Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic perfectly executed an incredible trick, calling for a “rebound” moments before taking the long-distance jump shot.
Cameras caught Doncic saying “rebound” to teammate Dereck Lively II, who was holding an NBA TV microphone. The Slovenian star then sent the ball into the net from well beyond the left hash and close to the sideline.
The high shot bounced off the paint and into the basket, just as the five-time All-Star had predicted.
Doncic has converted a lot more than tricks this season. He averages nearly a triple-double per game with 34.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and a mind-blowing 9.5 assists in 47 games.
His heroics throughout the season have led the Mavericks to a 32-23 record heading into the All-Star break. Dallas currently sits in seventh place in the Western Conference.
