Lakers' Luka Doncic admits 'I don't want to show my body' after playing former Mavericks teammates

Luka Doncic made a return to Dallas on Saturday night to take on his former Mavericks team.

Now with the Los Angeles Lakers, nearly a year after the shocking blockbuster trade, Doncic put on a show.

He put up 33 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists in a 116-110 win as many Dallas fans supported him throughout the night.

Maybe the most amusing moment for NBA fans came afterward, though.

Cameras caught Mavericks forward Naji Marshall wanting to do a jersey swap with Doncic.

Doncic pointed toward the back, as if to say, let's do it out of sight.

And then Doncic appeared to say, "I don't want to show my body," adding a chuckle.

No matter how the basketball world feels about Doncic's body, or its role in the trade from the Mavs to the Lakers, it's a fair take from Doncic.

There's certainly no pressure to do the jersey swap right out in the center of the NBA floor with all the cameras out.

But it definitely gave hoops fans on social media something to laugh about, too.
