Luka Doncic showed off his exceptional versatility during the 2022-23 NBA season, scoring 32.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game. These figures rank him comfortably among the league’s best, reinforcing his standing as one of the NBA’s brightest young prospects. His competitive fire is fierce, and missing out on the play-in event last season was a tough pill to swallow. He is a player who thrives on big stages, and he will not take missing the playoffs lightly.

The Mavericks are making important personnel selections as they plan for the next season. It is critical to secure Kyrie Irving’s future with the Mavericks, as his relationship with Doncic promises to be exciting.

He has the ball bro, we playing pickup and this man is dribbling the ball and starts laughing. I’m like what you laughing its game point.

While it is important to acknowledge that the FIBA World Cup does not include every basketball great. NBA stars such as Stephen Curry, Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and LeBron James are not a part of the FIBA World Cup. But, that does not lessen Doncic’s achievements.
