Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic made just two dunks last season, highlighting his lack of athleticism.
This significant drop in dunks marks a sharp contrast from his rookie year when Doncic recorded 24 dunks during the 2018-19 season.
According to Basketball Forever on X, Doncic’s total dunks have steadily decreased every season since he was drafted. The decline is even more striking given Doncic’s height of 6’7″.
Despite his unathletic reputation, Doncic remains one of the most dominant players in the NBA.
Last season, he averaged an impressive 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game while playing 37.5 minutes per game.
Doncic’s game is built on skill, basketball IQ, and exceptional playmaking rather than raw athleticism.
His ability to control the pace of the game and create opportunities for himself and his teammates has made him a force to be reckoned with.
The decrease in dunks reflects a shift in Doncic’s playing style as he focuses more on efficiency and finesse.
While many NBA stars are known for their high-flying dunks, Doncic’s success comes from his unique approach to the game.
