Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/luka-doncic/] had his 29th 30-point game on Friday when he dropped 33 points against Orlando Magic. This marked his return to league action after the All-Star break in a record-breaking fashion. Just 20-years old, Doncic surpassed Kevin Durant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/] for the most 30-point games by a player before his 21st birthday. Also, Doncic became the first player in the NBA to score 300 three-pointers before turning 21. Doncic almost had a triple-double on Friday when he registered 10 rebounds and eight assists to go with his 33 points. To support him was Kristaps Porzingis who finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. On the back of their performances, the Mavericks cruised to their 34th win in the season. LUKA DONCIC- A REAL MVP CANDIDATE IN HIS SOPHOMORE SEASON Luka Doncic has been a real sensation this season. After winning the rookie of the year award in the 2018/19 season, Doncic has picked up to become one of the best players in the league. This season he has averaged an impressive 28.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 8.7 assists this season. His performances have made him one of the front-runners for the Most Valuable Player award along with the likes of Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/giannis-antetokounmpo/] and LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] of Los Angeles Lakers. If he manages to win the award this season, he would be the youngest player to win the MVP. Derrick Rose won the award in 2012 at the age of 22. Doncic still has two years before he could break the record. Regardless, he looks like a future legend. 

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic surpassed Kevin Durant for the most 30-point
games by a player before his 21st birthday.

<h2><b>History</b></h2>
The Dallas Mavericks were founded in 1980 as an expansion team in the NBA. However, there were initial doubts when the proposal to add a new team was made in 1978. At the time, the league was in a tight spot with 18 of the 22 teams losing money the previous season. Furthermore, Texas already had the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets. This caused reluctance in forming a new team in Dallas. Despite this, former commissioner Larry O'Brien announced the expansion during the 1978-79 All-Star game. Also, league owners voted in favor of admitting a new team.

<img class="size-full wp-image-421800 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201024214720/1200px-Dallas_Mavericks_logo.svg.png" alt="" width="1200" height="1248" />

The team name Mavericks was chosen from a fan contest. The name was inspired by the TV series <em>Maverick.</em> Interestingly, James Garner, the lead role of the TV show was a member of the ownership group. The Mavs hired former NBA champion head coach Dick Motta as their first head coach. The team drafted Kiki VanDeWeghe of UCLA with the 11th pick of the 1980 NBA draft. Notably, VanDeWeghe refused to play for the team and was then traded.

Ever since the Mavericks were founded, they were on a vicious cycle of rebuilding and tearing down in an attempt to win a championship. The team saw a change in ownership in 2000 with Mark Cuban. The billionaire's arrival brought a newfound energy to the franchise. After losing the Finals in 2006, the franchise won its first title in 2011.
<h2><b>Who is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks?</b></h2>
Mark Cuban is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. The businessman reportedly purchased the team for $285 million in 2000 from previous owner H. Ross Perot Jr. Cuban was a long-time fan of the team and was a season ticket holder. The billionaire even revealed that he decided to buy the team after watching the 1999 home opener. Cuban could not believe the game was not sold out and felt he could make the team better and improve the sale of tickets.

He certainly made the Mavs better on and off the court. In terms of league success, the Mavericks started consistently making the playoffs after his arrival and eventually won a ring in 2011. On the business side of things, he helped popularise the team and made good profits over the years which helped increase its value. Forbes currently values the Mavs at $3.3 billion.
<h2><b>Who is the Head Coach of the Dallas Mavericks?</b></h2>
Dallas Mavericks legend Jason Kidd is the current head coach of the Mavs. He became the head coach of his former team in 2021. Notably, this is his third stint with the Mavericks. The team selected Kidd as the second overall pick in the 1994 NBA draft. The point guard impressed everyone with his passing abilities and was the Rookie of the Year along with Grant Hill. After three seasons, he was traded to the Phoenix Suns.

In the years that followed, Kidd became one of the best playmakers in the league and led the NBA in assists on five occasions. After five years in Phoenix and seven years with the New Jersey Nets, Kidd returned to the Mavs in 2008. He was at the tail end of his career and his scoring average had gone down. However, his assist numbers were still great and helped the team massively. Kidd was an important piece of the Mavs team that clinched the title in 2011. After five seasons from 2007 to 2012, Kidd was traded to the New York Knicks where he finished his playing career after one year.

