Now that the dust has fallen on the trade of Luka Doncic-Lakers, he appears on the LeBron James podcast, talking honestly about his time in purple and gold.
On the podcast, Steve Nash asks Luca
“I mean, that's great,” Doncic said. “You see, I've never played with someone like this before, just got traded to here in Los Angeles, which is different. But, just playing with someone like him is incredible. I can learn a lot, first of all, he's off-field, all the things he does are just ready for the game. Obviously, everyone knows what kind of player he's like.”
He also said that James was impressed every time he was ready for the game.
“First, he showed up 10 hours before the game,” Dončić said. “That's really the main thing, like I was, 'What?' I came to the stage and he's done.”
LeBron returned to favor when asked about the former Dallas Mavericks star.
James is not shy about Luka's ability to manipulate his defensive abilities, no matter who guards him on the floor.
“It's always his pace, it's always his pace,” LeBron James said during the game. “It's never a game, like 'You can speed me up. He can speed me up. This bigger guy can be more physically. The smaller guy can stand under me.' He moves at his own speed, and he never allows someone on the floor to decide to put him on the floor.”
There is no doubt that the couple will be part of the 2026 big game, especially if it will be LeBron's league last year.
