A car belonging to Luka Doncic parked outside the Crypto.com Arena set Los Angeles Lakers fans roaring in the build-up to the game that the Los Angeles Lakers ended up winning against the Mavericks in Doncic’s reunion with Dallas.
The luxurious vehicle, valued at five million dollars and tinted gold and purple for the occasion, was the center of attention for the thousands of attendees who did not want to miss the long-awaited face-to-face meeting of Doncic with his former teammates until just over a month ago.
‘Parking reserved for Lakers 77’ reads a post that simulates a parking lot, with its white lines painted around it, placed right next to a replica of the new Lakers player’s vehicle, as part of an advertisement to promote Tuesday’s game.
Luka Doncic changes Texas license plate to California’s to the tune of ‘All My Exes Live in Texas’
A tracksuit-clad Doncic appears in an ad posted on social media changing the car’s Texas license plate to a California one. “Tank’s full, no mercy,” the ad states, which included the song ‘All my Ex’s Live In Texas’.
It was a statement of intent for his rivals, although all the facilities were put in place for this, as the Lakers player also offered a complete parking lot free of charge so that those attending the match would not have difficulties parking their cars in the vicinity of the stadium.
“Take a picture with Doncic’s car,” encouraged the staff guarding the vehicle, located right in front of the main entrance to the Lakers’ stadium, where the statue of the team’s star, the eternal Kobe Bryant, is located.
For many, it was the perfect opportunity to show off the number 77 next to a replica of Doncic’s car, whose jersey is already more frequently among the fans’ favorites to cheer on their team.
Whether he wore the shield of his previous team or the current Lakers’ gold, the jersey with the Slovenian’s inscription predominated without distinction among the long lines that formed minutes before the meeting in Los Angeles.
Once inside, a packed stadium waits eagerly for the moment when Doncic scores his first points of the game. The entire crowd screams with excitement, rises to its feet and vibrates to the rhythm of its new star when the ball goes into the opponent’s basket.
