When the Los Angeles Lakers acquired superstar Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks last season, it was quite the journey. Fans were giddy with anticipation, wanting to see what this new lineup might do because of all the quality on their roster.
But the Lakers suffered a crushing loss in the postseason, which brought about an unexpected turn of events. They suffered a 4-1 series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opening round.
Doncic’s latest conversation on LeBron James’ podcast, “Mind the Game,” took a strange turn. In response to the legendary Steve Nash’s question about his quickness, Doncic sent a daring message to the world.
Doncic said: “I have speed, I just don’t show it,”
“I have speed, I just don’t show it.” 😂
