Breaking: Luka Dončić Sets Record for Fastest Player in Lakers Franchise to Have at Least 5 Consecutive Games with 30+ Points
Los Angeles, April 28, 2025 — In an astonishing display of skill and consistency, Luka Dončić has etched his name into the Los Angeles Lakers’ storied history by setting a new franchise record for the fastest player to reach five consecutive games with 30 or more points.
The 24-year-old superstar, who was traded to the Lakers earlier this season in a high-profile move, achieved the milestone in just six games, surpassing the previous record set by Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who had reached the mark in seven games during the 1970s.
A Scoring Machine: Dončić’s Historic Streak
Dončić’s remarkable run began earlier this month, with a 34-point performance in a blowout victory against the Chicago Bulls. Since then, he’s been nearly unstoppable, tallying more than 30 points in each of the following four games — all while maintaining impressive efficiency in shooting, rebounding, and playmaking.
In the Lakers’ most recent victory against the Phoenix Suns, Dončić dropped a staggering 35 points, 12 assists, and 9 rebounds, coming within an assist of a triple-double while guiding the Lakers to a crucial win in their playoff push.
“I’m just playing the game I love, trying to help my teammates win,” Dončić said in a post-game interview. “It’s special to be a part of such a legendary franchise. But for me, it’s all about the next game.”
A New Era for the Lakers
While Dončić’s performance has been nothing short of phenomenal, it’s the timing of his scoring streak that has fans buzzing. The Lakers, who had been struggling in the earlier part of the season, have turned things around since Dončić’s arrival. His chemistry with LeBron James and Anthony Davis has sparked an offensive resurgence, with the Lakers now surging up the Western Conference standings.
“This guy is a once-in-a-generation talent,” said Lakers head coach Darvin Ham. “He’s not just scoring; he’s doing it in ways that open up everything else for the team. It’s been amazing to watch, and we’re only getting started.”
Setting the Bar for Future Stars
Dončić’s achievement has sparked excitement not just among Lakers fans but across the NBA. At just 24 years old, the young Slovenian continues to defy expectations, quickly becoming one of the league’s most electrifying players. His combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down.
“This is just the beginning for Luka,” LeBron James commented after the Suns game. “The way he’s playing is just special. He’s got the mentality and talent to go down as one of the greatest to ever do it.”
Looking Ahead
With five consecutive 30-point games now a part of Lakers history, the question remains: how far can Dončić lead this team? The Lakers’ playoff hopes are looking brighter than ever, with Dončić continuing to raise the stakes as the season enters its final stretch.
As the postseason looms, the Lakers’ potential has never been higher — and Luka Dončić is setting the stage for a playoff run that could redefine his legacy in the purple and gold.
