Reiterating the goal for the 2022-23 NBA season, Luka Doncic made it extremely clear on the Dallas Mavericks aiming to become NBA champions. “Our goal every year is to win a championship,” he mentioned in a post-training interview shared by NBA TV, “That was our goal last season and that’s our goal this season. But I think we got a little more respect around the league. I think we have a great team. We just got to believe.”

Some Luka Doncic observations from practice so far:
— Picked Maxi Kleber without hesitation hesitation when guards got to pick bigs to face 1-on-1
— Argues with refs about moving screens even during 5-on-4 scrimmages in preseason practice
— Kept calling JaVale McGee “Joel” – 1:24 PM

If y’all aren’t watching, Mavs’ training camp practice today is airing live on the NBA app.
So far, Luka Doncic is talking trash, Nico Harrison is doing an interview and Dirk Nowitzki has pulled up a chair to watch from the sideline. app.link.nba.com/mavsrtc – 12:17 PM

Jason Kidd on Luka Doncic’s ramp up today: “He did everything today. He looked great, just understanding where he’s been and playing. It’s hard to get him out of the scrimmage. He loves to compete, but I think he played in the whole scrimmage, and he did a great job.” – 3:01 PM

Jason Kidd’s most important update from Mavs’ practice today: Dwight Powell has joined Luka Doncic and Tim Hardaway Jr. on the “leadership council.”
A second straight year in which the trade deadline might be a tumultuous time for big men in that trio ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ – 2:33 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo made headlines when he said that European basketball is “way harder” than the NBA.
Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic have also weighed in on this and echoed a similar sentiment. They explained the differences between Europe and the NBA: basketballnews.com/stories/jokic-… – 2:23 PM

More on this storyline
Of course, the Slovenian superstar setting his sights on the title is not a secret. He seemed confident in being able to top the league, even without another big name on the squad. “We have great players on our team. There are plenty of very underrated guys that I think should be talked about more. So I don’t think so. I think we have a great team,” he recently told ESPN. -via EuroHoops.net / October 1, 2022
Appearing on The Ringer’s Bill Simmons’ Podcast, ESPN analyst and known Lebron-whisperer Brian Windhorst mentioned the Dallas Mavericks as a sneaky candidate for the final phase of Lebron James’ career, due to his affinity for Luka Doncic. This isn’t the first time he’s mentioned such a concept; five months ago on ESPN’s NBA Today, Windhorst hinted at it, saying that Lebron would love playing with Luka. -via mavsmoneyball.com / September 29, 2022
Lebron’s love of Luka hasn’t only been told to us secondhand. He answered the question of who his favorite young player is on a Twitter Q&A; by saying Luka is his “fav player”, implying his favorite in general. He picks him in each all-star draft (despite Luka resembling a tee-ball outfielder playing with ants in the game itself). -via mavsmoneyball.com / September 29, 2022
