One of the top players in the NBA is now Luka Doncic, a star player for the Dallas Mavericks. For the previous few years, he has therefore continuously been considered one of the league's best players. This is evidence of his obvious talent and shooting prowess, which have recently caused him to become well-known.

Luka Doncic demonstrated his remarkable shooting skills in a video that is now buzzing on the internet. He was seen attempting several trick shots, both long- and short-range, in the video that FIBA's X account posted. His colleagues watched in shock as each shot he made was successful in getting the ball inside the hoop.

Watch here the video:

During Slovenia's Olympic qualifying campaign at the time, Doncic was participating in a training session. As the team's talisman, the 25-year-old was given a great deal of responsibility throughout the competition in Greece. He scored three straight triple-doubles in Slovenia's victories over New Zealand and Croatia.

In the semifinal game, despite his best efforts, he could not stop Greece and Giannis Antetokounmpo from smashing them 96-68. With 7 of 14 shots, the Mavericks star scored a game-high 21 points. Doncic set his eyes on the Olympics, one of the greatest accomplishments for any sportsman. But in the end, that dream came to an end.

Luka Doncic played for Real Madrid 

Doncic has developed steadily since the Atlanta Hawks selected him in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft. That season, he was selected third overall, but he proved his worth right away, winning Rookie of the Year.

He did, however, have professional basketball experience in Europe before joining the league. The point guard debuted for the Spanish squad Real Madrid BC three years prior. By doing so, at 16 years, 2 months, and 2 days old, he became the youngest player to ever play for the team.
