Luka Doncic gave Dallas Mavericks fans the ultimate Christmas gift, not only scoring a dazzling 50 points in a 128-114 win over the Phoenix Suns, but also surpassing the 10,000-point mark for his career.

The historic achievement came in the 358th game of Doncic's career, tying him with Bob McAdoo for seventh-most games needed to reach the 10,000-point milestone. The feat further solidifies his place among NBA legends, trailing only Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson and George Gervin in terms of how quickly he reached the famous milestone.

Just seven minutes into the game, the 24-year-old Slovenian maestro opened the scoring with a 34-foot three-pointer that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd aptly described Doncic's stellar performance, saying, "He's one of the best players in the world. We can't take him for granted. When he's feeling it, you have to pass him the ball as much as you can."

Doncic's inclusion in the 10,000-point club is all the more remarkable considering his youth - at 24 years and 300 days, he became the sixth-youngest 10,000-point player behind LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Cameron Anthony and Tracy McGrady.

But Doncic's Christmas magic goes beyond that. His 50-point masterpiece on the biggest stage puts him among the elite players, joining Bernard King, Wilt Chamberlain and Rick Barry as players in NBA history to score 50 or more points on Christmas Day.

This Christmas Day performance was a dazzling reminder of Luka Doncic's immense talent and potential. Not only is he a scoring machine, but he is also a skilled player and leader whose impact on the Mavericks is undeniable. Luka Doncic's relentless pursuit of greatness and ability to perform on the biggest stage is destined to leave an indelible mark on the NBA landscape for years to come.
