Another unforgettable moment at Luka’s basketball camps in Iowa: Boston Celtics Head Coach Joe Mazzulla didn’t just come to support Luka; he showed up for our kids, our families, and our community. He traveled to Iowa, stepped onto the court, coached, encouraged, listened, and made every young athlete feel seen, heard, and valued. A heartfelt thank you to Boston Celtics and Coach Mazzulla for doing something so unexpected and so meaningful. Great leaders do what others wouldn’t think to do. They show up when they don’t have to. They go where they aren’t expected. And they make people feel that they matter. This is why the Harvard leadership author, Linda A. Hill calls Coach Mazzulla one of the greatest leaders living today. I couldn't agree more. Thank you, Coach, for giving Iowa and these young student-athletes a day they will never forget. 🏀❤️ 💛🖤💚☘️🦚

When Luka was in the 7th grade, coaches/parents told me my son should probably try out for the drama or chess club instead of basketball. He was slow, non-athletic, in WADC league and not what AAU was looking for. We didn’t fight the noise, we built a process. Skepticism is oxygen if you know how to breathe it in. Over 20,000 hours of fundamentals, visualization, feedback, and relentless work through his Sr year in college; no one did more. This article features an up and coming sports journalist highlighting the journey, mindset, setbacks, along with the parenting philosophy, and the long road most people don’t know is possible.

Every great dream begins long before the world believes. Luka was once the little boy who tripped over the foul line, wasn't the fastest, couldn't jump the highest, and was told the NBA wasn't a realistic dream. He chose not to believe the limits others placed on him. Instead, he fueled his dream with relentless work, unwavering discipline, and an unshakable belief in who he could become. He stayed loyal to his future, not his present or his past. Today, youth have the opportunity to stand beside someone who didn't just dream...he lived the process. There may be no greater gift you can give your daughter or son this summer than a day with someone who proves that greatness isn't reserved for the most gifted; it's earned by those who refuse to quit. Whether it's basketball, the chess club, physics, drama, volleyball, football, track, or any other pursuit, all can benefit from learning from Luka. You are invited. Join Luka on August 17 in Fayette and August 19 in Indianola for an experience that goes far beyond basketball. This is where ordinary ends.. The next great story could begin with one decision. 💛🖤💚☘️🦚 To register: 📷📷📷📷📷 Upper Iowa Women's Basketball SportsGuysIowa Peacock Athletics City of Indianola, Iowa Matt Krambeer NFV Boys Basketball Oelwein Huskies Blake Moen Decorah BBB Decorah Girls Basketball Indianola Activities Indianola Boys Bball Indianola Basketball Kyle Jones Iowa Suns Basketball Waukee Basketball Valley Girls Basketball 🐯🏀 Justin Einerson Waukee JAM Basketball Club

In a game that celebrates highlight reels and stats, Luka Garza still believes the most important things can’t be measured on a scoreboard: Character. Relentless hard work. The mental toughness that separates those who merely play the game from those who truly master it. That’s why Luka & I didn’t just fill a coaching staff. We carefully chose coaches who live these values, men who understand that developing the player starts with developing the person. For the past four years, Jarrett Kruse and Chris Morrow have been living proof of that vision. Their passion, their standards, and their genuine care have left a lasting mark on every camper who has walked through our doors. We don’t take that lightly. We are deeply grateful for the way they pour into the next generation. This is more than a basketball camp. This is a place where young athletes learn what really matters from coaches who get it, and from the big fella himself, Luka Garza. You are invited to be part of something bigger. 💛💛🖤💚☘️🦚 To register: Upper Iowa MBB Upper Iowa Women's Basketball Jarrett Kruse SportsGuysIowa Peacock Athletics Matt Krambeer NFV Boys Basketball Oelwein Huskies Blake Moen Decorah BBB Iowa Suns Basketball Waukee Basketball Valley Girls Basketball 🐯🏀 Justin Einerson Waukee JAM Basketball Club NFVtigerhawks NFV Boys Basketball Oelwein Huskies Oelwein Track Sumner-Fredericksburg Cougars Sumner-Fredericksburg Community School District Sumner High School UpperIowa

Dear Rose the Painter, You captured our son…the boy whose eyes still light up when he steps on the court. You caught the firelight in his heart, the same fire that drove him to fight for every minute, every rebound, and every moment he wore the green/white. You saw the love. The heart. The kid who still plays like the game is everything, because to him, it is. Thank you. 🌹❤️ As a father, this painting means more than I can say right now. In a season that challenges players hearts, you saw Luka’s spirit clearly and put it on canvas with authentic care. One can see that your work comes from a true Celtics fan, a self-taught artist who pours her heart into these works for the players and the community. That makes it even more special. The Celtics have always had an eye for talent, and it goes far beyond the court. You are living proof. Thank you for finishing his portrait this week and sharing it with us. I’ll make sure Luka sees it and knows how much it means. We appreciate you, Rose. With deep gratitude ❤️.

