Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, LeBron James and Nikola Jokic have managed just 23 such performances combined at the same age.The latest milestone comes after Doncic delivered another outstanding display in a 138-117 victory over the Miami Heat, finishing with 42 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds.Luka Doncic continues remarkable scoring run as Los Angeles Lakers beat Miami HeatDoncic’s performance also caught the attention of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who offered an extraordinary assessment of the Lakers guard’s scoring ability.Speaking after the game, the Milwaukee Bucks star suggested Doncic could be the greatest scorer basketball has ever seen.“Obviously, he’s one of the best scorers to play this game, if not the best,” Antetokounmpo said.When asked to clarify whether he meant currently or across NBA history, Giannis doubled down: “Not right now. Of all time. I feel like some people are scared to say that, but he’s got to be up there.”Doncic is certainly making a strong case with his performances this season. He is averaging 38.3 points per game, the highest mark in the league, while the Lakers have made a 6-2 start.His scoring average is also supported by a remarkable run of form. Doncic has averaged 43.4 points across his last five games, including consecutive performances of 45 points against the Toronto Raptors and 42 against Miami.Lakers teammate Quentin Grimes has also been left impressed by the Slovenian’s shot-making ability.“I don’t think I’ve ever been on the court when everything somebody shoots, you think it’s going in. So, kind of crazy little heater he’s on for sure,” Grimes said.Doncic’s career scoring average of 29.35 points per game is already the third-highest in NBA history, behind only Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.With the Lakers winning games alongside his individual brilliance, Doncic’s challenge now is to maintain this level throughout the season and turn his historic start into a genuine championship push.Read more:LeBron James reveals the biggest adjustment he’s made in his 24th NBA seasonStan Van Gundy points out the one thing about the Houston Rockets that has left him concernedKhaman Maluach breaks silence on his altercation with Draymond Green
