On the Road Tripping podcast, James discussed Luka Doncic. “I wanted to start ‘Team LeBron’ and have Luka as my first signing with Nike,” James said. However, it seems the guys at Nike weren’t ready for him yet; Doncic ultimately signed with Jordan – although James doesn’t know if Luka knows this.”

Doncic, who considers James his idol, realized what an honor it was when someone sent him a photo of James back then. This week, Doncic addressed the matter and shared how he feels: “I felt special,” he said. “Someone sent it to me that day – that’s how I got to know about it. It’s something special; something I can’t explain”.

On December 27, 2019, the Dallas Mavericks took to social media to announce their 2019 roster.

Last December, Doncic signed his deal with Jordan Brand. Spanning five years, it is worth more than New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson’s five-year, $75 million deal. Though it has been deemed “lucrative”, no specific figure was disclosed.

Before his deal with Jordan, Doncic was a sneaker-free agent. Even before the 2019-20 season began, there had been rumors about an impending Jordan brand collaboration circulating.
