Luka Doncic’s blockbuster trade has sent ripples through the entire NBA landscape. The move was extremely unexpected, and the fans lashed out significantly. Meanwhile, as the dust settles on the matter, there has been an upsurge of interest regarding how Doncic will fit into the Lakers’ roster. While he is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in the NBA, his partnership with LeBron James is one to watch out for.
While Luka Doncic prepares for his first match as a Laker, it is none other than LeBron James who is giving away some valuable advice to the 25-year-old. During the pregame huddle, Doncic received a significant pep talk from James. Taking a leaf out of his own career, James remembered how he played his natural game to blend in.
“Don’t fit in, fit the f*** out,” said James to Doncic.
"Luka, be your f***ing self. Don't fit in, fit the f*** out."
