The air is pretty thin up in the stratosphere where Luka Doncic joined Michael Jordan. The Mavericks star who the NBA community was trying to pull down a notch for those MJ comparisons, just made NBA history as the only player with six straight 30-point triple-doubles. Apart from leading Dallas to a blowout 142-124 win over Detroit, he also accomplished a feat that only His Airness has done in the league’s 77 years.
The Jordan Brand, which signed Doncic for a cool $75 million in 2019, just validated what a phenomenon Doncic is on the Jumpman23 Instagram page. Because only the Jumpman himself knows what Doncic is feeling, the brief congratulatory message had a quiet confident vibe to it. “Unbelievable. Except to you,” the Jumpman23 Stories said.
Doncic finished the game with an eye-popping 39-10-10. As the buzzer sounded, he had beat Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson’s records. He was also the first player to register a fifth straight 35-point triple-double.
