Jason Kidd, head coach of Luka Doncic: ‘This kid never gives up’

In the NBA, Dallas Mavericks’ Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic has signed a performance that will go down in history against the New York Knicks. Completing the game with astonishing statistics such as 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists, Doncic became the first player in NBA history to reach 60 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists in a game.

In addition, the Slovenian star, who carried the game into overtime with his last-second basket in normal time, suddenly became the top of the basketball agenda with this amazing performance.

Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd made statements at the press conference after his team’s 121-126 victory in overtime.

Talking about Luka Doncic’s performance, Kidd praised the Slovenian star:

“We are all still in shock, Luka Doncic is a very special player. The history of basketball is written by the players, not the coaches. Today, we witnessed a performance that will go down in history. Luka signed off on a job that no player has ever done before. This kid never gives up, you can see this easily on the field. No matter what, he continues to struggle on the field and thus encourages his teammates. In the victory we got today, not only Luka, but the whole team had a great effort.

As a coach, I’ve been lucky to be able to sit in my seat and watch what Luka is doing on the pitch, we have to give him full credit for what he’s done. I think people who paid money to watch Luke in this hall got more than their money’s worth. Every match he plays puts on a big show for the audience. Besides, he plays to win every match and never admits defeat. For a coach, having players with that kind of character in the locker room is invaluable.”

Luka Doncic, who has played a total of 31 games in the NBA so far this season, is struggling with averages of 32.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. (Eurohoops)
