The 2023 NBA All-Star game showcased some of the brightest stars in the league. Just like each year, these superstars battled against each other to provide unreal entertainment to the fans.
But since it hasn’t been too long since the NBA Trade Deadline, there are certainly a few players who are not seeing eye-to-eye. Among them, LeBron James and Luka Doncic could be two prominent names.
The reason behind this is the trade of Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks. It was not a well-hidden secret that James wanted Irving to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. Fast forward to the 2023 NBA All-Star game, James and Irving greeted each other in an amazing manner. Well, it seems like Doncic certainly didn’t like the two superstars dapping.

Following Kyrie’s trade to the Mavericks, one NBA executive claimed this move could lead to Doncic leaving the team. While Luka and Kyrie have said nothing but positive things for one another, Doncic’s jealous stare could mean otherwise.
LeBron James Called Luka Doncic ‘Hookah’ Doncic
LeBron James has never been silent about making tall claims when it comes to Luka Doncic. Keeping that in mind, it wasn’t a surprise that James drafted Luka to his team at the 2023 NBA All-Star game.
But James made one hilarious mistake while drafting the Dallas Mavericks superstar instead of his original name. James called Luka ‘Hookah’ Doncic. LeBron immediately realized his mistake, but it was too late for him to save himself from becoming a meme.
“Hookah Doncic.” 😂
– LeBron.

Considering Luka and LeBron have a good relationship, the Mavericks superstar wouldn’t mind this slip of the tongue by James. On top of that, considering it was the NBA All-Star game, players were generally in a great mood.
While fans get a chance to see LeBron, Luka, and Kyrie share the court together, the next time these guys are involved in a game, it will be LeBron vs. the duo of Kyrie and Luka.
I’m dead!! Luka in the back like oh yeah that boy gone. He’s Laker bound. ✌️🙃pic.twitter.com/dOHTppY37M
