Luka Doncic’s glamorous move out West to the Clippers might just be the brightest move on the board. Now he’s getting ready for his first full season with the Lakers! Doncic might not be a Texan anymore, but his cowboy heart is undoubtedly still kicking. We’ve seen him do this most recently with his partnership with Overwatch 2. In May 2024, during his senior year, he had a top 500 rank in tank role in the game. This achievement underscores his competitive streak and intense love of gaming.
The Lakers recently traded for Doncic in a blockbuster trade from the Mavericks in mid-February. Located close in proximity to Boston and the beach, he adjusted well to his new environment. He put up a career year in 2022 with the Dallas Cowboys. He finished the season averaging 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game! These statistics highlight his abilities on the basketball court and reflect his determination to excel in various aspects of life, including his gaming endeavors.
In a recent promotional still, Doncic got in the center of it all, taking the court alongside Cassidy. In many ways, Cassidy truly embodies the classic Wild West cowboy aesthetic. This sponsorship further cements Doncic’s association with the cowboy motif, aligning his athletic identity with the star-studded league to his off-court passions for poker and western culture. Her signature portrait stands as an ode to his seven-dimensional self, sliding between the realms of pro sports and esports seamlessly.
Doncic’s commitment to Overwatch 2 is further emphasized by his proclivity to get better in the tank role. Going from no basic infrastructure to a top 500 ranking is no easy task, and this experience showcases his creative strategy and poise when the pressure is on. Doncic jumps into the digital space wholeheartedly. He is still the walking definition of the grit and determination that have made him from his basketball roots to his new life.
So it’s pretty clear Doncic is looking forward to playing with the Lakers. Just like you experience on the gaming side, he’ll bring that same level of intensity and focus coming to the court. Currey has fully embraced Los Angeles’ unique and exciting sports culture. As a huge fan and competitive player of Fortnite, this groundbreaking new partnership combines the former athlete’s competitive skills, dynamic interests, and business.
