the Mavericks legend contributes to the community that raised him, extending his year-long charitable endeavours.

Luka Doncic capitalises on every opportunity to make a positive impact, regardless of whether it is on the pitch or off.

In collaboration with 2K Foundations, the charitable branch of 2K, the Mavericks guard and NBA 2K22 cover star unveiled a project in his hometown of Ljubljana, Slovenia: the renovation of his boyhood court. The project included the installation of new lighting, seats, and, of course, Doncic’s logo.

The recently built court is decorated with a unique design that Doncic and graphic artist Nejc Prah created together.

“This is a really exciting day for me.” I have amazing memories of my early years spent in Ljubljana. “These were the courts where I studied and practiced the game during my childhood,” Doncic said. “I am thrilled that children will have the opportunity to play on the same courts and pursue the same aspirations that I did. It is an honor to be able to give back to my city and country, which have bestowed so much upon me and which I adore.”

Doncic signed the court during its unveiling to formally dedicate it to his community. Following that, basketball scrimmages, 3-on-3 games, dribbling clinics, and skills challenges were extended invitations to local children.

Doncic desired, of course, to ensure that the courts remained accessible to the local community. Who knows, perhaps it will pave the way for another Slovenian superstar to join the NBA in the near future.

“It is a tremendous honor to witness Luka return to his birthplace and dedicate these courts to his hometown.” The Mayor of Ljubljana, Zoran Janković, stated, “We are proud of all that he has done for our country, not only in the NBA but also at the Olympics, where he continues to represent Slovenia internationally.” “He is adored by both the city and country of Ljubljana.”

Doncic has previously contributed to others. Doncic, along with Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, CEO Cynt Marshal, and teammates Tim Hardaway Jr., Maxi Kleber, and Dwight Powell, contributed $1.25 million to the Dallas Mayor’s Disaster Relief Fund and multiple local organizations that assisted in the housing and sheltering of homeless and low-income individuals, families, and families in response to the severe winter storm that struck Dallas earlier this year.

One month later, in recognition of everything the UT Southwestern healthcare staff had done and continues to do throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, he presented them with one hundred pairs of Jordan 1s.
