SAITAMA, Japan (Reuters) - Slovenia's Luka Doncic is the world's best basketball player and he "destroyed" Argentina with his tactical skills, Argentina head coach Sergio Hernandez said on Monday.

The Dallas Mavericks star came close to breaking the Olympics men's single-game scoring record with 48 points as the Slovenians crushed Argentina 118-100 in their Olympics debut after leading by as much as 30 points.
