Why Lakers Back Doncic in EuroBasket…
Luka Doncic is kicking off FIBA EuroBasket 2025 with his Slovenia squad facing Poland, and he’s about as ready as a superhero in a tracksuit! The Los Angeles Lakers star has transformed his body this offseason, looking fit enough to outrun a cheetah on rollerblades. After securing his contract extension with the Lakers, Luka’s focus is on winning a medal for Slovenia. Despite losing all but one exhibition game and giving fans a scare with a knee injury that turned out to be as dangerous as a kitten with a rubber sword, Doncic is determined to lead his team to victory. Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka, accompanied by governor Jeanie Buss, took a transatlantic flight to Poland just to watch him in action. Pelinka’s faith in Doncic is as solid as a rhino doing yoga, assuring, “Zero problems. Supporting Luka means the world to us.” It’s clear the Lakers are treating Doncic like a king on his basketball throne. Even more so after they didn’t choose each other during Doncic’s trade. Luka, eager to play for his country, has the Lakers fully backing him like a pair of overzealous cheerleaders at the world’s most competitive pep rally!
