Luka Dončić whirls the US sport so confused that at the beginning of the week, suddenly old certainties no longer apply. This raises a question: How relentless do athletes have to be for a great career?
The orange ball has to go through the ring, basketball is so easy. Or, as Dirk Nowitzki once philosophized with wonderfully low body tension: “I can throw a ball into a basket relatively well.” Well, he could even do it so well that they put a statue in America. It stands in Dallas in front of the hall of the Mavericks, the NBA club in which Luka Dončić, 25, Nowitzki’s successor should be. The man from Ljubljana with the common mecki on his head whirls the US sport so confused that at the beginning of the week, suddenly old certainties no longer applied.
