Jarred Vanderbilt arrived in Slovenia with a camera and left sounding ready to return. The Los Angeles Lakers forward, a teammate of Luka Dončić, shared videos from the training camp organized and co-funded by the Slovenian star.
The Lakers explored Ljubljana, visited Ljubljana Castle and took a boat ride along the Ljubljanica. They then went to Bled, where they rowed and played golf. The camp combined time together away from the court with basketball work, including a joint practice at Ljubljana’s Stožice arena.
Vanderbilt appeared taken with the country. “The trip was great,” he said. “I won’t lie, before coming I knew very little, but this is definitely a place I will return to. I’m thinking about getting a Slovenian passport. We’ll see. Maybe I’m partly Slovenian.”
