Luka Doncic Reveals His Football Position Without Hesitation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic has always been passionate about basketball. He started with the sport at a young age, even signing a five-year contract with Real Madrid when he was 13.

The Luka Doncic trade remains an unbelievable calamity. The Dallas Mavericks gave up on a franchise superstar at 25 years old, despite just coming off a run to the NBA Finals, and gave him to the Los Angeles Lakers basically for free.

While it no doubt accelerated his growth, it also probably contributed to the deferred adolescence we’ve witnessed when it comes to taking care of himself.
