    Mavericks star Luka Doncic enters elite Kobe Bryant-led club with wild playoff feat

    After nearly climbing back from a 31-point deficit and stealing a win away from the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4, the Dallas Mavericks left no doubt in Game 5, routing the Clips by the final score of 123-93 in Los Angeles to take a 3-2 series lead. As usual, leading the way for the Mavericks was Luka Doncic, their MVP candidate and do-everything superstar who scored 35 points on 14-for-26 shooting despite playing with a bum knee that Doncic himself admitted would likely be sidelining him if it weren't the postseason. In this pivotal Game 5 Mavericks win, Luka Doncic not only outscored a Clippers trio of future Hall of Famers all by himself — Paul George, James Harden and Russell Westbrook combined for 28 points on an abysmal 8-for-36 shooting — he also made a bit of NBA history in the process, joining a very exclusive club that at this moment only has five high-profile members including Basketball Hall of Famer, the late Kobe Bryant, according to the NBA History Twitter account.

    2K has just announced something that has infuriated its fans, that those who were saving up for the top Collector Level reward in NBA 2K24 would no longer get the card they wanted, Kobe Bryant, the iconic NBA legend who died in 2020. "Players who achieve the top Collector Level will now receive an Option Pack for two picks out of ten previously released 100 OVR Cards,” 2K said. “We appreciate that players have dedicated time and effort throughout the year to achieve this reward and 2K is committed to ensuring players continue to earn valuable content as their reward." Players view this as a last-minute bait and switch, though the Terms of Service of the game do appear to account for something like this happening, so there is likely no recourse.
