With the 2018 NBA Draft set to take place on Thursday, June 21, get to know Mirjam Poterbin. Mirjam is the mother of top NBA Draft prospect Luka Doncic, the 19-year-old sensation from Real Madrid who is set to be one of the top picks when the draft begins at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Doncic is considered to be one of the best European prospects of all-time, but his mom is going to be generating some attention, too.

Throughout his entire career, Doncic’s mother has been one of his biggest supporters.

“I think that Luka was born with it,” she said in an interview with EuroHoops.net. “Ever since he started walking, when he was one year old, he was playing with a ball in his hands. He was doing all types of sports. He liked soccer a lot but was too tall to play. As I said, I think that Luka was born to play basketball.”

According to Slam, Mirjam was a hurdler, dancer, and model. Doncic’s father, Sasa, was a longtime professional basketball player in Europe.
