Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic is a young and talented basketball player originally from Slovenia. Starting to play as a child, by adolescence the athlete has earned recognition and repeatedly at the receipt of titles and awards became the youngest of their owner.

Luka Doncic, also known as "Wonder Boy" and "Balkan Miracle", was born on February 28, 1999 in Ljubljana. The father of the future athlete, a professional basketball player, in 2010 ended his career and began to work as a coach. Miriam Poterbin's mother has been involved in barrier running in the past and has also worked as a model and dancer.

Luka has a mixed background: the boy has Serbian roots on his father's side, and his mother has Slovenian roots. In 2008, the parents of the future basketball player divorced, and Luke stayed to live with his mother, but communication with his father did not stop. According to his parents, the boy first touched a basketball at 7 months and since childhood was fond of sports, including football. The latter had to give up with age - Doncic began to interfere with growth.

Luke started playing basketball at the age of 7, when he was in elementary school in Ljubljana, and played the boy mainly with older children. Now the athlete says that it has helped to develop an intellectual approach to sports. Opponents were bigger and faster boy, so to win had to think over tactics.

The sporting hero of little Luke was the Greek basketball player Vasilis Spanoulis. According to Doncic, in his youth, the Greek's game fascinated him.

When Luke was 8 years old, his father started playing for the Slovenian club Olympia, and the coach of the basketball school invited the boy to try himself in the game with his peers. In the first 16 minutes, Doncic performed so well that he was immediately put on the team with 11-year-olds.

At the age of 14, Luca already represented Olympia at the Vasas Intesa Sanpaolo Cup in Budapest and was named the Most Valuable Player in September 2011. In 2013, he was loaned out by Spanish Real Madrid to represent the team in the Spanish under-14 competition Minicopa Endesa. Doncic, the youngest player, secured the team 2nd place with the results of the game.

In the 2014/2015 season, Luca played mainly with Real Madrid and their reserve team and by the end of the season earned honorary awards of all leagues on the basketball site of Eurobasket.com. In January 2015, Doncic won the Ciutat de L'Hospitalet tournament before joining the team playing in all tournaments, although the youngster was at least two years less than the rest of the participants.

On April 30, 2015, Luca made his debut for Real Madrid in the Spanish league Endes and became the youngest athlete to play for the team in these competitions. The 2015/2016 season was Doncic's period of playing for Real Madrid as a permanent member of the team. At the age of 16, the young man made his debut in the Euroleague: up to that point, 20 players managed to do it before the age of 17.

The 2016/2017 season was a success for the sports biography of the young athlete and provided him with both popularity and attention of basketball professionals. On December 4, 2016, Real Madrid's winning performance against Fuenlabrada secured Luka as the most valuable player of the week in the Endes league. And on December 22, after defeating the German team "Broze" the athlete became the most valuable player of the week in the Euroleague. Again, Doncic was the youngest player to be awarded the title.

At the end of the season, he played in 42 league games for Endes and averaged 7.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3 assists. In the Euroleague, the figures were 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists. The result was the title of "Rising Stars of the Euroleague" and the award "Best Young Player" from the league Endes.

Doncic's performance for Real Madrid in the 2017/2018 season has had a positive impact on the club's stats, especially after Sergio Leul suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. On September 24, 2017, with 27 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 interceptions, Luke was named the most valuable player in the Euroleague.

Later in December, in the League endes, he was named "Best Player of the Month", again becoming the youngest holder of the title. Also this season, Luca was recognized as the "Rising Star of the Euroleague" for the second time.

On June 29, 2018, Doncic left Real Madrid to pursue a career in the NBA.

Luke's personal life, like any popular athlete, is in plain sight, but it is impossible to find scandalous details in it. Since 2016, the basketball player has been dating model Anamaria Goltes. And if in "Instagram" Doncic himself mainly photos from the games, the girl's account posted pictures, which depicted a couple in love.

Luke has a few tattoos. On the athlete's right forearm is the Latin phrase "Non desistas, non exeries", which translates as "Never stop, never give up". Above it is an image of a tiger - Doncic loves this animal and even says that he would like to have his own. In 2017, the guy got another tattoo - now on the right side of Luke flaunts the image of the Cup "EuroBasket".

An important part of the basketball player's life remains her mother: Miriam supported her son since childhood and helped Luke in her career. And the attractive appearance of a woman in 2018 impressed doncic's sports colleagues. Thousands of people have signed up to Miriam's Instagram account, and Luke's mother continues to please her son's fans with children's and youthful photos of the popular basketball player.

Luke has an extremely advantageous composition for a basketball player: the weight of the young man is 103 kg at the height of 203 cm. Thanks to such data on the playground Doncic is versatile. The athlete is able to play as a player and attacking defender, and in the positions of light and heavy forwards.

In the summer of 2018, after parting ways with Real Madrid, Luke started playing for the Dallas Mavericks, which Rick Carlisle, the coach, considers a great success for the team. Doncic did not play in the 2018 NBA Summer League, but in the 2018/2019 season he was considered the first contender for the NBA Rookie of the Year award. In November 2018, Luke took the first step to this - the athlete was recognized as the "NBA Rookie of the Month."

Now Luke's task is to continue to live up to the expectations placed on the basketball player by coaches and teammates. And fans are waiting for new bright victories of the young athlete.
