LeBron James has stated that playing on the same team as Luka Doncic, a new addition to the LA Lakers, will be “special.”

Anthony Davis, an NBA champion with the Lakers in 2020, and Doncic moved in the opposite direction when they signed for the Lakers last weekend.

Doncic, 25, has been an NBA All-Star for the past five seasons and finished as the league’s top scorer in 2024.

“It’s going to be special”, James said. “We’re gonna attract a lot of eyes.

” Listen, Luka is a big-time player. ]He’s] 25-years-old, hasn’t even reached his prime yet, and he’s done some amazing stuff in our league already.

“Laura is happy to have him, and I’m happy to have him.” It’s still a little bit surreal, to be honest”.

James made the remarks shortly after the Lakers’ 122-97 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.

James, a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) winner, hit 26 points, nine assists and eight rebounds as the Lakers strolled to victory.

Doncic, who has had a calf injury since December, watched on from the side of the court alongside his new team-mates.

Doncic expressed his shock to the Lakers before the game by saying before the game.

“You can imagine how surprised I was”, he said.

“I had to check if it was April 1.” I didn’t really believe it”.
