Slovenian star Luka Doncic has announced that he will be there. The leader of the Dallas Mavericks communicated on his social networks, wearing a "Quai 54" t-shirt, his intention to join the biggest streetball tournament on the planet.

But he won't come alone. The Slovenian said he's "bringing the Slovenian team" with him. This Saturday July 9 and Sunday July 10, in front of the Eiffel Tower, dunkers, rappers, pro players and amateurs will meet in front of a sellout crowd.

This is the 17th year of this tournament 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.

Once again with the Eiffel Tower as its backdrop, the 2022 edition will feature a lot of the familiar elements of past events; there’ll be the usual men’s tournament with 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—will also return with 8 teams of 80 pro and amateur ballers.

The fan favourite Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday is also making a return. Also on the program is a 3-point shooting competition and a half-court shooting competition.
