Luka Dončić’s jab at annoying’ Lakers teammate…
Basketball followers know how important chemistry is when producing a profitable on-court product.
Fortunately for Lakers followers, there’s a ton of chemistry between their two largest stars — even if it manifests in distinctive methods.

Luka Dončić’s and Austin Reaves’ friendship has blossomed over the past few seasons, as the 2 are now fairly close. And this closeness was shown in a hilarious method when Dončić was requested to describe Reaves with one phrase in a latest interview.
“Annoying,” Dončić said while staring useless at the digital camera, per the Lakers’ X account.

Dončić is just joking around, of course. At least, joking in the way in which that two buddies who love to jab and tease each other always do.
That fact that Dončić and Reaves have such a stable bond bodes effectively for the Lakers’ chemistry, as does the journey that Los Angeles’ roster took to Slovenia last month.
Of course, this chemistry doesn’t guarantee that the Lakers will win video games when the upcoming season begins. But if the crew struggles, it doesn’t appear to be a fractured locker room would be the root trigger.
