Doncic Makes Olympic History with Scorching Debut

Slovenian superstar Luka Dončić made a powerful Olympic debut, dropping 48 points in Slovenia’s 118-100 win over Argentina in the Group C matchup of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic men’s basketball tournament.

Dončić’s incredible performance tied the second-highest scoring record in Olympic basketball history, a mark previously held by Australian player Ed Palubinskas in 1976. He now stands just 7 points shy of the all-time Olympic record - 55 points - set by Brazil’s Oscar Schmidt.
 

A Game for the Ages

Dončić was unstoppable on the court. In just 31 minutes, he delivered a mind-blowing stat line:

• 48 points

• 11 rebounds

• 5 assists

• 3 blocks

• 18-of-29 shooting from the field

Whether it was step-back threes, post moves, or crafty finishes at the rim, the Dallas Mavericks guard showcased his full arsenal.

Slovenia Off to a Perfect Start
 

This victory gives Slovenia a strong start in Group C, placing them firmly in contention for a spot in the knockout stage. As the reigning EuroBasket champions, Slovenia has become a dark horse contender for Olympic gold — and with Doncic playing at this level, anything feels possible.
