Luka Doncic has bounced back for the Lakers after a couple of poor performances in his initial games alongside LeBron James and co. He had his greatest game with his new team so far on Saturday night, leading the Lakers to a 123-100 victory against the Nuggets. His final stats were 32 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block.

Now that the Mavericks’ decision to move Doncic shocked the whole sports world, he is beginning to get used to his new team. With the Lakers pushing for a top 3 finish in the West, all eyes will be on Doncic’s performances going forward into the season.

Snoop Dogg opened up on how he started admiring Luka Doncic

One of the most recognizable Los Angeles Lakers supporters for a long time, Snoop Dogg’s thoughts on hoops usually cause a stir during the NBA season. Notably, he opened up on a moment with new Lakers star Luka Doncic during the 2024 Western Conference Finals. Dogg was in attendance to watch the Dallas Mavericks against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

I was in town, I had a show the next night. I’m a basketball fan, I’ve never seen Luka play live, I wanna see them get down. Kyrie is a friend of mine, just wanna see good basketball, and Anthony Edwards is a bad m**********r. Luka wasn’t talking to me, it was somebody that was talking s**t… When Luka took the lead, he was like ‘Who’s crying now m**********r?’ I was like this n***a a dog. He gets down, I like his get down ‘cause he meets the press.

This was the very moment when Doncic earned another fan in Snoop Dogg. Last year’s Western Conference Finals were dominated by Doncic and the Mavericks, who won four of five games. This included a pivotal game at Minneapolis’s Target Center. With 36 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in that decisive game, Doncic destroyed the Timberwolves defense.
