Basketball fans know how important chemistry is when producing a winning on-court product.
Fortunately for Lakers fans, there’s a ton of chemistry between their two biggest stars — even if it manifests in unique ways.
Luka Dončić’s and Austin Reaves’ friendship has blossomed over the past few seasons, as the two are now quite close. And this closeness was shown in a hilarious way when Dončić was asked to describe Reaves with one word in a recent interview.
“Annoying,” Dončić said while staring dead at the camera, per the Lakers’ X account.
Dončić is just joking around, of course. At least, joking in the way that two friends who love to jab and tease each other constantly do.
That fact that Dončić and Reaves have such a solid bond bodes well for the Lakers’ chemistry, as does the trip that Los Angeles’ roster took to Slovenia last month.
Of course, this chemistry doesn’t guarantee that the Lakers will win games when the upcoming season starts. But if the team struggles, it doesn’t look like a fractured locker room will be the root cause.
