From the Kings:

After going 12-of-12 from the floor tonight vs. UTA, Domantas Sabonis becomes the third player in NBA history with multiple perfect shooting performances on 12 or more FGA.
He joins Wilt Chamberlain (6) and Karl Malone (2).
But the Kings gave away Haliburton for nothing, right?
But he’s a tractor

Sabonis had a HISTORIC month:
— The Lead (@TheLeadSM) December 31, 2022
- 21.7 PPG
- 14.4 RPG
- 7.2 APG
- 69/69/74 splits (nice)
He’s the first player since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968 to average 20/14/7 on 65% shooting for a month 🤯 pic.twitter.com/7Q80LLOj2i
Is THIS good?
That's one quality tractor.
I like that in his post game presser when asked about his perfect shooting his response was "but I missed a free throw"
Maybe one of these? Them Lamborghini tractors sure are pretty....who needs a lousy Ferrari anyways?
Long term I really believe he is being set up to take a big L on this whole deal. Indy felt like a team that was setting themselves up for 2023-2024 but their play is almost certainly going to force them into making some bad decisions. It might be like a 7-9 seed treadmill they find themselves on rather than 7-9 in the lotto, but if they lock into Turner and give Haliburton the extension this offseason all they have is draft capital and Boston's pick is probably going to be 28th or lower.

Crazy that Domas is actually playing better with a broken thumb, then he was before the injury!
Two hands were holding him back.

Domas had a priceless reaction when he found out he shot a perfect 12 of 12 tonight 🤣 pic.twitter.com/LL7rXWgxtL

With the Kings - yes, the Kings - now 4th in the West, an impressive Domantas Sabonis stat...
— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) January 12, 2023
Per @Stathead, his current line - 18 points, 12 rebounds, six assists per - has only been accomplished six times. Wilt did it twice, and Oscar/KG/Jokic/Sabonis (in 2020-21) did it once.

Domantas Sabonis since fracturing his right thumb (8 games):
— Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) January 12, 2023
22.5 PPG
12.4 RPG
7.1 APG
64% FG
50% 3P pic.twitter.com/Y7nLUwtsUW
Should we break his other one, too, to unlock the totality of his superpowers?

The Best Players in the NBA, According to Our Points Created Metric
By Zach Kram
We can identify the players spearheading this movement with our points created metric, which combines points scored, points created via assist, and points created via screen assist into one umbrella metric, scaled per 36 minutes. This isn’t just an arbitrary, meaningless stat; in five of the last six seasons, the points created leader also won MVP. (The one exception was 2018-19, when Giannis Antetokounmpo won while ranking second.)
So who tops the points created leaderboard halfway through the 2022-23 season? If that MVP trend continues, we’re poised for a Nikola Jokic threepeat:

Thanks. Any time we post material from another site we have to include the link. We also can't copy/paste the entire article. Typically, we limit it to a few sentences that capture the meat of the discussion. I've edited your post to reflect this and include the link.

Sabonis is actually a perfect combination of the 2 best Kings front court players of all time, 2 Hall of Famers.
He is really a perfect mixture of Chris Webber and Vlade Divac rolled into one player. He has Webber's scoring and rebounding and Vlade's passing and locker room leadership/god father role. It's really incredible to watch how the Kings have come together around him and Fox.