Seeing the msgs about Luka’s shooting means more than you know. Thank you.❤️ I’ve witnessed 20+k hours of shooting practice the last 3 yrs under intense game conditions. Simply put, he is the best BIG shooter in the NBA. His teammates, coaches, staff, past & present, know how special his work ethic is. Luka trusts the process and personifies:'the harder I work, the luckier I am.'💚❤️🦚 Noa Dalzell 🏀 Noah Basketball

I can’t put into words what it means to see my son wear the green and white of the Boston Celtics. Since a boy, Luka's been a Fan. For us, it’s not just about 🏀, it’s about legacy & being part of something bigger than yourself. Every summer, Luka and I focus on areas where he needs growth. Many times this involves 3-4 workouts/day, the majority w/o the 🏀; Luka’s body transformation, improvements on defense, strength, hand speed, along w/mental work, reflect this. Most people overlook Luka's growth & judge quickly based on his NPOY days. To know Luka is to understand his resilience and continual transformation; you can't count him out ever. We’re blessed. We’re grateful. And above all, we’re proud to be part of the Celtics family.💚🦚 Noa Dalzell 🏀 Adam Taylor Jay King Jared Weiss John Karalis 🇬🇷 Keith Smith Brian Robb Bobby Manning Marc D'Amico BOS in DC ☘️ Chris WNBA Lead Rich Evans BiH Basketball CelticsMuse Taylor Snow NikNBA🏀 Boston Celtics

Some victories never appear on a scoreboard. Watching my son, Luka, and his cousin Amar stand shoulder to shoulder in the Bosnia and Herzegovina jersey is one of them. Cousins by blood. Brothers by life. Together, they're fulfilling a promise made to their grandfather, Refik Muftić, to one day represent the country he loved with all his heart. One generation was forced to flee war. The next generation returned, not with weapons, but with jerseys. Not to divide, but to unite. The world may remember Bosnia for its scars. I'll always remember it for its heart. History may leave wounds... Love always writes the final chapter.💙💛🇧🇦 Noa Dalzell 🏀 Boston Celtics Iowa Men's Basketball Iowa Hawkeyes Barstool Iowa Maret Boys Basketball Big Ten Men's Basketball Big Cat Bobby Manning Chad Ricardo Chad Leistikow🆑 Bobby Krivitsky I LOVE BOSTON SPORTS Boston Celticsblog

To every parent who trusted us, to every camper who showed up with wide eyes and a hunger to learn: Thank you. These 🏀camps are more than basketball. They’re about heart, effort, mindset and learning how to believe in yourself even when it’s hard. Luka, the coaches, and I witnessed something truly special in each of you. Whether you were in 2nd grade learning your first Skyhook or a high schooler chasing your next level, we saw your dedication, your joy, and your willingness to grow. That’s what greatness is built on. From all of us, Valerie too, thank you for being part of the Luka Garza Academy family. We’re grateful, humbled, and looking forward to seeing you next summer. Until then, Geniuses, keep being loyal to your future! 💛🖤🦚 Heather Burnside 🐦 106.3 KXnO on the Iowa Sports Radio Network 1630 KCJJ Scott Reister Matt Randazzo WHO 13 News Mr. SOUNDOFF Shannon Ehrhardt KUOO Radio exploreokoboji.com Okoboji Schools

Dear Bosnian & USA Friends, From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for embracing Luka and supporting our family throughout this journey. Your messages, encouragement, and kindness have meant far more than words can express. Basketball has an incredible way of bringing people together across oceans, cultures, and generations. We are deeply grateful to be part of such a special community. Here are Luka's highlights from yesterday's game against Serbia. We hope you enjoy them. Thank you & see you in August. 🇧🇦💙💛💛🖤 Noa Dalzell 🏀 Boston Celtics Iowa Men's Basketball Iowa Hawkeyes Barstool Iowa Maret Boys Basketball Big Ten Men's Basketball Big Cat Bobby Manning Tomek Kordylewski Chad Ricardo Chad Leistikow🆑 Bobby Krivitsky I LOVE BOSTON SPORTS Boston Celticsblog Radio Sarajevo JustJames Matt Randazzo The Sarajevo Times Bosnian Dragons Bosnian History TV N1 Sarajevo Aldin Lagumdzija® Ćamil Duraković Keith Smith Basketball Sphere Kemp Dan Greenberg Ian Inangelo Gigantes del Basket NBA_Master Ferhat Yeşiltaş

Dear #Parents, #Girls & #Boys, This summer, don’t just send your child to basketball camp. Send them somewhere the flame inside them receives oxygen. At the Luka Garza Camp, they won’t just get better at basketball. They’ll meet a man who was once counted out completely. As a boy, Luka was the last one picked in scrimmages. “Too slow.” “Not strong enough.” That’s what people said. He heard it. He felt it. And he kept believing anyway. Now imagine your child standing in front of that same voice. The one that still carries him through the brutal realities of the NBA and life itself. The voice that learned how to turn rejection into rocket fuel. Because here’s the truth: Sometimes all it takes is one moment. One conversation. One story from someone who actually lived it. At the LGA camp, there won’t be just one moment. There will be many. #Parents, this is your chance to give your child something far bigger than improved footwork or better shooting form. Give them proof that their current limitations don’t get to write their future. Give them living evidence that belief, when protected and fed, becomes unstoppable. #Girls & #Boys, if you’ve ever felt overlooked, underestimated or “not enough,” this is your invitation. Come learn from a man who refused to let other people’s opinions become his identity. Let that fire inside you be seen, stoked, and set ablaze. The flame is already in you. This summer, give it a chance to burn.

Luka, Congratulations on an impressive year 3 in the NBA. Your devotion & dedication to becoming the best that you are capable of is showing. In 3 short years you went from 270lbs to 247lbs, from 14% body fat to 6%, and your🏀game is vastly different than college. Thank you.🦚
