Carter also got a Luka Doncic card personally signed by the Slovenian superstar. Carter initially said it was for his son's collection before jokingly claiming that it was actually for himself.

Just like most Lakers fans, Carter was happy to see Doncic sign a three-year, $165 million extension to stay in Hollywood. "Luka Magic" is now the official face of the franchise, with LeBron James in the final year of his contract and being linked to a potential trade.

Doncic was born in 1999, a few years after the Backstreet Boys peaked. Nevertheless, all five members, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell, were hyped to meet the Slovenian superstar.
