Magic.
Not the legendary Lakers point guard.
And not the franchise in Orlando.
We’re talking about Luka Magic.
How did a 22 year old take over the NBA?
And how did a 22 year old get himself on the cover of NBA 2K22?
This is the story of Luka Doncic.
This documentary explores the early years of Luka Doncic's life, in Ljubljana - Slovenia, his move to Real Madrid and success in the EuroLeague; and of course his journey through the NBA with the Dallas Mavericks.
Thank you to Jason Terry for his guest appearance, sharing his insight into the young superstar's game, and comparing Luka Doncic to three hall-of-famers.

The court that they refurbished is where me and Luka met, he was shooting on the basket under the trees with grown-ups, while he was 12 and I was the only person shooting on the opposite basket, so he came up to me and asked if I trained basketball, which obviously wasn't the case, and if i'd mind playing with them. I'll never forget that day thinking this kid has an awesome personality and an out of this world behind the back move. His face stuck in my memory till he laced them up for Real Madrid, then I recognized the kid and found out his last name. Life is funny.
Crazy
this is such an amazing story!
Great story to tell your kids ahah
"How I met the GOAT"
Wow!!
He didnt prove everyone wrong. He proved wrong those americans who thought a 40 inch vert. is the most important thing in the nba.
There were plenty of people who saw him as the clear no. 1 pick.
I'm a big Luka fan but athletes with Superior athletic ability run the league don't ever forget that when you name the best players to ever play in the NBA they all had or have it, so those Americans were thinking logically instead of talking big after a 1in a billion player comes from overseas.
@@christophergray3669 Bs
@@christophergray3669 Its okay that you have a different opinion,but thats not a fact at all.
Luka proved himself,nearly nobody doubts this anymore ,i think you are kind of butthurt,because he is not american.
Guilty ASF. JUST DIDN'T THINK HE WAS QUICK OR FAST ENOUGH TO DOMINATE AT THE NBA LEVEL. BOY WAS I WRONG.
Luka didn't prove anyone wrong. all he proved was he was a diva and not willing to go to a franchise with a history of losing. thats why no one picked him before dallas. he basically told them to fuck off then tried to backtrack. poor pheonix hired his lame ass coach to try to sway him but i heard the owner thought he was a dick (takes one to know one sarver) and decided to pick ayton anyway. he's good but he's not even a consistent top 5 player. I like luka but i hate his idiot fans who know nothing about anything. he's not some underdog who everyone doubted he's a one dimensional diva.
it's crazy to think that at 20, he won EVERYTHING POSSIBLE IN EUROPE. That's including the Euro with Slovenia. Just on that he could have been a hall of famer.
Of course. Slovenia with 2 mio of citizens was Eu schampion.
If you think that deserves a HoF spot, go ahead and put random Latino players in there to for winning whatever championships/awards from their non leagues lmao. He is HoF material (first ballot for sure) but that Euro stuff is garnish. The NBA is the best of the best
@@richym3899 gotta be the most racist shit ive read lately
@@BOKItheROCKabsolutely nothing racist about what he said. It’s just dumb.
Imagine saying that a kid that just won the mvp trophy on the second most competitive league won't be a lottery pick, jesus, what did Luka do to hurt that man's feelings?
amen!
he's foreign , white , and dominating the league.
@@lucasmendez2794 Yeah the NBA is mostly made up of black players. Doesn’t help he’s from the Euro league. Look how they treated Jeremy Lin he was declining because of his injuries and getting traded around. He is definitely better than some nba players in the league. Watch the video “how the nba failed jeremy Lin.” He was a top scorer in the g-league tryna get his shot of becoming an nba player again and they just drop his contract and if he was black he’d still be in the nba
Be born with a lack of skin pigment
Has absolultly nothing with the feeelings that dude is just dumb as hell
This is the ultimate "i said so" bragging piece ever. He even put his own clip from back then. Gotta love that.
aha thank you!
Well i mean when you're right, you're right
I love it. This video just shows how great Luka was and how much NBA analysts don't give a fuck about fundamentals and basketball IQ. They're still sleeping on him.
thank you sir! one day i shall replace some of these 'experts' dont worry!
Douche bags
American NBA analysts can’t seem to appreciate or take notice of any league other than NCAA and maybe G league as a feeder of NBA talent. As an Aussie I followed Lamellos season in the NBL and most recently Josh Giddeys. The fact that these so called analysts were shocked that OKC took Giddey so high shows they have no idea what going on in the rest of the world, the kids a stud and will go pretty close to ROTY imo.
