Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James promised that he'll do everything to stop Luka Doncic's razzmatazz hop skiddily-doo. As funny as that sounds, the Dallas Mavericks have been winning thanks to that specific move that opposing players just cannot stop.

Unfortunately, the King was put on skates as the Slovenian wonderboy unleashed another of his deadly dribbles to create space and sink an impressive stepback 3-pointer to give the Mavs the lead.

It has been a fantastic second year for Luka Doncic thus far.

Any sign of a sophomore slump was nowhere to be found, as he's averaging 25.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists on a 46 percent shooting clip. Alongside Kristaps Porzingis, Luka has led the Mavs to a strong 3-1 start in a crowded Western Conference where there are dynamic duos wherever you look.
