Luka Doncic shared an inspiring encounter with Tim Marovt, a young Slovenian whose dream of becoming a world-class skier was shattered by a surfing accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Despite the severity of his injury, Marovt remained focused and determined, using the experience to fuel his comeback. Now training for a marathon, Marovt's journey serves as a powerful testament to resilience and the human spirit, leaving a profound impression on Doncic, who recognizes their shared backgrounds as rising athletic stars in Slovenia.
"After 30 minutes of surfing, I felt a little tired and went to hotel room. Everything was OK, but I felt something unusual in my back... and after 15 minutes I went to use the restroom but I fell on the bed. I was immediately paralyzed from my waist down."
"I was very young but I didn't doubt myself for a single moment. Since that young age, I was so focused. When I see something, I'll do anything to achieve it."
"It was so inspiring... It was kind of amazing to hear that story, how he came back, and now he is back training for a marathon."
