Luka Doncic, the Slovenian basketball star who plays for the Dallas Mavericks, has Serbian roots through his father, Saša Doncic. This connection has endeared him to Serbian fans, who see him as part of their own community. The chant was not only a playful jab but also a nod to Doncic’s heritage and his popularity in Serbia.
As the Euro 2024 tournament heats up, tensions between national teams can sometimes spill over into the stands.