Kidd was assigned the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets in 2013 immediately after retiring. However, the Nets parted ways after one season. The Milwaukee Bucks announced Kidd as the head coach in 2014. After four seasons, the Bucks fired him. He was hired as an assistant coach by the Los Angeles Lakers under Frank Vogel. Kidd won his first title as an assistant coach for the Lakers in 2020 before becoming the head coach of the Mavericks in 2021.
<h2><b>Team Sponsors</b></h2>
The Dallas Mavericks reportedly signed a multi-year jersey patch sponsorship deal with Chime in 2020. American Airlines obtained the naming rights of the Mavs' stadium in 1999 for a reported $150 million. Some of the other major sponsors of the franchise are Voyager, Jackpocket, Therabody, Betway, DoorDash, etc.

<h2><b>Achievements and Wins</b></h2>
The Dallas Mavericks started their time in the NBA with a debut win against the San Antonio Spurs in the 1980-81 opener. However, the team finished their first season with a poor 15?67 record. The team slowly built momentum in the next couple of years and made the playoffs in the 1983-84 season with the help of stars like Mark Aguirre, Jay Vincent, and Rolando Blackman. They were, however, eliminated in the second round by the Los Angeles Lakers. The Mavs consistently made the playoffs in the next few seasons and won their first division title in 1987. They also made the Western Conference Finals that year but were beaten by the Lakers again.

After decent performances in the next two seasons, the Mavs had a huge drought of ten years without playoff basketball from 1990 to 2000. With the acquisition of Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash in 1998 and the arrival of Mark Cuban in 2000, the Mavs were revived. The team started making the playoffs and made some deep runs. Mavs then reached the 2005-06 NBA Finals and were favorites to win the title against the Miami Heat. The Mavericks took a 2-0 series lead, but the Heat came back strong and won the next four games to clinch the championship. This was a massive blow to the franchise and its fans around the world.

[caption id="attachment_316436" align="aligncenter" width="2000"]<img class="wp-image-316436 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200716203537/ap_clippers_mavericks_2417475.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1532" /> Dallas Mavericks guard Steve Nash (13), from Canada, and forward Dirk Nowitzki (41), from Germany, celebrate a basket against the Los Angeles Clippers during the first half of their game Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2004 in Dallas.

The Mavs continued their playoff appearances in the next few years and again reached the ultimate stage in the 2010-11 season. They went up against familiar foes, the Miami Heat. However, the tables were turned this time around with the Heat being the heavy favorites with the likes of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. On the other hand, the Mavs were an aging squad with Dirk 32, Jason Terry 33, Jason Kidd 32, Shawn Marion 32, and so forth. However, the Mavs were out for revenge. The teams won alternative games and it was 2-2 after four games. The Mavericks won the next two games to win their first-ever title against all odds. Nowitzki was named the Finals MVP for his inspirational performances.

This was followed by a few years of playoff disappointments and a few years of no playoffs. The Mavericks then started to rebuild and acquired superstar Luka Doncic in the 2018 draft from the Atlanta Hawks via trade. Doncic hit the ground running and led the team to their fourth division title in 2021 when they lost the WCF against the Golden State Warriors.
<h2><b>Legendary Players and Coaches</b></h2>
The Mavericks have had many legendary players and coaches on their team over the years. The franchise has so far retired the jerseys of players like Brad Davis (15), Rolando Blackman (22), Derek Harper (12), and Dirk Nowitzki (41). Some of the other superstars to have donned the Mavs' uniform and had a great impact are Mark Aguirre, Michael Finley, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Jason Terry, Luka Doncic and so forth. The Mavericks have been under the leadership of some legendary head coaches like Don Nelson, Avery Johnson, and Rick Carlisle.
<h2><b>Dallas Mavericks? Rivals?</b></h2>
The Mavericks have a fierce rivalry with the Miami Heat because of their clashes in the NBA Finals. While Miami took the first one, the Mavs had their revenge when the teams faced each other for the second time. Even though the rivalry has died down in recent years since the teams are from different Conferences, both teams don't give an inch when they face during the regular season.

