The New Torchbearer for the Lakers?

From Jerry West to Kareem, Magic, Shaq, Kobe, and now LeBron — the Lakers have always had a superstar carrying the torch. Now the torch is passing to Luka Doncic. Could Luka really carry the torch the way Magic, Kobe and LeBron did? #NBA #Lakers #LukaDoncic #LeBronJames #NBAHistory #NBADebate #NBALegends #Sports

LeBron James Helped Inspire Luka Doncic’s Body Transformation

According to Lakers assistant coach Greg St. Jean (currently working with Slovenia’s national team), LeBron James played a role in Luka Doncic’s slimmed-down look this offseason. “Iron sharpens iron. When you’re around really good players, you can’t help but be motivated… Luka’s always looked up to LeBron, always admired him. Having those two together is motivating both ways.” St. Jean highlighted LeBron’s 5 a.m. workouts and relentless body care as an influence on Doncic, who came into EuroBasket noticeably leaner. If Luka has truly taken a page from LeBron’s playbook, the league could be in for a scary season. #LukaDoncic #LeBronJames #NBA #Lakers #EuroBasket2025 #NBANews #Sports

Robert Horry Says Luka Doncic Can’t Be a Top 5 Player

Lakers legend Robert Horry gave his take on Luka Doncic’s all-time ceiling: “No, Luka would never make that… I’m old school. You got to be able to play defense for me. I love Luka’s game, but look at guys like MJ, Kobe, Olajuwon, Duncan, LeBron, Kareem. All these guys, to me, played on both ends.” Horry isn’t denying Luka’s offensive greatness, but he says the lack of elite defense keeps him out of his Top 5 conversation. Do you agree with Big Shot Rob? Is defense the dealbreaker for Luka’s all-time case? #LukaDoncic #RobertHorry #NBA #NBADebate #GOATTalk #Lakers #Sports #BasketballDebate

Dončić’s 39 Not Enough as France Fights Back

Luka Dončić dropped a jaw‑dropping 39 points along with nine rebounds in a near triple-double effort, but Slovenia fell 103‑95 to France. Slovenia led at halftime, yet France outpaced them in a strong fourth quarter. The matchup also sparked debate when Dončić shook hands thinking the game was done—only to have France’s Sylvain Francisco attempt a late layup, stirring controversy. #EuroBasket2025 #Slovenia #France #LukaDoncic #BasketballDrama #Sportsmanship #FIBA #Sports

Jeanie Buss: Luka Was Shocked by Lakers Trade

On Slovenian radio, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss revealed Luka Dončić was blindsided when the trade went down: “Nobody knew the trade was going to happen. I knew but Luka didn’t know. I’ve never had a player come to the Lakers & be as sad as he was because the trade was a huge surprise to him… he had to process it. I think now he’s embraced the Lakers and he’s all about LA.” From shock to Showtime — Luka’s transition to the Lakers is one of the wildest stories of the summer. #Lakers #LukaDoncic #JeanieBuss #NBA #Mavericks #Sports

Dončić Logs Rare EuroBasket Triple‑Double in Win Over Belgium

Slovenia secured its first win of the tournament by outperforming Belgium 86‑69, courtesy of Luka Dončić’s third triple‑double in EuroBasket history since 1995: 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists. Despite rough shooting (9‑for‑23 overall, 2‑for‑11 from deep), Dončić’s all-around play and leadership guided the win. #EuroBasket2025 #Slovenia #LukaDoncic #TripleDouble #Belgium #FIBA #Sports

Most PPG by a Teenager in NBA History

Scoring as a teenager in the NBA isn’t easy — but these guys made it look like nothing: LeBron James — 21.0 PPG Carmelo Anthony — 21.0 PPG Luka Dončić — 20.9 PPG Kevin Durant — 20.3 PPG (50+ games minimum) All four went on to become elite scorers for their careers too. #NBA #LeBronJames #CarmeloAnthony #LukaDoncic #KevinDurant #NBARookies #BasketballTalk #Sports

Luka drops 39 but Slovenia still loses

The Luka Magic hit 1,000 career points for Slovenia with a ridiculous 39-point explosion against France, and they STILL couldn't get the W! This man is literally carrying an entire nation on his back while his teammates watch from the sidelines. Two straight losses despite Luka going nuclear is absolutely heartbreaking. Slovenia's supporting cast needs to step up before they're packing their bags early from EuroBasket. What's it gonna take for Slovenia to finally support their generational talent? #Sports #Basketball #LukaDoncic

Dallas can’t escape Luka: Billboard drama heats up

Luka Doncic’s presence still lingers in Dallas, even after his blockbuster move to the Lakers. The Mavericks’ ownership just had a huge billboard of Luka—promoting his Overwatch 2 collab—moved because it was too close to the American Airlines Center. For fans, it’s a fresh reminder of the franchise’s painful trade and the rocky season that followed. Meanwhile, Luka’s thriving in LA, signing a massive extension and getting in the best shape of his career. Is it time for Dallas to move on, or will Luka’s shadow always hang over the city? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #Basketball #LukaDoncic

Dallas Just Lost Two Generational Demons in 2025

Imagine telling someone this in 2024 — they’d absolutely think you were crazy. First the Mavericks trade Luka Dončić. Then the Cowboys ship out Micah Parsons. Two franchise-cornerstones. Two different sports. One city. Same year. #Dallas #LukaDoncic #MicahParsons #Mavs #Cowboys #SportsHistory #Sports #NBA #NFL
