Coach Carlisle spoke to a radio show and talked about the amazing impact that Doncic is having on the Mavericks during the NBA playoffs and how great his career will be moving forward.

"I don't have any question in my mind that there'll be multiple MVPs in his future", coach Carlisle said of Doncic. "There'll be championships in his future. He has a real, great, natural sense for the moment".

Coach Carlisle also praised the changes that current Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was able to bring in this season, especially on the defensive end.

"Jason was able to bring an attitude that was needed", coach Carlisle commented.

After defeating the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference semifinals, the Dallas Mavericks will now face the Golden State Warriors in the conference finals.

During these playoffs, Luka Doncic is averaging 31.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 2 steals per game, while shooting 34.7% from three-point.