There's an absolute anti-euro sentiment in the NBA. It's racist. Let's just say it.
Every team Luka is on will have to design their defense to hide him forever. 100% of his rebounds are bc he’s solo under the rim with 4 guys defending 5 and him standing under the bucket. Can’t run the court, can’t play defense……
Damn... His mother is BEAUTIFUL!
Man it feels good to be a Dallas fan. Get to root for Luka for years to come, both in Dallas and Slovenia
hopefully they get him a second star!
I'm a real Madrid fan. I've been hearing good things about him since he was 15. Good to hear him proving critics wrong
Mark Cuban has a fetish with foreign white guys 🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Naw Luca is like Nash and nowitzki combined.
@@gmoney5947 its probably less about White vs Black people and more about spreading the NBA across Europe.
They want a piece of the soccer revenue over there.
@@Rblock777 this aged well
Why do you guys always leave out Eurobasket gold for Luka in this videos? Its the biggest honor of the slovenian sport history and one of the biggest wins in euro basketball history
Hi Jure, I did not mean to be disrespectful to the amazing achievement at all. If I had included international honours the video would have been even longer so I decided to only showcase club level achievements. Luka mentioned it himself though at 05:55 :)
@@HoopGenius fair play. But its still realy realy a big thing in Europe. And for a such a small country with 2 mil. people it's crazy to even think about it. 🥇🏀
@@jurckastelc facts!!

@@jurckastelc He even said 4 him has more value to win with SLO Olympic Gold as an NBA ring...
3:01 what a mother
"as long as he is happy"
facts
Luka’s Mom is a piece. And very supportive which is nice
As an European NBA fan who loves finesse players ( Curry,Luka, Jokic ) I would love for Luka and The Joker to be a duo later in their career
I love how Goran responded when the interviewer chuckled at the notion Luka is a born winner. Goran is a legend in Europe; he is a master of his craft and possesses a vision of the game most men are not capable of. He knows what he sees.
9:40
The way Goran Dragic said "I'm not kidding" with that face, you knew he's something special!
facts!!
IQ against muscles, love it ! Jokic is another one who is dominating game
facts on facts!
I hate how ignorant people can be you saying Lebron, Jordan,Kobe and a list of other NBA greats don't have IQ you should think before writing y'all been having this supposed IQ overseas and do nothing but lose to American Muscle and IQ. 1guy comes from overseas and look like he has a chance to crack the top 5 greatest players ever and you guys lose your mind. We'll keep getting those Gold Medals Einstein because we got both you haven't realized it yet cause the athletic ability (muscle) got you discombobulated.
@@HoopGenius goes to show you can call yourself anything these days with no merit to show for it
@@christophergray3669 👍 Luka for mvp let’s go
@@arsa4fun I agree Luka for MVP can't wait for him to get my Mavs they second ring
Luka has received the torch from Dirk Nowitzki. I could talk about those 2 names for hours on end. I was at Lukas first home game when it truly dawned on me that this kid was YOUNGER than me! I was also 19 at the time. Luka has blown the doors off of every single expectation set for him and we as a franchise are truly blessed. It’s time to win, and more importantly, enjoy this ride🐐💙 #MFFL
It's like Tim Duncan taking the torch from David Robinson, and then proceeding to burn the whole league down with it.
Same here. He’s 2 months younger than me and. I remember going to a game and sitting right behind the bench the first month he was on the team and he looked so young in the face but he was so tall and huge. I just remember sitting wondering what the fuck I was looking at
True definition of a generational talent.
Luka is fantastic... and his mother is beautiful!
I have to rewatch this right now after Luka scored 30pts or more in his first 7 games this NBA season . The longest 30-point streak to start a season since Wilt Chamberlain in 1962-63
I’m a huge Laker fan and have been my whole life but Luka is hands down my favorite player in the league right now!
His mother seems like a sensible woman, important for young sports stars who could get lost in the dream...
Sensible but supportive, she supported him when he needed it. I never got that from my parents. The only thing I got from my dad was put downs. They supported everything my sister did but when it came to me, nothing, I was the bad daughter.
