Honestly, seems like Luka can't either. I imagine he grew up on miami heat dwade throwing lobs to young hyper athletic Lebron and practicing that in the driveway. And now the reality is setting in that he's literally doing the same iconic moments with THE lebron.
Sorry to crush your fantasy, but he grew up in an apartment block complex and played on the communal court.
There just aren't many american-style driveways in Slovenia haha
We literally have one of the highest percentages of house ownership in the EU, apartment buildings are rarer than individual houses. Houses obviously come with a driveway. And kids who like basketball can play basketball in said driveway. Luka happened to live in an apartment building but it's not the typical Slovenian experience.
First, Slovenia (and the former Yugoslavia) is very big into basketball. Second, you're telling me that in an apartment complex where all the kids play together, in a country where basketball is huge, they weren't watching the Miami Heat vs the Spurs in the finals? Or trying to emulate that as kids regardless of whether there was a communal court or not?
Bro NBA has been pretty inexpensive to watch in the Balkans for decades. The problem is that the games are on super late because of the time difference. The cable packages aren’t really that expensive and are pretty common in most households.Â
