UNINTERRUPTED | Wondery
About this episode

Mind the Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash is honored to welcome in, brand new member of the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Doncic. In part 1 of our episode with Luka, we talk to him about his transition from the Dallas Mavericks to the Lakers and playing with his childhood idol, LeBron James. We also dig into how he fell in love with basketball in Slovenia and moving to Spain to play for Real Madrid. Finally, we do a deep dive on a topic that is near and dear to our hearts, youth basketball. Luka has commissioned a study called ‘Inside Youth Basketball’ through his the Luka Doncic Foundation that studies the impact of youth basketball in Europe and the United State. This is an amazing conversation with part 2 dropping soon so be sure to follow and subscribe to Mind the Game wherever you consume your podcasts.