The second the sac kings didnt draft him you know hes gonna be a star
lmaoooo
@@HoopGenius funny thing is the king's coach is also the Slovenia national coach. So he knew what Luka was about
An absolute monster: people truly forget that he was a pro at age 15, and ruled the Euroleague - which so many people declared was the 2nd best league IN THE WORLD ... I pray he stays healthy, because he is the reason you have NBA2K for me 🙂
Intelligence is his key advisory in basketball. Intelligence is what beats athleticism in the long run while athleticism beats opponents in a short run. Until youbget injured of course.
Love how Dragic stopped the reporter when he laughed and said I’m not kidding… classy move
There was something in the water around his agegroup in Slovenia. Look at how many amazing young athletes they have now. Luka in the NBA, Tadej in cycling
When this pops up in your suggestions a couple of days after he dismantled Phoenix in game 7 🙌🏽
I first became truly aware of Luka when he hit that buzzer-beater vs the Clippers in the bubble and I’ve been watching him since. He could go down as one of the all-time greats when it’s all said and done.
He drop his first 50 points this season...one of ma fav nba player👍🏼
Proud of our son....greetings from 🇸🇮
I like how everything Skip said before the draft became the opposite of what Luka turned into.
skip is such a hater!
Very well done.
His greatest achievement however is winning the Euro basket with his national team (even if he didn't finish the finals).
Is Luka the youngest ever Hall of Famer? I mean, when you look at everything he did internationally - I think he’s HoF before he’s even 21!
facts on facts!
At 19
dang his mom is still super beautiful man. i guess all the good ones are in europe!

This was a triumph! Love everything about it!
love bro!
MVP in the 2nd best league in the world aged 16 and they thought he was gonna be a scrub 🤦😂😂
He was 19, but he made his debut at the age of 16. Very, very few kids started playing at the age of 16 - Dražen Petrović (he started at 15), Arvydas Sabonis, Peja Stojaković, Ricky Rubio are some that come to mind.
@@markomarkovic5729 still how they think he was gonna be a bust based on that alone is beyond me 😂 American won't like to admit it but it's a higher level than NCAA.
@@pandapunk1755 it’s only a higher level than ncaa because euroleague is a professional league with grown men. Ncaa players are playing basketball part-time essentially, as they have to do a full course load to be eligible for a scholarship. Also they’re much younger than euroleague players. And that’s precisely the reason why NCAA players get drafted more than euroleague, there’s more talent in the NCAA although euroleague is probably more skilled due to older players.
Also I think a lot of ppl were doubting Luka cuz there’s just been so many players who came from the euroleague, were hyped as the next big thing, and then sucked.
Yea I know fair enough. Basketballs a minor sport in most European countries in comparison but the Spanish league is big. That's were most good players fi Euro come from and it's not like every player from the NCAA becomes a super star plenty of bust out of there too. But Luca ya only need to watch him for 2 minutes and see he's a different beast
@@markomarkovic5729 I wish Sabonis came to the NBA earlier in his career. I think he would’ve been great.
He and other great Non-American players are AMAZING, Most of the Americans just can't admit it because they think the world revolves around them. They got child-like small-minded ego.
We as Americans recognize that Non American born players are amazing, that's why we draft them to play with the best players on the planet with the best League on the planet the best should play with the best not the subpar competition and leagues not in America when somebody besides the Americans win Gold maybe we'll lose our child-like small-minded ego
You show respect by properly using capitals with American then you attack us? Whatever, we love Luka and we are not giving him back.
@@teabagger0871 For every action is a reaction you can read the bitterness in these statements about America and you talk about being attacked. I'm a Dallas Maverick fan and Luka fan and even if I wasn't there's no denying his greatness. I posted cause of the name calling of Americans cause some got it wrong out of the hundreds that were said to be the next great finally you got one and they act like how could you not see it, what about all the scrubs before him that failed.
@@christophergray3669 Australia just won bronze in basketball and no one in Australia cares about basketball. Its a fringe sport. Its tiny here. With your population, the popularity of basketball in The USA and the amount of money and systems in place to develop talent in your country USA shouldn't even lose a game. Yet you do. If USA doesn't win gold that would be so embarrassing. The gap between USA and other countries should actually be much larger.
@@christophergray3669 just watch this and EAD ! Greets from Germany
czcams.com/video/twtDPR-Y1xQ/video.html a nice american girl explains everything why americans are so salty when its about "their" sports :D
This was very well done. I've seen a lot of documentaries/clips of luka's come up, but I learned a lot through your video, props!
thank you Stefan!
@@HoopGenius Thank you!
