Since Luka Doncic started playing with the Lakers, fans were unsure how he would fit in. Many worried if he could keep up with LeBron James and the team, especially since his time with the Mavericks was full of mistakes and inconsistency.
But now, it looks like Doncic is building strong chemistry with his new teammates, which helped the Lakers beat the Nuggets in a big 123-100 win.
The Lakers have always struggled against the Denver Nuggets, with the Nuggets often having the upper hand. However, with Doncic scoring 32 points and LeBron contributing 25, the Lakers seem to have the potential to finally reverse the trend.
This shows that Luka is really building great chemistry with his new teammates, and even LeBron believes it. After the game, LeBron compared their teamwork to football. “’I’m a natural-born wide receiver, and he’s a natural-born quarterback, so it fits perfectly,” he said. “It’s all about eye contact and him being the great quarterback like he is and me being the recipient of it.”
LeBron also praised Doncic’s energy, saying, “That’s the Luka that we all have been accustomed to watching over the last seven years. Once he starts hitting those step-back threes, getting the yelling and barking either at the fans or at us or at himself.”
