Luka Doncic led the Los Angeles Lakers to yet another win, this time against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Slovenian was once again the star of the show, scoring over 50 points in what was a truly dominant display, especially in the second half.

However, what has got everyone talking is his 62-foot heave just before half time.

Bill Simmons has accused Lakers star Luka Doncic of being insufferable 👀 What do you make of those comment?

The Portland Trail Blazers looked like they were going to finish the first half with a 10-point lead, but Doncic was having none of that.

There were only around five seconds left on the clock when the Lakers superstar grabbed the ball near the free-throw line, took a few setup dribbles, shot and scored from 62 feet in glorious fashion to cut their half-time lead to seven points.

The Lakers won the game, and Doncic finished with 53 points, five rebounds and five assists, but his long-distance shot was definitely the highlight.

After the win, the 27-year-old came on Nightcap on Prime for a quick interview, where Blake Griffin asked him a question.

“Then you get the half-court shot. That’s a five-point swing right there. What’s your mentality defensively this year?” he asked.

Doncic answered him but ended it by saying: “That was a three-quarter shot, I mean, not half-court.”

Griffin immediately corrected himself and apologised. He said: “Yeah, sorry. Dude, I can’t believe I said that. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”

Doncic laughed it off, but the fact that he answered an interesting question before correcting Griffin shows just how locked in he is about everything.

As things stand, we think Doncic is the favourite to win the MVP award this season ahead of Victor Wembanyama, who is also having a fine campaign.

It will be interesting to see who will come out on top – successful 62-foot shots like the one against the Trail Blazers will only help him.
