Although he hasn’t won any NBA Most Valuable Player Award yet, Luka Doncic is still counted as one of the top players in the league. At the very young age of 24, he had too many records to his name and broke countless old records as well.
The Mavericks Star has won three consecutive All-NBA First team, and it is believed that he would win it one more time too. With an average of 33.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 8.1 assists, he is looking as one of the most strong players in the league.
Nikola Jokic on Luka Doncic
It is quite evident that most of the players have a lot of respect for Luka and whatever he has achieved. One of his peers Nikola Jokic said about Luka :
He’s a one-man army. He’s the guy who can destroy you. Who can really man manipulate the game the right way. There is no good matchup for him. If he has a smaller guy, he’s gonna post him up. If he has a bigger guy, he’s gonna go by him. He has a deadly step-back.
He has a really, really, really, big basketball IQ. He has a really good view, seeing the floor really on a different level. Basketball-wise, he’s a really, really unique player. And the personal, he’s a really good guy. Like a guy you can hang out with.
Jokic added.
Jokic and Luka are close to each other, and it is reflected in their statements about each other. It seems like they share a very good bond on and off the court. Once Jokic was asked if he had to select one player to win the championship and he instantly took Luka’s name, which shows the closeness of the two.
If Nuggets' Nikola Jokic would have to pick one player to win a championship that isn't his teammate, he'd pick Mavericks' Luka Doncic:

Slovenia’s Emerging Basketball Star
With a great combination of game intelligence, competitiveness, and fitness, Luka is standing out among the other young players and making a name for himself. With the power of his great skill, he was one of the top picks in the 2018 NBA draft. He became the tenth Slovenian player to be drafted into the world’s best league. Making Slovenians proud, Luka is definitely on to some bigger things
Slovenia’s chance of winning the World Cup
Vlatko Cancar will miss the World Cup, and Luka will do what he does best but the other players need to play their part too. Otherwise, it might become tough for them. Anyways, Luka will gather most of the attention of the fans for sure.
