Christmas is almost here, and people across the land are starting to complete their shopping for gifts. Amidst the massive affordability problem, many may have to opt for cheaper and simpler gifts than they would like.
But money isn't exactly a problem for Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic. He will make a hair under $46 million this season, and over the summer, he agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension. His consistent superstar-level play over the last five or six years has earned him the right to be extra generous with his money, which is something he has done on multiple occasions, especially since being traded to the Lakers in February.

“He got everybody in basketball ops, I think it was 103 total gifts. A very, very high-end e-bike so I’ll be excited to drive that down to the beach. Looking forward to it. Very nice gesture from him. The guys all really, really enjoyed it.”
Earlier this year, Doncic donated $5,000 to help repair a mural of late Lakers great Kobe Bryant that got vandalized. Following the massive Palisades and Eaton fires that destroyed sizable parts of the Southland in January, Doncic donated $500,000 toward fire relief efforts.
Pretty soon, it will be time for Doncic to give the Los Angeles area something that not even all the money in the world can buy — at least one NBA championship.
