Luka Doncic had a special day on Wednesday. The 25-year-old star point guard of the Dallas Mavericks guided his team to a significant win against the Toronto Raptors, making a mark in NBA history.

Luka Doncic achieved a 30-point triple-double in Toronto, aiding the Mavericks in recovering from a disheartening loss in Cleveland the night before. He made history by being the first player in the NBA to have a triple-double with at least 30 points on his birthday. Luka has achieved another milestone, adding to a growing list of accomplishments, with his name often being compared to legendary figures in the sport.

Luka surpasses LeBron on a list of players with triple-doubles.

Doncic excelled in Dallas’ 136-125 victory in Toronto, recording 16 assists, 11 rebounds, and 30 points. At halftime, the Mavericks were behind by one point but dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Raptors 40-25. They went on to win easily and improve their season record to 34-25.

Doncic surpassed LeBron James on the all-time list of players with 30-point triple-doubles by achieving his 39th in his career. Doncic achieved his 11th triple-double of the season and the 67th of his career, despite being in his sixth season.

Doncic impressed at Scotiabank Arena, earning plaudits from Raptors colour commentator Alvin Williams, who referred to him as “the best passer” he has ever seen in an NBA game. Doncic has accumulated 30 assists in his last two games and has achieved at least 15 assists in eight games this season.

Doncic has achieved 30 points or more in 39 out of 51 games this season. As of Wednesday night, he was the top scorer in the NBA with an average of 34.5 points per game. If Dallas finishes high enough in the standings, he might become the first Mavericks player to win the scoring title and receive significant MVP votes due to his performance as a former Real Madrid player.
