Luka Doncic Took His Own Mother to Court — Here's Why

Summary: NBA star Luka Doncic had a messy legal fight with his own mother, but it wasn't about personal damages—it was about his name. When Luka was a 19-year-old rookie, he let his mom, Mirjam, control the "LUKA DONCIC 7" trademark. Years later, Luka wanted full control of his brand, charity work, and his new "LD77" logo for his shoes. Because the old trademark was in the way, he took legal action to cancel it.

His mom defended herself, saying she just wanted to protect Luka from people trying to take advantage of him. In December 2022, Luka finally dropped the lawsuit. Even though he is also dealing with a tough family-court custody battle with his ex-fiancée, Luka has plenty of money to handle his legal headaches. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars through huge contracts with the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers, plus massive deals with Nike's Jordan Brand and Panini.
