Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic are two of the NBA’s biggest stars, both hailing from Europe and sharing a noticeable bond. Their mutual respect is well-known, and many are starting to speculate on whether that bond might lead to a future partnership.
Speculation about a potential Jokic-Doncic duo isn’t new. Jokic has been asked about the possibility and didn’t shy away from saying he’d welcome the idea, but with the caveat that it would have to happen in Denver, as his loyalty to the Nuggets remains strong.
Recently, it was former Dallas Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki who happened to chime in on the speculation. Like Jokic, Nowitzki is on board with the idea of a partnership, but he’s rooting for the Nuggets center to join Doncic in Dallas instead.
Per Eurohoops:
“They both have a great relationship with each other, they respect each other and like each other genuinely. They spend time with each other. I’m not sure, but of course, we want Luka in Dallas as long as we can. Hopefully, he finishes his career there, but I love Jokic’s game, how he plays the game with passion, and the skill level as a big is unbelievable. They’re both incredible players”, Dirk Nowitzki continued.
