The Mavericks icon has given a present to his birth and upbringing neighborhood as part of his ongoing philanthropic contributions.

Luka Doncic never passes up an opportunity to have an influence, on or off the court.

The Mavericks guard and NBA 2K22 cover star, Ljubljana, Slovenia native, announced a project he is working on with 2K Foundations, the company’s charitable arm. The court where he was raised has been renovated, adding new seats, lighting, and, of course, Doncic’s emblem.

The recently constructed court has a distinctive design that Doncic and graphic designer Nejc Prah developed together.

“I am particularly looking forward to today.” My early years in Ljubljana are replete with wonderful memories. “I studied and practiced the game on these courts during my childhood,” Doncic remarked. “I adore the city and country that have given me so much, and it is a gift to be able to give back to them. The fact that children will be able to play on the same courts as me and have high dreams makes me very happy.

Take a peek at the state-of-the-art courts that Luka Doncic envisioned for Ljubljana, his hometown,…

As an official dedication to his hometown, Doncic autographed the court during its unveiling. Then, invites were made to neighbourhood children to participate in basketball scrimmages, 3-on-3 games, dribbling clinics, and difficulties.picture image image image image image image image image image image image of

Naturally, Doncic wanted to make sure that the courts were still available to the people in the area. We can only hope this opens the door for yet another Slovenian superstar to make his NBA debut soon.

It is a great privilege to see Luka come back to his hometown and devote these courts to it. “We are proud of all that he has done for our country, not just in the NBA but also at the Olympics, where he continues to represent Slovenia globally,” said Zoran Janković, the mayor of Ljubljana. “Ljubljana, both the city and the country, adores him.”

Doncic has helped out other people in the past. Doncic contributed $1.25 million to the Dallas Mayor’s Disaster Relief Fund and various local organisations in response to the severe winter storm that hit Dallas earlier this year. Other contributors included Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, CEO Cynt Marshal, teammates Tim Hardaway Jr., Maxi Kleber, and Dwight Powell, as well as other Mavericks players.

After another month, he sent the healthcare personnel at UT Southwestern 100 pairs of Jordan 1s as a token of appreciation for all they had done and are doing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
