Luka Doncic and other Jordan Brand athletes, such as Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson and Paulo Banchero, are participating in the brand’s inaugural China Family Tour. The players will tour locations in Beijing and Shanghai while connecting with China’s youth.

Doncic and his peers started their Chinese tour in Shanghai, where they visited the Nike Shanghai campus, took boat rides along The Bund — a waterfront area and a protected historical district in central Shanghai — and met with fans.

After arriving in Beijing, Doncic, Tatum, Banchero, and Williamson wlaked along the Great Wall of China on Saturday. Afterward, Doncic stoped by a Jordan Brand store in Beijing to meet and greet fans. One fan grew emotional after meeting the Dallas Mavericks’ star. Fighting back tears, she said, “all her dreams came true,” after shaking Doncic’s hand.

“They represent the greatness that is the hallmark of Jordan Brand. This tour, while celebrating the community we’ve built in China, also showcases the resonance of basketball culture across the entire globe. It’s a universal language and shows that the future of the Brand is limitless.”

Doncic previously visited China as a rookie with the Dallas Mavericks as part of the NBA China Games 2018. In October that year, the Mavericks played the Philadelphia 76ers in two preseason games in Shanghai and Shenzen. It marked the first time either team played in China.
