Luka Doncic believes in himself and his Slovenian national team. That power of belief has gotten his country far past the point many may have projected for them, and there is no reason that Doncic cannot have that same kind of effect on the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2025-26 NBA season.
Doncic powered Slovenia past Italy in the Round of 16 at EuroBasket 2025 with another dominant performance. The superstar point guard put up 42 points, 10 rebounds, and three steals in a 84-77 win. Doncic shot 11-of-19 from the field, 5-of-11 from beyond the arc, and 15-of-16 from the free throw line.
