Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, and Luka Don\u010di\u0107. That\u2019s it \u2014 that\u2019s the list. The Slovenian national team player joined the legendary center and the greatest basketball player of all time as only the third player to score at least 125 points in the first three games of the season, something Jordan last achieved 39 years ago. Wilt managed it three times (1961\/62, 1962\/63, 1965\/66), and now Luka is the first since the 1986\/87 season and His Airness to do it. However, Jordan did not have three consecutive 40+ games like Don\u010di\u0107, something only Wilt accomplished twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u010di\u0107 finished the game with 44 points (8\/12 for two, 6\/15 for three, 10\/13 free throws), 12 rebounds, and six assists in the Los Angeles team\u2019s 117:112 road win over the Memphis Grizzlies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city of angels has already gotten used to everything being in Luka Don\u010di\u0107\u2019s hands now that LeBron James is out. The incredible Slovenian playmaker missed three games, during which Austin Reaves took on his role and carried the Lakers, but now that the player averaging 46 points this season is back, it was clear who would be holding the ball almost all the time. That\u2019s exactly what happened, as Don\u010di\u0107 scored 13 in the first quarter, 18 by halftime, and then 17 in the third for a total of 35 before the final ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
