The former Real Madrid star, in what was his country’s first ever appearance in the sport at the Olympics, scored 48 points, just seven points off equalling the scoring record in a single match by Oscar Schmidt.

“It is a very special day for Slovenia,” Doncic instead stated. “I’d like to be a star of the [Olympic] Games, I feel good being one of the stars, if that’s what I am,” he joked.
