Another day, another hilarious antic by Lakers superstar Luka Dončić.
While the Lakers were leading the Hawks 51-32 with 6:34 left in the second quarter on Monday night’s road game at State Farm Arena, Atlanta called a timeout, which forced Dončić to show off his dance moves.
As he started walking back towards the team’s bench and was approaching Walker Kessler, the song “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People began playing off the speakers in the arena.
Dončić immediately started breaking out into the song’s dance and was staring right at Kessler who didn’t seem to notice the Lakers superstar was dancing.
While Kessler didn’t notice Dončić’s dance moves, he couldn’t help but notice his 32-point performance that included eight rebounds and 10 assists.
Monday night marked another night Dončić finished with over 30 points in a game, as he’s done it in all nine games he’s played this season.
This season, Dončić has made his case as an early MVP candidate, coming into Monday’s game averaging 40.1 points with 7.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and shooting 49.8% from the field.
Dončić has gone and scored over 50 points twice this season and has the Lakers with a 9-2 record entering Sunday’s game, which is probably why he’s been feeling so comfortable with the team.
After Friday’s victory against the Trail Blazers, Dončić was seen messing with head coach JJ Redick by peeking his head out during his press conference.
Aside from Dončić putting together another dominant performance, Kessler was in the midst of having another promising performance, as he’s scored 21 points with 10 rebounds and four assists through the first three quarters of the game.
Kessler’s performance is the third time he’s scored 20+ points in a game since October 23. and his historic Lakers debut on October 21.
