The season is over for the Dallas Mavericks, but Luka Doncic continues to add achievements to his career.
At just 21 years old and in his second season in the NBA, the Slovenian has been selected in the First Ideal Five of the Year along with the league's staff:
LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis and James Harden.
Doncic is
the third youngest player in history to win this award
, at 21 years and 168 days.
In fact, he would have been the youngest of all time had it not been for the pandemic.
Had the season ended as planned on April 15, he would have surpassed LeBron James (21 years and 110 days) and Max Zaflosfsky (21 and 114, albeit in 1947, still under the BAA designation).
The Slovenian is also the first freshman or sophomore to receive this recognition
since Tim Duncan in 1999

Lebron, historical
As Luka Doncic racks up precocious records, LeBron James rubs shoulders with history.
For the Los Angeles Lakers player, this is
