Luka Doncic’s mother, Mirjam Poterbin recently posted a picture of herself posing in front of the fan-painted mural of her son and the late Kobe Bryant. Poterbin can be seen blissfully smiling in front of the mural wearing large shades. The mural was apparently painted by Lakers’ fans as a way of welcoming Doncic to Los Angeles.

Doncic was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a shocking move from the Dallas Mavericks, in exchange for Anthony Davis. After moving to the Lakers, Doncic has been killing it on the court, easily creating a name for himself in the team.
Luka Doncic was selected by the Atlanta Hawks as the third overall pick in the very first round of the 2018 NBA draft, but eventually played for the Dallas Mavericks until recently. In his career, the Slovenian basketball player has managed to get into the NBA All Star squad five times. In his first season with the NBA, Doncic managed to win the NBA Rookie of the Year title.
Despite the sudden move from the Mavericks, Luka Doncic has made himself comfortable in Los Angeles with his new team. In the ongoing NBA season, Doncic is averaging 26.6 points in each game, while grabbing 8.3 rebounds in every matchup and assisting 7.8 times per clash.
