Buss and Pelinka Back Doncic in Poland…
Ever since the Lakers scooped up Luka Doncic in a trade that sent shockwaves larger than a dunk from the top of the Empire State Building, they’ve been his number one fans. As EuroBasket 2025 kicks off, they’re cheering louder than a squirrel at an acorn convention! Some NBA teams might fret about injuries in international play, but Luka’s always felt backed by the Lakers. Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka have zipped over to Poland to watch Slovenia’s practice, proving once again that the Lakers are more of a family than that loud clan from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”
While flying halfway across the globe for a practice might seem unnecessary, it’s all in the Lakers’ plan to treat Luka like a royally absurd part of their basketball monarchy. Buss and Pelinka know this trip will stick with Doncic longer than a song you can’t get out of your head! With Slovenia’s schedule packed, starting with Poland, then a face-off with Olympic silver-medalist France, and games against Belgium, Iceland, and Israel, Doncic is geared to lead his team to victory and carry that momentum back to the Lakers. Get ready, NBA—it’s about to get as intense as a cat in a room full of laser pointers!
