Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic has been nothing short of spectacular. The Mavs rookie has wowed everyone across the league and really has shaken off the naysayers.

Wednesday evening in the late stretch in a game versus the New Orleans Pelicans, the fans began to shout “MVP” as Doncic took free throws.

You can hear the chants below:

Luka Doncic has had a very solid rookie campaign and is fighting Deandre Ayton for the Rookie of the Year crown. On the season, he's averaging 19.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game while shooting 43 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from deep.

He's such a good playmaker and unselfish player. His pick and roll game with Mavs big man DeAndre Jordan is one of the best combos in the entire NBA. He hits stepback threes with a fervor only matched by James Harden himself. The NBA is on notice.

In Scott Davis' article for Business Insider, Doncic reaped praises coming from a few big NBA names:

“He’s got a good feel for the game.” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. “He reads situations well, and he knows that, before the game is over, he’ll have the ball in his hands enough. He plays beyond his years in terms of reading things, mixing aggression and unselfishness.”

“He’s polished. He’s skilled.” According to Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors. “You can tell that he played professional basketball already, and they’ve got a great guy in him to lead this franchise in the future.”

Luka Doncic is now respected across the entire NBA. Coaches and superstars alike appreciate what the 19-year-old brings to the table. Those MVP chants are coming a little soon, but they aren't unwarranted. Doncic has impressed.

The Mavs are now 16-17 on the season and are sitting 12th in the NBA's Western Conference. They will play the New Orleans Pelicans next at the Smoothie King Center this upcoming Friday.
