Just Luka doing Luka things.
Dallas Mavericks fans had their first opportunity Sunday to take a look at the 2024-25 Mavs when they hosted their yearly “Fan Jam,” and this also gave them a chance to look at new talent such as shooting guard Klay Thompson, shooting guard Quentin Grimes and small forward Naji Marshall. With that being said though, it’s point guard Luka Dončić and center Dereck Lively II making the headlines.

A video shows both Dončić and Lively on one side of the court and choppin’ it up prior to the former slinging a full-court shot. This particular footage didn’t spotlight whether Dončić hit the shot or not, but analyzing the reaction from Lively, it’s pretty clear that Luka put the ball right through the hoop.

We eventually saw in another video the made shot from Dončić, and it’s exactly the kind of amazing that you expect from the 25-year-old.
Dereck Lively bet 100k that Luka Doncic couldn’t make a full court shot first try.
He drilled it.pic.twitter.com/FAvJsBlVXw

“How much did Lively lose to Luka just now, (because) Luka absolutely hit that,” tweeted one fan.
Well, Luka gave us the answer: $100,000.

And just like that, we can expect Luka to have another MVP-caliber season — wild stuff.
