Luka Doncic nearly broke an Olympic record in his scorching Slovenia debut

We knew Luka Doncic was amazing, with the ability to be a one-man wrecking crew who could do it all in the NBA.

But how would the 22-year-old fare in his first Olympics with Team Slovenia?

The answer came in a 118-100 win over Argentina. Doncic put together an all-time unreal performance in just his first game on the Olympic stage with 48 points, 11 boards, five dimes and three blocks. He shot 18-of-29, including 6-of-14 from deep.

I mean … whaaaaaaaaaat?! Mind-blowing. Absurd. I’m going to run out of adjectives if I keep it up.

And guess what? He approached the record for most points in an Olympics game IN JUST HIS FIRST CONTEST!!

Wow.
