LeBron watched Luka intently in the 2025 EuroBasket, where he put up massive numbers of 34.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.7 steals for Slovenia. While his enhanced quickness and agility were evident, James highlighted the area of basketball where Doncic will experience the most benefit.

James acknowledged that retirement is around the corner, but is focused on chasing a title during the 2025-26 season. With a healthy and motivated Luka Doncic by his side, James has a good shot of making another deep postseason run though the roster still feels like it needs one or two more pieces.
