After winning Game 4, the Mavericks showered Luka Doncic with praise.

Luka Doncic leads the Dallas Mavericks in every way.

Unquestionably, the team’s triumph over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 preserved the season demonstrated this truth. In just 33 minutes, which is all you need to play when you dish out the third-worst loss in NBA Finals history, Doncic scored 29 points. He was amazing.

He is, as far as most people who donned blue and white on Friday night are concerned, the straw that stirs the liquid.

To put it simply, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd stated after the game, “He was Luka.” “He was Luka. There was just one Luka in the world. He was a really good player. He was excellent.

Despite our desire to be critical of him, he is among the greatest players in the world and a fantastic player.After Game 3, Doncic fouled out of the game, yelled at his own bench to contest the call, and made a crass gesture at the referee, he was met with a barrage of criticism.

Despite posting strong stats, he was called immature and self-centered, accused of “wetting the bed,” and was made the scapegoat for all of Dallas’ failings.

After Game 4, though, things were different. He was once again the team’s wunderkind, winning accolades from every colleague who walked up to the podium after the victory. “He responded very well. I expected it,” Kyrie Irving said, according to a transcript provided by the league.

“I think a lot of people expected it that have seen Luka and known Luka — just didn’t know how it was going to happen. He made some things happen tonight that I was very proud of him. He grew.”

It’s unclear which Doncic will appear in Game 5. Will he perform admirably and receive all the praise, or will he struggle and be held responsible for another season ending without The Larry O’Brien Trophy?

Although it’s easier said than done, as we saw on Friday, the Celtics will do their hardest to achieve the latter.
