- Luka Doncic wants to win the FIBA World Cup with Slovenia
- The superstar mentioned that the goal is “always the same”
- The FIBA World Cup will include other tough squads like Canada and the United States
Superstar Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the league, and many believe that it is only a matter of time before he wins the MVP award. This summer, Doncic will be leading the Slovenian national team in the FIBA World Cup, and it seems as though he has high expectations for the tournament.
When speaking to the media recently, Luka Doncic revealed his aspirations to bring a gold medal in the FIBA World Cup, noting that every time he goes into a tournament, the “goal is always the same”.
“The goal is always the same. Every time we go to a championship, the goal is to win it,” Doncic said, per BasketNews. “What happens is another topic. The goal is always the same for me.”
There is no doubt that the Slovenian national team will look to Luka Doncic to carry them, as he is by far the best offensive player on the squad. It’ll be interesting to see whether they can win this summer, and they’ll have to go through tough squads like Canada and the United States to get to their ultimate goal.
This past season with the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic averaged 32.4 PPG, 8.6 RPG, and 8.0 APG for the Dallas Mavericks. We will see what sort of numbers he ends up putting up in the FIBA World Cup, but his role with the national team is likely to be similar as it is with the Mavericks.
Many Have High Expectations For Luka Doncic Ahead Of Next Season
There is no doubt that Luka Doncic’s best years are ahead of him, and many have high expectations for him. In fact, JJ Redick previously explained why he believes Luka Doncic is “poised for an outstanding season”.
“He’s as competitive as they come and he wants to win. And what I think Dallas has done is they’ve built a roster around him and Kyrie that makes sense on paper and we’ll see how it plays out. But the two of them together, figuring out how to play with each other in a limited span last year, getting a full training camp, Luka coming into camp in shape. I think Luka’s poise, is as good as he’s been. I think Luka’s poised for an outstanding season, an outstanding season of winning basketball, which gets me excited.”
Hopefully, we do see Luka Doncic thrive next year. Playing with his national team means that he will come into the season better than ever, and we’ll see what happens in the future.
