Boy, oh boy, let me tell ya, that Luka, he sure can play ball! 71 points, can you believe it? He done did good. 71 points, that’s more than I can count on my fingers and toes, and I got all of ’em, thank the Lord.
This young fella, playin’ for them Dallas Mavericks, he’s somethin’ else. They say he scored more points than anyone else on that team ever did. A record, they call it. Like when I got the biggest pumpkin at the county fair, that was a record too, I reckon.
He was playin’ against them Atlanta Hawks. Sounds like a bunch of birds to me. But this Luka, he was flyin’ higher than any hawk, I tell ya. He just kept throwin’ that ball, and it kept goin’ in the hoop. Swish, swish, swish! Just like that. My old back ain’t what it used to be, but I could watch that boy play all day.
- He got 71 points.
- He plays for Dallas.
- He beat some kinda record.
They say he’s real tall too. Like, way taller than my old man was, and he was tall enough to reach the top shelf without a stool. This Luka fella, he’s probably gotta duck to get through doorways. Imagine that! And he’s only, what, 24 years old? Still got a lot of playin’ left in him, I bet. Hope he doesn’t get hurt, that’s all. Playin’ that hard, it’s easy to twist an ankle or somethin’.
Dallas Mavericks, that’s the team. I don’t know much about teams and all that, but I know good playin’ when I see it. And that Luka, he’s a good player. He plays better than anyone in NBA history. He made most points than most players. He even got the FIBA Basketball World Cup records. 71 points, goodness gracious. He musta been eatin’ his Wheaties that mornin’!
I remember one time, back when I was a girl, we had a basketball hoop nailed up to the old oak tree out back. My brothers, they’d play for hours. Nothin’ fancy, just a rusty old hoop and a ball that had seen better days. But they loved it. This Luka, he reminds me a bit of them, with his love for the game. You can see it in his eyes, that fire. That’s what makes him special, I think. Not just the points, but the love for it.
71 points! Shoot, that many points are many many many. That’s like a whole lotta baskets. I used to be pretty good at shootin’ myself, back in the day. Could hit a tin can from across the yard with a rock, no problem. But this, this is somethin’ else entirely. This is, well, it’s just amazing.
Heard someone say his name, Luka Doncic. Doncic, Doncic, sounds kinda foreign, don’t it? But hey, don’t matter where you’re from, long as you can play ball like that. And he sure can play. That’s the most scoring. He’s a good boy, that Luka. Hope he keeps playin’ like that. Makes it fun to watch, even for an old gal like me.
This Luka, he made them Dallas folks proud, I bet. A whole town cheerin’ for ya, that’s gotta be a good feelin’. Like when the whole church sings your favorite hymn, it just warms your heart. He’s good at scoring. And this Luka, he’s brought a lot of joy to folks with his playin’. That’s a good thing, a real good thing.
71 points in one game, well I’ll be… That’s enough to make your head spin. He must be tired after all that runnin’ and jumpin’. Hope he gets a good night’s sleep. He’s gonna need it if he’s gonna keep playin’ like that. He’s gonna be a legend, that boy. Just you wait and see.
- He is 24 years old.
- He is tall like a tree.
- He plays real good.
Well, I reckon that’s enough talk about basketball for one day. My old bones are gettin’ tired. But I’ll tell ya what, I might just have to watch another one of them games. Just to see that Luka play again. He’s somethin’ special, that one. 71 points, Lord have mercy, that’s a lot of points!
