#i tried calling my cousin for the basketball knawledge but he didn't answer so f him

[brettpesce]

im under instructions to spam u with doncic related asks,,, so as someone who genuinely only knows abt doncic due to like one (1) doncic/heiskanen fic,,, can i have a primer on doncic or a link to one? he is v tall and i am 4'10" so there is an Appeal 👀

did u come here from emma jdkfjs

i wrote a lot more than i meant to, so i’m putting it under the cut. if you’re seeing this on mobile i’m sorry idk if read mores work on mobile anymore tumblr is wack

tl;dr

luka is v tall. if you came from emma you’ve probably seen the pic of luka and miro with each other’s jerseys, but there’s a video. and also this article. luka’s like 6’7”. miro’s in his skates. ( also imagine if dallas had both the nba roy and calder trophy winner, but miro wasn’t even a finalist and b*nnington was, haha yes i’m still bitter )

ok so

first things first i’m not a hundo percent knowledgable on basketball. what i know about it is v elementary. but either way here is this draft profile on reddit my cousin sent me way back when. and there are actually SO MANY video essays/analysis on his basketball on youtube. here’s one. here’s another one. here’s one from last season. there’s also this docu on the euroleague channel

basically:

at 13 signed with real madrid and moved to spain. pro debut at 16 ( like me n him are the same age. y’know what i was doing at 16? almost failing my driving test n crying abt it ) won euroleague finals with real madrid in 2018 and named euroleague mvp.

at eurobasket 2017, he played for slovenia and won gold

at the 2018 nba draft he was selected third overall by the atlanta hawks and was traded to the dallas mavericks in exchange for trae young and a 2019 first round pick.

he won nba rookie of the year for the 2018-19 season.

he recently passed jason kidd’s record for the most triple-doubles in mavs franchise with 22 and has already accomplished so much

luka is just!! it’s so much fun watching him play. even my old roommate—who knows nothing about sports, had probably never watched a sport in her life—would be excited to watch games. he has fun out there. he’s v passionate. sometimes one might even say a little “““intense”””. like you can tell when he’s frustrated, he’s ripped his jersey twice out of frustration. ( the last time he did it they were wearing the city jerseys so like…. i don’t blame him jfkdjf )

he speaks four languages. FOUR. slovenian, serbian, spanish, and english. here’s luka doing a postgame in slovenian. here’s luka ( and kristaps! ) doing media for the mexico city games. here’s luka speaking to the crowd before the mexico city game.

ok edit: bc joce wants me to talk abt his tattoos ( joce i swear me and emma did talk abt it ) here’s luka getting his eurobasket tattoo. he has “non desistas/non exieris” a number “7” and a tiger on the inside of his forearm. on the other side he has an eagle and the eye of providence. he has a tat on his back/shoulder but i can’t tell what it is
