Watch: Luka Doncic links up with Mavericks legend & 2x NBA MVP for Goran Dragic's farewell game

Luka Doncic reunited with perhaps the most legendary teammate he's had in his NBA career, Dirk Nowitzki. The 2011 NBA champion shared touches with Doncic during a lone season, the 2018-19 campaign that saw the Dallas Mavericks struggle and miss the postseason.

A short video showed Nowitzki seemingly joking with Doncic before telling Steve Nash, another former Maverick, that Doncic arrived.

It's been five years since Nowitzki hung the boots, but he's set to share the court with Doncic again this weekend. Goran Dragic, the biggest Slovenian star in the NBA before Doncic, is playing his farewell game this weekend and invited multiple stars for his last dance.

Dragic played with Luka Doncic from a young age. They won the 2017 EuroBasket tournament with Slovenia, reaching new heights in Slovenian basketball history while Goran became a mentor for the then-Real Madrid emerging star. Five years later, they were considered favorites to get the gold medal in the 2023 EuroBasket, until Poland pulled off a major upset on them.

Dragic, 37, played 15 seasons in the NBA, shared between seven teams: the Phoenix Suns, Houston Rockets, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat.

Besides Doncic, Nowitzki, Nash, three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and former Miami Heat star Chris Bosh will take the court in Ljubljana this Friday.

Goran Dragic reflects on his time playing with Luka Doncic

Goran Dragic shared touches with multiple stars during his career, including Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. His connection with Luka Doncic always looked deeper than others, as they won silverware together seven years ago.

Speaking on Thanasis Antetokounmpo’s Thanalysis Show, Dragic recalled his experience leading his national team to the top of European basketball alongside Doncic.

“It’s easy,” Dragic said on Tuesday. “In 2017, it was the first time we played together. At that time, Luka was a little different. He was still young and I took him under my wings.

"We were roommates. Even there, you could see he has an unbelievable talent, being a starter for the national team at 17, 18 years old. Putting up big numbers, it was something unbelievable."

Goran Dragic wasn't on the same level as Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki, or Tony Parker when it comes to all-time great Europeans. But he made an impact wherever he went and was part of several teams with championship hopes, especially in Miami.
