I think you are spot on with everything. This is also what sets Doncic apart from Jokic. It's Luka's mentality to win, and his heart for the game. Skill-wise they may be on similar level. This mentality has gotten Luka into trouble this offseason, with no rest and has impacted his season so far, although its been greatly exaggarated by many. But this is exactly the mentality needed to win championships. Luka will do that little extra needed to win and doesn't back down from challenges. The schedule has been way to hard for Luka and combined with his ankle injure made him limp and preventing training. He could have chosen to get more rest, but he is a winner and cant resist that challenge. This is exactly the reason why he will win in future.
