Slovenia’s Big Plans with Luka Doncic…
After gallivanting across the country with the Jordan Brand tour like a basketball unicorn, Luka Doncic is now back on European soil, ready to rock EuroBasket 2025. Teaming up to dazzle for Slovenia, he’s set to clash with stars like Jokic waving the Serbian flag, Sengun holding it down for Turkey, and Giannis dunking for Greece. EuroBasket is as prestigious as a crown on a frog in a fairy tale, with the tournament happening every four years to find Europe’s finest team, while players fiercely protect their pride like a pack of dogs guarding a juicy bone. Although Doncic is Slovenia’s top dog, he knows this doesn’t make him king of the hill. At a press conference, he confessed his ambition for a medal, hilariously saying he’s but one pair of wild socks in a drawer full of diligent leaders: “Our goal is always a medal…but I am not the only leader.” The tournament is a lot like a sitcom family reunion where everyone suddenly wants to sing—not just NBA stars. Doncic is the Lakers superstar they’re banking on, and though Slovenia will go as far as Doncic leads them, it’s a team gig and he’ll need his teammates to jump into the hoopla if they want to savor the sweet taste of victory.
