In his rookie season, Luka Doncic surprised the NBA and quickly emerged as one of the game’s young superstars. One of the seminal moments of his rookie season came in a game against LeBron James and the Lakers. James found an angle to the basket and cut. Brandon Ingram found him and passed to him under the basket. Doncic, who anticipated the pass, snuck behind James, and as Lebron elevated to shoot, Luka blocked his shot. James recovered the ball and shot it back up, only to be blocked again.
Warriors fans remember well how Chris Weber went behind the back and dunked on Charles Barkley in his rookie season and how Tim Hardaway famously crossovered Isaiah Thomas in his maiden voyage.
