Luka Dončić court
NBA2K has a foundation that works in collaboration with NBA players, renovating basketball courts around the world. When they approached Luka Dončić, the next big thing in the NBA and also a fellow Slovenian, he suggested they renovate the courts in Ljubljana where he played as a kid. I was invited to design and paint the court, and we worked on the graphic together with Luka’s team. It shows his jersey number 77 in various shades of blue, and the color of his team, the Dallas Mavericks.

A limited edition of 30 8-color screen-prints was made using the court graphics
