The Mavericks legend continues his charitable giving with a gift to the neighbourhood where he was born and raised.

Whether it is on or off the court, Luka Doncic never misses a chance to make an impact.

The Mavericks guard and cover hero of NBA 2K22 revealed a project in his hometown of Ljubljana, Slovenia, in partnership with 2K Foundations, the charitable arm of 2K. The refurbishment of the court where he grew up includes new lighting, seats, and, naturally, Doncic’s logo.

The freshly built court features a unique style that Doncic came up with in conjunction with graphic designer Nejc Prah.

“Today is a day that I am really looking forward to.” My childhood in Ljubljana is filled with lovely memories. “During my childhood, these courts were where I studied and practiced the game,” Doncic said. “It is a privilege to be able to give back to the city and country that have given me so much, and I love them. I am overjoyed that kids will be able to play on the same courts and dream big like I did.”

Take a peek at the state-of-the-art courts that Luka Doncic envisioned for Ljubljana, his hometown,…

As an official dedication to his hometown, Doncic autographed the court during its unveiling. Then, invites were made to neighbourhood children to participate in basketball scrimmages, 3-on-3 games, dribbling clinics, and difficulties.picture: picture: picture: picture

Naturally, Doncic wanted to make sure that the courts were still available to the people in the area. We can only hope this opens the door for yet another Slovenian superstar to make his NBA debut soon.

It is a great privilege to see Luka come back to his hometown and devote these courts to it. “We are proud of all that he has done for our country, not just in the NBA but also at the Olympics, where he continues to represent Slovenia globally,” said Zoran Janković, the mayor of Ljubljana. “Ljubljana, both the city and the country, adores him.”

Doncic has helped out other people in the past. Doncic contributed $1.25 million to the Dallas Mayor’s Disaster Relief Fund and various local organisations in response to the severe winter storm that hit Dallas earlier this year. Other contributors included Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, CEO Cynt Marshal, teammates Tim Hardaway Jr., Maxi Kleber, and Dwight Powell, as well as other Mavericks players.

After another month, he sent the healthcare personnel at UT Southwestern 100 pairs of Jordan 1s as a token of appreciation for all they had done and are doing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
