Luka Doncic strolled onto the Crypto.com Arena court about an hour before the Lakers’ final preseason game Friday night to do his pregame shooting drills, the Latin and then the Serbian music blaring as he went through his routine, the fans inside the arena oohing and aahing over his collection of shots.
Doncic finished his session with two half-court shots, the one that went in leaving fans shaking their heads. He signed autographs and then dipped into the locker room.
A few minutes later, LeBron James eased onto the court, his baseball cap turned backward, the fans cheering him as he took a seat at the end of the bench.
