Kidd says Doncic deserves comparison with Michael Jordan after scoring heroics

• 24-year-old scored 73 points against Atlanta Hawks
• Coach says Slovenian star has overtaken Dirk Nowitzki

Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd raised more than a few eyebrows on Tuesday when he compared his star player, Luka Doncic, to the NBA's all-time greats.

Doncic has been on a tear recently, scoring 73 points against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. In a three-game span, he is averaging 48.7 points and 13.0 assists a game and followed his 73 points against the Hawks with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 17 assists against the Sacramento Kings.
