Luka Dončić won a lot of cash or any fan who wager on him or the Los Angeles Lakers last evening.
Lakers head coach JJ Redick, on other hand, is usually on the dropping finish when betting with his star guard.
The Lakers celebrity dropped 28 factors alongside with eight rebounds and and seven assists in Los Angeles’ 127-105 win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday evening.

One of the seven photographs Dončić made was a half-court heave that banked into the basket proper before halftime.
Lakers head coach JJ Redick was requested about Dončić draining that shot postgame and shared a hilarious story.
“We have a silly fine system. [If] you’re a minute late to film, you’re two minutes late to the bus, $500, your personal cash goes in that pot, and we shoot for it every shoot around. And I think by far Luka has won it the most,” Redick said.

“He’s yet to win it this year, but when he shoots a half-court shot —especially when he’s set like that and there’s no defender in front of him — you almost expect it to go in,” Redick added.
“Even when I was his teammate with the Mavs, I lost a lot of money to him. So I expected it to go in.”
Given that Redick was one of the league’s greatest sharpshooters, one would think about that he held his own in these capturing competitions when he and Dončić were Dallas Mavericks teammates during the 2020-21 season.
Instead, it sounds like Luka’s half-court make last evening was the byproduct of him making profitable photographs in apply.
