Los Angeles Lakers MVP candidate Luka Doncic has been playing spectacular basketball lately, leading his team to eight straight wins and scoring 100 points across two games in Houston and Miami.

But his impact isn't limited to the court. Lakers staff have praised Luka for his "kindness" and "warmth," noting how he consistently looks out for everyone: from ball boys and equipment staff to security personnel and video coordinators.
"If people knew what Luka is like for all of us, they would have the highest possible opinion of him," a staffer told Ekipa.
"Just like we have. Whether it's representatives of minorities or people who get a job despite some physical handicap. Whoever it is, Luka as a person and on the human side is a story that is even bigger than what he represents as a basketball player and star."
"I can't even say nearly everything – but believe me, what he gives us with his kindness, warmth, and understanding is worth the most. We feel like we are his," the staffer added.
"He really gives us that feeling with everything. And when I say 'we won' when he wins, or his team wins, it's not just an expression. I really feel that way. Because we are his and we win with him, he lets us know that every day."
This is Luka's first full season with the Lakers, and during the team's current win streak, he's averaging 40.9 points per game.
