There are not many franchises in the NBA that can compare to the list of all-time greats the Los Angeles Lakers boast. Magic Johnson. Kareem. Kobe Bryant. LeBron James. Shaquille O’Neal. James Worthy. Jerry West. Elgin Baylor. The list goes on and on, and there is going to come when Luka Doncic might very well join them.
For now, Doncic accomplished a feat on Friday night that none of the aforementioned players ever did while wearing a Lakers uniform.
In fact, he accomplished a feat that no Lakers player has ever done.
He recorded a triple-double during the Lakers’ 142-111 win over the Washington Wizards, and he did so entirely in the first half.
Luka’s first-half triple-double an historic performance
What is perhaps even more amazing than the fact he did all of this in the first half, is that he also did it all in under 20 minutes of action.
