Luka Doncic will make his NBA Finals debut on Thursday night (8:30 ET, ABC), when the Dallas Mavericks face the Boston Celtics.
The Mavericks guard leads the postseason in points (489), rebounds (164) and assists (150). That makes him the first player to lead in all three categories heading into a Finals in NBA history.
At 25 years old, Doncic's individual accolades are impressive. He has five All-Star appearances and five All-NBA first-team nods. But a major blemish was his lack of success in the postseason. He had reached the Western Conference finals only once prior to this season.
