Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic celebrated his 21st birthday in Miami on Friday, and it looks like the new Mavs franchise player had a great time.

Despite losing to the Miami Heat earlier in the day, Luka didn't let it ruin his night. Apparently, he partied with teammate JJ Barea, along with Puerto Rican rapper Anuel and singer Bad Bunny.

However, it is worth noting that Luka Doncic doesn’t see turning 21 as that big of a deal since adulthood for him started when he turned 18.

Doncic has taken the NBA world by storm, similar to how LeBron James did when he was a youngster with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The reigning Rookie of the Year said last season he was surprised how well he played, but he has far exceeded his play last year as he is now an MVP candidate and the new face of the Mavs franchise in the post-Dirk Nowitzki era.

Luka is averaging 28.6 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists on the season for the Mavs while shooting 46.3 percent from the field, 31.9 percent from beyond the arc and 76.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Dallas is 36-24 on the season. They are in seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

Barring a late season collapse, the Mavs appear on their way to making the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Basketball fans are anxious to see Doncic and fellow All-Star big man Kristaps Porzingis on the NBA’s biggest stage.

Assuming he stays healthy, Doncic figures to dominate the NBA for the next decade or so. Mavs fans are hoping Luka and Porzingis can deliver a championship to Dallas just like Nowitzki did.
