Luka Doncic’s remarkable leadership has propelled the Dallas Mavericks to unprecedented success, earning recognition from NBA veteran Dwight Howard and others alike.
Howard, host of the podcast “Above the Rim,” admitted to underestimating Doncic’s abilities in the past but acknowledged his error as the Mavericks surged ahead in the playoffs. Speaking on his podcast, Howard expressed remorse, stating, “Luka, I am sorry… you kill it, bro.”
The podcast segment highlighted Doncic’s outstanding regular season statistics, boasting near triple-double averages of 33.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 9.2 assists. Doncic’s stellar performance earned him a spot on the All-NBA First Team for the sixth time.
Luka Doncic may have the highest contract in NBA history
With Doncic’s impressive accolades and impact on the court, speculation arises regarding his future contract with the Mavericks. Reports suggest he could potentially sign a historic supermax agreement, earning up to $70 million in a single season. ESPN expert Bobby Marks estimates the deal’s total worth could reach $346.3 million.
However, due to NBA regulations, Doncic cannot sign the supermax deal until 2024, after completing seven years of service. Despite the delay, Doncic’s undeniable talent and contributions to the Mavericks ensure his status as a franchise cornerstone, with anticipation building for his potential record-breaking contract signing in 2025.
