Kardashian, who has been a vocal supporter of the Lakers, is known for her larger-than-life persona and significant influence. This request to meet Doncic could be another deal breaker for the Slovenian star. Kim owns a brand named Skims that was named as the official underwear partner of the NBA and WNBA just in 2023.
Interestingly, Luka has not yet debuted for the Lakers after the trade. But the local crowd has already started showing love to him. The ticket prices are soaring; the collectibles are going crazy sold out, and whatnot. Kim’s latest interest only adds to the superstar fame Doncic carries with him.

Luka Doncic’s Former Coach Is Hopeful Of His Pairing With LeBron James
While Luka Doncic is now at the Lakers camp, his fit with LeBron James could be a thing to look for. LeBron has mostly played alongside Davis on the court, and the team has to come up with a game plan to fit Luka around him.
Both players are known for their ability to control the ball and orchestrate the offense. And it raises the question of whether they can coexist on the court without stepping on each other’s toes. However, Rick Carlisle, Doncic’s former coach during his time with the Dallas Mavericks, isn’t worried about the potential clash. In fact, he believes that the combination of their talents could be unstoppable.
“I don’t see any world in which it doesn’t work, right? As I’ve thought about all these events of the last few days, a couple things strike me. We’re talking about two guys who really, when they simply came into the world and started playing basketball, were expected to be guys that would have statues built for them,” Carlisle said.
