Mavericks icon Dirk Nowitzki joined the DLLS Mavs Podcast to uplift Luka after the challenging Finals defeat, urging him to maintain his current approach.
“Well, just keep playing your game,” Nowitzki advised. “I know this wasn’t the outcome you wanted, but you’re just beginning—you’re only 25. Sometimes a bit of disappointment can motivate you to return even stronger, work harder, and develop into an even better player, if that’s possible.”
Nowitzki went on to commend Doncic’s consistency and potential: “Honestly, he just needs to keep doing what he’s doing. He’s an amazing player, performing at the highest level, and he’s MVP-caliber every year. Staying healthy and looking after your body is crucial—it’ll be another long season,” the German legend concluded.
