Pelinka is also singing his heart out to the song's lyrics alongside his team's superstar. Luka Doncic's arrival in LA shocked the entire basketball community as no one saw it coming. Many thought it was a prank or that Shams Charania, the insider who broke the news on his X account, was hacked. Not even the players involved in the trade knew about it until it happened.

However, Luka Doncic made his mark in LA soon after donning the Purple and Gold. He averaged 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game in his first season as a Laker and led the Purple and Gold to a third-place finish in the standings.
