Luka Dončić’s MVP-Caliber Masterclass Sparks Rivalry Drama in Lakers vs. Mavericks Showdown

There aren’t many NBA players that could reduce James, arguably a top-two player of all time, to a weakside cutter and tertiary playmaker. But such is the marvel of Dončić, leading the way for a scorching-hot Lakers team that has won six in a row and sits in second place in the Western Conference behind the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Dončić entered Friday’s game averaging 38.5 points, 9.3 assists and 8.5 rebounds per game — despite a usage rate that has skyrocketed to a career-high 44.9% since James’ return. That Dončić is churning out production for himself while remaining a central figure for his teammates — assisting on nearly 42% of their shots, per Cleaning the Glass — is nothing short of MVP status. The presence of Deandre Ayton, a mobile, rim-running two-way talent has enabled Dončić to lean fully into his pick-and-roll attack, too.
