Luka Doncic Matches Kobe Bryant With Incredible Scoring Streak in Win Over Grizzlies

Doncic Joins Lakers Legend Bryant

Doncic was asked a loaded question about the Lakers all-time great, who died in a January 26, 2020 helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.

Doncic joined the five-time NBA championship winning Lakers great with a string of 40-plus point performances.

"You're the first Laker to average 45 for three straight games since Kobe back in 2007...Is there a number, like, is 40 points per game a sustainable goal for you, number for you?" Doncic was asked.

"Ah, that's gonna be tough, but like I say, you know, sometimes they're gonna double me more, sometimes I won't be able to score that much," Doncic said.

"I had some, three or four shots that were crazier shots than I felt like doing, but they were terrible shots, so I gotta, like I said before I gotta work on that," Doncic said.

He was told that his teammate Austin Reaves said that about his shots, to which he had a cheeky response.

"Austin's stupid," Doncic replied.

Reaves, Doncic Combine to Bury Memphis

Reaves and Doncic combined for 65 points on the night as both players scored more points individually than any Grizzlies player.

Doncic scored 44 on the heels of 49 and 43 point games, constituting a 45.3 points per game average over the last three contests.

Doncic and Reaves' chemistry is off the charts, and the Lakers are winning ballgames.

The biggest question on most Lakers fans' minds now is whether it will continue when LeBron James returns from injury, or whether the two young stars will have to take a back seat to James when he finally makes his way back into LA's lineup.
