I woke up this morning to this magnificent look at the game winner from Luka Doncic in game four of the series versus the Los Angeles Clippers in the Bubble. Somehow that shot was just a year ago tonight.

Bang. Bang.
My angle of The Shot. pic.twitter.com/lTtMObgFde
Thought I’ve seen this shot countless times, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it at this angle. Watching it this way 15 or so times, I find myself focusing on how fast it all happened. It happens in a matter of seconds, of course, but those seconds feel faster in this ground level view. It’s spectacular.
And because it’s summer and there’s not much else to talk about, here’s some other views of a shot which we’ll see replayed for the rest of Doncic’s career and beyond.
Brad Townsend had a similar view to Jason’s

And lastly, the Mike Breen call with the double bang
One year ago today, Luka Doncic caused Mike Breen to use the double BANG!

An incredible moment, and with Luka it always feels like another is just around the corner.
