Luka Doncic delivered a one of a kind performance in Game 7 against the Phoenix Suns, dropping 35 points in 30 minutes, as the Mavericks cruised to the Western Conference finals.
Doncic finished the game with 35 points (6/8 2PT, 6/11 3PT, 5/5 FT), 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 2 turnovers. His show captured the attention of former and current NBA players who showed some intense reaction on social media.
Patrick Beverley felt some vindication for picking Mavs and Luka to go all the way.
He later replied to Jeremy Lin, who said Chris Paul deserves a championship.
Nikola Vucevic said Doncic's reaction after every basket was unique.
CJ McCollum knows that Doncic has played in far more hostile environments that Phoenix, which means that an NBA "road game isn’t really pressure to him."
Pau Gasol made a rather modest observation.
Doncic's fellow countryman and teammate Goran Dragic was one of the first ones to comment.
Andre Drummond was more expletive in his reaction.
Paul Pierce needed one word for Doncic and one tweet for the game.
Kyle Kuzma had a point on Jason Kidd.
Doncic had Patrick Mahomes, football quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL, go crazy.
But NBA players weren't the only ones to react to Luka Doncic's big night. Even Real Madrid FC midfielder Toni Kroos wondered "how good" the Slovenian is.
Of course, Dirk Nowitzki didn't have to tweet to give his Mavericks successor his due respect.
At the postgame presser, Spencer Dinwiddie said Luka Doncic "wants to go toe-to-toe with the best and throw that knockout punch."
Dallas will face the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals.
