1. Surely a player of this magnitude is untouchable! Surely!

2. He was ballistic!

   What a carry

   Edit: It is worth mentioning that it was Danilo Gallinari’s last game for the national team.

3. People will disagree but Luka is the best floor raiser in basketball. He leads absolute trash teams to wins. There’s a reason why whenever Jokic scores more than 40 pts his team loses most of the time. He’s always had a better team around him than Luka ever has too.

4. He had half his team’s points😭

5. Slovenia nearly threw that game away after being up 16 at the beginning of the 4th

6. Yeah he can do it against Italy or Georgia but can he do it against Illinois or Georgia Tech like Marvin Bagley

7. This was the last national team for Gallo. He played hard, sad to see him go out but at least he went out fighting!

8. as an italian props to slovenia, y’all deserved to win. as a laker fan i’ll hop on the train and hope you win it all now

9. Men’s Health Luka is different

10. Never a dull day huh

11. Carrying trash all day long

12. I swear the Slovenian players were trying to throw the game at the end. What the hell was that? Missing every shot and FT, then at the end the guy driving and throwing the ball away. I was saying Slovenia should rest Luka this game because he looks hurt when the q2 started but I guess that’s not an option

13. Luka was disgusting all game and in the first quarter outscored Italy 22-11, doubling their whole teams score…

14. 42 points on 19 shots is insane, all-time carry job in Eurobasket tournament

15. Luka Doncic? Luka Doncic.

16. That my pookie lukookie 😢

17. They almost choked on their lead. Italy started doubling Luka even more in the second half. He kept throwing passes to open teammates through the double, but they just could not hit their shots.

18. You know his teammates are shitting the bed when he only got a single assist

19. He can hit his FTs and 3s at the same time now ?

20. I haven’t seen a carry job like this outside of a Dota match.

21. Slovenia at eurobasket never lost with Italy.. I wouldn’t call it upset.. But Luka god mode yeah 😎

22. Thank you Luka, thank you so much, thank you for giving me a successful hate-watching experience

23. the two missed free throws near the end by prepelič 😭 ridiculous

24. Imagine trading this guy at 25.

25. Slovenia has now made the Quarterfinals in 7 of the last 8 Eurobaskets.

26. Sheesh.

    My favourite team squaring up with my favourite player come tuesday.
    I
    love this sport.

27. All the stars have been going ham this tournament

28. FIRE NICO

29. Regardless of Slovenia winning, I do think Luka is MVP. Slovenia would not be in this situation without him.

30. Luka had 30 points at the half.

    None of his teammates had more than 4.

31. I’m glad Luka is finally playing again. We can finally dispel the stupid gossip that dude is washed and all that nonsense.
