It’s crazy to me that there are some people who doubt Luka’s talent. At his best, he’s a one man wrecking crew.

Wow, Jokic and Luka with triple-doubles in their first game of the season! 🔥

[Ornitorrincopozolero]

Luka is actually playing good defense too man. MVP season loading...

Luka is a bad man 🔥 Another Season, Another Luka Magic Moment 👏🏻👏🏻

I couldn't believe the audacity of the shot that Doncic hit at the end of the game. The courage to take it and the skill to make it!

[roydcruz]

his court awareness is just insanely good!

Despite high profile debut for Wemby as a Spurs fan. Gonna hats off to the great Luka

[jr-pndt]

already looking at one of the most skilled players ever, this guys tempo control is insane

[AnkitSharma-qmsg]

you give this man a decent center and this is what happens. lets go mavs🎉

[Vourne]

With all the focus on Wemby that night, Luka's triple double was actually pretty quiet. He was easily the best player on the floor.

luka is lookin a lot more explosive and shifty this season

[bayouox]

Nice to see so many of little things like rebounding, closing out your man on defense, moving without the ball & how can anyone overlook that steal Luka made in last two minutes to really help close out the to mention ANOTHER triple double for the don.MAVS!

My man Luka, anyone who has been watching Luka needs to realize that he is a beast. Game changer for real. I live in Dallas, and I enjoy watching him do his thing, and you can't call him a ball hog, 33pts, 14 rebounds and 10 assists ... look out people and thats game one. many more coming.

Luka is doing better and better and 1 3tiple double in opening season its great for him..

[BENOZ]

I love Luka at the end saying "I'M HERE." Reminding everyone that Wembanyama isn't the only generational talent on the floor.

[JoshBottorff]

Luka Doncic is the best offensive player I’ve ever seen
