Luka Doncic drops 51 points on Spurs after Gregg Popovich promises to keep him under 50
Luka Doncic is on a roll right now. The Slovenian superstar dropped career-high 60 points against the Knicks just a few of days ago and now he needed just 37 minutes to score 51 against the Spurs.
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich made comment a couple of days ago, promising to keep Doncic under 50 points when he faces his team. “50 is going to be our goal,” Pop said. “We’re holding Luka under 50.”
Popovich was reminded of his quote before the game. “I said that, didn’t I?” he laughed. “I think the next day… was it next day he got 60 or two days later something like that?
“It’s unbelievable this guy. He’s something else. We all talk about him and you look at him and if you walked in the room, you wouldn’t say ‘No, he’s not.’
“He’s just a beautiful basketball player. He’s like a prototype for high basketball IQ and high skill level all rolled into one guy. And he’s very special, very special.”
“If he can play for a good number of years, he’ll be one of the great players for sure.”
