Luka Doncic shines at Lakers press conference following contract extension announcement.
Here are some of the most notable quotes from the event:
“To begin with, I’ll speak in Spanish because I know there are many Lakers fans who speak Spanish… Just kidding, just kidding.
I just want to say thank you. As I said in Spanish too, you’ve welcomed me with open arms. The whole organization has made me feel right at home, and I can’t wait to start giving back.”
Q: Six months ago you arrived here under very different circumstances. What has this stretch been like, and when did you know you wanted to stay?
“Not right away after the trade, but once I started playing, I knew I wanted to stay. This is an incredible organization. There’s trust throughout every part of it, and that made the decision pretty easy.”
“It’s an honor to play for this franchise. So many great players have worn this jersey. Obviously, I want to help add another banner up there. That’s what we’re working for… I truly believe we have a great team. We’ve got everything we need to compete for a title. I’m going to give everything I have to win every game. We’ve added some really strong pieces, and we’re ready to go for it.”
Q: How easy was it to commit to the extension?
“Easy. Being a Laker is an honor. You look up and see all those names… I want to be part of that history too, someday.”
