“He’s a walking triple-double machine,” says Mike Brown about Domantas Sabonis. The Kings coach’s rating is not exaggerated. The center reached 24 against the Raptors so far this season, a figure that allows him to lead the NBA. Did 13 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists in less than 28 minutes to destroy Toronto 89-123 with his extraordinary ability to produce.
Sabonis is also the NBA leader in double-doubles. He has 64 in 68 games and 51 of them have been achieved consecutively, whether with rebounds or assists. With points, always. Only in two games this season did he fall below ten. He has not missed his appointment since November 29. This has allowed him to equal myths like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Moses Malone in the fourteenth best streak in history.
This season, the Lithuanian center is averaging 20.1 points, 13.7 rebounds (he is also the NBA leader in that statistic) and 8.3 assists. and his team has had a winning record for almost the entire year thanks in part to his contribution. “What Domas does for us every night is impressive. Being able to be a force, going to the board, facilitating like he does, scoring like he does, attracting the attention that the defenses pay towards him…”, his teammate praises him. Harrison Barnes.

Coach Mike Brown goes even further. “When he doesn’t get a triple-double, you expect a double-double. It’s a shame, because it should be celebrated a lot. “He should be in the conversation for MVP.”, sentence. It may be disproportionate, but Sabonis’ figures are devastating.
