Luka Dončić spoke about playing in front of a large number of Slovenian fans: “When all the people come to see you, you want to stage a show.”
The NBA is becoming an increasingly international sport day by day. Due to the globalization of the game, we see many more international superstars. One of these stars is Luka Dončić.
Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks recently competed against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Luka Dončić had an amazing performance, collecting 35 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists.
The reason for his incredible performance could be the presence of a “loud contingent of Slovenian fans”. Luka Dončić revealed that he wanted to “put on a show” in front of his compatriots. Article on ESPN provided the news.
With a large, loud contingent of Slovenian fans at hand, Luka Dončić wanted to put on a show for his compatriots.
The Cavaliers could not stop this.
“When everyone comes to see you, you want to stage a show,” said Dončić.
He did not disappoint.
The same article also published the words of Jason Kidd, who revealed that he talked to Luka Dončić on the plane about the fact that there are many Slovenian fans at the match.
“We talked about having a large Slovenian contingent on the plane in Cleveland,” said Mavericks coach Jason Kidd. “He wanted to put on a good show and he came to work. He comes to work every night.
“He knew when to pass the ball and when to attack. Luka will have two (boys) on the ball and he trusts his teammates to play.”
It is understandable why Luka Dončić wanted to show himself in front of his compatriots. In Slovenia, they are already watching him in a fantastic light, and above all, he brought them among the top 4 at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. He even argued that winning a gold medal with his country would mean more than winning an NBA title.
Although he will not have the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games this year, Luka Dončić has the opportunity to win the NBA title this year. The Dallas Mavericks are a solid defensive team that has him as the center of attack. Although they are not favorites, there is still a chance that the team will surprise, and for that they will need Luka Dončić to the best of their ability.
