Luka Docic made NBA history Friday night, becoming only the fourth player to have a 70+ point game, dropping 73 on the Hawks in a Mavericks’ win. It was a legendary performance.

It was an epic performance and came just days after Joel Embiid dropped 70 in a game (and on the night Devin Booker also dropped 62).
The NBA world reacted to Doncic and his scoring explosion on social media.

Luka is what James Harden was in Houston (JH still super cold just saying at his peak). Plays the same exact way! Better just hope he misses cuz you can’t stop em 🤷🏾♂️
