Luka Doncic has officially made it.
Jimmy Butler had a big game for the Miami Heat in their 137-106 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. He scored a season-high 38 points and did it all in three quarters.
In his postgame interview, Butler said he “felt like Luka (Doncic) out there.”

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban liked Butler’s reference to Doncic and tweeted about it.

Doncic has been out with an ankle injury but is averaging 28.8 points per game for Dallas this season. He has made quick work of his opponents on numerous occasions, and even put up a historic performance in a single quarter earlier this year.
When your name is cited as the benchmark for dominance, you know you’ve made it.
