Luka Doncic has made NBA and Lakers history by scoring 92 points in the first two games of the season, surpassing Jerry West's 81 points in 1969 and surpassing Michael Jordan for the fourth-most points in the first two games in NBA history. Doncic scored 49 points in the Lakers' win over the Timberwolves, becoming the first Lakers player to open a season with back-to-back 40-plus point games and joining NBA legends like Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain in this achievement. His performance included 11 rebounds and 8 assists, demonstrating his all-around game. Doncic's scoring prowess is especially notable given the absence of LeBron James due to injury, positioning him as the Lakers' primary offensive leader. His start has been historic, with recent comparisons to NBA greats and acknowledgment of his ability to carry the team early in the season. Additionally, Doncic's scoring streak comes amid NBA-wide concerns about gambling scandals involving league officials and players, which have prompted league commissioner Adam Silver to express deep concern over the situation.
