“Luka and AR are easily the best white boy duo of all time” one fan commented.
“Haha, Luka and Austin’s half-court showdown is pure gold! Love seeing their competitive spirit, even in-game. Luka’s shot was fire, but Austin’s form was on point too. Who do you think won? #LakersNation #DistanceDebate” another fan pointed out.
“The love these two have for each other is fun to watch, they literally try to outplay each other every single night it seems like which is great for the team” one more fan remarked.
Lakers fans cannot thank the Mavericks enough for ending over Luka Doncic, especially since the player has been on fire ever since he reached the team. Doncic has also been phenomenal in molding Austin Reaves, who has been responding superbly to the veteran’s mentorship.

“They were so unserious the last 2 games. Better lock in against the defending champs next game.” another fan commented.
“Am I crazy for thinking we should trade LeBron? I’m just saying yes he’s still good but how many years does he really have left? Trade him and get younger that’s all I’m saying” another fan said what many are thinking.
Many fans have been asking the Lakers to get rid of LeBron James to let younger players like Austin Reaves thrive. James is yet to play his first game this season as he is still sidelined as a result of sciatica.
