Doncic: I fell in love with basketball because I was not very good at playing other sports when I was a child 🤣

Recently, Lakers player Doncic participated in the podcast program "Brain of the Field" hosted by James and Nash.

Nash: "How did you fall in love with basketball?"

Doncic: "For me, I have not performed well in other sports, except football, but I don't play as good as you. Yes, I have tried many sports, such as tennis, football and basketball. I have played volleyball too. For me, participating in sports is a pleasure in itself. After school, I like to go outdoors and go out almost every day. Although I play various sports, I still play basketball most of the time."

Nash: "Because your father, Sasa, also played in the European Basketball League, was very good. "

Doncic: "He's just okay, average level, haha."

Nash: "But my dad is a football player, so I've been playing football in the backyard since I was a kid, and that's definitely an impact on you."

Doncic: "Yes, of course. I went to see his game, and when I started to be a caddie, those were European basketball league games, I was a caddie for Olympiacos, and I gradually got into and fell in love with basketball. Before the game and at halftime, they allowed us to enter the field, and I would seize the time to practice shooting."
