Before the meeting with Real, Doncic said that Real is the most responsible for his violent rise in the world of basketball.

"Without Madrid, I wouldn't be where I am now. I learned everything there, I trained there. We are all happy to be here. We are still in the pre-season, this is a good challenge, playing against Real will not be easy. I know I will be excited for the welcome , I've been waiting for this day for months," Doncic admitted.

This great Dallas player answered a series of questions and some of the answers were really interesting. When asked what he would rather take with him to America, one of his former teammates or a souvenir, he gave a humorous answer.

He says that for success in the NBA it is very important to have mental stability. "I would bring one of my former colleagues. Rudi. a trainer and a physio. What is certain is that I will bring ham with me," he said with a smile.

"The mental aspect is very important. Especially when you have a bad game and you need to know how to get out of it. I know I can play and keep doing the same things every day," added the Slovenian.

And in the end, they fulfilled his wish. It will be interesting to see the reaction of the Madrid audience to the return of their former favorite. "Since I left, I told Mark Cuban let's come here. Let's hope one day we play at the Bernabeu and come back to play an NBA game here."
