Speaking about the team up in a Q&A with Air Jordan, he touched on the brand's "amazing history" and how he'd admired Michael Jordan from a young age.

"The more I learned about their plans and how much they believe in me, it became an easy decision. I'm just excited to be part of the team and hopefully playing a part in the future of such an iconic brand," Dončić said. "Growing up in Slovenia, and all over Europe, everyone knows about Air Jordans because of the impact Michael Jordan has had all over the world."

But despite his impressive wealth, Dončić has also vowed to remain grounded and a good role model. "I understand the responsibility of being in the public eye and playing in the NBA. I've always tried to behave in a way that I think is right and that my family would be proud of. If that means I can influence young people in a positive way, that's great, and I'll continue to do that," he said.
