Lakers star LeBron James finally reveals why he loves Luka Doncic

Published by

Just like LeBron James, Luka Doncic was able to establish himself as one of the greatest generational talents even before he entered the NBA. The Slovenian International established himself as the best player in the European league and could potentially be one of the most looked-after players, becoming the face of the league when King James hangs up his boots.

Luka Doncic and LeBron James

When the spoken-off giants looked horns on the NBA court on Thursday, LeBron James could not help himself from acknowledging the legend of this 23-year-old youngster, who dropped game-high 35 points to secure a hard-fought win for his team in double OT.

Despite enduring their 23rd loss of the season, LeBron gushed over why he loves Luka Doncic unconditionally, “His size. I mean he’s gigantic. A 6-8 point guard. He’s 225 pounds. He has the ball on a string. And more importantly, his vision.”
