There is now a very good chance that the Dallas Mavericks make the NBA Finals in a few weeks.
And if that happens, it’ll be because of Luka Doncic and his miraculous three-point shot during Friday night’s Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The shot garnered a ton of respect and and celebration from fans all over the league and many other NBA icons too.
For example, Paul Pierce was elated by Doncic’s shot.
“OMG Lucka ultimate closer,” Pierce tweeted, perhaps purposely misspelling his name to symbolize just how lucky he is.

Doncic is definitely lucky, but he’s also talented.
He has made a name for himself as one of the best three-pointer shooters in the league.
He has also made a name for himself as a great closer, someone who can do magical things with the ball in the final seconds of the game.
There are plenty of videos of him performing circus-like shots, mostly during practices.
It shows that Doncic can do just about anything on the basketball court and there is never a time he should be counted out.
As great as the shot was, the real question is if Doncic and his Mavericks can keep it up and win this series.
Also, if they do, how will they play in the FInals?
Will Doncic be able to score like this against the Boston Celtics, if both teams square off for a championship?
Shots like this are amazing when they go in but if they fall short then they are painful.
Luckily for Doncic, he made it on Friday night and that has now given his team a commanding lead in the series.
