In the realm of the game of basketball, a competitor must give his all on the court but should not carry it forward off-court. The on-court rivalries can cause detrimental effects on personal lives if allowed to. Luka Doncic seemed to have understood that as he partied with his FIBA World Cup 2023 recently.

A leaked video of the $215 million star having a good time after humiliation in the quarter-finals surfaced. He was seen sharing laughs with his tournament competitors and an NBA legend.

Who did Luka Doncic party with?

Slovenia entered this edition of the World Cup with a lot of promise under the leadership of Luka. Despite their best efforts, the millionaire’s national team fell short in the quarter-finals. They lost to Canada 100-89 after failing to keep up with the North Americans in the second half.

Unexpectedly, Doncic joined them in their victory party as he was captured sharing laughs with his rival nations.
