Luka Doncic's shoes were inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo

Luka Doncic spoke about his tenure with the Mavs
With stars always wanting to leave to join teams in better situations, a few loyal players choose to stay. Doncic has been one of the few remaining loyal stars in the NBA and the Mavs are doing all they can to keep him from walking away. Although he hasn't spent much time in the league, there's still a level of uncertainty if he'll stay in Dallas long-term.
After several years of struggling, the team has finally built a decent supporting cast for Doncic. Despite that, there's a possibility that the Mavs star could leave the team. In an interview with Rachel Nichols, the 24-year-old addressed his future with Dallas.
"I'm not sure," Doncic said (via Sports Illustrated). "I feel great here. They drafted me. I felt at home since Day 1, so I'm really happy where I'm at, and I think we made some great moves this offseason. But, yeah, I'm happy here."
There's still time for the Mavs to make the right moves to keep Doncic, but ultimately, it's the player's decision if he wants to move on.
