The Los Angeles Lakers' shocking mid-season acquisition of ex-Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić has paid dividends for the storied franchise, as the group currently holds onto possession of the No.

The shocking trade that sent star point guard Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers undoubtedly took a toll on the young phenom, and his new teammate LeBron James has been doing his part to make the transition to his new franchise an easy one.

Fortunately for him, James was there to tip it in as time expired. After the game, Doncic expressed his appreciation for the four-time MVP, saying he was grateful James had the confidence in him to take the shot—and even more thankful that he was there to clean up the miss.
