NBA fans lose their minds over insane Luka Doňcić scoreboard trick shot

NBA fans were sent into a frenzy by Luka Doňcić’s latest incredible trick shot, a skill he has become well-known for as a star player for the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks, seeded sixth, made the trip to Houston to face off against the Rockets, who were seeded 11th. This important game held significant implications for the NBA Playoffs.

Prior to the start of the game, Luka Doňcić delved into his repertoire of skills and successfully made an incredible shot off the massive scoreboard positioned above mid-court.

Despite being in the midst of Dallas warmups, Doňcić can be seen standing under the basket in the clip. Suddenly, with no warning, the five-time NBA All-Star tosses the ball high into the air.

The ball careened off the side of the scoreboard, bounced off the backboard, and made its way through the hoop, causing a deafening roar from the opposing Houston fans.
