All-Star briefs: Luka bows out quickly, gracefully in skills competition

The song says “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” but Luka Donu010diu0107 is proof that no gender can corner the market on having a good time.

The Mavericks’ superstar point guard smiled all the way through his All-Star Sunday, starting with the Taco Bell Skills Challenge.

Donu010diu0107 didn’t win the event. In fact, he was quickly ushered out of the competition when Indiana’s Domantas Sabonis easily won the second-round matchup with Donu010diu0107. Sabonis went on to win the event.

But that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm or the charisma that Donu010diu0107 displayed.

When he watched from almost the full length of the court away – yes, he was that far behind after having trouble with the chest pass part of the skills course – Donu010diu0107 broke into a wide grin and gave Sabonis a hug as he exited to prepare for the All-Star Game.
