Luka Doncic is the undisputed best young player in the world. In his four years since 2018, Luka has continuously improved his game every year. He took over a Dallas Mavericks team that was struggling and has taken them to three consecutive playoffs berths. He also took over the role of franchise legend Dirk Nowitzki, who left in 2019. Luka’s ultimate dream is to win a ring with Dallas, but according to this resurfaced tweet, Luka might have a thing for fast cars too.

According to this old tweet by Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, Luka loves cars. When asked a day before the 2018 NBA Draft about his goals, Luka talked about how he wanted to own his dream car since he was young; a Porsche 911. Two other cars, which he mentioned, were a McLaren and a Lamborghini. But Luka let the world know that the primary target was to win a ring.

The then Orlando Magic center, Vucevic, tweeted to Luka. He offered Luka the chance to drive his Porsche 911 but then also mentioned that he won’t be able to help him in meeting Jennifer Aniston, who Luka is a massive fan of. His only condition was that Luka would have to come to Orlando in the next day’s draft.
