Luka Doncic trying to replicate a feat not achieved since 2000

The previous five scoring champions to go the distance? 

Besides O'Neal in 2000, Michael Jordan 6x (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1971), Wilt Chamberlain (1966) and George Mikan 2x (1949, 1950) went on to win it all. Curry would have joined the club in 2016 if his Warriors had not choked away a 3-1 NBA Finals lead to the Cavaliers. 

Doncic would join some elite company if he were to capture his first NBA title over the next few weeks. It's why Jason Kidd, the head coach of the Mavericks, realizes he's coaching a generational talent, and does not plan to take Doncic's extraordinary talents for granted. 

"You can't take someone so great for granted. A lot of times that's what we do," Kidd said of Doncic ahead of the finals."  

Kidd previously argued that Doncic, 25, was already in the 'same atmosphere' as Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. If Doncic completes the mission against the Celtics, it'd be hard to argue with him.
