Luka Doncic is 25 years-old and universally recognized as one of the best players in the NBA who has unlimited potential and yet all that wasn't enough to keep him with the Dallas Mavericks.

On the other, the young superstar has an opportunity to seize on a tremendous amount of newfound motivation to prove a point over and over again for a decade-plus.
Stephen A. Smith, noticing the way Doncic and his father have responded to the blockbuster move, says we need to pay attention to the new Los Angeles Laker as he embarks a new phase of his career.