Another major rival of the Mavs is the Los Angeles Lakers. The Mavs and Lakers have battled in the playoffs on four occasions and the Lakers have won thrice including a WCF. The Mavs finally came out on top against their rivals by sweeping them on their way to the ring in 2011.

The Mavericks also have an intense rivalry with the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets as all three teams are from Texas. The Spurs and the Mavs have clashed in the playoffs six times. The Spurs have come out victorious on four occasions. The Rockets and the Mavericks have faced each other in the playoffs thrice. The Mavs have won twice.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong><b>Who is Giannis Antetokounmpo?</b></strong></h2>
Giannis Antetokounmpo or the<em> "Greek Freak"</em> is one of those names that have spurred the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_self" rel="noopener">NBA</a> circuit in recent times. Born in Greece to Nigerian parents, Antetokounmpo began playing basketball for the youth teams of Filathlitikos, eventually playing for their senior team. Following this, the power forward declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft in 2013, where Antetokounmpo was drafted with the 15th overall pick by the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Milwaukee Bucks</a>, a team he has been playing for since then. He wears the No. 34 jersey.

Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

Over his career, Antetokounmpo has been an NBA All-Star seven times. Giannis also won two successive MVP trophies in 2019 and 2020 to solidify his status as a star in the league. After multiple seasons of being heavily criticized for his failure to win a title, the power forward silenced his critics winning his first championship and Final MVP in 2021. In the 2023-24 season, he is continuing his top form, with the Bucks now a force to be reckoned with in the East.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Giannis Antetokounmpo's early life </b></h2>
Born in Athens to Nigerian immigrant parents, Charles and Veronica <span style="font-weight: 400">Antetokounmpo</span>, in 1994, Giannis Antetokounmpo grew up in a tough environment, with his family struggling to afford the basics. He started playing basketball around age 7, finding an escape and a passion for the sport. By his mid-teens, he had left school to focus on helping provide for his family, taking odd jobs around the city.

Basketball became more than just a game for the young athlete – it was, perhaps, an opening for a better life. That once far-off dream, however, was soon realized, with Antetokounmpo's first-round selection in the 2013 NBA draft.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife and children</b></h2>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">Giannis Antetokounmpo fathers three children with his fiancee Mariah Riddlesprigger: his two sons Liam, 4, and Maverick Shai, 2, and his new-born daughter Eva Brooke. He has four brothers, Francis, Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex. Two of his siblings are contemporaries in the league, with Kostas securing a championship in 2020 with the Los Angeles Lakers and Thanasis with the Bucks in 2021.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Giannis Antetokounmpo's career timeline</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Drafted 15th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2013 NBA draft, Antetokounmpo was n</span><span style="font-weight: 400">amed to the NBA All-Rookie second team in his first season. Over the next few years, he quickly exceeded expectations, growing into a versatile scorer, lockdown defender, and facilitator all in an athletic 6’11” frame.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He broke out in his third season, averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game and earning the Most Improved Player award. In the 2019-20 season, the Greek had another one of his finer campaigns, putting up 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists to lead the Bucks to their best-ever record in the NBA. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">(56-17). </span></i>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2021, Giannis delivered on his promise by spearheading the Bucks to the NBA title and earning a Finals MVP title in the process. He then went on to sign one of the largest contracts in NBA history, a 5-year $228 million extension with the Bucks.</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Kevin Durant?</h2>
Since entering the league as the 2nd overall pick in 2007, Kevin Durant has established himself as one of the most prolific scorers of the game. Standing at 6'10 with guard skills, his ability to get his shot off against any defender changed the dynamics and the prerequisites of the power forward position. He has won an MVP award, 4 scoring titles, with multiple deep playoff runs, and 2 Finals MVPs while winning back-to-back championships with the Warriors. Injuries, however, have plagued the past few seasons since his Achilles tear in 2019.

[caption id="attachment_2467162" align="alignnone" width="4273"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2467162" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-16T040353Z_348935045_MT1USATODAY22114761_RTRMADP_3_NBA-NEW-YORK-KNICKS-AT-PHOENIX-SUNS.jpg" alt="" width="4273" height="2849" /> Dec 15, 2023; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (35) makes the pass against the New York Knicks in the first half at Footprint Center.

