In a jaw-dropping NBA game, the Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic, freshly christened as a ‘Girl Dad,’ etched his name in the league’s history books with a record-breaking performance just 24 hours after welcoming his first child. Doncic orchestrated a mind-blowing 30-0 run in the fourth quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder, showcasing an incredible display of ‘dad strength’ on the court.
Despite falling short of a victory, Doncic’s brilliance was nothing short of astonishing. The 22-year-old phenom recorded a triple-double with 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 18 assists, accompanied by two blocks and two steals. What makes this feat truly remarkable is that Doncic became the first player in NBA history to achieve multiple games with at least 35 points, 15 rebounds, 15 assists, two blocks, two steals, and five made 3-pointers.
In addition to his groundbreaking performance, Doncic climbed the ladder on the NBA’s all-time triple-double list, tying legendary Boston Celtics player Larry Bird for the ninth spot. This achievement adds another layer to the ongoing comparison between Doncic and Bird since the former’s NBA debut in 2018.
Doncic expressed his disappointment over the loss but commended his team’s effort, acknowledging the challenging circumstances with key players sidelined. The Slovenian sensation’s remarkable statistics further solidify his MVP-worthy campaign this season, with averages of 31.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 8.4 assists through 18 games.
The historic night not only showcased Doncic’s individual brilliance but also served as a testament to his resilience and dedication to the game, especially in the midst of personal milestones like becoming a father. The league and fans alike are left in awe of Luka Doncic, as he continues to rewrite the NBA record books with each exceptional performance.
