Recently, Lakers player Luca Doncic was a guest on the James podcast program "Brain of the Stadium" and talked about the reasons for playing for the country:
This is why I always play for the country. I am because of my sense of pride, and I like to play for my country.
You know, although our country is small, it really takes sports very important. For us, sports is a way of life.
In terms of the size of our country, I think we have a lot of talents in sports.
We have cyclists, such as Pogacha - he won many Tour de France, and I can't remember how many times it has, but certainly quite a few of them. He really won a lot.
We also have NBA players, football players, ski jumpers, and everything. These are really amazing for a country with a population of only two million.
So when the audience cheers on you, that feeling is very great. I think we, as athletes, are also giving back to our country.
This is why the audience and the people are so engaged in sports, and that atmosphere is really great.
