Luka Doncic is making waves in Hollywood, and the numbers are piling up faster than a blockbuster opening weekend. Despite not having completed a full season in the iconic purple and gold, Doncic is already leaving a mark that echoes through the halls of Lakers history.
In a recent showdown against the LA Clippers, Doncic delivered a stellar performance, dropping 38 points and dishing out 11 assists in a thrilling 125-122 victory. This wasn’t just any win; it felt like playoff intensity had arrived early.
Doncic’s rapid ascent is nothing short of remarkable. He became the fastest Laker to hit 2,000 points, achieving this feat in just 65 games, surpassing the legendary George Mikan. To put this in perspective, he kicked off the season with three consecutive 40-point games, a feat not seen since Wilt Chamberlain's era in 1962.
On February 21, 2026, Doncic notched his 10th game as a Laker with at least 35 points and 10 assists, surpassing Kobe Bryant’s record of nine such games. That’s right, in less than a full season, he’s already edging past some of the franchise’s legends. His standout performances include a 46-point, 12-assist night against the Bulls and several other 40-point eruptions.
Doncic is setting the scoring standard for the 2025-26 season. Leading the league with an average of 32.8 points per game, he’s not just scoring - he’s orchestrating.
His 8.6 assists per game rank third in the NBA, and he’s pulling down 7.8 rebounds a night, showcasing a complete offensive package. Efficiency is the name of his game, shooting 47.3% from the field, 35.2% from beyond the arc, and nearly 78% from the charity stripe.
While Kobe Bryant’s monumental 33,643 career points remain the pinnacle of Lakers scoring, Doncic is crafting his own legacy, one electrifying performance at a time. The Lakers faithful have every reason to be excited, as Doncic continues to build something truly special in Los Angeles.
