Here is a preview of what is inside this Luka Doncic biography book: Childhood and Early Life Career in Europe Getting Drafted, The Phenomenal Rookie Season Luka Doncic's Personal Life Doncic's Impact on Basketball Legacy and Future An excerpt from this Luka Doncic biography: The evolving trend, not only in the NBA but in the entire world of basketball as well, is that skill has become far more crucial than it has ever been. Because the NBA now relies more on a pace and space game that requires all five guys out on the floor to have a complete set of skills on both ends of the floor, players with refined tools now trump those with raw athletic and physical talents. Size and athleticism are still critical factors for crafting an NBA star or successful basketball talent. Especially in today's fast-paced game, you need someone who can provide you with speed and length on both ends of the court. However, those with refined skills are now just as important or even more vital to the success of an NBA team because their tools fit the way the game is being played today. As the league trends towards a more position-less style, you can virtually interchange positions but still expect the same results if you have players with a complete package of skills. In that sense, you want all five players on the floor to handle the ball, make plays, and shoot. Otherwise, there will be weak points in your pace and space offense. And when you talk about players with complete skills, you cannot just forget about international players and stars coming out of Europe. Over the last two decades, some of the most refined offensive players have come out of Europe or other similar international countries. Manu Ginobili, who hails from Argentina, has enjoyed a stellar NBA career with his crafty scoring moves and mastery of the Eurostep. His former teammate Tony Parker, a quick guard who was not exactly big or athletic, maneuvered himself to several All-Star appearances and a lot of NBA titles with his ability to finish near the basket with precision moves. And who could ever forget Dirk Nowitzki, who is arguably the best European player in NBA history? The legendary German has made a career out of redefining the big man position by hitting long jumpers like a guard at seven feet tall and introducing his patented one-legged fading shot.
