The Dallas Mavericks are looking to improve the roster around Luka Doncic this offseason, but first, the 22-year-old superstar was trying to lead his native Slovenia to the Olympics. The country of just over 2 million has never played in the event. Doncic was determined to get them there.
They reached the finals of the Qualifying tournament by defeating Venezuela behind a masterful performance from Luka. Lithuania stood in the way of the championship and a spot in Tokyo.
