When ‘Nervous’ Luka Doncic Met Cristiano Ronaldo
The Slovenian basketball sensation Luka Doncic was in awe when he encountered the iconic Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in Madrid. Despite establishing himself as an NBA standout with the Dallas Mavericks, Doncic reminisced on the unforgettable experience of meeting Ronaldo during his formative years at Real Madrid.
Luka humorously revealed that he was left speechless, unable to muster the courage to engage in conversation or fulfill his youthful dream of inquiring about driving one of Ronaldo's famed sports cars.
As covered by Bleacher Report in 2022, the 2018 NBA draft recalled his early encounter with Ronaldo and said, "He came here when I was 13. That was seven years ago. We'd do like Christmas dinner with everybody - soccer player, basketball players. I was sitting with him at the table.”
"I was like 16 when I met him and I was so nervous. I couldn't even talk, so I didn't ask anything. One thing I wanted to, you know, always was to drive one of his cars. He has so many cars. Amazing car collection. I love cars," he added.
