Argentina vs Slovenia Preview
Luka Doncic has already built a mighty basketball resume, but his goal has always been to be an Olympian with his home country of Slovenia.
“I don’t care about the MVP,” Doncic said after being crowned the Most Valuable Player during Slovenia’s Olympic qualifying in Lithuania. “We won here. We’re going to the Olympics, the first time in our country. It’s amazing. I think every kid dreams about being in the Olympics. I did too. So, here we are. We fought really, really hard, and I think we deserve to be here.”
It’s the first Olympic trip for Slovenia, who now has Doncic — an MVP contender in the NBA — at their disposal. Doncic delivered a massive triple-double — with 31 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists — in the clinching game for Slovenia against Lithuania.
Slovenia’s first test comes against Argentina and NBA veteran Luis Scola, who is looking spry at 41 years old.
“Luis is a wonderful human being,” U.S. coach Gregg Popovich said of Scola. “Obviously, he loves basketball. He’s been playing it for so long. It’s a group of guys, you know, for the last 10 or 15 years, 20 years, whatever it is, they are very close. They love the game, they’ve been a great example of international basketball and Luis is the epitome of that. And I can only continue to be amazed at his love of the game, his love of his teammates, and how much he wants to lead and be there. He and their program are special.”
Denver Nuggets guard Facundo Campazzo will be a big part of Argentina’s efforts.
“I want to see a national team that always competes at a high level and that leaves its life in every game, that has fun and always competes with a smile on its face because when you play happy is when you play better, at least in my case. When I’m happy and everything is fine around me is when I’m at my calmest and most confident,” he said.
