Luka Doncic had an incredible game Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, narrowly missing a record set by the legendary Kobe Bryant. Doncic scored 43 poin

A Dallas Mavericks guard revealed his unfiltered reaction to the league-altering Luka Doncic trade last season.

Anthony Edwards led the way for that group with 41 points. He took the most shots of the quartet, knocking down 14-for-28 from the floor (along with all eight of his foul shots, the only 100% at the line of the four). The Minnesota Timberwolves pulled out a close win.

The Warriors beat the Lakers 119-109 on opening night as Golden State overcame a heroic performance by Luka Dončić in Los Angeles. Stephen Curry put the game away with a spectacularly deep three-pointer in the final minute of the game as the Warriors got off to a 1-0 start on the season.

For what it’s worth, Nowitzki was not alone in his take. Fellow Mavs legend Steve Nash also named Doncic when asked about his MVP prediction, while sports reporter Taylor Rooks had the same thoughts and mentioned how she was impressed by the Slovenian star’s conditioning during the offseason.

One of the reasons the commissioner is convinced that Luka Magic is extra motivated this year is because of his summer transformation. The Mavericks were concerned with Doncic's physical conditioning and his defense, prompting them to trade their franchise centerpiece.

Luka is one of four in NBA history to score 43 points during his opening game of the year. He is grouped in with Wilt Chamberlain, Walt Bellamy, and Jalen Rose. Only a handful of active NBA players are ahead, such as Ja Morant, James Harden, Jaylen Brown, Anthony Davis, and Kyrie Irving.
