This essay is on the topic – my favorite sportsperson. My favorite sportsperson is Luka Doncic, a famous basketball player. I just admire the way he performs in a game. This essay is dedicated to the talented Luka. Almost all of us love sports. Almost all of us sports enthusiasts have a favorite sport and sportsperson. In my case, I love more than just one sport. I love basketball, football, boxing, racing, and athletics.
Among them, basketball is my absolute favorite sport. And my favorite sportsperson is also a basketball player! I’m a huge fan of Luka Doncic. I’ve been watching his games and following him for quite some time now.
Thanks to social media and the internet, it has become easier to follow our favorite stars now. It also allows us to take a look into their life outside the basketball court. On the court, he is an absolute beast who likes to give it his all. He is a fighter and has a winning mentality. No matter what the situation is, he never refuses to give up. His ‘never give up’ attitude is quite evident during games.
If his team is winning, he won’t let that fact affect his level of concentration. Even if his team is sitting on a comfortable lead, he will maintain a very high level of focus. And if his team is trailing behind, he will give it his all to take back the lead! This is the way he plays the game.

His playing style has made him quite popular among fans and spectators. He is a tall guy standing at six feet and seven inches. He fills the guard position of the team. Point guard, shooting guard, small forward – he has attributed all these positions/roles.
Let us talk about his early life and career now. Luka Doncic was born in Slovenia. His father is a former basketball player and coach. His father played a huge role in his early career and development. From a very young age, little Luka was interested in basketball.
By the time he was one year old, the tiny Luka used to play basketball in his room with a miniature hoop. Growing up, he started playing different types of sports. Eventually, he decided to pursue basketball seriously. His tall stature, natural talent, and skills were tailor-made for basketball.
Growing up, his idols were LeBron James and Vassilis Spanoulis. Let us talk about his youth career now. He began playing basketball at his hometown club Union Olimpija. He was asked to play with children belonging to his age group (eight). Within a few minutes, he managed to convince the coaches to put him in a senior age group. He absolutely dominated against children of his age. His next move came when he was signed by the Spanish club Real Madrid. The transfer was made when he was just thirteen years old.
He made his professional debut for Real Madrid in 2015. Within a season or two, he developed his game so much so that he started attracting attention from spectators, coaches, and media alike. He was termed a talented young player in the early stages of his career at Real Madrid. And he rose to the challenge pretty well and had some solid seasons at the club. He even had an MVP season at Real Madrid.
His next big move came when he signed for Dallas Mavericks. As of now, he is still playing for Dallas Mavericks. He has managed to carry the same work rate and dedication to the NBA as well. Coaches, spectators, fans, sports journalists – they have nothing but praise for Luka Doncic.
He is still very young and has a long way to go. So far, he has won many accolades and honors. Prominent ones include – the NBA Rookie of the Year, EuroLeague championship, EuroLeague MVP, Liga ACB, Spanish King’s Cup and more.
At a very young age, Luka Doncic has achieved so much. Without hard work, dedication and determination, none of this would have been possible! As they say, talent alone won’t let you thrive at the highest level. Along with talent, one must also be willing to do hard work, stay disciplined and consistent. Luka has all of these qualities and he will continue to perform at the highest level for a very long time.
