Dallas beat San Antonio 104:99 last night, with another brilliant game by Luka Doncic, who scored 25 points, 10 of which came in the last quarter when the match was breaking.
In the end, he received praise that he will remember, not for the first time, but Gregg Popovich, the legendary coach of the Spurs, was especially inspired this time.
"Imagine if Yugoslavia is still together and all these guys are in the same team. That would be really exciting... Dončić reminds me of that - every new player who appears in that area becomes great. I also remember the time of Divac, Paspalj, Kukoc and Petrovic. All those guys played together at the same time and they were great," said Popovic.
The famous Pop is somewhat surprised that such a great player was born in small Slovenia...
"I know he didn't play on courts like in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles, where there is a lot of competition. Americans often forget that. It's very interesting and wonderful to see that such a small country like Slovenia has a great and great basketball player," added Popović.
"It was a real pleasure to watch Luka. I love his emotions. Sometimes he gets angry, sometimes he laughs to tears and enjoys both the penetration and the hit shot. He is really funny," Popovic concluded.
