The Dallas Mavericks dominated the Sacramento Kings tonight! Dallas took no chances as they demolished the Kings 132-96. But what has gone viral on social media is something Luka Doncic stated. His comment regarding his colleague Kyrie Irving is completely innocent.

 

Irving was given the nickname ‘Batman’ quite some time ago. His admiration for the Marvel superhero has also helped it gain popularity. But it appears that Doncic is also in love with the whole thing. He compared himself to Robin and Irving’s Batman. The NBA’s TNT X account shared the cute video.

“He’s the Batman, I’m the Robin,” Doncic said. “It’s just amazing man, everything on our team is amazing. Outside basketball, he’s just a great person and we all get along so well. The chemistry is really good right now.”

Streak and is sixth in the West with a 43-29 record. He led the game in scoring with 28 points, 26 of which came in the first half alone. The Slovenian guard also tallied 11 rebounds and six assists on the night. Irving followed closely behind with 24 points, the game’s second-highest total, along with eight assists and three rebounds.

 

Keegan Murray led the Kings with 17 points. However, Domantas Sabonis recorded another double-double, maintaining his lead in double- and triple-doubles this season. Throughout his career, he has 324 double-doubles and 57 triple-doubles. The Lithuanian-American came close to a triple-double tonight, with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists.

 

With only 10 games left in the playoffs, Luka Doncic might be back in the MVP discussion.

Is Luka Doncic in contention for his first NBA MVP?
The Dallas Mavericks have had a disastrous season, at least for the majority of the first half, plagued by injuries. But looking at them now, it’s difficult to think that was the case. While the Mavs have demonstrated what can happen when a team plays as a unit, Doncic’s constant heroics have played a significant role in their comeback.

 

Without a question, Luka Doncic is unlike any other player in NBA history. His worldwide achievements should have been enough to prepare us, but the Slovenian guard continues to stun the globe in previously unheard-of ways. The five-time All-Star is on his way to being the first player in NBA history to average 33.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per season.

“Robin” leads the league in scoring, and quite efficiently too – 48.7% overall and 37.4% from downtown. The team, for its part, is thriving too. Dallas is 9-1 in the last 10 games; the only loss coming against the OKC and Doncic was out that night. But with “Luka-magic” in play, the Mavs are 10-0 in the past 10 games.

So, what do you think about Luka’s chances this season? Will he ultimately receive his first MVP? Tell us what you think!
