Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic revealed what legend Kobe Bryant told him when the late Lakers legend visited Staples Center a few months ago.
Two days before the turn of the new year, Los Angeles Lakers played Dallas Mavericks at the Staples Center. On what was a Sunday night, the arena was graced by the presence of club legend Kobe. After the game ended in a 108-95 loos to Mavericks, Doncic was surprised when Bryant started to speak Slovenian to him.

Luka Doncic getting ready to be an All-Star game after the NBA Rising stars challenge
Doncic is one of the two players- Trae Young being the other- among those who played on Friday and will also be a part of Sunday’s All-Star contest. Naturally, Doncic did not play full speed on Friday with a busy schedule coming up. However, he managed to register 16 points and five assists on the night. A notable moment from his performance came just before half-time when he converted a half-court buzzer-beater with Trae Young right in front of him.