Watching his highlights for the first time I thought "he really has fun out there!" so it was no surprise to hear him say it, that "you have to remember to always have fun with it". The secret of success in so many things.
Luka was responsible for making me interested in Euro basketball.
It's hard to believe that this absolute Chad is my age.
Makes me want to hit the gym even harder.
Clean, creative, beautiful. Good things are coming to this channel 🧡
appreciate you king
Luka is fundamentally prepared… Good control, excelent dribbling, excelent footwork and the most important thing great work ethic & deep passion to basketball…
"...in Sacramento Kings fashion, the Sacramento Kings messed up."
LOL
ahhahah
Luka is just something else! Great work as always!
appreciate you dawg
Best Player in the World
Dude with everything he has done in Europe alone he would be HOF
people always forget its the BASKETBALL hall of fame not just NBA hall of fame, so youre right
@@HoopGenius Hof ?.... you have many players done better in europa then dončić
@@amando90 I don’t think there are many players in Europe that did so many things on just 3-4 seasons being just a teenager. My first time on a basketball court was on a match with Arvydas Sabonis three years before he played for Real Madrid. White hair. Trust me, mate: he did in 3 seasons what others needed 12 years to reach. Some records and trophies are not listed on the video.
@@amando90 name?
Dražen Petrović in 2 yers
Loved it all! Great breakdown too. Keep it up Mo 👏🏽
thank you!!
The fact u ask the interview questions yourself is next level u deserve more subs
This video is a masterpiece, congrats dude!!
Glad I found your channel! Keep up the great work.
Never really paid a lot of attention to Luka. But watching him in these playoffs has Def made me more curious. Love his history and thinking this dude is so young, how is he possibly this good? Now I know. Thx for this. I do believe this kid will see many rings if he gets surrounded by the right people. Just pray he doesn't become just a stats builder. He deserves better than that. We are lucky to witness Luka becoming one of the greats. GODSPEED
Dallas is blessed to have Luka.
Experience and skills beyond his age when he entered the league as a rookie. More experience in a professional league than basically all American collegiate athletes going up to the NBA.
Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, Durant these guys were playing with grown men from age 17-18. Luka was playing with grown men at 15-16. Damn!!
respect is due!
2 favorite player. .Bron and luka🔥🐐🐐
legendary
The kid is from my country and as a Slovenian i am proud of him
Excellent video!! Keep up the good work!
he's the best player in the NBA right now and the closest thing I've ever seen to Larry
Everyone : Luka Doncic
Stephen A smith : Luka Donchick
Donchich is a better transliteration than either of those
This video was amazingly put together. Well made and good information! Very clear and entertaining to watch. Subbed right after watching this solid video! Love the content and the time you put into this!
thanks man, really appreciate you!
It's a hell of a vid bro! I just came here to watch what kind of new things I'll find out about Luka and didn't expect too much to be honest, but it simply makes me want to see what else have you got out there on your channel, I see that you're quite fresh man on YT, but if the quality will be as good as this one, you'll definitely have my sub. Thanks for this cool story man! Luka is life, Luka is love! :)
Luka was by far would have been my first pick in that draft, as was Curry in his draft class. Intangibles are just as important than tangibles.
Thoroughly enjoyed this....this was quality! Smashed it! 🎥 🔥
thank you man!
I understand why teams would be apprehensive due to past euro league stars not really showing up in the NBA. But the supposed "analysts" in the media were saying he would be a bust were just ignorant and it was satisfying seeing Luka prove them wrong.
He is a good deffender and he is an absolute beast when it comes to scoring the guy has been on fire past two months he was still putting up good numbers before that and he wasn't even in shape yet,MVP.
im big soccer(football) fan and since luka was in Real Madrid.. 3 years ago i start following basketball i didnt know the rules or anything about basketball but i start following cause of luka now i consider myself a fan i watch full games not just the mavs ..i wait for big games and watch them and i see luka doing great things in the NBA..
Yeah he's crazy. As if the last couple months he's the best player in the league.
Luka and Joker great players and humans 🖖🇷🇸❤️🇸🇮
This channel underrated af where’s the true bbal eu fans? We need to support this. Peace from balkans ✌️
I cannot wait to see Luka winning the NBA championship with Mavs! When that happens,i think that will be the moment to remember forever.Because that would put the seal on the one of the most accomplished career in basketball history.He had won everything in Europe.At club level,,,he even become European champion playing for his country... no one could predict that...just look from where, and when it all have begun...he was winning from when he was a child.The NBA championship would be the crown of it all.You must love this story.It is beautiful!
