"Not introducing LeBron last is crazy": Lakers fans floored with Luka Doncic's electric introduction

Luka Doncic's much-awaited LA Lakers introduction was as electric as expected. In a case where superstars are being introduced last, that honor was reserved for the 25-year-old superstar they acquired before the deadline. His teammate, LeBron James made way for the Doncic last call announcement in a wholesome gesture much to the fans' delight.

Doncic's introduction at Crypto.com Arena had fans on their seats and with free Doncic tees for the attendees. The atmosphere was festive at best as the Lakers welcomed their newest star.

Reactions poured in soon, with one of the fans writing:

"Not introducing LeBron last is crazy"

One fan was still in a daze about the Luka Doncic trade:

"This is still surreal!"

Another was confident of a title coming in.

"Championship loading"

One fan tweeted:

"Luka’s first introduction as a Laker was electric—what a moment to kick off a new era in Los Angeles! The energy in the arena was off the charts, and you could feel the anticipation for what he’ll bring to the team."

And a Mavs fan was understandably miffed:

"Can’t believe this is real. Nico Harrison is an embarrassment"

When writing, the Lakers led the Jazz 37-25 in the first quarter with Luka Doncic propping up a three and A deuce for five points. Ultimately, it was a comfortable Lakers win as they propped up their sixth straight win beating the Jazz 132-113.

Luka Doncic continues to work himself to game mode

It was understandable as Luka Doncic tried to shake off the rust early on in his debut. The guard clattered a few 3s making just one of his seven attempts, and went 5-14 from the field. He made all three of his free throws to finish with 14 points, five rebounds, and four assists in just over 23 minutes of action.

Doncic will likely suit up again against the Jazz on Wednesday with the action shifting to the Delta Center in Utah. The guard is coming off a calf injury and will be the beneficiary of an extended break as he missed the All-Star cut this time around.
