JJ Redick reveals hilarious reason for Luka Doncic’s half-court shot efficiency

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick revealed that Luka Doncic's proficiency with half-court shots stems from a playful team fine system. Players contribute $500 to a pot for infractions like being late to film or the team bus, and the team shoots from half court during shootarounds to win the money. Redick noted that Doncic has won the pot the most, dating back to their time as teammates with the Dallas Mavericks.

Doncic showcased his skill by making a banked half-court shot at the end of the first half against the Golden State Warriors, extending the Lakers' lead to 66-52. The game marked Doncic's return to regular-season action following a hamstring injury that sidelined him late last season.
