Mavericks’ Luka Doncic Left NBA Fans Floored With Perfect Behind-the-Back Pass

Doncic pulled off a jaw-dropping behind-the-back pass against the Knicks.

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is must-watch television virtually any time he steps onto an NBA court, and he showcased some of his next-level passing ability on Thursday night against the New York Knicks.

When the Knicks tried to bring pressure and double team Doncic, the Mavericks’ superstar didn’t flinch one bit. Instead, he turned and fired a jaw-dropping behind-the-back pass into the paint that was caught by Dwight Powell who turned and finished a layup at the rim.

Precious Achiuwa and Taj Gibson attempted to swarm Doncic on the perimeter, but rather than make an easy swing pass to the top of the key, the 24-year-old had everyone fooled when he rifled the trick pass to Powell. 

The highlight-reel pass caught the attention of NBA fans on social media, who were absolutely awestruck by Doncic’s creative and precise play. 

LUKA WHAT A PASS. 🤯
