Luka Doncic pulled up in style to Game 3 of the Mavericks' 101-90 win over the Clippers on Friday.

As part of a campaign to promote his upcoming Jordan Luka 3 sneakers, the Mavericks star arrived in a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro adorned with a stunning pink and purple color sequence. The sweet ride was also emblazoned with Doncic's No. 77 on each side and the Air Jordan logo on the trunk.

We always anticipate his arrival ️

The entrance was a nod to Michael Jordan's Midnight Racer entrances for the Bulls in the 1990s. Like Jordan, Doncic was greeted by security guards wearing Air Jordan jackets.

Amazingly, a fan came side-to-side with the vehicle as Doncic drove to the American Airlines Arena in Dallas for Game 3.

Imagine just randomly driving by Luka Doncic

Doncic is averaging 29 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.0 assists through the first three games of the playoff series against the Clippers. The Slovenian star has been widely praised for his commitment to defense, especially since he's been regarded as a liability on that end of the floor in previous years.
