"HE'S AVERAGING 40!" 😭 Luka Doncic's start to this season is generational. After scoring 53 points in a 124-118 win over the Blazers on Friday, he's averaging 40.1 points per game through nine games, the most points through nine games of a season since Wilt Chamberlain in 1962. It was his 11th career 50-point game and his fourth as a Laker, and he scored 20 in the third quarter alone. He's now scored 40 or more in four straight games, joining Elgin Baylor, Kobe Bryant, and George Mikan as the only Lakers to do that in the regular season. He also tied Oscar Robertson's NBA record with seven straight games of 35 points, five rebounds, and five assists, and the Lakers are 8-2 and have won four in a row. We're watching history. Is Luka putting together the best offensive season we've seen in the last 20 years?
