Player of the Game EFF 30 Luka Doncic Points 26 Accuracy 6-14 Rebounds 9 Assists 12

Doncic converted a free throw to push Mavericks' lead to four with just four seconds remaining. As the Kings took a timeout, Doncic pointed at Divac, who was sitting courtside, and later visibly said, 'He should've drafted me.'

Namely, Doncic was selected third overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, one pick behind Kings' selection Marvin Bagley III. Divac was Sacramento's general manager at the time. He now serves as a club ambassador.

Doncic immediately rose to stardom following his draft, while Bagley III has only evolved into being a role player, changing teams twice in his career already.

Rumors stated that Divac's decision not to draft Doncic was based on the NBA legend's complicated relationship with Doncic's father, a notion that Luka's father, Saša, later denied.

Doncic was voted Rookie of the Year in his first season in the NBA. He's been selected to the All-Star Game and the All-NBA First Team in every single season since his sophomore year in the league.
