Bond with the blancos
Since arriving in the NBA, Luka Doncic has racked up multiple All-Star selections and averages that place him among the league’s elite. His media presence has made him one of the global faces of basketball. Yet his connection to Spain remains strong. He speaks the language fluently, keeps close ties with people at the club. And has been spotted in Madrid during his offseasons. His bond with the city and the institution goes far beyond basketball.
Luka Doncic says his dream is to retire with Real Madrid:
“They raised me.”

Although Luka Doncic is under contract with the Lakers and still has plenty left to write in his NBA story. He doesn’t hide the fact that Real Madrid holds a special place in his heart. At a time when many players choose to end their careers in lesser leagues or far-flung destinations, the idea of returning to a top-tier club like Madrid carries weight.
If that return does happen, it won’t just be a sporting move. It’ll be a statement of values. Luka Doncic doesn’t just want to win—he wants to go back to where he learned how.
