WATCH: Luka Doncic puts Cam Johnson in a blender
The 2022 NBA Playoffs are in full swing and on Wednesday night the Dallas Mavericks were battling the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference semifinals. Luka Doncic is one of the best basketball players on the planet and tonight he’s showing why. The superstar put the moves on former North Carolina star Cam Johnson. Doncic put Johnson in the spin cycle with a variety of moves, leaving the Suns shooting guard trying to figure out what just happened. Not only that, Doncic then proceeded to go at Johnson, draw the foul, and score the bucket. Once he made the bucket, he had to hit the camera with a stare down and a flex.
Check it out here.
Doncic has already stuffed the stat sheet with 24 points, four rebounds, and six assists in Game 2 and it’s only halftime. He’s connected on 9-of-14 shots from the field. At the break, the Mavs currently lead the Suns 60-58.
The Suns currently lead the series 1-0. Obviously if the Mavs want to come back in the series, they’ll need Doncic to play like the superstar that he is. Even then, it still might not be enough. The Suns won Game 1, 121-114. Doncic erupted for 45 points in that one in a losing effort.
Doncic’s move on Cam Johnson tonight set social media ablaze, not surprisingly. He’s a near impossible player to guard and that’s precisely why he’s one of the best players in the world. This season, he’s averaging 28.4 points per game, 9.1 rebounds per game, and 8.7 assists per game. Simply put, if he keeps this pace up, he’ll likely be a Hall-of-Famer once it comes time to hang up his sneakers. Not only is he one of the best scorers in the game, but he’s one of the most complete players in the game, as well.
