During the Lakers' eight-game winning streak, Luka Doncic has averaged 40.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists while scoring at least 30 in every game – something no Laker, including Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, or Magic Johnson, has ever done.
Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic is putting up historic numbers during the team's current eight-game winning streak – production the franchise has never seen before.

"Did you know that Luka Doncic is averaging 40.9 points and 7.4 assists? Did you know that what he has done over this eight-game span that no Laker has ever done in history? Not Shaquille O'Neal, not Kobe Bryant, not Magic Johnson, nobody," ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith noted.
"Luka got 100 points over the last two games," he added. "In each game of this eight-game winning streak, he has scored a minimum of 30. It ain't like he scored 50 one day and 20 the other. No, he's consistently scoring over 30 every single damn game."
Doncic's recent surge has also propelled him up the NBA MVP Ladder. He climbed four spots – from sixth to second – after averaging an incredible 40.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists over the last eight games.
He now trails only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Over 58 games this season, Luka has averaged a league-leading 33.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game. This campaign marks his first full season with the Lakers.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles sits third in the Western Conference with a 45-25 record.