When healthy, Durant performs at an elite level: a facet of the player that was brought to light in his 2022 playoff run, when he carried the Nets without co-stars Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons. Though questions linger about his health, his offensive performances have, nevertheless, secured his legacy.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's early life</b></h2>
Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988, in Washington D.C. The forward spent most of his early life in Prince George's County, Maryland. From a young age, Durant was a very talented basketball star. After graduating from Montrose Christian School, he committed to the University of Texas in Austin in 2006 despite offers from multiple popular programs. After one year of college basketball, KD declared for the NBA draft in 2007. According to reports, he later earned a bachelor's in education with a minor in social work.

Kevin Durant's parents are Wanda Durant and Wayne Pratt. He has three siblings, Brianna, Tony, and Rayvonne. Durant's father abandoned the family when he was an infant and his parents eventually divorced later. The two-time Finals MVP's grandmother helped Wanda in raising him. When KD was 13, Pratt re-entered his life and traveled with him around the country for basketball tournaments.

Durant was once engaged to WNBA star Monica Wright. They started dating in 2013 and were engaged a few months later. However, the engagement was called off, and they reportedly broke up in 2014. He once talked about <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-kevin-durant-once-revealed-why-he-broke-up-with-his-fiancee-i-love-this-girl-but-i-didnt-love-her-the-right-way/" target="_self" rel="noopener">the reason behind the failed relationship</a>.

After this, it was rumored KD dated Cassandra Anderson who is a real estate broker. She was spotted attending his games from the spouses' area during his time with the Warriors. There were multiple social media posts of the two together as well. However, the posts were later deleted. It is unclear whether Durant and Cassandra broke up or whether they are trying to keep it private.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's Net Worth in 2024</b></h2>
Kevin Durant has an estimated net worth of around $300 million, according to various reports. Durant currently plays for the Phoenix Suns, after a blockbuster trade from the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/brooklyn-nets/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> in February 2023. He<span style="font-weight: 400"> is set to earn</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> $46,407,433 during the 2023-24 </span><span style="font-weight: 400">NBA</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> season. The two-time NBA champion also earns tens of millions from endorsements thanks to his popularity and success on the hardwood. Furthermore, KD is also an entrepreneur who invests his well-earned money which has helped him build a business empire. In terms of being the highest-paid athlete in the world, Kevin Durant rounds out the 2023 top ten with $89.1 million.</span>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's career timeline</b></h2>
Kevin Durant was one of the best college basketball stars in the country while playing for the University of Texas. He led the Longhorns to a 25-10 record and clinch 4th seed in the NCAA Tournament. Despite a great game from Durant, the team was eliminated in the second round. For his impressive performances, KD won the National Player of the Year award along with other prestigious accolades. After one year with Texas, he declared for the NBA draft in 2007.

Even though there were some reservations about his lanky build, Durant was expected to be a lottery pick. The Seattle SuperSonics selected KD as the 2nd pick of the draft. However, many still thought that the 6'10" youngster would struggle to play against the well-built stars in the NBA. But that was far from the reality. Durant hit the ground running and won the Rookie of the Year award averaging 20 points per game.

After his rookie year, the franchise moved to Oklahoma, rebranding as the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>. The Slim Reaper continued his ascension and dominated his opponents. The Thunder were one of the best young teams with KD, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden in the lineup. Durant led the team to the 2012 NBA Finals but lost the title to LeBron James' Miami Heat.

KD was arguably in his prime during the 2013-14 season and won the NBA MVP award averaging 32 points. However, team success was still hard to come by as the Thunder were knocked out in the Conference Finals. After two more disappointing seasons in Oklahoma, Durant joined the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a>. He received major criticism for joining the team that beat the Thunder in the Conference Finals the previous year and also for forming a super team.

Durant instantly helped the Warriors with his skill set and experience. The Dubs won two straight titles and KD won the Finals MVP award on both occasions. The Warriors' hunt for a third straight ring in 2019 came up short in the Finals against the Toronto Raptors as KD struggled with injury throughout the playoffs. After some internal issues within the team, Durant left the Warriors and joined the Brooklyn Nets.

