Media Day Press Conference
Q. Luka, who is your favorite teammate ever? Answer carefully.
LUKA DONCIC: All of them.
Q. Not one in particular?
LUKA DONCIC: No.
Q. Not a 7-4 Serbian center [Boban Marjanovic]?
LUKA DONCIC: Definitely not.
Q. Top 10, top 20, top 30?
LUKA DONCIC: Top 20.
Q. There's a rumor that you might be interested in investing in an NBA Europe team in Rome with Donnie Nelson. Can you talk about that?
LUKA DONCIC: No, I can't really talk about that. We're here for All-Star, and I really want to talk about All-Star.
Q. You missed the last four games with the Lakers. How are you feeling? Do you think you'll get a chance to play in the All-Star Game? If you do play, if you get a chance, will you try to dunk on LeBron?
LUKA DONCIC: I feel pretty good. You know, I've been working to get back. Obviously wanted to play the last game, but it wasn't possible. I was almost there, so I think I'll play a little bit.
No, I will not try to dunk on LeBron.
Q. You've done a lot of amazing things in your young career, scoring, rebounding, all of these different things. Do you think scoring 100 points in a game is reachable for you?
LUKA DONCIC: I don't know. I don't think so. I scored 73, and it was a lot. It felt like every shot went in, and 100 is just -- it's just too much.
Q. What are some of the emotions that come up for you as you're an All-Star for the first time as a Laker?
LUKA DONCIC: Every All-Star, just blessed. I'm going to look back at it. I'm a six-time All-Star now, and not everybody can say they're an All-Star. So just take everything into the moment and enjoy this.
Q. Luka, what's your favorite part about NBA All-Star Weekend, maybe something that fans don't get to see?
LUKA DONCIC: I would just say the game. You know, playing with the best, the best guys in the world. You know, just being there, like I said, taking the moment in and just enjoy it.
