Luka Doncic cannot catch a break from being the main topic of interest in sports. Things have been going exceptionally smoothly for the Slovenia superstar as his career is on a steep incline. From having an outstanding career in the NBA to being a global basketball icon by the age of 24 is something to be praised about.
Doncic has had an incredible run in the NBA so far. Last season, he averaged a career-high 32.4 points backed with 8.6 rebounds and 8 assists per game. Luka is already high up in the MVP rankings which is a great sign for the Dallas Mavericks to build around him. Unfortunately, the Mavericks missed out on the playoffs this past season, which was quite upsetting.
Regardless, it doesn’t seem like Luka Doncic is going to slow down any time soon, probably never. Right now, he is playing relentlessly to help lead Slovenia to a gold medal in the 2023 FIBA World Cup. Slovenia is currently on a role coming off a two-game win streak against Georgia and Venezuela. Doncic has been dominating the floor offensively averaging 35.5 points in two games. His scoring has been key to Slovenia’s success lately.
Luka Doncic shared a hilarious moment with referee Blanca Burns
Back in 2021, Luka Doncic made headlines after he was caught falling for a female NBA referee. During a game between the Mavericks and the LA Clippers, he took his opportunity to initiate a conversation with Ashley Moyer-Gleich. During a particular play, Doncic jokingly approached Ashley and said, “There’s a foul.” She responded in confusion, “What foul?” He replied, “Fouling in love with you.” She was left awestruck by his impeccable confidence.
Luka has once again gone viral for his interaction with another female referee during the 2023 FIBA World Cup. While Slovenia took on Georgia, Doncic fell hard to the floor while the referee, Blanca Burns made a massive gesture to call the foul. Doncic tried to imitate Burns which immediately drew flashbacks to his interaction with Moyer-Gleich.

One fan said, “That’s gotta be his bird from the nba.” Another fan said, “Blanca is impervious to my man’s charms.” Burns did not notice what Luka Doncic did. However, Burns has officiated in the NBA before. She became the first-ever Mexican-born female referee in the league. Her dream is to officiate the Olympics one day while representing his country as well. Maybe Doncic could gain her attention some day, but just not during the World Cup.
