Entering 2022, Doncic is the most popular player in the NBA. According to statistics, since January 1, 2022, Doncic has averaged 29.9 points, 10.2 rebounds and 8.7 assists in 33 games. In the regular season in early March, Doncic played Curry and James in the game list, which made people see the courage and boldness of the younger generation of stars.
Recently, Doncic talked about this matter while participating in Redick's podcast. Doncic said: "They will also deliberately come to me on the offensive end. Because they think I'm not defending well. Therefore, I also want to score points on their heads. They're dealing with the ball all the time and they're also very tired. When you're facing the best players on the other side, do you want to score on them? ”
Doncic has only been in the league for his fourth season, but he is already a well-deserved star in the league. Just after today's game between the Wizards and the Lakers, Wizards star Porzingis also praised his former teammates. He said: "Doncic has the talent and ability to be the new face of the league. He played at a very high level and of course there are a lot of other young people who have a good performance, Morant, Tatum, etc., but Luca is Luca, and to do this requires some luck and health and all the other things combined. ”
NBA celebrity Perkins also said: "Doncic is expected to become a new façade for the league through Morant, Tatum and Trae Young. In the latest issue of the MVP rankings, Doncic has risen to No. 5, behind Jokic, Embiid and Morant.
