"The most recent stop on that media tour was with the Wall Street Journal's Jason Gay. In a wide-ranging piece hitting on Doncic's upbringing, his offseason workout plan and his intentions to compete in Los Angeles, Gay asked Doncic about whether he would like to return to Real Madrid, the Spanish club where Doncic played from age 13 until he was drafted into the NBA."
"Many NBA stars get asked this sort of question, although for players who followed the traditional college route into the league the question is generally directed toward returning to their first NBA team rather than a pre-NBA club. Still, it's a common question -- and most NBA players deflect, not wanting to create a media firestorm. Doncic did not. He was open with his answer. Would he like to return to Real Madrid later in his career and win them another championship? "For sure.""
Luka Doncic, now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, recently said he would like to return to Real Madrid later in his career. He has slimmed down this summer, moved on from a high-profile divorce with the Dallas Mavericks, and embraced his role in Los Angeles. The comment came during a media interview that covered his upbringing, offseason workouts and intentions to compete for the Lakers. The remark about Real Madrid could prompt other NBA stars to be more open about playing for non-NBA clubs later in their careers. DeMar DeRozan played the first nine seasons with the Toronto Raptors, earned four All-Star selections and multiple All-NBA nods, and remains the franchise leader in games, minutes, free throws and points.
