Doncic was drafted in 2018, but had a lot of experience playing in Europe before his NBA break.

He first started playing basketball when he was just seven months old.

Born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Doncic idolized LeBron James.

His talent was evident from a young age, playing alongside players aged 10 when he was 7 years old.

As a teenager, Doncic played for one of Europe’s leading clubs, Real Madrid.

However, it was only a matter of time before he moved to the NBA and cashed in.

The Slovenian star was drafted 3rd overall in 2018 by the Atlanta Hawks and traded to the Dallas Mavericks.

It was a decision that still haunts Hawks fans to this day, with Doncic becoming a three-time All-Star.

On Christmas Day, he had a dream matchup with his icon, James.

He once waited for his jersey outside James’ locker room.

At the age of 19, Doncic was already a full-fledged basketball star with many years of professional experience.

Yet, in his debut season with the Mavericks, he approached his first matchup with James with the excitement of a little kid going to Disneyland for the first time.

“I’ve been waiting for this game and it was very special to me,” he said at the time.

Doncic had 14 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds as he and the Mavericks went to LA for their clash with the Lakers.

And during the game, he made James promise to get the jersey he wore in four MVP games.

After the Mavericks lost 114-113, the young guard stood in the hallways of then-Staples Center, patiently waiting for a great gift.

“I always wanted his jersey,” Doncic said at the time.

Team officials eventually handed him a signed Lakers No. 23 top with a message from James.

Doncic is one of the next generation of stars ready to take over the mantle from LeBron.

He now lives a luxurious lifestyle worthy of a basketball king.

Doncic lives in a sophisticated $2.7 million four-bedroom mansion in Dallas.

And this week, he made headlines when he arrived at an NBA game in a $200,000 “apocalypse-proof” jeep.

The 23-year-old has plenty of cars and properties to buy if he continues to perform on the court.
