Luka Doncic was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2018 NBA Draft. Having played professionally in Europe since the age of 16, Doncic took no time to adjust to the NBA. He emerged as a superstar and a potential generational talent in his rookie season itself.

During his first playoff appearance of the 2019-20 season, the Mavericks were up against the LA Clippers. The Clippers were considered favorites to win the NBA title this season. However, Doncic made a strong impression upon the Clippers.

In Game 4 of the series, Luka Doncic recorded 43 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists to lead the Mavericks to a win, tying the series at 2-2 in the process.

Unfortunately for the Mavericks, the Clippers would overwhelm them in the following games and win the series in six games. Luka Doncic recorded averages of 31 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game for the series.

Kevin Durant is one of the most prolific scorers of all time. Starting his career with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Durant emerged as a scoring machine and a bonafide superstar.

Having been a two-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, Durant now aims to win a championship with the Brooklyn Nets. Sitting out most of the 2019-20 season due to injury and skipping the playoffs to make a full recovery, Durant returned to the game for the 2020-21 season.

He would truly put his skills and the extent of his abilities on display in the NBA playoffs. In the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Milwaukee Bucks, Durant would put on an offensive clinic unlike any other.

After Kyrie Irving's injury in Game 4, Durant put the Nets on his back in Game 5. Recording 49 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists for the game, Durant helped the Nets take a 3-2 series lead.

However, the Milwaukee Bucks would outlast the Nets in the long run. Winning the series in a Game Seven overtime, the Bucks would also go on to win the NBA title. For the series, Durant averaged 35.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists.
