Los Angeles Lakers fans everywhere rejoiced on Saturday night as Luka Doncic finally looked like an MVP talent in purple and gold. The Slovenian superstar put forth by far his best performance in a Lakers uniform yet, leading L.A. to a big-time win over the Denver Nuggets, 123-100. He put up 32 points to go with 10 rebounds, seven assists, and four steals in his fourth game since being suddenly and shockingly traded by the Dallas Mavericks.
His superstar teammate, LeBron James, naturally had nothing but good things to say about Doncic getting comfortable. The two are beginning to figure out how to play with one another, and James had a perfect football analogy to describe one particular aspect of their partnership— the full-court pass.
