Despite his amazing performances this season, the Dallas Mavericks still have a record of 3-3. To be honest, they could have a much better record, but today our focus is not on the Dallas Mavericks. Instead, let’s focus on Doncic only.

Previously, he gathered a lot of praise from fans for defeating the Brooklyn Nets’ iconic duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. And now, the young superstar created history after scoring 44 points in the recent victory over the Orlando Magic.
