Luka Doncic tends to hold the ball down quite a bit, and this decision to push LeBron James off the ball can be dangerous.
Luka Donsic has completely changed the Los Angeles Lakers after his arrival. The 5-time All-Star is very suitable for living with the Lakers.
Rob Perinka must be praised for turning the Lakers into a nominee within just two years. And it was Paisé de Recistance, which landed Donsic.
However, the last two games showed signs of concern from the Lakers. Even Luka Donsic has admitted a few weeks ago that the Lakers must return to winning ways.
Paul Pierce believes Luka Donsic’s sparks against the Lakers may be beginning to go away. But another NBA analyst had some harsh comments from Doncic.

Chris Brussard tackled the Los Angeles Lakers’ defeat to the Orlando Magic. He pointed out that despite being a very talented player, Luka Donsic is a ballhog.
Luka may have left with too much grip on the ball along with his other teammates, but he shouldn’t do that with LeBron James.
“Luka Donsic is a pig of the ball. A pig of the ball. Hall of Fame. A pig of the ball – Future Hall of Fame.
“This was ridiculous. You’re all these guys standing up and looking at you. He took nine shots in the first quarter… When you have Tim Hardaway as your teammate, that’s one thing that’s going to be a ball hog.
“Heck, even Jalen Branson and Kyrie Irving. But when you’re five out, everyone is standing there and watching you manipulate and seeing LeBron James as a teammate? That’s not good.”
“This is related to defense. When you watch just one man move… it leaves your morale, especially when the man can’t protect it.”

Speaking further in the segment, Brussard tried to present the positivity and negative of the situation. He pointed out positive things that little was considered. Luka Donsic and LeBron James have played together before.
However, Luke had to adapt in LeBron’s absence and had not returned to his previous methods. Fox Sports Analysts believe James is the only player who can say something to get Luka to change his way.
“No other players can say anything to Luka. He’s used to doing this with LeBron. He’s back and he has to regroup as LeBron is back.”
“If he doesn’t, LeBron is the only person (the person who can talk to him). Reddick can’t even say anything. I don’t know if that’s coming to it.”
In the same segment, Brussard also claimed that the magic set a blueprint for protecting Don Chic in the future. It is not yet known whether this is true or not, but Luka will need to fix his error in the coming weeks.
