Luka Doncic isn’t just extremely talented at basketball. He is also an avid gamer and spends a lot of his free time playing video games. It turns out that Doncic isn’t an amateur when it comes to some of these games and has even earned praise from fans across the world.
Although NBA players are professional athletes, that does not mean they do not have lives outside the court. Several of them engage in other activities such as gaming and rapping. Especially, when they have time on their hands.
There are very few players in the league who can be considered better than Luka when it comes to basketball. However, after his latest stream, some fans are also convinced that there aren’t too many gamers better than him. Let us take a closer look and find out how people are reacting to Doncic’s video gameplay.
What is Luka Doncic’s rank in Overwatch?

In fact, he is ranked highly as a Grandmaster 2. To those who do not know, Overwatch 2 is a free-to-play first-person shooter game.

Although it is unclear if Doncic played Overwatch 1, there is no denying that he can even be considered an expert in Overwatch 2. He enjoys playing it since it is a competitive game where players get to fight each other with magical weapons. It is available on multiple gaming platforms like PC, Playstation, and Xbox.
A gamer was simply engaging in the voice chat feature and talking to his opponents. To his surprise, it sounded like Luka Doncic himself was on the console and playing against him. One can only imagine how shocked the boy must have been when he found out who he was playing against.

While a few joked that he should be in the gym working on his basketball game, most of the others acknowledged his level in the game since he is now at Grandmaster level. Hopefully, Doncic is able to continue playing his video games along with performing at a high level in the NBA.
