Skip Bayless outlines flaw in Luka Doncic’s historic performance: “You got gilt-edge glasses that you watch Luka with”

Luka Doncic put on a show for basketball fans around the world last night. The Dallas Mavericks star went on to make history in his Tuesday night performance against the New York Knicks.

Doncic would finish with 61 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists against the Knicks. He would become the first player in NBA history to have 60-20-10 in a single game. Luka would finish the game with an impressive 21-of-31 from the field and 16-of-22 from the free throw line.

The Mavericks found themselves down by nine with 33 seconds remaining in the game. Eventually, Doncic would step up to the free-throw line with just 4.2 seconds remaining in the game. The problem for Dallas? They were down two points with just one free throw attempt. Doncic would intentionally miss before securing a tipped offensive rebound and scoring a bucket to force overtime.

Dallas would go on to take care of business in OT. For Doncic, it was just another example of a sensational single-game performance. But not everyone was convinced by the amazement of Luka's outing. Appearing on "Undisputed," analyst Skip Bayless said that he would give the performance "an 8 on the impressive scale."

Bayless pointed out that the opposition must be accounted for, as the Knicks were simply overmatched by Luka. He also pokes fun at his counterpart, Shannon Sharpe. "You got gilt-edge glasses that you watch Luka with," Bayless said.

“I’ll go to an 8 on the impressive scale. We have to take into account the opposition, which was an embarrassment. The Knicks were overmatched against Luka.
I don't know what TV you were watching but yours must have gold around it. You got gilt edge glasses that you watch Luka with.”
Luka Dončić notched the first ever 60-point, 21-rebound, 10 assist triple-double in history:
