Luka Doncic reminisces “amazing” 2023

2023 seemed to bring nothing but joy to Doncic. The 24-year-old entered the year as the Mavericks’ cornerstone and one of the best players in the league.

From a record-breaking FIBA World Cup run to Texas Rangers games with his mentor Dirk Nowitzki, Doncic recorded it all on his social media.

Doncic has had an unforgettable journey in 2023 and has some of the best memories to carry forward to 2024. The Mavericks are placed firmly in 6th place again and the Slovenian guard is in the running for an MVP award.

Things seem to be looking up for the Mavericks star yet again as he enters 2024. As the Mavs guard turns the page on 2023, here’s a look back at his incredible year.

Doncic’s unforgettable 2023

Luka Doncic had a rollercoaster of a year in 2023. From disappointments to pure bliss, the 24-year-old experienced it all. It all began with a shocking Kyrie Irving acquisition that helped him take the heavy weight of carrying the Mavericks’ team alone off his shoulders. Then came a major upset as the Mavericks missed the playoffs in new superstar duo LuKai’s first-ever stint. However, then came an outstanding series of events that truly made his year exciting.

Shedding weight to get into the best shape of his life before the FIBA World Cup gave Doncic a whole new perspective. He also got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Anamaria Goltes, during this time. Then came a disappointing World Cup run where he led Slovenia to a mere 8th position. However, seems like he only took this setback as a learning experience. After the FIBA World Cup run, Doncic returned hungrier than ever to the NBA and took it by storm. Amid the season came two very special moments, the birth of his daughter Gabriella and an unforgettable Texas Rangers championship that he witnessed with none other than his mentor, Dirk Nowitzki.

Doncic had several other incredible experiences that he may never forget in his life. Entering 2024, the Mavs star has a lot to look forward to and is only hungrier to make his year better. However, seems like 2023 has been extremely kind to the 24-year-old.
