On August 8, Beijing time, after signing a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Doncic's latest news has become a hot topic, particularly the way he spends his money has gone viral online. This Slovenian superstar has always been fond of cars, and recently, he was seen driving a Rimac Nevera around.
It is said that the starting price of this all-electric supercar is $2.2 million. Fans on social media have shared their thoughts on the viral video.
“Rimac Nevera, accelerating from 0 to 300 km/h in under 8 seconds, that’s insane. Luka knows his cars!”
“Those streets don’t deserve this car!”
“Los Angeles money is just different, wow!”
“He might have the best car in the league.”
“His style really resembles someone who plays for the Lakers.”
“Let me tell you, this guy feels great about himself right now. He’s sending a message to the entire league, and I love that confidence.”
This is exactly the kind of attention Luka must get used to while playing for the Lakers now. However, all this praise could quickly turn into criticism. After all, no matter how glamorous the offseason is, if he fails to deliver results when it matters next season, it will mean nothing.
Doncic has always believed in his abilities and even stated in today’s interview that “he played great even before losing weight.” However, after successfully shedding 14 kilograms, Doncic's performance is indeed more anticipated. He is expected to play in the warm-up match against Germany on August 9, perhaps not for long, but everyone can get an initial glimpse of what’s different about Doncic after his weight loss.
