Luka Doncic Reacts to his 73-Point Performance vs Hawks, Full Postgame Interview

Luca um first of all congratulations on the win but the anniversary of Kobe’s death today and to be able to perform like that when the NBA is um celebrating his life like how special is that it’s amazing man it’s very special I you know

Uh you know we all love K man it’s a it was a big tragedy can’t believe it’s all it’s been 4 years already so it’s special you know to feel on the same day uh but obviously I wish he was here when when you’re hot like that is is it one

Of those things where like I ask um coach Jason kid like kind of go away from the game plan not purposely but just because everything’s flowing like it is whether you’re scoring or passing I mean I think it’s hard uh but you know uh we trying to win

The game uh that will double me the whole time in this four quarter I think so you know uh sometimes you just got to make the right play and uh have trust in your teammates when you got it going like that what’s going on anything going

On in your head at that time me not really uh just excited you know um just excited it’s not really going on but just you know sometimes you just can’t believe it that first half I mean that sometimes amaz you that got that many points time of the game

Well I think that was the record for me so uh it was special for sure you know uh but like I say you know we were trying to win the game so that was great was there a point I don’t whether it was during warm-ups or halfway through the

First quarter or a stretch of shots where you just where you realized that this could be a special night I mean I don’t know maybe after I had 41 in the first maybe that then but you know you never really know you know sometimes you feel great sometimes you don’t cuz today

You know in my warmups I missed a lot of shots so you never know and how how were teammates reacting towards you like during timeouts did you sense that they were any different uh maybe not wanting to jinx anything no I mean but they were amazing man uh they were amazing through

Throughout the whole game especially the end you know in the locker room so that that means a lot to me that they’re really special for me look at you now on the Mount Rushmore uh most points scored in a single game joining wil Kobe and David Thompson is this something that you will

Set in later or you saw to the next and thinking about the next game I mean we have less than 24 hours till the next game so I got to recover man uh but no those names are special man it’s it’s unbelievable uh you know uh it just

Feels special to be in that conversation with those those names Jason Jason talked about you know just how you’re you know even deep into the fourth quarter you’re passing obviously they’re sending hard doubles at you um you know what what did how different was the game when they were literally

Doubling you in the back court and you know like how do you adjust to that I mean just when they double pass the ball you know we had uh we try to put him in the corner uh because we all know when he gets in the corner he’s going to make

Nine out of 10 uh but just play out of it to take the paint and and going get a great shot and then uh what happened when you uh you could like it could have been 75 tonight you called for an alleyoop I think at one point quter I

Wasn’t there if I was running that would be different I don’t know Josh Josh let you call for it oh that was yeah no no I can’t I was standing so I couldn’t jump L I think you made up for it the the game ceiling three uh you made a pass to

Dante you could have taken that shot yourself but instead you made the right pass and he hit the shot and basically ended the game I was in Liana recently and I actually played on your court it was great playing with some uh Slovenian guys and what I really noticed though

Was even a pickup ball these guys are passing the ball a lot how much was it emphasized to you when you were growing up with obvious significant individual talent to still be the good teammate and make the right pass at the right time yeah it was big uh you know I remember

Playing that Court uh every afternoon after school uh it didn’t look that nice before um but it was sometimes they didn’t allow me to play because I was like 11 10 uh but they were like uh 20 plus so sometimes they didn’t allow me

To play uh but just out of day you know they’re physical uh you know you learn the game like that so luk just just you’re talking about as well before the game you you didn’t know if was going on but you lost a bet to uh your fellow Balan friend Bogdan bogdanovich you

Missed that halfcourt shot and had to hit the five push-ups was that something maybe that got you going playing against someone from that same area you’re from uh I mean it’s always special to play guys that you know especially Bon we have great relationship uh but no the

Pushers were with the coaches we B on something else but I lost yeah so Luca of course you were drafted by the Hawks in the third quarter maybe the fourth the fans started cheering it’s you know when you saw the 60 and the 70 how did

They feel to hear the cheers from the Atlanta Crowd Oh it was great man uh you know I could have been here uh uh but I think it did benefit for the both sides I actually saw one fan were in Atlanta jersey with 77 so I was laughing

So Luka it was good to score that that amount of points in this Arena you set the record for this Arena but just because you’re tied to Trey Young and the Hawks to do that in this arena in front of this crowd is it is it more of

A bigger deal to you or is is it just a big deal no matter what I mean I think it’s a big deal but you know uh there’s always going to be trades uh in conversation when you come back to one place that could I have you you know you

Always have maybe some more special thing to it so maybe it was more special yeah Dev Booker scored 62 points tonight and then you see what embiid and um cat did on Monday night can you just speak about the NBA and where it is right now I mean it’s you have some amazing

Players man there’s so much talent in the NBA uh I don’t think you have ever been this much talent I don’t know because I didn’t watch NBA before but obviously you have great names uh but you have so much talent in in in the game that it’s just insane you like to the

TT oh yeah that was great time that was great time look at Josh Green said he he missed it cuz he was talking to radio about what happened in the locker room after the game what was the celebration like oh it was water and then Tim to the

Ice stop at me so I almost had a heart attack thank you
