SCREAMED AT – Luka Doncic “G0t his Revenge” in the Most Unexpected Way!
Luka Doncic doesn’t open up often-but when he does, he drops gems that say more than just words.
Appearing on Mind The Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash, the 26-year-old Lakers star took a moment to rewind the clock. The story? A halftime dressing-down from a European coach back in his teenage days. The lesson? One that stuck.
Luka Doncic reveals what he hates about playing with the Lakers and LeBron James
“We were up by like 30 at halftime, but I was messing around,”Doncic recalled. “He yelled at me. He made me cry. But that coach… he changed how I looked at the game. That year, we didn’t lose. We won the finals by 30.”
Whether the story was about Real Madrid or his time under Slovenia’s Igor Kokoskov, the message hit home. That kind of raw accountability molded the superstar the Lakers traded for just a few months ago. But there’s more going on beneath the surface-this wasn’t just a trip down memory lane. It felt like a message. And the intended recipient? JJ Redick.
How Luka’s Past Is Speaking Loudly in the Present
Redick, now in his rookie year as head coach, knows Luka better than most. The two were teammates in Dallas, but their relationship has evolved. Now, Redick’s job is to unlock the very best version of his former teammate in the chaotic, high-stakes world of Los Angeles basketball.
“I want to bring out the best version of Luka,” Redick told The Athletic. “That’s what he wants too. He wants to be coached. He wants to be held accountable.”
Doncic’s podcast story confirms that. For all his flash and firepower, he’s still wired like a kid who learned the hard way. He craves structure. Discipline. Honesty. And in Redick, he might have found someone willing to be that voice.
The Lakers didn’t just land a superstar when they pulled off the blockbuster February trade. They brought in a player who thrives under pressure-and who’s hungry for guidance.
If Redick is paying attention, Luka already gave him the blueprint. All it takes now is the courage to follow it.
