As the first half of the NBA Rising Stars game on Friday was about to end, Luka Doncic put in a basket from half-court.
Playing for Team USA against Team World, Doncic’s buzzer-beater brought half time at the 26th Rising All-Stars. Immediately after the long-range basket, Doncic enjoyed the moment with Trae Young who was defending Doncic.

This is so wholesome. I love it. Just bc the fans want to have a beef doesn’t mean they have to.

No beef exist, both are great. Trae is going to make 5-10 all star games and have one of the greatest highlight tapes ever mafr and Luka will probably win a few MVPs and a few champions in his career