This move was again criticized heavily as Kyrie Irving also joined the Nets the same year. However, because of COVID protocol, Irving missed a lot of games. Then in 2021, Durant's former teammate James Harden also joined the team. But the trio barely played together due to various reasons and Harden left after one year. In the 2022-23 season, the Nets started the season poorly but then went on a great run and looked unstoppable. But things changed after Irving requested a trade and moved to the Dallas Mavericks. Durant later joined the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Phoenix Suns</a> in a blockbuster move to play alongside Devin Booker and Chris Paul.

In 2023, <span style="font-weight: 400">Durant announced that he would return to wearing the No. 35 jersey, which he had worn throughout his college and professional career before joining the Nets. The same year, h</span><span style="font-weight: 400">e also finished the regular season shooting over 55% from the field, over 40% from three-point range, and over 90% from the free-throw line, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve those shooting splits in a season. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Durant also passed Hakeem Olajuwon in October for 12th on the all-time career scoring list and became the 12th player all-time to reach 27,000 career points.</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Kristaps Porzingis 2021: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Kristaps Porzingis is a seven-foot-three center who plays for Dallas Mavericks in the NBA. He was born on August 2, 1995, in Liepaja, Latvia. Porzingis was the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Basketball runs in his family as Porzingis? parents Talis and Ingrida both played the game during their younger years. After playing for Latvian youth clubs until he was 15, Porzingis then made the move to Spain where he was sought by Sevilla, a Liga ACB team.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Porzingis initially was given a place in Sevilla?s youth team, but swiftly made his professional debut a year after. He improved his game with the Spanish team and won the EuroCup Rising Star Award in 2015, after which he declared his eligibility for the NBA Draft.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">As for the Latvian?s love life, there are several rumors about his alleged girlfriend on the internet. He has been linked with a few women in the past, but his current girlfriend is reported to go by the name, </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bambie_girl/?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bambi</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Kristaps Porzingis NBA Career</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Porzingis came into the league through the 2015 draft when the New York Knicks used their fourth overall pick to select the Latvian. He became an immediate starter and fulfilled his expectations.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">He dismissed rumors about him being a draft bust and enticed Knicks fans with his dominant displays. Porzingis averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in his first NBA season and finished second behind Karl-Anthony Towns in the Rookie of the Year voting.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Porzingis rose to stardom as a sophomore and put up massive numbers until he tore his ACL in February 2018. This played a huge role in his exit from New York as the injury kept him sidelined for several months.?</span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-335024 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200807082903/https___www.si_.com_.image_MTY5OTQ3OTA4MDIyNDc4MjAx_kristaps-porzingis-mavericks-new.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Knicks too, consequently decided to wait against offering him a rookie extension which made him a restricted free agent in 2019. As a result, the Dallas Mavericks stopped by and pulled off an epic trade for the towering Latvian.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Porzingis then signed a five-year deal with the Mavericks worth $158 million while sitting out the remainder of the 2018-19 season. He made his debut with Dallas the following year and formed a destructive partnership with Luka Doncic.?</span>

<p class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">Luka Doncic has quickly become one of the NBA's most talented young stars since entering the league in 2018. The 24-year-old Slovenian sensation was selected 3rd by Atlanta before being traded to Dallas, where he has shined over his first four seasons.</p>


[caption id="attachment_2596240" align="alignnone" width="7827"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2596240" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2024-01-28T031859Z_401758743_MT1USATODAY22391133_RTRMADP_3_NBA-SACRAMENTO-KINGS-AT-DALLAS-MAVERICKS.jpg" alt="Luka Doncic" width="7827" height="5218" /> Jan 27, 2024; Dallas, Texas, USA; Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (77) reacts to being called for a technical foul against the Sacramento Kings during the second quarter at the American Airlines Center. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
<p class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">He took Spain's ACB League and EuroLeague by storm as a teenager for Real Madrid, winning EuroLeague MVP at 19 before making the jump to the NBA. Doncic has averaged over 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists the past three seasons, earning back-to-back All-NBA First Team nods.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Luka Doncic's early life</b></h2>
Luka Doncic was born and brought up in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Interestingly, Luka first touched a basketball when he was just seven months old as his father, Sasa, was a professional player turned coach. The Slovenian's love for the game increased as he grew older and he continued to improve at a rapid pace as well.

