VIDEO: Rajon Rondo Caught Eyeing Luka Doncic From Lakers' Bench
By Jerry Trotta
The Luka Doncic destruction tour made its way to the Staples Center on Sunday night, when the Dallas Mavericks ended the Los Angeles Lakers' 10-game winning streak. The 20-year-old sophomore sensation tallied 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 10 assists in 33 minutes, a performance that was punctuated by an imposing step back over the LeBron James. Doncic's dominance even provoked an interesting reaction from Rajon Rondo, who was caught gawking at the Slovenian superstar from LA's bench.
Honestly, there's probably a lot of people admiring Doncic right about now, but perhaps none with as much intensity as Rondo.
We honestly have no idea whether Rondo's look was one of infatuation of the NBA's next great talent or if it was of sheer disdain for Doncic ending the Lakers' win streak.
Doncic is taking the league by storm in Year 2, and everyone is taking notice. But it doesn't seem like anyone is quite as intrigued with the Slovenian as Rondo is.
