Growing up in Slovenia, Doncic had two sporting loves as a child and he believes that both helped him in his career.

While he was initially shocked over the trade that sent him to Los Angeles in early February, he has seemingly gotten over those emotions. According to Dan Woike of The Athletic, he has given several signals that he intends to stay with the Lakers long term, including his assistance in recruiting center Deandre Ayton and now guard Marcus Smart.

Dallas Mavericks fans might want to look away. While fans are incredibly happy with Flagg and all of the possibilities he brings, Doncic was the franchise player who was beloved in Dallas, somehow rivaling even Dirk Nowitzki as the all-time face of the franchise.
