WATCH: Mavs' Luka Doncic Finds Nikola Jokic & LeBron James for Dunks in All-Star Game
Luka Doncic's passing prowess was on full display in the first quarter of the All-Star game.
Doncic didn't make a basket, but he had three assists, two of which went to Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James.

Doncic's connection with Jokic came early in the first quarter. The Mavs guard dribbled up the court and threw an alley-oop for Jokic, and he made a spinning layup at the rim. Doncic and Jokic's connection continued what has been a strong relationship between the two European stars during All-Star week.
Later in the quarter, Doncic found James cutting to the basket, and the Lakers star threw it down for a thunderous dunk.
The Eastern Conference All-Stars led 53-47 at the end of the first quarter.
With Doncic's relationship with Jokic and James potentially in his final season in Los Angeles, could both assists be a sign of things to come for the Mavericks in the future?
