Luka Doncic had quite a night on Tuesday as the Dallas Mavericks superstar achieved twin feats on what turned out to be a historic evening for him. Doncic not only led the Mavs to a 119-109 victory against the Golden State Warriors in Game 4, but it was also the third time in his career that he was named on the All-NBA first team.
Mavs head coach Jason Kidd spoke out about Doncic's first-team nod and unsurprisingly, the Hall of Fame point guard had nothing but high praise for his superstar:
âWhat he does for this team is incredible,â Kidd said, via ClutchPoints on Twitter. â⊠He's our leader, when he goes, we go. He loves that stafe. Being first team, with the other four, it's a great honor for him.â
"What he does for this team is incredible.. He's our leader, when he goes, we go.. Being first team, with the other 4, it's a great honor for him."

Doncic joins Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, and Devin Booker on the 2021-22 All-NBA first team. That's now three straight years of first-team honors for the Mavs guard out of the four seasons he's been in the league.
Dallas will need every bit of Luka's elite skill as they hope to overcome a gargantuan challenge of being down 0-3 against Stephen Curry and the Warriors. The Mavs have already won one game to cut the deficit to 3-1, but it goes without saying that they still have a very long way to go.
