It is the season of giving around the world as the holidays are approaching, and Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic is certainly in the mood. The chemistry and camaraderie of this Lakers team has been noticeable all season long and Doncic made a beautiful gesture not just to his teammates, but the entire L.A. staff.
Head coach JJ Redick revealed after practice on Tuesday that Luka gifted everyone E-Bikes to celebrate the holiday season, via Lakers reporter Mike Trudell:
“Yep. He got everybody in basketball ops, I think it was 103 total gifts. A very, very high-end E-bike so I’ll be excited to drive that down to the beach. Looking forward to it. Very nice gesture from him. The guys all really, really enjoyed it.”
This says a lot about who Doncic is as a person as he is not only looking out for his teammates whom he shares the court with, but also all of the coaches and staff who makes this Lakers organization what it is. No one would have batted an eye had Doncic solely gave his teammates the gift, but he wanted to make sure everyone within this franchise was part of this.

And this is something Doncic has shown throughout his short time with the Lakers as Redick also noted how quickly he was willing to give back to the community earlier this year following the horrific wildfires that spread throughout Southern California:
“Yeah, we saw that last year with the way he responded, basically a month after the fires to giving back. It’s just who he is. He’s cognizant of the platform and sort of place that he has within each community that he’s been in and L.A. has been no different and this team has been no different. The Porsche driving experience that he did with his teammates earlier in the year, just stuff like that it’s been awesome.”
Being the face of a franchise isn’t just about dominating on the court, but it is also things like this that really stand out. The Lakers have always talked about being a family and in doing things like this, Doncic is showing he is the right person to lead the way going forward.

As far as on the court, Doncic is known for his offensive exploits and the Lakers have been explosive on that side of the court, but the superstar believes they must figure out their issues on defense sooner rather than later.
