Doncic has been instrumental in Slovenia's success during the EuroBasket tournament. On Sunday, Slovenia will be playing Italy in the Round of 16.
Also, he became the 4th player in EuroBasket history to notch a double double. He scored 27 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in Slovenia's win over Belgium.
As of now, he is averaging 32.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game. Furthermore, Doncic is gearing up for his first full season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
In early August, Doncic signed a three-year $165 million contract extension with the Lakers. He and LeBron James took the Lakers to the NBA Playoffs before exiting in the first round to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Doncic finished the season averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.5 assists. Additionally, he is appearing in the best shape of his life.
All of which combine for Doncic to continue to do big things in the near future.
Luka Doncic and his close relationship with his father
Doncic's basketball foundation all began in Slovenia under the guidance of his father Sasa. His father played basketball for 20 years in Slovenia, France, and Serbia.
Along the way, Sasa became a six-time Slovenian All-Star and a five-time champion in Slovenia.
Evidently, the game was passed down from father to son. Both are known for being highly competitive and maintain a strong bond over the game.
Sasa goes out of his way to travel to see his son play whenever possible. He's also come to his son's defense at notable times.
After the blockbuster trade from the Mavericks, Sasa openly criticized the organization for “secrecy” and “hypocrisy” in how they treated Luka.
