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

.

One more sign of the enormous precocity of his career.

Doncic closed the season with 28.8 points (sixth leading scorer), 9.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists (third in the league) and signed 17 triple-doubles (also the youngest in history to lead this category).

Only the games of the regular phase

until the suspension on March 11

were taken into account for the season awards

.

However, Luka Doncic has also endorsed his great performance in the Orlando bubble, crowned by that great fourth game of the tie against the Clippers, with 43 points, 17 rebounds, 13 assists and a triple winner on the horn of extra time. .. Playing injured ankle.

Lebron, historical

As Luka Doncic racks up precocious records, LeBron James rubs shoulders with history.

For the Los Angeles Lakers player, this is

the 16th time in his career

that he has been chosen in one of the three ideal teams of the season (13 in the first, two in the second and one in the third).

He thus breaks the tie he had with Duncan and two other gold and purple legends, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kobe Bryant.

In the

Second All Round

are Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers), Chris Paul (OKC Thunder), Kawhi Leonard (Los Angeles Clippers), Pascal Siakam (Toronto Raptors) and Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets).

While

the third

is made up of Russell Westbrok (Houston Rockets), Ben Simmons (Philadelphia 76ers), Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics), Jimmy Butler (Miami Heat) and Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz).
