Reviews
"In a league built on star power, Luka Doncic has established himself as a force -- growing the game internationally but letting his game do the talking -- until now. MacMahon gives fans an intimate look at Doncic and what makes a Wonder Boy tick." -- Malika Andrews, host of ESPN's NBA Today and NBA Countdown, "From Doncic's childhood through the Mavericks run to the 2024 NBA Finals, MacMahon unearths fascinating new details about Doncic's unlikely path to Dallas and the challenges of building around a generational superstar. This is a true insider account--a must-have for any basketball fan." -- Zach Lowe, NBA analyst and host of the "Lowe Post" podcast, "The Wonder Boy is as dynamic and entertaining as Doncic on a fastbreak. Mesmerizing and meticulously reported, MacMahon illuminates the darker sides of the NBA in navigating the future of one of its brightest prodigies: the pressure and ever-ticking clock to succeed at all costs." -- Mirin Fader, New York Times bestselling author of Giannis and Dream, "From on-the-ground reporting in Luka Doncic s native Slovenia, through one of the most prolific teenage careers the game has ever seen to the behind-the-scenes details of his fascinating climb to the NBA Finals with the Dallas Mavericks, Tim MacMahon has assembled the definitive volume of an already enriching basketball life. You don't know Luka until you've read this story." -- Brian Windhorst, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Hoop Collective, "Tim is so plugged into Doncic's psyche and the Mavs organization throughout the book, exposing both the beauty and the chaotic ugliness that surrounds NBA superstars and their teams. It's ripe with the kind of storytelling you dream of reading about a player who could dominate the league for the next decade, if not more."-- Chris Herring, Senior Writer for ESPN, and New York Times bestselling author of Blood in the Garden The Flagrant History of the 1990s New York Knicks
