“I had to check if it was April 1. I didn’t really believe it.” When the Mavs traded Luka Doncic, he was as shocked as everyone else. Obviously, he was heartbroken because Dallas had been his home for seven years. But once the reality sunk in, the Slovenian Sensation realized what an amazing opportunity it was wearing the Purple and Gold, “I get to play in the greatest club in the world, and I’m excited for this new journey.” And Luka made his presence felt in LA during tonight’s Clippers clash by sharing the first of many moments with LeBron and Bronny James.

Well, Doncic cannot make his Lakers debut just yet. The reason? A left calf strain he suffered on Christmas Day. But that didn’t stop him from joining his new teammates on the sidelines at Intuit Dome. Luka dressed in an all black Lakers track suit dapping up the players truly felt like the dawn of a new era for the LA franchise. And guess who he was sitting next to? Yes, it was none other than Bronny and LBJ!

Sure, Laker Nation will get used to this sighting in some time. But Luka sitting on the same bench with the father-son duo felt almost AI generated at first glance. Moreover, Doncic was having an incredible time watching his new team in action.

Especially when Jaxson Hayes threw down a nasty dunk in the first quarter, Luka couldn’t help but clap and smile at the play with a shocked look on his face.

Well, he cannot wait to join in the fun. While he is currently injured, Luka is making decent progress in his recovery. The latest reports revealed that he will participate in 5-on-5 practice on Wednesday and could debut this weekend against the Pacers. And he cannot wait to share the court with LBJ!

Luka Doncic claims playing with LeBron James is a “dream come true”

Who would have thought that one day Luka and LeBron would be on the same team? But that’s the reality we are in. And Doncic is grateful for the historic opportunity, “It’s just like a dream come true. I always looked up to him. There’s so many things I can learn from him.” Sure enough, the youngster couldn’t contain his excitement about teaming up with LBJ and deemed it an “amazing feeling.”

Well, they are two of the greatest offensive players ever, and together they can turn the Lakers into legitimate title contenders. Moreover, James could help Luka with the conditioning problem that everyone seems so concerned about and was reportedly part of the reason he got traded. Obviously, no one has mastered conditioning and physical fitness better than LBJ. Maybe, Doncic will benefit from sharing the locker room with his idol and eventually win a title with him. What a story that would be!
