Millions of people speak basketball, a common language across hundreds of nations. 

Doncic Luka excels in his field.

It is clear that the “Wonder Boy” is no longer a teenager. 

Despite turning 20 on February 28, Doncic is still more than two years younger than any other Dallas Mavericks player.

How does he decompress and rest?

Doncic responds, “Play video games, mostly,” mentioning how much he enjoys the game Fortnite.

Online, Doncic regularly engages in combat with other NBA players as well as former European teammates. He is the best Fortnite player in terms of the Mavs.

Does Dirk participate?

Doncic shrugs, “No.” It is not possible given his age.

The star player for the Mavericks is also the team’s public face.

Before the final 25 games of his rookie season, Doncic leads the team in three categories: assists (5.6), rebounds (7.2), and points (20.7).

The team’s top 3-point shooter, standing at 6’7″, makes 35% of his 2.4 attempts per game.

The stats are startling for anyone, let alone a 19-year-old competing against the finest in the world. And many of the greatest in the world see something special in Doncic:

“Ask me, would I like to play with Kevin Durant. Ask me … Absolutely. Ask me if I’d like to play with Jimmy Butler. Ask me about Kyrie Irving. Giannis [Antetokounmpo]. Ask me about [Joel] Embiid. Ben Simmons. Go ahead. All of them. Luka Doncic … Come on guys, it’s not rocket science. These are great players.” -Lakers forward LeBron James

Who was your favorite player growing up?

“LeBron James.”

What was it like playing against LeBron for the first time?

“It was special,” Doncic smiles. “I was kind of nervous. It was the first time I was kind of nervous. I wasn’t nervous for my first game in the NBA, but I was when i played LeBron.”
