Luka Doncic scoring 43 points against the Golden State Warriors was the stuff of highlights, but as thrilling as it was, the Lakers still walked away with a 119-109 loss. It’s a curious contradiction of a player delivering peak performance while the team fails to capitalize. And that’s precisely where Lakers legend James Worthy steps in, cutting through the hype to issue a blunt reminder that even the brightest stars need their supporting cast firing early.
Worthy, fresh off comparing Luka to Magic Johnson in September, emphasized the nuances in Doncic’s game that make him dominant. “He’s an unstoppable player,” Worthy said, pointing out Luka’s ability to get to his spots, use his body for spacing, and attack efficiently. Yet, the Hall of Famer also highlighted a crucial adjustment.
