Lakers News: LeBron James Raves About ‘Great Talent’ Luka Doncic

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers will look to grab their first win of the 2020-21 season on Christmas Day. It won’t be easy, as they’ll face potential MVP candidate Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks have a chance to be one of the upper-echelon teams in the Western Conference this season. Much of the excitement with the Lakers-Mavericks matchup centers around James and Doncic.

Although Doncic has only been in the NBA for two seasons, he’s made an exceptional impression on James, as the 18-year veteran has openly said he wanted to sign Doncic to a shoe deal in his rookie year before Doncic signed with Jordan brand.
