Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic was basically playing an entirely different sport than everyone else on Sunday night.
Doncic recorded 47 points in a much-needed victory over the Houston Rockets. He also added 12 rebounds and seven assists while shooting 9-of-16 on his 3-pointers. It was a dominant performance from Doncic, who is in the midst of an MVP-caliber campaign for Dallas.
While the stats were impressive during this outing for the Mavericks star, nothing was as memorable as the ridiculous finger roll that he took in the third quarter. Leading by more than 20 points, Doncic decided to get a bit creative.

Doncic somehow decided to have the courage to attempt an underhanded finger roll from 21 feet away from the basket.
Usually those kind of looks are reserved for layups and floater range but he thought it would work from near the 3-point line. Somehow, he was right.
What is most unbelievable, though, is that this wasn’t even the most absurd attempt that Doncic made that night.

Although it was the most audacious that he tried during game action, he had a trick shot before the game that was even harder to process.
Before tipoff, he threw the ball off the scoreboard for a shot that somehow landed perfectly in the hoop. It made absolutely no sense and it was such a joy to watch.
