EuroLeague's MVP Dončić, member of Madrid Real until June, is of course the focus of attention, since Nowitzki has been already turned 40 on 19 June. "I am very happy in Dallas. In Madrid we had quite a few veterans and I learned a lot from them. I learned how to be a professional and to have respect for the game. When Sergio Llull was injured, I stepped into the foreground. The coach told me that my time had come. I have taken advantage of this opportunity to make the best out of it," said Doncic.

He can't believe he's on the same team as the legendary Dirk
The best European in the history of the NBA League, of course, also made an impression on Dončić: "I quickly started to get along well with all of the players in Dallas. I'm usually more shy, I do not say much if I do not know people. Everyone accepted me, especially the coaching team. I'm really looking forward to playing with Dennis Smith, who has a great deal of excitement, he has greatly improved the shots and the defense will have many problems with him. I can't believe that I will be in the same team with the legendary Dirk. It's really a special honor. I hadn't fully realized that I was in the same team with him until the first practice. "

He'll also find a restaurant with chevapcici
Speaking about life in Dallas, Doncić said: "I quickly found my way around the city, but I did not find Spanish restaurants. I also like chevapcici, I go to Croatia every year and there is this specialty. I hope that there is also a good Balkan restaurant here. In Slovenia, I usually spend only about five days a year in Slovenia, I probably spend a few more days in Croatia. "

Dallas will play the introductory match of the regular part of the NBA League on 17 October 17 in Phoenix, which is led by Igor Kokoškov. The first match at the American Airlines Center will be played three days later against Minnesota.
