Luka Doncic has accepted the invitation to attend the iconic Quai54, branded as the world's biggest streetball tournament. During the event, a press conference was held featuring Jordan Brand’s youngest superstars, Luka and Pelicans' forward Zion Williamson.

The two NBA players were asked questions by YouTuber, Harry Pinero. One question that was thrown at the Mavericks All-Star by Pinero was what he would take from the Duke alum’s offensive arsenal.

"I have the same bounce so I wouldn’t take the bounce. But nah, the speed and the bounce are unbelievable," Doncic hilariously replied.

Despite him not being particularly quick on his feet, Luka Doncic has posted an average of 32.5 points a game in three postseason runs with the Dallas Mavericks. The 23-year-old Slovenian superstar doesn't flash a jaw-dropping vertical similar to Williamson's, who can blow past any single defender he chooses.

Having turned 22 on July 6, the No.1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft averaged more than 27 points per game on 60% shooting in his first full season with the Pelicans, and was recently signed onto a 5-year max rookie extension that could be worth up to $231 million.

This is the 17th year the Quai54 event is being held in Paris, with the games being played right at the base of the Eiffel Tour. Sixteen men's teams of pro and amateur players (10 nations competing) will play for a title; along with eight women's teams in a separate bracket.

The men’s tournament features 16 teams from 10 countries from around the world (making a total of 160 pro and amateur players), and the women’s tournament—which debuted last year— another 8 teams of 80 pro and amateur ballers.
