Luka Doncic Reveals Major Details About Facing LeBron For First Time

Playing against your idol is a huge deal, and Luka Doncic felt really special at the moment he had to do that.

Luka Doncic entered the world of basketball at 19, and he was the first choice of the Dallas Mavericks. Luka is one of the top favorites when it comes to winning the NBA Rookie of The Year award.

Doncic got the chance to confront LeBron James last Thursday for the first time in his life, and he was really excited. We did not even notice that he was nervous or anything. Doncic scored 14 points in 28 minutes, and the Mavericks had a one-point defeat at 114-113.

This was a night to remember as Doncic got a jersey signed by The King.

“I mean it was amazing. It was special for me, for sure. I looked up to him as my idol. For me it was special, it is going to be a day that I remember,” Doncic said.

LeBron was also impressed with Doncic who came to the league from Real Madrid.

“I think European players are developed faster than NBA guys, meaning American players. I don’t think this game is something he hasn’t seen before. I think that’s the best thing about European basketball. They develop their players so early,” LeBron said.

LeBron and his teammates are trying to stay on track, but they run out of luck easily. They will have to change something in order to shine bright. Maybe a trade deal or signing another player. Head coach Luke Walton better find their winning formula, because Magic Johnson will not be this patient forever.
