Luka Doncic is happiness.
Last night, the Slovenian star scored two tries late in the game, the last one with just a tenth of a second left to give the Mavs a 110-107 victory over the Celtics.

There’s probably more to explore why this is, but a big reason why soccer and basketball are the most popular sport is that when such moments can happen, the guys who can make it happen the most will get the ball. Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes will have the ball in their hands with the game at stake. Luka Dončić or Damian Lillard or LeBron will also secure the ball. In close matches you can feel the building work on it. The anticipation at that moment magnifies the last few minutes.

Baseball and hockey do not have it. McDavid or Matthews may not be on the ice when deciding. They may not get the bag. Trout may not come up in the 9th. By that time, we know Cole or Snell or deGrom will not be on the hill.
Or we can keep it simple: beat Luka Dončić.
