Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic equalled another record on Thursday as he powered his team to a win. Luka registered 41 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, which was the second 40-point triple-double of his career (against Detroit Pistons). However, Luka had the fans in New Mexico smiling even before the game could begin when he greeted the crowd present at Mexico City Arena in fluent Spanish. Luka Doncic spent some time playing for Real Madrid in the Spanish Basketball League before coming to the NBA, which is why he is well-versed in the South American language.
