Luka Doncic says a gold medal in Tokyo would be better than an NBA title
Tomorrow Slovenia will face Lithuania in the final of the Pre-Olympic
Luka Doncic with his usual dominance in Slovenia’s victory against Venezuela in the semifinal of the Kaunas Pre-Olympic.
The Slovenian star ended the game with 23 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists, one step away from yet another triple-double.
In the post-match Doncic confirmed his enormous love for the Slovenian national team, declaring that he would prefer gold at the Olympics to an NBA title with the Mavs.
“I would say the gold medal with Slovenia, you play for your country and it’s something really, really special. But I wouldn’t mind both of them …”.
Slovenia will face Lithuania (who just defeated Poland) in the final tomorrow.
“It would be amazing. It would be a dream to be in the Olympics. Not just me, I think the whole federation of Slovenia and the whole country. They really cheer for us and I hope we get to that.”
