The Slovenian brewery listens to the call to cool the bleached Dončići
Dec 28 (Reuters) – Luka Doncic said he needed a “recovery beer” after his record-breaking performance in Dallas on Tuesday night, and a Slovenian beer company responded by brewing a new line of suds to satiate the Slovenian star.
Doncic had a career-high 60 points with 21 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Mavericks to a thrilling 126-121 overtime victory over the visiting New York Knicks, becoming the first player in NBA history to score a triple-double value 60/20/10. double.
“I’m tired as hell. I need a beer to recover,” 23-year-old Dončić said with a smile after the match.
Pivovarna Laško got to work without wasting time.
“For all the tired Lukes in need of a recovery beer, we’ve brewed Luke,” the company said in a Facebook post Wednesday, alongside an image of a crate of cans of the beer, dubbed “Recovery Beer Edition.”
Doncic’s heroics Tuesday, which included a rebound of his own missed free throw and a putback with one second left to force overtime, could help him reach something even more special than a cold brew — his first league MVP award.
Oddsmakers cut his odds to win the award after the historic performance, and he now trails only Boston’s Jayson Tatum on DraftKings.
