Luka Doncic’s Prime-Time Lakers Debut…
The NBA is shaking things up in the 2025-26 season by switching its broadcast partners faster than you can say ‘dribble’. NBC and ESPN will pick up the mantle from TNT while Amazon Prime sneaks in with the L.A. Lakers’ seven-game coverage. It’s like they found a genie who only grants wishful season schedules. With Luka Doncic and LeBron James flashing wider grins than a Cheshire cat at the spotlight, fans are bound to be glued to their screens. And if Luka’s first months in L.A. are anything to go by, expect him to pop up in more commercials than a hyperspaced squirrel on caffeine.
In a wild new NBA on Prime commercial, we see Doncic and Donovan Mitchell delivered to fans’ houses in magical Prime boxes by none other than retired All-Star Blake Griffin, who’s now redefining ‘special delivery’. Meanwhile, Luka’s not only making moves on the court but also in real estate—bagging Maria Sharapova’s home at Manhattan Beach. Plus, despite a hiccup at EuroBasket 2025, he’s set to storm the NBA courts with a vengeance, aiming to steer the Lakers into some serious postseason hoop-la. Lakers fans, buckle your seatbelts; it’s going to be a prime ride!
