LeBron James, Trae Young and Patrick Mahomes Join Fans in Showering Blessings for Luka Doncic as Mavs Star Announces Life-Changing News

Luka Doncic proposed to his long-time girlfriend, Anamaria Goltes, on July 7 this year. The couple had been dating since 2016 and finally decided to tie the knot after a long relationship. 5 Months after going down on one knee, the Slovenian sensation announced another big addition to his family.

Luka’s NBA peers, including LeBron James and Trae Young, joined the NBA world in showering blessings on the Dallas Mavericks superstar after the life-changing news.

Luka Doncic’s big announcement

Luka Doncic is now a proud father. The 24-year-old announced the birth of his daughter Gabriela with his fiancé, Anamaria Goltes, on Instagram. The couple posted a picture of their newborn daughter while she was holding their fingers with each hand.

The NBA world was buzzing after Luka’s big announcement, and many fellow athletes congratulated him on the new addition to the family. 4-time Champion LeBron James wrote, “Congrats Brother!!!”. Luka’s draft class partner and Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young filled the comment section with several heart emojis. Even NFL legend Patrick Mahomes joined the fun and congratulated Luka, “Congrats my man!”

Apart from these athletes, many fans also showered love on Luka while trolling his NBA opponents. One fan wrote, “Does she know about your other kids on the Clippers?” A fan even went as far as calling Gabriela Devin Booker’s new sibling, “Booker finally got a sibling.” These comments were a result of Luka Doncic’s dominant performance against the Suns and the Clippers in the playoffs.

How Luka Doncic single-handedly dominated the Phoenix Suns

The meme of Luka Doncic being Devin Booker’s father started after the Western Conference Semi-Final series between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns in 2022. There was a lot of animosity between the two teams during that series, and the two superstars butted heads in each game. Devin Booker dominated early and helped the Suns take a 3-2 lead in the series. But he got too confident and started trash-talking the Slovenian sensation. He even introduced the world to “The Luka Special” while flopping to the floor.

Booker choked in the most crucial games and scored a total of 30 points in the final two games. Whereas, Luka averaged an astounding 32.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 7 assists in that series, thus giving birth to the hilarious meme.
