The season the entire NBA surrendered to Doncic: what's the next step?

• Doncic says goodbye in a big way

• Morris - Expelled for assaulting Doncic again

The towel on his head, the contained rage, that bitter taste of effort without reward.

This time there were no tears, like that game against Darussafaka in which he had to be consoled by Pablo Laso on the WiZink bench.

Or when he was injured in the Eurobasket final.

Maybe because he's of age or, more likely, because no one could think of failure after

in Game 6 of the first-round series.

Luka Doncic said goodbye disappointed to his second season in the NBA, despite the logic of the outcome, despite the thunderous horizon and, above all, despite his deployment for history.

It is the spirit of the insatiable.

If it's time to take stock, it could be concluded that Doncic hit the top.

That from now on he has to reign.

He was always about being ahead of the rest, used to competing against older boys since his first training session with

lasted a quarter of an hour.

Grega Brezovec, the coach to whom that eight-year-old pearl fell, immediately sent him with the 12-year-olds. It was always like that, also when he arrived at Madrid at 13 years old.

He climbed so fast that he ran into the best in the world before he was 20, champion of everything already in Europe.

The novelty is that it no longer only breaks precocious records (more points than anyone else, 42, in the playoff debut).

Now he speaks directly to the best of all time.

For example, only

had a postseason game with 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.

As Doncic did in the fourth of the series against the stunned Clippers of two of the best players on the planet, both in position, also jealous defenders.

That work of art culminated with a triple on the horn of extra time against Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, with a shattered ankle, was one of the moments of the summer, a rumor on the beaches on the other side of the world where the blue shirts with the 77 they conquered the teenagers.

Because Doncic, born in Slovenia, with Serbian origins, raised in Spain and star in the USA, is a global 'trendic topic'.

Until the stoppage due to the virus, in which he took the opportunity to rest and train in Ljubljana, Luka had already taken the corresponding steps to consider his progression in a great line after a first course in which, how could it be otherwise, he conquered the Rookie of the year.

, was named Player of the Month for the first time (November) and made 17 triple-doubles, more than anyone in the league.

Collectively, he had the Mavericks, debuting with Porzingis, in playoff spots, something that had not happened in Dallas since 2016.

In the bubble, especially in the series against the Clippers, he raised the bar again.

Not only did he raise his numbers (31 points, 9.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 50% shooting ...), he demonstrated extremely high competitive courage, fighting without Porzingis against an impossible.

Today the world surrenders at his feet, despite the goodbye to Disney.

A little more.

"It was his first playoffs, he fought in every minute he was on the court, he

, he led his team in every game and he did a spectacular job," Leonard, MVP of the last Finals, surrendered.

His coach, Rick Carlisle, listed him with names of gods: “He's one of the toughest players I've seen in this league in the last 35 or 40 years.

He will return next year being even better with something new in his game, like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan or those greats did every summer.

Luka is an irreplaceable enthusiast, it is difficult to take him off the court.

We are very fortunate to have him.

In 2012, with one year less than the rest and already testing in Madrid, he fell in the final of the Minicopa.

The following year it would devastate.

He also knew what the troubles were in the Euroleague, when, at the age of 18, in Istanbul he lost a Final Four against Fenerbahçe.

The following year he would be the absolute protagonist and winner in Belgrade.

His precociousness did not save him from collective troubles, but he learned from all of them.

reflected as soon as he finished his second NBA course.

Because in his mind, he only imagines one destination: "My goal is always to be champion."
