First names in their respective starting lineups for Saturday night’s Goran Dragic testimonial game in Ljubljana: Dragic goes with his mentor Steve Nash — who is apparently indeed playing at age 50 — and Luka Doncic names Nikola Jokic.

More on this storyline
Dragic was actually familiar with Doncic from a very young age since he was a teammate with Luka’s father Sasa. “When I was 15 years old I signed my first professional contract,” Dragic said. “And you know who my mentor on that team was? Sasa Doncic, Luka Doncic’s father. When we had a game or practice, Luka who was just a kid, would be there, mopping the floors and everything. In 2017 playing for the first time with him and now he’s an NBA superstar. It’s the circle of life.” -via EuroHoops.net / August 20, 2024
