As Luka Doncic patiently made his way to the podium Friday for Media Day at All-Star Weekend, it was crystal clear that he was the player reporters mostly wanted to hear from.
After all, of all the players involved for interviews, none had a larger crowd gathered around them than Doncic. It was as if the Dallas Mavericks’ point guard was the Piped Piper and everyone was following him and hanging on his every word.
“He’s a great all-around basketball player,” said New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson, who also drew a large crowd at his podium.
