Shaquille O’Neal and Luka Doncic recently linked up in Slovenia when Shaq came over to play a DJ set in the country. While the videos of Doncic dancing with Shaq went viral and were quite funny, there was a much deeper story behind Shaq and Doncic being on that stage in that Slovenian club together.
Doncic knows how to treat people he knows that visit his country with respect and some of the best hospitality. Even though Shaq didn’t fly across the pond on Luka’s say-so, the Dallas Mavericks guard made sure to take care of the basketball legend once his wheels touched down in the Eastern European country.
According to Shaq on his ‘The Big Podcast’, he revealed that Luka had Shaq picked up from the airport and taken to a four bedroom villa, which was already stocked with pizza, fruit, and hookah.

“Shoutout to Luka. When I arrived at Luka’s town, some people picked me up. They drove me to a mansion that Luka had set up for me. I had the pizza there. I had the hookah, I had the fruit. They escorted me to the show. Then Luka said, ‘Shaq, nothing’s gonna happen to you in my town, Mr. O’Nealovich’. That’s what they call me over there. Shoutout to Luka and Goran Dragic for setting it up for me. I got there, and Luka said, ‘we know you’re staying in a hotel but we want you to stay someplace else’. It was right there on the water, four-bedroom villa. He had that bloomings hookah with him.”
Luka is no longer the young kid on the block after completing his 4th season in the league. He is hosting legends of the sport in his country casually and leaving them with a tremendous impression of himself. This experience will enrich the relationship between Doncic and Shaq. Hopefully, it can result in some hilarious Inside the NBA moments next season.
