Luka Doncic may get a real shot at winning his first MVP award if the Lakers win at a high enough rate this season.

Luka Doncic ’s trade to the Los Angeles Lakers shook the entire NBA, with the longtime Dallas Mavericks hero arriving in LA back in February this year. The Lakers acquired Dončić (plus Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris), while Dallas received Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick.

After the game, Luka Doncic and Dennis Smith Jr. shared a lighthearted moment. The Clip went viral and got a lot of public attention.

Denver added Cam Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr, and Jonas Valanciunas, so the Nuggets improved. Jokic is the favorite at DraftKings to start the year, but second in terms of odds behind SGA at other bookmakers. There is a strong case for Jokic to win his fourth MVP.

Nobody is spared from getting a scolding or two from their basketball coach. Not even Luka Doncic who experienced it the most during his three-year highly successful stint with Real Madrid where he played professional basketball as early as the age of 16.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will begin its pursuit of rare back-to-back championships when the 2025–26 NBA campaign tips off Tuesday, but those hoping to catch LeBron James in action for a record 23rd season will have to wait for a few more weeks.
