There are things that Luka Doncic can accomplish on a basketball court that quite literally nobody else could even dream about.
He reminded us he can do exactly that during a much-needed win for the Mavericks over the Pacers. After a nightmarish stretch for Dallas, the 24-year-old superstar delivered one of his most impressive highlights of the season thus far.
After chasing down an errant pass late in the third quarter, Doncic was trapped by Indiana’s TJ McConnell and Andrew Nembhard. Although he seemed as if he were stuck on the sideline, he fired an improbable pass to find wide-open rookie Jaden Hardy in the corner.

Hardy knocked down the 3-pointer and despite the wizardry, everyone else just had to continue playing a normal basketball game after this possession as if nothing magical had just happened.
But we’re not going to act like we didn’t see a life-changing pass! So we’re going to show you every single angle of the possession:

Now that you’ve taken some time to digest and process what you just saw, we’ve got great news for you! There are more angles you haven’t seen yet.
This was captured by a fan who filmed the throw from courtside seats:

After the game, Hardy admitted that even he didn’t think Doncic was going to find him on that assist. It made him even more inspired to knock down the 3-pointer.
Doncic says he doesn’t “really know how” he did it and admitted it was “one of the best passes” he has ever made in his life so far. We have to agree with him — and so does LeBron James!
