Luka Doncic scored an impressive 73 points in a game last season, leading to significant changes in NBA officiating towards more physical play to reduce high scores. Tim MacMahon, a seasoned ESPN writer, has been closely following Doncic's career since his arrival in the NBA. His new book, "The Wonder Boy: Luka Doncic and the Curse of Greatness," discusses Doncic's major contributions to the Mavericks, including their journey to the NBA finals. A recent trade that sent Doncic to the Lakers introduces new complexity to his story, emphasizing the evolving nature of his career and the league.
The league subsequently decided to change officiating to favor more physical play that would presumably cut down on high offensive output, thus affecting scoring outcomes.
Despite changes in the rules meant to reduce high scoring, Doncic's unique skill set ensures he remains a standout offensive player in the league.
Therefore, even with a trade to the Lakers on the horizon, Doncic's influence on the game and his immense talent remains unquestionable.
MacMahon's new book outlines the complexities of Doncic's career and personal attributes while navigating the delicate balance of criticism and praise.
