Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic just took a page off James Harden's playbook to shock the Los Angeles Clippers and everyone watching Game 2 of their series.

In the closing seconds of the third quarter and with Rajon Rondo guarding him, Luka decided to show off his elite skills. The Mavs star proved he is not all about step-backs from long-range and that he can also do the one-legged 3-pointer that Harden popularized.

Seeing it in exhibition games is one thing, but doing it in an actual game–particularly in the playoffs–is just another level of crazy.

However, this is Luka Doncic we are talking about. He has magic in his veins, and we can just assume his latest exploit is just a result of his wizardry. There's just no other explanation for it.

Doncic has been an unstoppable force for the Mavs so far, leading Dallas to a Game 1 victory with a triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. While the plan for the Clippers was to let Kawhi Leonard have more defensive coverages on the Slovenian youngster in Game 2, that strategy simply didn't work.

If the Clippers don't fine a quick solution to their Luka problem, the Mavs point guard will have no problem showing off his magic in the series.