Sadly Luka sucks today...no chance of winning the championship
Thanks for the great content👍. Keep it up boy💪
thank you, I definitely will!
Great job, thank you!
Respect!
thank you!
Well done! Thanks,
More of these please Mo. Great content
got you!
thanks for the video man, good job, keep it up
thank you so much!
Luka has been arguably the most fun-to-watch along with Curry and Kyrie. There’s a good chance he could average a triple-double in a season shortly. Dončić has unbelievable vision and basketball IQ, not just for someone his age but for an NBA star in general. Add the clutch gene and the “it factor” on top of all this, and you have Luka Dončić. He could be the face of the NBA in just a few short years.
He is the wrong color to be the "face" of the NBA. They'd call it white supremacy or some shit
Luka is beyond Curry and definitely beyond Crying Kyrie
Awesome stuff as ever🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽
thank you bro!
Great episode! So professional! Thanx man
thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Luka is a beast I definitely know he's gonna win a couple of chips and he's only 22 competing, beating elite players in there're prime. That's crazy
quality content, man! more Luka vids pls
thank you sir! i already have a few other is you search on my channel page! hopefully more great moments this season
Great video bro, thanks!
That shot of the top of the backboard was basketball genius.
This video is aging beautifuly
proved me right, I've been calling the next best player in the world since he was 15.
As a euro knick fan who communicates with alot of American fans on a knick fan forum i can confirm there where ALOT of american Knicks fans who where all for tanking for Luka and taking him number one.. alot of people knew. For gods sake Ryan Hollins saw it coming ( tbf he saw him live, it doesn't take more honestly to be convinced) it doesn't take a genius.
imagine luka at MSG every night.... unbelievable scenes!
@@HoopGenius no thanks, from mavs fan !
You deserve to have x100 more subbs. That was really good video man. Thanks
Luka is a mensch! Great piece you've done on him.
Your style is awesome mate! Keep up this format, is a breath of fresh air.
thank you g!
At 5:30 he had another big accomplishment that wasn't mentioned, he won Eurobasket (he played for Slovenia) and he was the second best player on his team on that championship (back then Goran Dragic played better than Luka).
So, much respect for the breakdown. But as for Europeans who made an impact on the NBA. Just want to give respect to Drazen Petrovic.
He definitely special and NBA fans recognized his talent real fast
It is just the beginning...
Great video.🙌
thank you!
Its his... what... fourth season? the worst thing he can do to himself is to overwork and damage himself. I hope someone is telling him against it. How many times have we seen it? vc? tmac? drose? even kobe. Rest is important. You dont want him to be injured and lose everything. This is as close to a new goat we can get.
As a Dallas MavS fan, the moment he came to NBA and in that team is a big Catch!, I feel that one day, in a not predicted time, soon He will be the Second Superstar player to bring the Champ Title for the Mavs.
His mother is just so lovely 😍😍
YES! HE MAKES EVERYONE AROUND HIM LOOK BETTER AND HE'S NOT A SHOW OFF! HE'S A TEAM PLAYER! LOVE THIS KID! LARRY BIRD REINCARNATION! LEBRON WHO?
Really well put together! Luka is pure magic
thank you sir, i appreciate you! luka is amazing too!
great job bro
WHAT A WONDERFUL CONTINUING STORY!
Anze Kopitar, Goran Dragic, Jan Oblak, Tadej Pogacar and now Luka Doncic. Slovenia barely has 2 million people, the population of Houston in Texas, yet they seem to spit out world class athletes left and right.
amazing!
You forgot Roglič gold medal OI Tokio, Janja Garnbret gold medal ( sport climbing ), Savšek gold medal ( kanu ) Tina Trstenjak silver medal ( judo) and we could list more!🇸🇮💪
It is true Luka seems slower than most and not very athletic but the thing is that he almost always calculate every move and that makes him score or get an assist with what it seems be low effort. He doesn't need a lot of space to score, almost every time he has a defender on his face when shooting threes but that doesn't seem to affect him. When he starts getting double teamed he will get the assist or at least move the ball around to get the open guy. Very smart player and deadly accurate. Imagine being 19 and saying you had a triple-double in the NBA in your rookie season, what a beast.
Sick video mo keep it up brother
thank you Wes!
Americans don’t seem to understand that some of the greatest athletes of all time were some of the smartest of all time as well. Sheer strength is just not enough to become the best.
