By now we all know Dallas Mavs star Luka Doncic likes to have fun with his pregame warmups and try some ridiculous trick shots from behind the hoop to get things going for him.
Well, what he did before Monday night’s Sixers-Mavs game in Dallas was pretty silly. I mean, this was beyond next-level stuff. This was the stuff of pure absurdity.
And it was very successful.
Doncic, who has shown off his soccer skills before, juggled the ball a few times with his feet then knocked it off his shoulder before turning around and calmly sinking a shot from behind the hoop.

I can’t decide if I want @nyknicks or @SpursOfficial to sign him. https://t.co/dIaYuP9z3o
