Luka Doncic is a Slovenian professional basketball player for the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association and the Slovenian national basketball team.

Born in Ljubljana, Slovenia on February 28, 1999, Doncic shone as a youth player for Union Olimpija before joining the youth academy of Real Madrid and later to the senior team where he rose to stardom.

Luka Doncic Early Life


Doncic was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia to Mirjam Poterbin, an owner of beauty salons, and Saša Doncic, a basketball coach and former player. His mother is Slovenian, and his father is a Slovenian of Serbian descent from Kosovo.

His parents filed for divorce in 2008, with custody and legal guardianship granted to his mother.
According to his family, Doncic first touched a basketball when he was seven months old and was frequently playing with a miniature hoop in his room by the age of one.

He played various sports in his childhood, including football, which he later quit after growing too tall. At age seven, he began playing organized basketball at primary school in Ljubljana.

His opponents at the time were up to ten years old, as Doncic reflected: “I was always training and playing with older kids who had much more experience than me. Many of them were bigger and faster than me too, so I had to beat them with my brain.”

He admired Greek basketball player Vassilis Spanoulis from his early teenage years, stating that he was “enchanted” by him. He wore the number 7 at Real Madrid in honor of Spanoulis. Doncic also grew up admiring American basketball player LeBron James.
