Lakers fans have plenty to cheer about after their dominant 123-100 victory over the Denver Nuggets. But more than the win itself, it was Luka Doncic’s standout performance that stole the spotlight. The new Lakers star put up 32 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, and a block—silencing any doubts about his early struggles in purple and gold. Among those taking notice was none other than Snoop Dogg, who wasted no time celebrating Doncic’s efforts on social media, per FirstSportz.
Snoop’s ‘LuCuh’ Shoutout for Luka
Snoop Dogg, a lifelong Lakers fan, hopped on Instagram to give Doncic his stamp of approval. He dubbed the Slovenian star “LuCuh” in a post that read: “Keep workn 
!!!! Lakeshow 
.” The nickname fits right in with Snoop’s signature West Coast slang, and the post was clearly meant as a fun way to show support.

The rap icon is known for his lighthearted and comedic takes on sports, often sharing playful memes and commentary. This time, he made it clear that Doncic’s performance against Denver—where the Lakers finally got the best of the team that has dominated them in recent matchups—was worth celebrating.
Luka’s Big Adjustment and The Blockbuster Trade
Doncic’s transition to the Lakers hasn’t been seamless. He faced some growing pains in his first few outings alongside LeBron James and company. But after a few shaky performances, he delivered his best game yet in the Lakers’ uniform. His near triple-double fueled a win that boosted L.A.’s hopes for a top-three finish in the Western Conference.
The blockbuster trade that brought Doncic to Los Angeles was a shock to the NBA world. The Lakers swapped Anthony Davis for the Mavericks’ franchise cornerstone, sending ripples through the league. While fans had mixed emotions about losing AD—who helped secure the 2020 championship—Doncic’s arrival signaled a new era. Even Snoop paid tribute to Davis, thanking him on social media for his contributions to the team.
Now, the focus shifts to how Luka Doncic and the Lakers will fare in their playoff push. If his performance against Denver is any indication, Snoop and the rest of Laker Nation may have a lot more to celebrate in the coming months.
