NBA champion Lakers, including Magic Johnson and Pau Gasol, welcome Luka Doncic to the team as the latest addition to the franchise's long list of mega superstars.
Luka is officially part of the Lake Show, with the newest Lakers mega superstar wasting no time getting to Los Angeles.
The Lakers posted a video of Luka Doncic arriving in the city Monday (PHL), less than 24 hours since the news first broke that he was traded from the Dallas Mavericks for Anthony Davis.

Metta World Peace, who won the 2010 NBA Championship with the Lakers, also shared his reaction to the mega trade as he saluted the outgoing Davis for a “great job” as a Laker.
