Giannis Antetokounmpo: Luka Doncic is one of best scorers of all time

In the first few games of the new NBA season, Luka Doncic has been on a remarkable scoring streak. He is currently averaging 38.3 points per game, shooting an impressive 49.7% from the field and 42.7% from beyond the arc. In addition to his scoring prowess, Doncic is also contributing significantly on the boards with eight rebounds per contest, while also providing solid floor leadership with 8.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

His exceptional performance was on full display during a recent matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Miami Heat, where he delivered a strong 42-point, 13-assist, seven-rebound, and two-steal game in a decisive 138-117 victory.

Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA MVP, acknowledged during the post-game interview that Doncic is undoubtedly among the greatest scorers in the history of the game. Despite the praise, the Milwaukee Bucks' star guard was quick to clarify that he doesn't consider Doncic the best scorer of all time just yet. However, the sentiment is certainly there, as many observers see Doncic as a rare, elite-level talent.

Doncic's improvement in various aspects of his game, including his free-throw accuracy (88.7% this season, up from 78% last season and 75.7% over his career), has contributed to his impressive scoring numbers. With an impressive combined total of 17 turnovers in his first two games this season, Doncic has made strides in minimizing mistakes, leading the league in scoring average and making significant strides in 3-point shooting and field goal attempts.

While the Los Angeles Lakers, led by Doncic, are currently sitting at a 6-2 record, the team still faces some challenges. However, the promising outlook for their season appears to have less to do with Doncic's individual performance and more to do with the overall strength of the roster. Given his age of 27, Doncic still appears to have several years of high-level play ahead of him, further solidifying his status as one of the most talented players in the NBA.
