Mavericks star Luka Doncic's 10 funniest moments of his career so far

5. Joking around with Nikola Jokic (February 2022)
The 2022 NBA All-Star Game gave fans a glimpse of how a jokester Luka Doncic can be. He found himself on the same side as Nikola Jokic, allowing him to have some fun with him.
That's exactly what happened during one shootaround as the Denver Nuggets superstar was practicing his soccer with the basketball. Luka messed his rhythm up by throwing another ball in his direction, and the two-time MVP responded in the most Jokic way possible.
Throughout the weekend, the European pair displayed their entertaining chemistry even off the court. While Doncic was in the middle of a press conference, the Serbian center happened to pass by and tossed a ball at him. Fortunately, it wasn't a basketball. Still, it was enough to distract Luka from what he was doing.
The duo had plenty of reasons to be excited during the event, more so since their squad triumphed in the midseason exhibition match. They played for Team LeBron, although they took a backseat to their teammates' phenomenal performances. It was Stephen Curry who stole the show, putting up 50 points and sinking 16 3-pointers, an All-Star Game record.
Of course, such a weekend is the only time Doncic and Jokic can share the floor as teammates. They have faced off against one another a total of 15 times, and while Luka has had the better overall stats in those meetings, "Joker" has the edge in wins by a hair (8-7).
