Luka Doncic replicates Larry Bird feat from 1982

Doncic's "revenge" game also saw him create a bit of NBA history. The star guard became the first player with 12+ points, 12+ rebounds and 12+ assists in his maiden outing against a former team. 

It's a testament to Doncic that he's making history despite struggling with his shot. On Tuesday, he dazzled the Crypto.com Arena fans with dazzling passes, including a no-look dish to Austin Reaves that led to a three. In the fourth quarter alone, he made three passes to LeBron James, leading to three easy baskets. He also collected key offensive boards to give his teammates multiple scoring opportunities. 

To the surprise of many, Doncic also held his own on the defensive end. Kyrie Irving shot 4-of-11 when matched up with Doncic, and Max Christie went 1-of-6 when checked by the new Lakers star. Doncic's defense played a key role in Dallas shooting a paltry 35.7 percent overall and 38.6 percent from three over 48 minutes of action. 

By his high standards, Doncic is off to a sluggish start as a Laker. In five games thus far, he's averaging 19.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists at 38/25/75 shooting splits. Yet, he's leaving his imprint with his IQ and intangibles, proving why he's a generational talent.
