Dallas Mavericks superstar guard Luka Doncic has long been criticized for his defensive effort. However, amid his career-best steals production, the five-time All-Star is seemingly unfazed by his detractors.
Doncic has been sidelined for the last two games due to a left heel contusion. But before his injury, he was regularly racking up high-volume swipes. Through 20 outings, he ranks second in the NBA in steals per game (2.1), trailing only Atlanta Hawks defensive-oriented guard Dyson Daniels (3.0).
During an interview with the Slovenian news website 24ur.com published on Sunday, Doncic was asked about his naysayers' gripes about his defense. He noted that he is unconcerned about proving them wrong, as they will continuously find aspects of his game to nitpick.
