Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks will enter a new phase of his career on Thursday night as he participates in his first NBA Finals game.
This is a huge moment for the Slovenian star and it could be a turning point in his career.
Speaking on “The Big Podcast,” Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki spoke about how nothing bothers Doncic or gets under his skin.
Nowitzki said that Doncic has been playing professional basketball for years now and has gone through quite an experience while being in Europe.
“He’s seen and done a lot of stuff before he even came over… he just can’t be rattled,” Nowitzki said.

Doncic had already played a lot before he stepped into the NBA.
During his years as a youth, Doncic competed against a number of tough opponents and performed in the high-stakes, high-intensity world of European basketball.
That helped him in some huge ways and led to him being the player that he is today.
Now, Doncic is known as someone who isn’t afraid of big moments and even bigger competitors.
Some say he is fearless and never afraid of doing what it takes to win.
He will need that attitude on Thursday night because the Boston Celtics are a very tough opponent and they are the odds-on favorites to win the Finals.
With that being said, Doncic and his Mavericks have impressed many people over the last few months and have turned into a very strong team.
Nowitzki says that nothing rattles Doncic and Mavericks fans hope that is true when the Finals tip off.
