The Los Angeles Lakers and Luka Doncic are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. With Doncic playing at an MVP level, the team is starting to look like a potential championship contender.
Over his last eight games, Doncic has been putting up insane production for the Lakers. He has averaged 40.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game during that stretch.
On Thursday night, Doncic put on a show in a road matchup against the Miami Heat. The Los Angeles superstar went off for 60 points and did so being very efficient.
Doncic scored his 60 points while shooting 18-for-30 from the floor and knocking down nine of his 17 three-point attempts. He also made 15 of his 19 free throw attempts to go along with seven rebounds, three assists, and five steals.
With that being said, Doncic’s play has caught the eye of Lakers legend Magic Johnson.
Magic Johnson Causes Lakers Fan Stir With Latest Luka Doncic Comments
Following Doncic’s 60-point performance against the Heat, Johnson took to social media and made a post on X.
“Luka Doncic is the most unguardable player in the NBA! He scored a season high 60 points in tonight’s win against the Miami Heat. Luka has to be one of the top 2 or 3 players being considered in the MVP race,” Johnson wrote.
Johnson also commented on LeBron James’ impressive play of late.
“LeBron James is also playing out of his mind! He recorded a 19 point, 15 rebound and 10 assist triple double and led the Lakers to a 134-126 win.”
Fans were quick to jump into the comments section of Johnson’s post to let their voices be heard.
NBA Fans Have Taken Notice of Magic’s Luka Doncic Opinion
“A 60-point night from Luka is just ridiculous and LeBron dropping a triple-double at this stage of his career is just as impressive. Two legends doing legendary things,” one fan wrote.
Another fan chimed in, “I’m no Laker, but to me Luka should be neck and neck with Jokic and SGA, if not the leader. Luka is a bucket whether you guard him or not, the result is the same, and he’s still a willing passer.”
“Magic you know greatness when you see it Luka is a problem and LeBron is still that guy,” a third comment read.
A fourth said, “He’s been the best player in the league for the last 3 years and nobody gives him his flowers! You guys push Edwards or SGA and neither are caliber of player Luka is!”
“LUKA IS THE UNANIMOUS MVP, MAGIC ! WAKE UP BRO!” a fifth comment said.
Next up for Doncic and the Lakers will be a Saturday night matchup on the road against the Orlando Magic. Fans are sure to be dialed in to see what the Slovenian superstar has in store following his 60-point night.
