As the Los Angeles Lakers gear up for the NBA playoffs, Luka Dončić shared a surprising admission in a recent interview: LeBron James’ son, Bronny James, would make him nervous during a game.
Luka Doncic has quickly become one of the most impactful additions the Los Angeles Lakers have made this decade. His intelligence and leadership have been crucial to the team’s success throughout the NBA season. Recently, Doncic shared a surprising and humorous revelation about how LeBron James’ son, Bronny James, could make him nervous during a game.
Despite Doncic’s composed demeanor during key moments of both the regular season and playoffs, he admitted an unexpected detail about Bronny during a recent interview. While Bronny hasn’t played a major role in the Lakers’ playoff run so far, Doncic still showed his admiration for the young guard.
Speaking on the Sundae Conversation Show, Doncic was asked which name would make him the most nervous during a Lakers game. Presented with three options, two Hollywood celebrities and LeBron‘s son, Doncic delivered an unexpected response.
“Bronny James would make me nervous if he’s in the stands, because usually he’s on the bench. So I’d be wondering why he’s in the stands,” Doncic joked, creating a lighthearted moment during the interview.
During the interview, Doncic was asked to weigh in on the GOAT debate. However, the twist wasn’t just naming the greatest player of all time, he had to label one “GOAT” and two “sheep” among LeBron, Michael Jordan, and himself. His answer caught many by surprise.
“I can’t answer that,” Doncic said firmly. Despite pressure from the interviewer to make a choice, he didn’t hesitate to stand his ground and respectfully decline to answer that question.
Doncic’s response reflects his deep respect for both LeBron and Jordan’s legacies. While confident in his own growing place among the NBA’s elite, the Lakers star recognizes he still has much to accomplish before entering the GOAT conversation himself.
When asked if he would ever consider becoming an NBA referee after his playing days, Doncic didn’t mince words. “No chance to do that,” he said without hesitation.
Doncic also addressed whether he holds any resentment toward NBA referees. “No, I love them. It’s all right. I love them,” he said. With the playoffs approaching, the Slovenian star remains fully focused on helping the Los Angeles Lakers make a deep postseason run.
