I love that Leigh continues to add more to his "International Man of Mystery" legend. The amount of respect and passion he has for basketball as a global sport really warms my heart. Keep up the amazing work!
Luka's father graciously omits the fact that the tallest people in Europe live in the Balkans... He was blessed with this genetics, so it does make it easier for sports. Plus the competitive mentality he did mention.
Great interview Leigh. Just from traveling through that area, it’s still surprising to feel the tensions between the different countries, but it’s clear that sport is what can unite them.
@@leighellis76 no thank YOU for traveling the world and continuing to grow the game I appreciate you beyond words keep up the great work safe travels 🫡 and shout-out Roxana for being fully supportive in the journey
This was incredible Leigh Leigh! Excellent interview! Next you should go find the Jokic brothers and tell them that Luka is the best current basketball player from Serbia or Slovenia, and then you can interview them afterwards through a Stephen Hawking style computer ➡️ talk device when you finally make it out of the hospital.
Basketball-wise Luka has it all. But he's got one balkan thing that not many understand: The sick drive to compete; that "nećeš ti meni" mentality. You can't explain that to someone outside from West Balkan.
Nice interview no one did it. Hope to see you in person LL been following you since 2014 the starters lets do also one on one and shooting in the phils
This journey you’re on is awesome man, keep it up! I have tweet notifications on so I know straight away when you come and hoop in London. If you get a London run going I will for sure be there to give you some buckets mate!
good talking point about balkans being not just great in sports, but being literally the greatest sporting nations (per capita of course) modern day spartans (who were also balkan)

Thank you Mr. Lazy McGrady!
Luka's dad look like Mr. Incredible and a mafia boss lmao
😂😂😂
He actually played a mafia boss in the Slovenian series called TRUPLO.(corpse) th-cam.com/video/Q6YL28RQqlY/w-d-xo.html
he's serbian, that's how they all look (more of a compliment, not an insult)
@@xboxgamerhrhe is Slovenian..he was born in Slovenia!!! His parents were from serbia…
@@ks-li4ic jedan djed, ne roditelji, mislim na Luku. Da Dončić senior je rođeni Slovenac 1974.

Yeah but all the great basketball players come from former Yugoslavia not the rest of Balkans.
@@zolu707 I am being politically correct. It's from the former Yugoslavia.
more specifically, ex-yugoslav so basically croats bosnians montenegrins and serbs (and serbs from slovenia)
the tallest humans in the world
Pričajte bre Srbski da vas vakoliki svet razumije!!!!
@@auslender7 Hrvatski brte, srpski ne postoji.
When I saw 1 on 1 I expected some basketball 😂 but this is good too ;)
That'll be in episode two!
Luka is a phenom. Amazing young man from Slovenia. A joy to watch play.
Great interview Leigh. Just from traveling through that area, it’s still surprising to feel the tensions between the different countries, but it’s clear that sport is what can unite them.
Yes, Louis, basketball and sport in general has the ability to build bridges and connect people.
that's because slovenes are "racist" towards people like saša
yet almost all slovene athletes have serb dads
12 years old 54 points crazy
Wild stuff.
Absolutely gold interview!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you, Lorenzo.

This is actually a good idea (not stirring the Jokic brothers up) but trying to get an interview with them.
@@leighellis76 That would be incredible. I bet they have some stories.

Luka and Jokic, the best serbia basketball
This is awesome Leigh. Loving it, looking forward to more!
Thanks, Angus.
we love you Saša

Thanks, Tribey. Line up the pints!
Nice to hear you talking again, we’ve missed that buddy
Thanks for the support, Oli.
how big is Sasa? he looks huge. especially his hands
Yeah, he's a big unit. Probably 6'6" and just a big dude all around.
Great interview
Thanks, Beau.

YOU’RE
Grandfather of Suns star Booker
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome Leigh Leigh
thank you, El
good talking point about balkans being not just great in sports, but being literally the greatest sporting nations (per capita of course)
modern day spartans (who were also balkan)
Yes, good solid sporting pedigree in that part of the world!
Just two dads being dudes.
What's better than this?
Star? Um... SUPER star
SUPER DUPER STAR
Leigh great interview! Come to Sofia, Bulgaria we will organize you a hot-basket welcome ! DM me to take care of it.
Thanks for the offer, Alexandar!
Serbian blood 🩸 🇷🇸
Поздрав!
Yup!
only Serbia and Serbians ... Dražen, Luka, Dragić, Jokić ........... all Serbians!
Yugoslavians 🤣
I thought Luka's father was Nick Wright.
Ma da pit ce champagnac 😂😂
should’ve asked him why luka is playing in the nba when he (luka) thinks all the best talent is in europe…. just for the money?
Petro, Luka ,Jokic all serbs
You wish!
@@Kintabl Petro and Luka have serbian fathers, if they lived in Serbia they would be proud serbs.
@@radebasic17 Luka's father was already born in Slovenia. It was Luka's grandfather who say goodbye to Serbia.
Sasa Doncic is a Serbian!!
ONE HALF
@@mariapower6961 hahahahah luka is one half you stupid . Sasa is Serbian and Lukas mother is slovenian.
@@mariapower6961
Luka je "fifti/fifti"
A ti si nacionalistička budala..
Half Slovenian and born in Slovenian I believe. Half servían yes.
