"My boy is dialed" - NBA fans hilariously hype Luka Doncic gaming ahead of Game 2

Luka Doncic seems to be unbothered by the Dallas Mavericks' loss to the OKC Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. He only had one day off in between games, but he still managed to play "Overwatch." NBA fans hyped up the MVP finalist ahead of Game 2 on Thursday.

On his Instagram stories, Doncic shared that he's already a top 500 player in "Overwatch." It's an amazing feat considering how tough the game is and how busy his schedule is as an NBA player. He was already a grandmaster in the game last year but seems to have reached the top 500 sometime last season.

The Mavs superstar has been criticized for his poor shooting in the playoffs. He's averaging a near triple-double, but his efficiency has not been on par with what he was doing in the regular season. He's also nursing a knee injury, so it might be one of the reasons why he's struggling with his shot.

Dallas Mavericks fans are happy that Doncic is not feeling any pressure ahead of Game 2. Him playing "Overwatch" likely means that he's loose and comfortable despite being down 1-0 and shooting 39.5% from the field, including 22.7% from beyond the arc.

"My boy is dialed," a fan wrote.

"It means he’s in a good headspace. This is the Luka we need. He's been pressing. Kyrie has been trying to loosen him up," one fan claimed.

"He's locked in now, we arent losing another game this entire playoffs," another fan commented.

Meanwhile, some fans were impressed with Doncic's top 500 status in "Overwatch"

"Luka Doncic being top 500 tank in overwatch was not on my bingo card for 2024," one fan wrote.

"Dawg how is luka doncic top 500 tank while in the playoffs?" a fan asked.

Luka Doncic top 500 tank in overwatch no wonder he my goat bro," another fan remarked.

Luka Doncic randomly popped up in streamer's 'Overwatch' game last year

Many fans didn't know that Luka Doncic was good at "Overwatch" until last year when he randomly popped up in a streamer's game. The streamer, named 'M0xy', asked a player named 'Donatello' what were his hobbies outside of "Overwatch":

"Yeah I play basketball,” Donatello responded.

As it turns out, 'Donatello' was none other than the Dallas Mavericks superstar. People on the stream were dumbfounded that someone of his stature was in a grandmaster lobby. It's well-known among NBA fans that Doncic is a huge "Overwatch" gamer, but it was still surprising to find out he's so good at it as well.

Game 2 between the Dallas Mavericks and the OKC Thunder takes place at the Paycom Center on Thursday.
