From Dallas darling to LA leader
Luka Doncic admitted he was stunned when the Mavericks traded him to the Lakers, saying he didn’t know what to say or how to act. He wanted to stay in Dallas but now embraces LA, aiming to lead in 2025-26.
Fans were emotional, but still cheered Doncic back in Dallas. Today, Lakers supporters already adore him—because if there’s one thing LA loves more than stars, it’s stars who also pass the ball (a rare Hollywood plot twist!).
