Luka Doncic has made it clear that he is going to be one of the great dominators of the NBA for years to come. It only remains to know where its ceiling is going to be located that is impossible to glimpse today. But he has also shown that because of his personality he is a player capable of enormous influence in society. And that is what the prestigious Time magazine by including him in the select club of the 100 most influential people in the world in the short term future.
Time has released a list of 100 personalities that, according to them, they will be the true ‘influencers’ in the very near future, dividing the choice into artists, phenomena, leaders, advocates and innovators. Doncic is included among the phenomena (although he could be in any group), due to the explosion of his image in the NBA that as a gigantic shock wave it has reached every corner of the planet.
Doncic is not the only athlete among the 100 chosen, but he is the only player in the NBA, which may give an idea, not just of what the Slovenian has achieved, but of what he still has to achieve. For many will be the image of the League soon. The Mavs player shares honor among the 100 most influential with other promises / realities of world sport such as the athlete Sydney McLaughlin, Manchester United football player Marcus Rashford, the WNBA player Renee Montgomery o el quarterback Trevor Lawrence which they say will be the number 1 of the next NFL Draft.
Of course, the list is full of politicians, community leaders, personalities from economics, science, medicine, or from the business world. People who, according to Time, will create a trend in a short time, if they are not already doing it, and will be the ones who in some way set the rhythm of our society. And among them, Doncic stands out.
To celebrate the list of the 100 most influential in the world in the future, Time also published a text for each protagonist written by a celebrity. So of McLaughlin, for example, he wrote Allyson Felix, of Rashford Lewis Hamilton, and in the case of other categories, Charli D’Amelio Jennifer Lopez, of Ana de Armas, the only Spanish personality on the list, Jamie Lee Curtis o de Luke Combs Garth Brooks. About Doncic his teammate on the Mavs wrote, Boban Marjanovic. Three paragraphs that summarize it all:
“You can’t relax on the court with Luka Doncic. Even if you are not unmarked, he can work magic at any moment, throwing a perfect pass that somehow lands in your hands. In each game, debut a new movement. It’s crazy.
He is only 21 years old, but he has already been part of the NBA First Team and is ready to win many more awards. I see his competitive spirit off the pitch: even playing Parcheesi, wants to win. But he always wins while smiling.
I see the influence it has on people. Before the pandemic, kids packed stadiums and hotels with teams in hopes of seeing it. And he always had time to sign autographs, to share that magic of Luka with the world”.
