Although Kobe Bryant retired before Luka Doncic joined the NBA, the two legends met during a Mavericks vs. Lakers game on December 29, 2019. Doncic, then a young superstar, was surprised when Bryant greeted him in Slovenian. Their interaction was warm and personal, culminating in handshakes, laughter, and a photo. Tragically, just weeks later, Bryant and his daughter Gianna passed away in a helicopter crash. Now, this meeting is immortalized in a mural, showing the significant connection between these two basketball icons.
Doncic expressed surprise at Bryant's ability to speak Slovenian, showing the bond between the two in that memorable encounter during a Mavericks-Lakers game.
The mural capturing the special meeting between Doncic and Bryant reflects how their brief interaction left a lasting impact on fans.
