, he found the time to thank a fan giving him his game-worn shoes. The lucky spectator’s sign proved he’s among those who disagreed with Doncic’s All-Star snub.

The 19-year-old made 13/25 from the field including four shots beyond the arc. He also grabbed ten boards, dished six helpers and added one steal in 33 minutes at the Quicken Loans Arena.
