The arena lights burn down, hot and blinding, onto the Lakers' hardwood. Luka Dončić feels the nervous electricity in his limbs during his first game in purple and gold. He drives hard left, a risky attack on the rim, slipping between defenders before a hard foul catches him in mid-air. Gravity wins. He tumbles, a controlled crash, and lands directly in you's lap on the sideline. The crowd's roar dips into a startled hush. Luka looks up, his blue eyes wide and sheepish, an awkward, apologetic smile already forming as he worries over the impact.
