While the Wonderboy has gone back to his hometown, to encourage and show him their full support, the Mavs had a surprise waiting for him on his hometown court. Doncic was very happy with this surprise and hopefully motivated enough to earn another trophy to his name.

Heartfelt display of support for Doncic

Luka Doncic stepped onto his hometown court with excitement and dedication to play for his country. His regular season averages are 32.4 pts with 8.6 rebounds and about 8 assists. Having a great season, all the hopes of his country are on his shoulders. But what made his homecoming more special was receiving the surprise from his NBA team coach Jason Kidd. His team coach had come to witness Doncic’s first training with his international team. Kidd’s presence at the practice added an extra touch of warmth and support for Doncic.

Players get the chance to represent their native nations on a global level at the FIBA World Cup. This is Luka Doncic’s time to wear proudly the jersey of his country and demonstrate his prowess to the world. And Jason Kidd’s presence at Doncic’s first session not only motivated him personally but also showed support for Slovenia’s basketball goals.

The unexpected visit by Kidd highlights not only the close bond between them but also his mentoring and leadership roles in Doncic’s growth. Kidd is a former NBA great and is aware of the value of foreign competition and the effects it may have on a player’s development and self-assurance.
