As the Los Angeles Lakers are still trying to get into the playoffs, head coach JJ Redick named the best player to coach in the NBA and it's not LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers are under immense scrutiny as they continue to shape their identity following the blockbuster trade that sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks.

Many thought Redick was smiling in disbelief about having Doncic on his team during Saturday’s broadcast, but Redick says it was because “Luka said something stupid, which made me laugh.”

Luka Doncic finally made his much-anticipated debut with the Los Angeles Lakers, more than a week after he was acquired in the most stunning trade in recent NBA history. He wasn’t at the peak of his powers, but he still provided a tantalizing preview of what this new partnership with LeBron James will look like.
