Athletistic/Basketball. Early in the morning of December 7 (Moscow time), in an NBA regular season game, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Utah Jazz on their home court with a score of 147:97. Texans point guard Luka Doncic contributed enormously to this success.

The 24-year-old Slovenian had a triple-double of 40 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in this meeting. This helped Doncic surpass the legendary American Larry Bird and enter ninth place in the number of triple doubles in NBA history. At such a young age for a basketball player, Luka already has 60 triple-doubles.

The NBA record holder is Russell Westbrook (198). Next come Oscar Robertson (181), Magic Johnson (138), Nikola Jokic (113), LeBron James (103), Jason Kidd (107), Wilt Chamberlain (78) and James Harden (74).

Luka Doncic has made the NBA All-Star Game four years in a row. Three times he was named to the NBA 1st All-Star Team after the regular season.
