Dallas Wings forward Maddy Siegrist echoed Luka Doncic's thoughts on why today's youth seem to distance themselves from sports and spend more time in the digital world. According to Doncic, this shift has something to do with how adults pressure kids.

Doncic believes the way athletes are always expected to be in top form and consistently deliver their best performance has led to a decline in enthusiasm for sports among young people.

"Kids are walking away from basketball and other sports because we've replaced joy with pressure," Doncic said. "When we treat young players like pros, we lose the friendship, growth and fun that make sports special. This has to change."