Doncic started playing for his hometown club Union Olimpija and often practiced with kids much older than him because of his advanced skill set. When he was 13, Luka took a huge step in his life and career, when he moved to Madrid, Spain to play for Real Madrid. He graduated high school in Spain and did not go to college.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Luka Doncic's family and personal life</b></h2>
Luka Doncic was born on February 28, 1999 to Mirjam Poterbin and Sasa Doncic. His parents separated and subsequently divorced in 2018 when the Dallas Mavericks star was nine years old. The custody and legal guardianship of Luka was reportedly granted to his mother.

Mirjam was a model who even participated in the Miss Slovenia pageant in 1993. After her modeling career, she ran a beauty salon with her mother. <span class="LrzXr kno-fv wHYlTd z8gr9e">Sasa Doncic</span> played basketball for 17 years and has multiple accolades to his name. He has also played for the Slovenian national team. After retiring in 2010, <span class="LrzXr kno-fv wHYlTd z8gr9e">Saša Dončić </span>started his coaching career in 2022.

According to multiple reports, Luka has been in a long-term relationship with the Slovenian model Anamaria Goltes. Goltes is also from Ljubljana, Slovenia, and went to the same school as Luka when she was young. However, the couple first met in Croatia during a vacation when they were just 12. Goltes is a model who has a massive following on social media. In 2016, Anamaria moved to the U.S. to pursue her modeling career.

The year also marked the start of a romantic relationship between the two childhood friends. The couple reportedly hit a rough patch in 2018 but are still going strong. <span style="font-weight: 400">In July 2023, Doncic got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Anamaria Goltes, and became a father to a baby girl named Gabriela.</span>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Luka Doncic's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Luka Doncic signed a five-year $215 million contract extension with the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/dallas-mavericks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a> in 2021, which earned him over $37 million for the 2022-23 season. The massive contract will fetch him over $40 million for the next season and he will receive an average salary of $43 million. So far, Doncic has reportedly made over $69 million in NBA salaries. Luka has an estimated net worth of $25 million, according to various reports. Furthermore, the combo guard also makes millions every year from his endorsements and partnerships.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Luka Doncic'</b><b>s basketball career</b></h2>
Luka Doncic grabbed the attention of major teams in Europe after impressing with his displays for local club Union Olimpija. In 2012, Real Madrid came calling and signed Luka for a five-year contract when he was just 13. The young star continued his development while playing for the under-16s and led the team to a Minicopa Endesa win in 2013. For his unreal performances, Doncic was named the MVP of the under-16 championship. He carried on his impressive development with the under-18s in the next few seasons.

During the 2014-15 season, Doncic made his professional debut for Real Madrid at the age of just 16. In the next season, he became a regular for the senior team. The years that followed saw the dominance of Doncic grow in the Spanish league. In the 2017-18 season, he led Real Madrid to a EuroLeague triumph and was named the EuroLeague MVP for his displays. He also helped the team clinch the Liga ACB title and took home the Liga ACB MVP honors as well.

Doncic then declared for the 2018 NBA draft. The <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/atlanta-hawks/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Atlanta Hawks</a> selected him as the 3rd overall pick and then traded him on the same day for Trae Young who was drafted as the 5th pick by the Dallas Mavericks. Doncic hit the ground running for the Mavs and won the Rookie of the Year award, averaging 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. He astonished everyone with his maturity on the hardwood and the ability to control the pace of the game despite being very young. Doncic made his first-ever NBA All-Star appearance in his sophomore year. He has made the team for four straight years ever since.

Doncic led the Mavs to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since the 2010-11 season. However, he could not help the team past the eventual champions the Golden State Warriors. Given the teams' heroics in the playoffs last season, there were huge expectations from Luka and the Mavericks for the 2022-23 season. Doncic started the season great and was in the MVP race for most of the campaign. However, the team struggled massively in the concluding stages of the season and failed to make it to the playoffs eventually.

<span style="font-weight: 400">In January 2023, Dončić was awarded the Western Conference Player of the Month award for his play during December, the third of his career. He was also named a Western Conference starter for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, marking his fourth consecutive selection. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">During a game in March, Kyrie Irving scored 40 points while his teammate, Luka Dončić, scored 42 points.

However, he will have to get through the powerhouse teams in the West like the Warriors, Clippers, Grizzlies, and Suns to bring a title to Dallas. </span>
