Last year he finished third in the MVP voting after averaging 28.9 points, 9.5 rebounds and 8.1 assists. He had a career-high 73 points on 25 of 33 shooting in a victory against the Hawks.
Doncic nearly capped the season with a championship. After making their way to the NBA Finals as the No. 5 seed, the Mavericks lost to the Boston Celtics. Iverson said he is most impressed by how Doncic can combine street ball with fundamentals, thus the comparison. "I'm talking his style," Iverson said. "It's kind of like street ball mixed in.
