Luka Doncic poised to overtake Steph Curry in historically exclusive NBA accolade club

Luka Doncic is widely recognized as one of the most talented players in the NBA at the moment. Since being drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in 2018, the team has consistently performed well. Doncic’s exceptional abilities have not gone unnoticed, as he has been selected for the All-NBA team on multiple occasions.

Remarkably, since the 2019-20 season, the Slovenian sensation has consistently made the First Team All-NBA and is on track to secure his fifth consecutive selection after this season. Doncic’s achievements surpass those of established veterans in the league, such as Golden State Warriors’ sharpshooter Steph Curry.

Despite being 36 years old, Curry has amassed an impressive nine All-NBA Team selections throughout his career. Four of these selections have been for the First Team, while the remaining four were for the Second Team. Additionally, he was selected once for the Third Team. At only 25 years old, the European star shows promise for earning even more First Team nods in the future, potentially adding to his current total of four.

However, Curry has achieved various accomplishments that Doncic has yet to attain. The point guard for the Warriors has earned back-to-back MVP titles, with a unanimous victory in 2016. He has also guided his team to four championship victories and received a Finals MVP award. Additionally, as a 10-time All-Star, he has been honored with a Western Conference MVP award.

Despite being on different paths to success, Doncic is poised for a bright future and is expected to have a unique journey to achieving victories, unlike Curry. Currently, he boasts an impressive record of five All-Star selections, four All-NBA selections, and even holds an award that eluded the Warriors superstar, Rookie of the Year.

Luka Doncic Continues Dominance with Back-to-Back Player of the Week and Month Honors

Despite facing tough competition, Luka Doncic has proven to be exceptional this season, ranking second in NBA.com’s MVP ladder. Under his leadership, the Mavericks have secured the fifth spot in the Western Conference, setting them up for a strong performance in the upcoming 2024 NBA Playoffs.

Following the conclusion of the previous week, Doncic was once again recognized as the Player of the Week for the West. He maintained an impressive average of 32.5 points, 11 rebounds, and 9.5 assists, propelling the Mavs to a perfect 4-0 record.

Doncic also received the Player of the Month award for the West, marking his second consecutive win after receiving it in February. The six-foot-seven star maintained impressive averages of 32.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 10.1 assists, leading the Mavs to an 11-4 record during this period.

Having received these awards, he may have a strong chance of being named the MVP for this season. Nevertheless, the voting process may prove challenging, given the abundance of talent in the league.
