Luka magic 🪄

It wasn’t Doncic’s first time showing off his flair for trick shots. Throughout his tenure in the NBA, several behind-the-scenes clips have captured him sinking a variety of creative shots. He even teamed up with the popular YouTube channel Dude Perfect to boast his full range of trick shots.

Many anticipate that Luka Doncic will sign a four-year, $229 million contract extension with the LA Lakers soon, likely after he wraps up his ongoing commitments with the Jordan Brand.

Luka Doncic leaves New York fans excited with comments regarding the Knicks

As part of the Jordan Brand “The One” tour, Luka Doncic was at Yankee Stadium on Monday to catch the New York Yankees host the Tampa Bay Rays. During the MLB contest, Doncic joined the broadcast and answered a series of questions.

During this interaction with announcers Michael Kay and David Cone, the Lakers superstar expressed his admiration for the Knicks and his former teammate, Jalen Brunson.

“So we’re here in New York, your thoughts on the Knicks?,” Kay asked.

“I like the (New York) Knicks,” Doncic replied. “I like my guy JB (Jalen Brunson), you know that. I always cheer for them.”

The conversation also turned toward Doncic’s physical transformation, which has been a hot topic of discussion in the basketball world.

With a bit of sarcasm, the announcers joked that Doncic should consider sending a copy of Men’s Health to the Dallas Mavericks front office, who reportedly traded him earlier in the year due to doubts about his conditioning.

“They probably saw it. I don’t have to worry about that,” Doncic bluntly responded.

Early in February, the blockbuster trade between the Lakers and the Mavericks sent Doncic to LA. Since then, he has played 28 games for the Purple & Gold and averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game.
